Chicaao's Fair CarVers.

Wood carving is rapidly coming into
favor with Chicago society women.

Chicago Arts and Crafts society was
organized, and here its principal meet.
ings are held. Che Of the most widely
known women of the wood carving fra
ternity is Mrs. Anne Higginson Spicer.
Her workshop is in the cellar of what is
known to her neighbors as ''Ye Little
Gray House. y The cozy space now oo-
cupied by benches and all the parapher-
MALTA of a complete and artistic wood
working establishment was once a coal
bin. The history of Mrs Spicer's enlist
ment in the ranks of this craft is simple
but unique. Being unable to find in the
open market the kind of furniture
which she desired, she Courageously de-
termined to learn how to make it. At
first her decorative attempts were of the
simplest character, but as she gradually
acquired a better use of her tools she
brOadened the scope of her work and
essayed more difficult tasks, until there
are now few women who would attempt
to excel her in either originality Of de-
sign or skill of execution.
Her latest and perhaps most notable
piece is wood box, the front of which
is covered Ivy a design symbolic of the
fire god. Even the heavy metal hinges
of the box bear testimony to her fine
Craftsmanship, for she works in metal
as we'll as in wood. While this piece is
deliberately carved, it is also enriched
by fire etching-a branch of the decora-
tive art to which Mrs. Spicer has devot-
ed much time in the last year. She does
her own finishing and staining and is,
in fact, able to construct piece of art
furniture, beginning with the wood in
the rough and carrying it through all
the processes of development to the last
touch of color. A piano bench, settee,
library table and several chairs in this
home stand as convincing testimonial
to the fact that at least one woman has
been able to make furniture of an artistic
quality not obtainable in the ordinary
channels of trade. Chicago Post.

EXPERIMENT Ar PHILADELPHIA.
baltimore and Cleveland Clubs VIII
Play Before Neutral Spectators

A unique experiment in the base ball
world will be tried at Philadelphia today
when the Clevelands and Baltimores will
begin series of three games at Philadel-
Phla Park, the games being originally
scheduled for Cleveland. This playing of
games in league city by two outside clubs
has never been done before, and its result
is being watched by base ball enthusiasts
all over the country. Cleveland has 1e-
ceived such poor support home this sea-
son that wholesale transfers have been re-
sorted to. The idea of playing the Balti-
more series at Philadelphia was original
with President Robson, and, although
Manager Hanlon put forward good induce
ments, the Cleveland nagnate could not be
shaken, and 1t was decided to go through
with the eAperim Philadelphia as I'M
doubtedly the best base ball city in the
country, and the patrons of the club rep
reSenting that city for the past three sea-
sons have had to put up with a very poor
sample of the national game. With the op-
pOrtunity presented to these enthusiasts of
seeing two of the leading clubs " the
league playing together with positions in
the championship race depending upon the
contests, there is hardly a doubt that
large attendance will be seen 1T all three
games. The Philadelphia club plays in Pitts
burg for the next three days, thus all )wing
the open dates at Philadelphia PARK TO be
utilized.
The games themselves will prove sual-
ly interesting and on form the Cleveland
club should land the series. The Wander
ing Hibernians' are playing exceptionally
fine ball just now, and have their regular
team in the field. With the Baltmo-es it
is different. Their playing this season has
been spasmodic-one day good and the next
bad. Then, too, McGraw has been injured
recently and Brodie, although getting hack
In the game today, is hardly TT to play.
The Clevelands are undoubtedly the strong
est away from home players in the bu 81
ness, and this, too, should weigh IN their
favor. But base ball is weird pastime to
keep tab on, and it would just be in order
for the Orioles to go down the line with
three straight victories to their credit.

Tommy Corcoran is still suffering from
the effects of Harry Steinfeldt's Spanish
shot last Sunday. When he remains quiet
the feeling in his head does not differ from
its usual condition, but soon as he be-
gins to stir the exertion brings on a sort OF
dizziness. This he expects to disappear in
a day or so.
The second game in Pittsburg Tuesday
was interrupted in a peculiar manner and
there is no rule covering the case In the
thlfd inning bee tried to extract honey
from Still Bill Hilrs head, and for more
than minute Hill was kept busy trying
to drive the annoying insect away from his
face and roof. His wild efforts to get away
and kill the bee with his cap were ludic-
rouS.
Jesse Tannehill will not assist In winning
games for Pittsburg for some days. Tan
nehill was awkward in alighting from a
street car on Monday, and instead of land
ing on his feet, he struck somewhere in the
vicinity of his left shoulder, dislocating the
shoulder blade and causing him great pain
The injured arm was set and now is being
carried in a sling. Tannehill will hardly be
able S~pitch until next week.
For the first time this season the Cincin-
natis had their colors lowered at Pittsburg
Tuesday. After winning the first game
rather easily they lost the second by the
close score of to 2. In that game the Reds
outbatted the Pirates and played an error
less game in the field, yet they were un-
able to score as many runs as the home
team. Old hard luck must have cut a de-
cided swath in that defeat. Think of three
clean singles being made in tie ninth inr-
ing and yet not a run scored. That's what
happened Tuesday. On Elmer Smiths sim
gle to left, in the final inning, Vaughn tried
to score from second base, but was nailed
at the plate with what would have been
the tying run.

Today's Philadelphia Press says of the
two defeats of the Senators yesterday:
Gus weighing, a pitcher with past and
former Philadelphia by adoption, and Bill
ly Donovan, a twirler with a future and a
Quaker cityite by birth, met with reyerses
at Philadelphia yesterday. Both wear the
Senatorial toga and they went down to hon
orable defeat Their eight comrades tried
hard to save the color bearers by hitting
the ball hard, but Philadelphia simply
wouldn't have 1t that way. Then, too, the
Senators. whose batting eyes were as sharp
as so many eagles, upset their work in
this respect with errors that were unusual
ly costly.
Both games were won in the same way,
by the Phillies following up errors on the
part of the visitors with hits. The Sena-
tors lost because the home teams misplays
were fewer in number, and Orth and DON
ahue would not permit safe drives at those
stages. All told, the visitors sent the ball
into safe territory nineteen times, and yet
they could only get two runners home. III
thirteen out of their sixteen turns at bat
they managed to connect safely with the
horsehide. When Orth was doing the toss
ing it was case, usually, of the first man
up getting a base on a hit and the next
trio going out pretty much in order With
Donahue, ordinarily, two were out before
any damage was done to his curves, and
the result was the samoa cipher. w lille
both games were well played, there was lit
tie out of the ordinary to comment upon.
Gettman twice endangered his neck by TAX
ing flies off the wall, Lauder pulled a red
hot liner out of the air, Donovan stopped
couple OF grounders that might have broken
his hand but for the glove it and Cross
handled the middle part of two double
plays in great style.
Both shortstops met with accidents. In the
first game Cross had couple of teeth loos-
ened by coiliding with Mercer in swinging
around for a double play after making a
put out. Monte left considerable of his
blue blood on the ground before he could
continue play.
In this contest Wrigley was again re-
warded with floral remembrance and
in the fifth inning of the second he re-
ceived a knockout blow. AS he was in a
STOPPING position and reaching forward to
grasp Murphy's not grounder, the ball took
an ugly bound and bumped against Zekes
jaw. The smack of the collision could be
heard all over the grounds, and the sailor
fell as if he had received an upper cut from
F1tZs1mmons. 1t was over half a minute
before he recovered consciousness. Fortu-
nately no bones were broken and he pluck
