CHIEF of UMPIREs.
That, 1t Is Said, Is What Arson VIII
Become.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Ex-Capt Arson will
be chief of the National league umpires this
year. This news, given by a base ball au-
thority, clears up the mystery attached to
the veterans future. 1t has been surmised
before, but yesterday was the first time that
It became known from anything like an au-
thentic source
The story was secured in a downtown res
taurant. Two men, one of them a prominent
Western Lacquer, were the ones who discussed
the matter.
Yes" the Western Lacquer said. for a.
time | thought was going to get Arson
But this morning he turned me down. I
spent some time at his home, trying to In
duce him to change his mind, but to no avail
Don't think he said to me- that be-

the last of the month. The schedule commits

b arranged then. You can probably guess
what that would be-
That was all Arson said to me about the
matter" continued the speaker, "but he said
enough to let me know how the land lies. OF
course, he alluded to nothing else than the
umpire proposition, and it was easy enough
to see from what he said that he had been
offered the position, and had practically ac-
eepted it,

The intention of the Minneapolis club to
play for the Merriam medal on Monday and
tuesday next has disarranged all the plans
or the st. Paul club for Tuesday, when 1t was
intended they should play for the Mitchell
trophy.
The Merriam medal, according to the rules
was always to be played for in st. Paul, but
by constant of the executive committee 1t
was allowed to go outside this year and to
Minneapolis. Last year Minneapolis sent five
Kinks to st. Paul to contest for it, but the rule
says that only two Kinks from each club shall
be allowed to participate. 1t was the intention
OF the st. Paul club to send three Kinks to
Minneapolis, but the town up the river is in
clined to apply the two-rink rule so that quite
a little dissatisfaction exists here.
Duluth will send down two Kinks to contest
Ter the Merriam medal, and the contest will
no doubt be hot one. 1t will open at the
curling rink at Minneapolis Monday night
next and continue all day Tuesday

WHITE STOCKINGS ARE TO GO.
The Chicago Club VIII Not Wear
Them This Year.


CHICAGO Feb. 16-The Tribune says
Those famous white stockings to go. From
the time that the yell of the bleacherite re-
echoed back to the contrary of the umpire's
decision these colors have been distinguish
ing feature of the Chicago club. The name
white Stockings" has been synonymous
with "Chicagos." 1t cast terror into the soul
of the mid-mannered Boston fan away
back in the seventies. 1t enough to pro-
duSa a stampede the polo grounds almost
any time during the eighties. 1t has been
mildly awe-inspiring at Louisville, and ST.
Louis and Pittsburg during the nineties But
1t must go. So President Hart intimated yes
terday.
In speaking of changing the uniforms yes
terday President Hart declared: The club
ought to be neatly and tastefully attired in
well-ftting clothes. Appearance is half of
the game with the average crank. The club
that comes upon the field as If It was pre-
pared for battle has the sympathies of the
crowd The Chicago club uniform has been
neglected, and should be touched up. The
white stockings are unsightly after couple
of games. The men come up looking dirty
and some in various colored suits. l believe
in the men being dressed we'll, in well-ftting
clothes. colored tastefully."
Jimmy Ryan, who was present during the
conversation, advocated the abolition Of the
white stockings, and offered as a substitute
white and Yale gray, trimmed with blue.

Success in home dyelng depends
wholly upon the kind of dyes used.
With Diamond Dyes, if the simple di-
rections on the package are followed
carefully and the special dyes for cot
ton are used for cotton and mixed
goods, and the wool dyes used for
wooden. there is absolutely no chance
of failure.
Diamond Dyes are very simple and
easy to use, and by using a stick to
lift the goods while in the dye bath,
there is no need of soiling the hands.
For beauty, birlliancy and fastness, no
other dye stuffs. whether for home use
or for the dye shop, equal the Diamond.
The latest scientific discoveries are
used in their manufacture, they are
guaranteed the strongest and fastest
of all known dyes. and their solid col
ors will not wash out in the strongest
soap suds, nor will they fade when
exposed to the sunlight.
Try Diamond Dyes once, and see how
easy 1T is to make old and faded
dresses, waists, ribbons, coats, etc,
look like new.
