The PhiIadelphia Teams Work.

The Phillies, despite an occasional
unavoidable slip-up, are playing great
ball in every department. Their bat
ting is not only phenomenally heavy,
but all playing together for runs in
the most approved fashion. Their
fielding is fast and accurate. If there
is room for improvement anywhere it
is in base running, wherein the boys
are showing too much timfdity. The
exchange of positions between Cooley
and Thomas has proved a grand sue
cess. Cooley plays first base like a
veteran, thus keying up the infield.
while Thomas supplies all that Cooley
lacked as an outfelder, thus making
the Philadelphia outfield unquestion-
ably the greatest in the league The
exchange of batting positions between
Cooley and Thomas has not worked so
well, which is not surprising, consid-
ering there was no very good reason
for making it. If shift in the bat
ting was necessary, Manager Shetts-
line might have commenced by boost
ing Cross, who is hitting we'll, up
peg or two; and furthermore by keep
ing Mcfarland, who is batting way
above 800, behind the bat steadily so
long as he keeps up such a batting
gait.

Pace-Making and HypnOtism.


A German writer invites the atten-
ton of men of science to the physical
phenomena attendant on certain forms
of sport, and more especially on cy-
cling, says the London Chronicle. One
problem for which it is difficult to find
a solution arises from the employment
of pacemakers in attempts to establish
a record. Two first-rate flyers racing
against one another will hardly differ
by a second in a 1000 yards run, but
give one Of them a pacemaker, and he
will-according to the calculation of
the German writer-distance his rival
by a quarter of a minute. Further
more, almost exactly the same effect
is produced in the trials of horses, and
in their case must be due entirely to
physical causes.
The writer suggests that hypnotism
responsible for so much in these lat
ter days-can alone give a reasonable
explanation of the phenomenon, and
this view seems supported by the fact
that the nearer the pacemaker's ma
chine is to that of the man behind him,
the more effective is his aid, the latter
striving always to cover the inch or
two between his wheel and, the one in
front.

that quest is fruitless.

win will now play utility role.
Johnny MCCARTHY is not hitting in as
good form as he did two weeks ago.
Mccarthy is easily discouraged, espe-
cially when with losing team.
The Chicago players still wear those
long bath robes which were first in
troduced by Uncle Arson. The team
also travels to and from the grounds
in open carriages, a feature introduced
by Arson.
Washfngton's return Of Catcher Hey

only loaned to the Senators by Brook
Ign. 'Tis whispered that the same ar

Browning, now out of baseball has
become ambitious of political honors
and is now working for the Republican

A rumor is in circulation among
base ball men that John B. Day will
soon be removed from the manage
ment of the New Yorks by Mr. Freed
man. Day said in st. Louis that he
knew nothing about any such move.
Even the stanchest Arson men in
Chicago are now friends and admirers
of Tom Burns, the man who has made
a winning team after Arson failed for
years to achieve more than mediocre
results. Truly, nothing succeeds like
success.
The wife and children Of the late
William McGunnigle are said to be in

Close Score Defeats.

Losses by one run are evidences of
class rather than streaks of blind luck"
according to Joe Kelley. when
team gets beaten repeatedly by one
tally, as did the Colonies and Senators
one season, they simply show their in
ability to overcome the critical situa-
ton that confronts them as the result
Of needing one run. That at least has
been my idea, and if you will look over
the records of the major league teams
for the past ten years you VIII find
that the teams beaten by one or two
runs repeatedly were the second divi-
sion mines, or absolute tail-enders."

Baseball Parties.

Baseball parties were unheard of in
st. Louis until this season. The socie-
ty columns Of the daily papers now
chronicle these functions, giving the
name of the host and hostess and
their guests, all of which appear in the
Blue Book. None of these ladies ever
visited Sportsman'S park prior to 1899,
and many of their escorts find it diff
cult to recall when they had witnessed
a ball game on the local grounds be-
fore this season. This class of patron
age must be catered to to be retained
and increased. Clean ball, free from
personalities and rowdyism, will soon
build up a splendid week day patron
age at League park. The Sunday
crowd can be depended on, and Presi-
dent Robson and his associates should
make a special effort to make the
games unobjectionable to the most
Puritanical. Baseball has become at
tractive to society folks; it will be-
come a fad if conducted in accordance
with the rules of the game and up to
high standard Of propriety by the
players.

No Charge for Admission.

"To catch boa constructor is a diff
cult and dangerous task" says a man
who makes it his business to capture
wild animals and reptiles for mena-
gerie purposes.
Briefly, he continues, it is accom-
plished by means of a 1abyrinthian
tangle, embracing sixty square feet Of
ground. The labyrinth is made by
joining together, end on end, pieces Of
mating.
This web is eight feet high, usually,
and placed so that the opposing walls
will be two feet apart. All sorts Of
curious and diverging combinations
are made with the matting-it is sup
ported here and there by stakes-mak-
ing, when it is set, a geometrical puz-
zle that might well challenge the in
genuity Of man.
The trap is baited in the center Of
the labyrinth. By and by along comes
the boa constructor. It is easy enough
to get in. He scents the prey; he is
very hungry; the bait is devoured, and
here the boa comes to grief.
For hours he tries to release him
self from the tortuoNs passages which
rise about him, but finally he grows
tired and stretches himself out for a
nap. Then we open the labyrinth and
catch him.

Going to Cuba.

Kid Gleason will be a member of the
oft-Callahan-Griffin Cuba combi-
nation next fall. He also told Bannie
that McGraw of the Ba1timores, and
Kelley Of the Brooklyns, would be glad
to make the trip. 1t is likely that both
these players will be added. "Now, I
want two catchers," said Manager Ban
croft. 'I want catchers that know
something about playing first base, for
they will have to alternate between
first and behind the bat. Nine players
are all that will take to Cuba. There
is no use to increase the expenses by
carrying any extra men. 1t will be a
case of every player in the game every
day. By. having only nine men the
receipts will not have to be cut up
too many ways. This is a cooperative
snap. We pay the expenses and then
share the profits equally"

Climate and Complexion.

1t has long been known that climate
alone is not sufficient to account for a
colored people, says the London Globe.
Dark skins are by no means confined
to the tropics, they are to be found in
races even beyond the temperate zone.
This diversity according to a writer
in one of the American magazines, can
only be accounted for by considering
the different modes of life that have
acted for centuries upon the various
classes and castles of the country. The
coolie who works in the fields with
a strip of cotton cloth about his loins
is very dark; the merchant and trader
who never go abroad without being
thoroughly clothed are many degrees
fairer. 1t is said that colony Of Jews
on the west coast of InGla has been
established for nearly eighteen CEN
turtles but because they have not fol-
lowed the habits Of the people as re-
CARDS clothing, they remain to this day
white people.
On the other hand, the Aryan popu-
1ations of India and Persia, originally
a fair people, by adopting the customs
of those countries, have become, in
great measure, a colored race. Accord
ingly, it is argued that the steady
march of nature is toward the evolu-
ton Of fair people all over the world.
The layer of dark pigment beneath the
cuticle prevents the skin from blister
ing, and when proper clothing renders
this safeguard unnecessary, nature dis
penses with it altogether. 1t is also
limited that color has something to do
with the mental and intellectual con-
ditions of people, but into these ques-
lions the writer wisely forbears to en-
ter

One of Bucks Mistakes.

Had Ewing been a judge of young
ball player, says J. Ed. Grillo, Elmer
Flick, the hard-hitting and excellent
young right fielder of the Philadelphia
team, would now be a member of the
Reds. Ewing saw Flick play year be-
fore last, while he was a member of
the Dayton, Ohio, team. Flick had
been recommended to Ewing, but after
Buck saw him play he declared that
Flick would not be able to hold his
own with a National League team
more than ten minutes. Flick's work
with the Phillies last season and this
have marked him as one of the best
young players in the league.

Birth Rate In European Countries.


Zola's new book written in exile, is
being published in serial form in Paris.
1t deals with the decline in the birth
rate in France. People have become
SO accustomed to moralize upon the
decrease of population in France that
it has escaped notice that what is hap
pening there Is taking place in every
European country from which vital
statistics are forthcoming, except Swift
Zerland. Even Great Britain shows a
falling off. In 1886 the births were
Bis per thousand of the population, in
1897 they were only at the rate of 29.1.
Ireland alone of the British Isles shows
an increase, and that is only fraction
al from 1872 to 23.5. France-in spite
of all that has been said-has only va
ried from 1913 per 1000 in 1886 to 22.4
per thousand in 1897. Still, it is the
lowest birth rate in Europe, and made
to look very small beside the tremen-
dous figures Of Hungary, where there
are still 40 children per 1000 born, al
though ten years ago the rate was as
high as 45.6. Germany seems to be
keeping up her birth rate very con-
sistently, for in ten years the drop has
not been more than fractional. Swift
zerland-the bright and particular ex-
ception has gone up in the ten years
from % per 1000 to 29.2.

A Fight for Food.

More than half a century ago Sun
day was kept very strictly in the zoo;
at least with many of the animals the
day was a day of fasting. It is not SO
now; but how many Of the folk who
behold the feeding of the lions know,
how many of the animals themselves
know, that they owe this more humane
treatment to the elephant Jack" who
was favorite figure in the Gardens
till his death in June, 1847? Some peo-
pie when they have a grievance go on
strike, others go Gin their thousands"
to Hyde Park, but that was not Jacks
way. Long had he pondered the old
wise saying, eff you want thing done,
you must do it yourself" When, then,
he found that he was expected to feel
happy and. contented all Sunday with
nothing but a light breakfast, he rea-
soned the thing out and came to the
conclusion that, in these circumstances
life was not worth living. He resolved
therefore to make a bold stand for his
rights, and for two or three Sunday
nights running he made such a noise
his keepers had little rest. This, how
ever, not bringing him more victuals,
he proceeded to adopt stronger meas
ures, finding, oddly enough, in oppo-
sition to that great statesman, Mr..
Bright, that force was a remedy. On
the fourth Sunday he smashed the
door, and would have done other dam
age to his cell had the keepers not
risen in the middle Of the night and
fed him. Ever after he had full meals

league pitcher. His 1899 record does
not give a true line on his ability as
pitcher. He has won only three
games in eleven, but poor support was
the prime factor in most Of the defeats
charged to him. His best pitching feat
of the year was the twelve-inning tie
game he twirled against Cincinnati in
April. Lever has taught six terms of

Costume of a japanese Nurse.

Mrs. Hugh Fraser, in a recent vol
ume of "reminiscences, gives a quaint
pen picture of trained nurse who
cared for her in Japan. says the New
York Mail and Express.
"She was barely four feet high"
writes Mrs. Fraser, her complexion
was dark, her feet were encased in
white linen socks, with divided toes,
and shod with dainty straw sandals
with green velvet straps.
Her figure, the shape of a very soft
feather pillow, was draped in a tight
fitting white apron with a large bib,
and she was kept inside her buttonless
and stringless clothes by cruelty tight
and wide leather belt put on over apron
and all. Into this belt, holding her
breath for a long time first, she could
with great effort push her fat silver
watch, her clinical thermometer, two
or three yards of Japanese letter
(Which she would read a foot at
time when she thought 1 was asleep,
and the relentless little register in
which she noted down, from right to
left, cabalistic signs with which she
and the doctor conjured every morn

and temperature had been committing.

able Tiger Miss-but her ways were

purred on a domestic hearth rug; and
oh, what a nurse she was! So gentle,
so smiling, so delightfully."- sorry for

A Pitchers Career.

Dec. %, 1872, at Goshen, Ohio, where
while a youth he made quite a reputa-

first professional engagement was with
the GAINESVILLE (Tenn0 team in 1891.
During the succeeding seasons he was
member of the Maysville Ky0 club.
His excellent work attracted the atten-

signed Lever for 1897. At the close
Of that year he was purchased by the
