The Mystery of 1.-TWO Ten"

Baroness Burdette Coutts was once
shopping in Paris, and whenever
she went from one department to an
other she was escorted by a clerk, who
handed her over to another attendant,
saving: 1.-TWO ten" Struck by the
regularity of the oft-repeated caba-
listic words, the baroness asked the
nroprietor as she left the establish.
ment:
"Pray, what does two ten mean ?
T noticed that each clerk repeated il
to the next as 1 went from one counter
to the other"
ooh, it is nothing" replied the man
SIT is Just a password they are in the
habit Of exchanging" But the baron
ess was not satisfied. When the por
ter. a mere lad, brought home hel
purchase, she said to him:
"My boy, would you like to carr
| Eve francs?" OF course he would b'
charmed.
.Then tell me what two ten means
and I will give you five francs" Tit
youth looked at her in establishment.
Don't you know, madam? Why, i
means: Keep your eyes on her tel
fngers!'" -.
That solved the mystery. The rich

collars are worn low on the shoulder
and give rather a sloping effect, with
an inner vest of tucked lawn and lace
to correspond. The popularity of the

wane, and just now it is the proper

FINED AND SUSPENDED.

First Baseman Hart Punished for At
tackfng Umpire Haskell.
President Johnson of the American
League announced at Chicago yesterday
the indefinite suspension of First Baseman
Hart of the Baltimore team for his action
Monday in striking Umpire Haskell during
the game played with Boston. He will also
be assessed heavy fine.
President Johnson says that the suspen-
sion Of Hart will not weaken the Baltimore
club at all and any trouble McGraw raises
over 1t will not be listened to. The attack
OF Hart on Haskell is the first Of this ma
ture in the American League this season
"Such actions cannot be countenanced in
this league, and every ball player who at
tempts them will be punished" says Presf-
dent johnson.
II do not want to weaken McGraw's club
any more than any other club, but when a
ball player strikes an umpire in the face
Donlin can go to first and Jackson to the
outf1eld, so the club will not be materially
weakened. The offense is too serious not
to receive severe punishment. and any
trouble McGraw may raise over it will not
be tolerated. Whether the umpire was
right or wrong makes no difference, no
ball player has any right to lay hand on
the umpire, and will not In this league If
fines and suspensions can keep him from
doing 1T. II that won't do there are still
more stringent measures that can be taken.

PEACE NOT LIKELY.
Summing Up of the Base Ball Situation
by q Pittsburg Writer.

Summing Up of the Base Ball situation
by a Pittsburg Writer.
From the Pittsburg Press.
Peace in the base ball world is farther
off than ever. In fact, 1t begins to look as
If the real war was yet to come. The
American League promises to play trump
card. AS yet but an intimation has been
given Of what the rival organizations
plans are. for the broad announcement
alcne has been made that clubs would be
placed in New York, Pittsburg and ST.
Louis next season. Were the name Of the
man who Is to be at the head Of the pro-
posed New York club given out 1t might
create a sensation, for it is rumored that
1t Is no less a parsonage than Andrew
Freedman, president of the New York Ma
tional League club.
1t Is hardly possible that the American
League would go into New York to fight
Freedman not because of his popularity
with the base ball public, but because his
political power is to be feared. Yet the
American League has never made prom
iss that it has not fulfilled, and it must be
taken for granted that club will be estab-
lished in New York next season. Put two
and two together, and it can be seen that
the jumping of Freedman to the American
League Is by no means out Of the question.
In the first place, the ten-year agreement
which binds the National League will ex-
pire at the end Of this year. That makes
Freedman a free man, to go where he
pleases. There would be little danger per-
haps, OF his leaving the old organization
If harmony existed between him and his
partners, but such is not the case. For
years Freedman has placed himself on rec
ord that the National League was rotten
to the core. He has criticised it's policy
and openly abused its members and it's
president, but It is only during the past
year that he has gained point or two in
the councils Of the league. Doesn't it look
natural for a man like Freedman to seek
revenge? And he could get 1t by just step
ping into the American League, for, with
q club In New York, the new organization
would virtually be breaking the back of its
rival, which would be forced out Of the
metropolis.
Such a move would be the making of the
American League and the ruination of the
National League. American League clubs
in Pittsburg and st. Louis might have a
hard fight, yet II Kerr were at the head
of the former club and 1t played 25-cent
ball 1t would unquestionably be popular.
It has been limited. however, that Barney
Dreyfus, one Of the wisest of the magnates,
has successfully blocked all roads leading
into Pittsburg against the American
League. This may be true, yet 1t is said
that the new league has site selected.
Be that as 1t may, certain 1t Is that there
will be much doing In this war this winter.
