BASE BALL IN CUBA.
"Billy'' Earle Making Fine Players
Out of the Natives.

A letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer from
Havana, Cuba, gives some interesting de-
tails of the progress and methods of the
national game In that island. Following Is
an extract showing the success of an old
player who went there as coach:
Billy Earle, who used to be catcher for
the Cincinnati Reds, Is drawing big sal
AIRY here as coach of the Almendares team,
and he has brought about big improve
ment in the Almendares' play. 1 went out
to the Almendares' practice park one day
to acquaint myself with Billys methodist
After a while L noticed man In the left
field gesticulating violently. I asked if he
was practicing signals for some kind of a
team play.
Signals" said Billy. Nah. he's talk
Unjust talkin'. You take one O. these
guys an tie his hands behind his back an
he couldn't tell you his name. I'm gettin'
this team into pretty good shape, but it's
been tough pullin'. They're good feeders,
but most of EN- hat like they was
KILN mosquitoes with it. Awful hard to
get EN- to stand up to the plate. They all
step back when tn pitcher delivers tn ball.
An it's an awful handicap to a coach when
he's got to try to tell 'em when they're
wrong in Spanish. You can't seem to throw
any vigor into it, you know.
THE vigor's all used up in Spanish
People are used to it an don't pay any
attention to it. You can hear remarks in
any game of ball here that would start a
riot in the states. These fellows will make
awful good players when they git Ameri-
can methods drilled into EN-. American
methods are what they need, an they need
EN- bad. Just to show you, l translate
my old gag about your shoe strings loose
into Spanish an give it to my catcher. We
won game on that gag an nothin' else.
IF I'd go back to the states l suppose
I'd be has-been, but here I'm a wonder
with a new trademark an tinfoil stickin
to me. The only trouble 1 have Joachim
is to keep from making mistakes. There 8
that gesture they've got here which means
come on or come here It's like this
just the same as the gesture you use In
the states when you mean stay there or
go back. l give that to fellow when
wanted to hold him on second the other
day in a big game and he came on like
someone had tied can to him. Surprised
the other crowd so much that they got rat
tied an let him score They threw about
$50 at him, an the directors told me to
take new hat on 'em. l threw out my
chest an said nothin'. I'm not putin up
any bars just now when luck Is comm
down TIL lane. I've had lessons, nv bow,

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
HAMPTON, Va, April 19.-Another rainy
morning kept the Senators indoors practice
being out of the question, but as there
were signs of clear sky in the afternoon
the game with the battery team was not
declared off. Whist and pedro were re-
sorted to by some Of the players, while
others went to the billiard hall maintained
by the home and enjoyed few games with
the worries.
Captain Everett says Carrick and Lee
will doubtless do the pitching in the game
with Georgetown tomorrow, with Mercer
and Gear to do duty Monday against the
collegians.
Three of the pitchers Will work this
afternoon, the weather permitting. The
cold and wet weather has put the men
back to some extent but if 1t warns up
during the next three days they hope to
appear in the first game of the champion
ship season in fair condition.

The Senatorial aggregation, which has

will leave that place for Washington to-
night and should arrive here tomorrow
morning. Manager Manning will probably
take the men out to the Georgetown

for limbering up practice, so that they
will be in frst-class shape for the game in
the afternoon with the blue and gray boys.
Several National League teams have been
defeated this spring by college clubs, and
Captain Everett is fully aware that he has
a stiff struggle ahead of him tomorrow af-

4:3O so as to allow the local enthusiasts
in the government service time to reach
the grounds. The two teams will probably

Michael A. Grady, who will divide the
catching department honors of the WASH

Clarke, made his base ball reputation with
the Philadelphia team several years ago.
He has always been considered a frst-clas
batter and strong thrower from behind
the bat. Grady's pugnacious spirits were
not congenial to the other players in the
Quaker aggregation, and he was released
to the St. Louis team. From that team he
was sold to the New York club and for the

cred by Grady his home position, there is
not place on the in or outfield that he
cannot fill with more than the usual abiI-
ity. AS first baseman he has done par
ticularly well, and, in fact, he has been
pushed into the game very frequently on
account of his hitting. replacing men who
were doubtless better f1elders, but weak
hitters. The congenial company Grady is
with this season should help his work ma

Lewis Joins American League.

The Boston American League club has
received another accession in the pitchers
department in the person of the we'll
known player. Edward NJ Lewis, who has
been member of the Boston National
League team since 1896. year ago Lewis
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1901-04-19

announced that he was Though with base
ball, owing to his studies. but was induced
to append his name to a contract and
this year that he had made such arrange
ments concerning his profession of teach
ing that he would not PLAY bali any more.
This was considered as final.
The American League people of Boston
have had several interviews with Lewis,
and the result was that be finally gave his
consent to play with their club, though he
cannot join it until the beginning Of May.
Last season Lewis pitched in twenty-seven
games and won 80 per cent of them. In
those games he hit but. four batsmen. and
eighty-three bases on balls were given by
him. The percentage of runs off him was
4.22 and in this respect he ranked sixth
in the National League.
When seen in Boston yesterday Lewis
acknowledged that he had agreed to give
his services to the American League club.
He said he would write to Director Conant
nouncing his intention to play ball, as he
promised to do IL he changed his mind
about playing ball. He expressed himself
as well pleased with his treatment while
and had only the most kindly feelings to-
ward his former employers and associates,
but considered he had perfect right to
sever his old connections and form new
ones and it was for that reason he took
the present step.
National League Season Opens.
The National League made an inauspi-
cious start yesterday, it's opening day, as
only one game was played on account of
rain or wet grounds. The game was played
at Philadelphia between the home team
and Brooklyn, the latter winning out easi-
iy by the score of IL to 7. The feature of
the game was Sheckards batting who
hammered out three terrific triples Jim
Mcclure also made a triple. The weather
was raw and uncomfortable, and but 1850
persons were present at against nearly
IA, 600 on the opening day last season.
At st. Louis wet grounds prevented the
home team playing Chicago; at Cincinnati
rain kept the Reds away from the Pitts
burg Pirates, and wet grounds in New
York kept the Boston and Giants from
playing.

NUTS AND KERNELS.
covered BY Cookery Tsash-
sss' AssOciatiOn.

The citizens of the metropolis do
not know the obligations they are
under to a group of talented profess
sional women who are united in the
organization known as the New York
Association of Teachers of Cookery.
The members are not only excellent
chefs. but they are students, and some
Of them masters of physiology and
chemistry. Besides endeavoring to
inculcate better culinary methods,
they do much toward improving the
quality of the food served upon the
daily table. says the New York Post.
The founder of the society. wom-
an, is an expert in physiological chem
istry. and has done much toward the
creation of nutritious dishes made of
various edible nuts and kernels. She
believes that these substances have
been overlooked and that they are
superior to nearly all the vegetable
fruits and even cereals 80 far as
health and enjoyment of life are
concerned. In her demonstrations
she employs almonds, peanuts. pecan
nuts, Brazil nuts, hlberts, hickory
nuts, walnuts, chestnuts, hazlenuts,
chinquapins, peach and cherry pits,
and even butternuts. She has invent
ed recipes for making these into con-
fections, cakes, puddings. salads
breads, soups and side dishes. She
was the first to point out that the
Chinese custom of eating watermelon
seeds, so often laughed at by travel
ers, has a sound hygienic basis, and
that the contents of these little seeds
contained more nutriment than all
the watery flesh of the melon. Her
latest suggestion is that Of the dry
ing of nuts and kernels, the removal
of the thin containing skin which is
found inside the shell and the grind
ing of the meat into meal or -four.
