More Mixed Metaphors.

To Lord R~osebery's famous spade
and wind" metaphor may be added two
or three lapses, not all Of which are
mixed metaphors, perpetrated by Lord
Londonderry. In 1896 Lord London
derry threw the house of lords into
roars of laughter during the debate on
the second reading of the Irish land
bill by ~gravely declaring that ""This is
the reason why you have failed to set
tie the Irish land question in the future
as o have done in the past" In the
course of the same speech he concluded
a period with, "This is the keystone of
the bill, are you going to kill it?" Bet

For the present a pronounced change
has come yer the situation in the Ma
tional League of Baseball Clubs. While
1t WIS asserted positively six weeks ago
that 40 settlement of the fractional dis
pute could be made except on terms of
unconditional surrender, there is now
a m'ld leaning toward a compromise,
and ultimately a club in one faction
or the other may swing into line in
support of a man who shall be accept
able as chief executive of the organiza-
tiol.
Notwithstanding the statement that
the factions might go along as four
Clue leagues, it can be asserted posi-
lively that two clubs least suspected Of
ha ring any desire to adjust the Difficult
ties are opposed utterly to the four
club idea and will be satisfied to let
the differences be settled by the first
decision of the court or by arbitration
II necessary. One of these clubs is a
member of oneifaction and the second
belongs to the other group of four.
The owners of both are not pleased
with the idea of playing on a four-club
schedule, realizing that financial loss
stares them in the face the moment
they attempt it.
In an interview A. H. Soden, the Bos-
ton president, says: I'VE want a de-
cision from the court. l am perfectly
willing to leave the question of the le-
gality of Mr.. S~palding's election to
three business men, or three lawyers,
for that matter.
If the matter is not settled by the
time 1t becomes necessary to have a
schedule the clubs will have to get to-
gether somehow. Anyone could take
the initiative. / could write to Messrs.
Reach and Rogers, Ebbets, Abel, Han

All Have Strong Teams.

It's a toss-up which has the strong
est teams in the American League, as
between Boston, Chicago, Baltimore,
st. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit.
Washington and Cleveland have little
or no chance with the first four named.
Boston has strengthened at least %
per cent, in fielding and hitting, as
well as department, a factor that gave
the Boston team a setback last season,
but will not this as Captain Collins got
rid of the trouble-makers. The team
has the finest pair of catchers in the
profession, the greatest pair of pitch
ers, for both brilliant work and stay
ing qualities. Can you imagine finer
batteries than Cy Young and Louis
Criger, Billy Dineen and Jack War

agree that the alterations which were
made in it under the directions of Mr.
Strickland follow out closely and har-
monte well with the ideas of its colo
NAL builders.
When the city of Philadelphia u
chased 200 acres of land on the wess
of the |Schuylkill river for the purpose
OF erecting thereon an almshouse fol
the city poor, Mr.. Strickland was called
upon for designs for the building. He
planned four distinct structures, dis.
posed at right angles with each other
and ~inclosing an interior space of zoo
by 500 feet. The mems almshouse
fronts the southeast. The main build
ing contains a portico ninety feet in
front, supported by eight columns,
eight feet in diameter at the base and
thirty feet in height, on the Tuscan or
der of architecture, built of brick and
rough cast. The building is 1anked by
two wings, each 200 feet in length, the
portico being elevated on a high flight
OF steps rising before the basement
story to those of the upper story, and
thus giving to this group of buildings
a commanding appearance. The aims
house was first occupied about the year
l835.-Philadelphia Times.

The FouI-strIke Rule.

President James A. Hart of the Chi
cago National League team admitted
that the "foul-strike" rule adopted at
the recent conference of baseball men
in Buffalo is far from being fawless.
Right on the heels of the admission
Hart made the remarkable statement
that he believed that before the COM
ing playing season was a month old
the various club owners would reject
this latest bit of legislation and play
out the season under the old foul
strike" rule which prevailed in the Ma
tional league last year. In brief, Mr..
Hart, with refreshing frankness ack-
n~owledged that he pushed through a
bad rule in order to keep his ~favorite
'foul-strike' on the baseball statute
book.

DRAFTED TEMPLE OF mYssUs. NEAR ATHENS

makes the above question particularly
pertinent and one to be seriously con-
sidered if the Quaker City would not
lose all its Greek architecture.
There are but few of S%trickland's
works now remaining in a good state
of preservation in Philadelphia, and
n of these is now undergoing great
changes, while others are menaced with
Immediate destruction.
Mr.. Strickland's architecture is in
teresting in many respects, not only
because 1t is perhaps the best example
Of Greek architecture to be found in
the country, but also because he was
the first American to demonstrate that
1t was not necessary for the New World
to employ foreign-born talent to erect
buildings of classic design.
Mr.. Strickland's most important
work in Philadelphia was the design.
for the United States bank, now the
Custom House, which is acknowledged
by ell lovers of Greek architecture to-
day, after an existence of over fifty
years, to be one of the handsomest and
most classic buildings in the city.
This piece of Strickland's work re-
sembles the Parthenon, although in
general dimensions 1t is smaller than
the latter building. There are eight
fiuted columns supporting the portico
of the front entrance and the same
number to the rear entrance of the
aCustom House, each t~wenty-seven feet
high, by four feet six inches In dame
ter.
A curious fact is that Mr.. Strickland
not only designed the present Custom
House, but also drew the plans for the
first Federal building used for a custom
house in Philadelphia. This building
was opened on July IL. 1919. 1t was
without architectural pretensions, but
the business of the Philadelphia Gus
tom House was carried on there until

Rules Are Conflicting.

American league clubs will play under
the same rules as last season, and the
code will be published in a special
guide Issued by the organization. This
statement was made by President Bar
Johnson, who has apparently decided
to arbitrarily settle the rule question
for the league himself and disregard
entirely the work of his committee at
Buffalo.
This ultimatum makes impossible
any second session of the Joint rules
committees and indicates that there
will be another conflict in the playing
rules of the two big leagues throughout
the season of 1902.
1t is quite certain that the "Spalding
four" at least will play under the foul
strike rule in force in the National
league last season, and in the event of
any compromise between the two Ma
ttonal league factions the entire organ
ization will probably use this code.
With the major leagues divided, the
minors will again be left to choose be-
tween the two codes and another wear

sized up the situation.
