AN lVY-CLAD COTTAGE.

In little country town in Iowa, on
the banks of small river, stands the
house I most admire. It is painted white,
with green blinds. From the front porch
one may see the beautiful woods and fields,
and from the back porch nothing but
woods; this porch is covered with ivy.
There are also two tall pine trees and
large oak trees near the path which leads
to the dusty road.
The pantry is very large and has
two large cupboards built into it. The
kitchen is another large room, with a
window ON one side, which looks down
upon the little river flowing through the
town. On the other side Of the room is
a door opening upon the back porch. Then
comes the dining-room, and this opens
upon both porches. There are three
large bedrooms and large parlor
should like to have my ideal house like
this because it is old style and is also
like my grandmother's house.

WILL CHANGE GATES
MAIN ENTRANCE To LEXING-
TON PARK
NEW TICKETS WILL BE USED
This Season Grand Stand Patrons
Will Only Pass One Gatekeeper
Grounds Soon Ready
for Opening.

Next week Lexington park will be
turned over to the carpenters, and when
the men who work with the saw and
hammer are through the big ball park
will be ready for the new tickets ordered
by the American association at the Chi
cagO meeting.
In the good old days Of the Western
league system was word missing from
the magnates records. Every club in
the circuit had a ball park and a ticket
office, and each club pushed through the
window of it's ticket Office tickets that.
according to the local magnate, were the
best ever.
One town boosted Of the big paste
boards similar to the yellow slips sold
from the big ticket wagons with the cir
Gus. Another club had a book system,
and still another town utilized the strip
ticket. AL this made the work of count
ing the gate a thankless task.
AT the Chicago meeting Of the Hickey
league the magnates voted to adopt a uni
form style of ticket. The ticket adopted
as the official ticket was the big paste
board
The st. Paul management voted for
this change, although Lennon and Kel-
ley knew that in doing so it would be
necessary for them to change the en-
frances to Lexington park
Last season the fans-grand stand and
bleacher patrons-all entered the main en-
trance. Then the grandstand patrons pre-
scented another ticket when they reached
the entrance to the grandstand With the
new system of tickets this is all made
impossible.
With the new tickets there can be just
one main entrance and next week the
carpenters start to make the alterations
The main gates of last season win be re-
moved and a high fence Will be built
from the gates of last year to the en-
trance of the grandstand.
The entrance to the grandstand will
become the main entrance to the ball
park. Two gates will be built at the bot
tom Of the stairs. One gate will adj
nit to the bIeachers. The Lexington
avenue gate will be thrown open as in
former years, but only bleacher patrons
viii be admitted through this gate.
Prior to leaving for the South Manager
Kelley Inspected the grounds at Licking
ton and ordered much repairing done.
This work is now going on under the
direction Of the groundkeeper.

WHITE SOX' CLOSE CALL
THREE CHICAGO PLAYERS ALMOST
RUN DOWN BY TRAIN.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo-, April g.
The feature of the White Stockings eX-
perienCe at their mixing quarters yester-
day was furnished by Callahan, II. Nc
Farland and GarVin, and but for their
agility a Wabash railway train might
have robbed Comiskey of three Of his star
bail tOssers.
All the players INDUCED in a twelve
mile jaunt over the hills this morning,
and during the journey CAL" Mac" and
Garvin were caught on a narrow railway
bridge two miles from town just as the
train approached. The bridge was near
~ 100 yards long, and, as the train sud
denly appeared around a curve the men
had no time to get across the struc-
ture, and for a moment their predica-
ment, which was viewed by the most
of the other players, who were ahead,
looked dangerous indeed. On Mcfarland $
suggestion, however, the players climbed
down on the riders supporting the bridge,
and there they were compelled to cling
while the train passed over them. Then
the other players came to their rescue
and helped them over the bridge.
But for their presence Of mind the play
ers would undoubtedly have at least suf-
fered broken limbs if not something
worse They would have been compelled
TO Jump in order to escape the train, and
as the bottom of the ravine which the
bridge spanned was at least forty feet
below the consequences would certainly
have been serious 1T was the narrow
est escape l have ever had" said Jim
Callahan, land l don't care for another
such experience

SELEE MADE THEM WORK
ORPHAN CANDIDATES DID NOT
COME IN OUT OF WET.

CHAMPAIGN, April San illustration
Of the way Selee is going TO manage his
men was afforded Saturday when lie sat
on the bench throughout the rain, and
never made move or limited hat the
game should stop on account of the show
er. Umbrellas were raised on The
bleachers, and the hard shaver pene-
trated the thick clothing of the players
and dampened the ardor OF the specta-
tors. Still Selee sat with lis overcCat
collar turned up, without an umbrella,
and altogether acting as if 1t wee bright
sunshine. Apparently he favors inuring
his men to hard weather from The start.
The competition for places is making
both infeld and outfeld work, for all
the men realize that the wee1ing-out
process will get them if they dong satch
out.
Glade apparently is a find. After he
had pitched the full nine innings in the
wet Saturday Selee told him to le+ the
masseur give his arm a good, hard mas
sage. 81 never had a massage in my
life" said the husky youngster, .'aE

agreed that if he had become 50 pro

be as well not to begin at this late

fight. Yesterday afternoon Robson re-
turned from New York, where ne has
been attending the meeting of the Ma
tiOnal league, and will go to st. Louis
Wednesday noon, where he will begin
proceedings against his star players. Out
fielder Heidrick, Third Baseman Wallace
and Pitcher Harper will be served with
papers, and it is possible that Padden,
Burkett and others who have jumped to
McAleer's team may also be served with
papers. Mr.. Robson stated positively
yesterday that he would begin proceed
ings against the three first named players
at least.
Wallace and Heidrick signed a contract
with a clause which stood for two years.
and Harper is also under contract to the
st. Louis National club. The baseball
magnate further stated that there will
be no more trouble in the ranks Of the
organization.
When asked whether there was any
truth in the statement that a $780, 900
fund was raised at the New York meet
ing to secure the star players Of the
American league, he stated that the mat
ter was only discussed informally, not
as a league, but that he had no doubt
that the National league could raise $780,
wv or more If necessary.

game between Iowa and Nebraska on

signed by Manager Charles Engel for the
University of Nebraska and by Manager
McCutcheon for Iowa. 1t is conditional
upon the approval Of the Iowa board of
athletic control
Interviews with the members Of the
board Of athletic control establish the
fact that the contract will be disapproved
by a nearly unanimous vote. Several co..
leges in the state are applicants for the
date and the relations of the university
with them are such that, other things
being equal th6S would be preferred to
Nebraska. There would Sc more interest
IN game with one of these teams at
Iowa City than in the game with the
Westerners, and as the football schedule
is being shaped largely with view to
gathering, in as many shekels as posi-
Die, the board Of control feels that it
would be wiser to take the game which

yesterday that he expected the contests
for the places on the University of Chi

will play Morgan Park academy, Thurs
day with ST. IgSatius college and Satur-
day with Culver Military academy. The
first big college game will be p:syed a

igan here for that game, the wolverines
will play Wisconsin, Beloit and Illinois.
