VERY ECCENTRIC.
Speaking Of waddelrs remarkable eccen-
t~ricities. Doctor George said. Friday:
"cRube' had a bad habit OF throwing to
bases without looking at the base to which
he was throwing. As a result the ball
would go half a mile before it would be re-
covered, and every man who happened to
be on the bases would score. Consequently
We had to instruct the basemen to play only
for the batter, and not pay any attention to
the base runner. That used the .Rube' all
up. for he delighted in throwing 10 the
basemen with all his strength. When he
found. however, hat the guardians of the
sacks were playing off from the bags, and
not looking for throws. he stopped the prac-
s'ce."

HARRY PULLIAM
TELLS A STORY.

President Harry Pulliam has returned to
headquarters after a three-fourths' swing
around the Western circuit. He SAW sew
eral of his umpires. in the thick of strenu-
GUS engagements, and before he started
eastward he was impelled to tell a story
that related to his iliustrious predecessor,
N. E. Young:
Uncle Nick said Colonel Pulliam, ran
out to Pittsburg on a pleasure trip once
upon a time. but he had hardly planted
himself in a box until trouble began on the
field. Somebody threw a ball over the
fence. and everybody made a rush for Bert
Cunningham and butted him over the lot.
AS soon as the game was over the reporters
made a rush for Uncle Nick. What arc
you going to do about such disgraceful con-
duct? was the burden Of their inquiry, but
with a look Of pain Uncle Nick sidestepped
all their questions by murmuring: I'VE got
such a headache. I'm sorry 1 camel
"In Chicago the other day I ran across

umpire's burden. and is officiating in the

he me and played a series and ] won every
gone 1 pitched. I lost my first game to
the Topekas, who were then the champions.
I remember that l held them down to two
hits until the seventh inning. when they
pied in seven runs on me. I finished the
season with the Kansas Citys. and at the
beginning Of the succeeding season signed
with the Memphis team Of the Southern
League. The first game I pitched was
against the famous St. Louis Browns, and
I won the game s to 3. Manning heard Of
this, and for weeks and weeks I was be-
sieged by letters and kilograms from Man
ming, begging me to come back. I stayed
with the Memphis club until July of that
year, when the Southern League broke up.
I then came back to Kansas City, finished
the season with Manning's team, and won
eighteen out of the twenty games I pitched.
II was sold to st. Joseph the next year,
but refused to play with that team. owing
to the poor salary 1 was offered. Selee was
then with the Omaha team and I accepted
an offer he made me. / Joined the team on
May 3, and at that time it was in last
place. Well. I finished the season with the
Omahas and succeeded in winning forty
games out Of the forty-eight I pitched, and
the team finished the season in first place.
When the season ended Selee made me
promise to go with him wherever he went
the succeeding season. That Is how I hap
pened to go to Boston. for sclee was offered
the management of the Boston team and I
signed with him. Bob Lowe. who had been
playing with Milwaukee, and Long, who
had been playing with Kansas City. went
to Boston at the same time, and, strange
to say, we three played together on the
Boston team for the succeeding twelve
years.
D I remember the first game I pitched
in the National League? Yes, 1 remember
it distinctly. 1t was against the Brooklyn
team and I won It by a score of 5 to 2.
1.-The games that stand out most con-
spicuously in my memory in my long ca
reer in the National League are those
played In the final series with Baltimore in
1887. Baltimore had won the pennant for
three successive ~years-'94, IS and 90. Bos-
ton had won it the three previous seasons
and the winning of the flag in 81, there
fore, meant a great deal to either team.
For n month previous to that last series
Boston and Baltimore had been alternating
In the lead, and when We went to Baltimore
for those last three games the Orioles led
us by one point in the standing. 1t was a
great series. People all over the country
were interested in 1t. and I remember that
at that time 1 received innumerable letters
and kilograms. The duty OF pitching in the
first game fell to my lot. We won It, tho
final score being 6 to 4. Joe Corbett was
pitted against me. The second game we
lost, and I never saw so large a crowd
collected to witness a ball game as that
which attended that final contest. There
were ut least $1,000 persons present, and We
won"

How ar. FrosoIs Sheds His Cost

Frogs change their skins after the
winter is we'll over and there is no

ping frosts. And this is the way
they do it: A froggie whose skin is
"ripe" will 60 of all by himself and
sit under a big, broad plantain or
burdock leaf in the shade, just
blinking his eyes for an hour or
more. Sometimes he viii shiver,
and his skin will seem to creep, and
presently he will "hunch" his back
and sit in the funniest round shoul-
dered fashion. Then q big crack
will appear in the thin, dry outer
most covering Of his skin, often
from the middle Of his fat head to
the tip end Of his broad body. As
soor as he feels this he begins to
wriggle, and the dry, husky skin
splits wider and wider and rolls
back further and further until he
can reach the ragged edge Of it with
one of his feet. Then he begins to
scratch and at last peels it of his
legs and over his head just as little
people peel off their tight fitting
fannels sometimes. And then
