was beaten clearly and cleverly by
Harry Forbes. the champion bantam

far from telling the measure of his vic

every round willing and eager to fight
again. In skill he was Outclassed by
Forbes. who hit him when and how he
pleased, and as many times as TOkelI

How They Reach Their Apotheosis
on a Woman's Hat.

An ostrich plume passes through
nearly as many hands before reaching
it's aDotheosis on a woman's head as i
pair of shoes in its evolution from the
hide to the completed product. The
crude feather growing on the bird is as
unlike its brilliant, softly waving self of
the retail counter, both in hue and tex
ture. as an egg in the nest is unlike an
omelet aux fine herbes.
The part that women play IN this evO-
luton is naturally considerable. There is
nothing more distinctly feminine than a
bit of real lace. and either will warm

T. Millen. who is in charge of a farm

the horse in the side, breaking four OF
its ribs at one blow. and the unhappy

People who, like Mr.. NfilIen, enjoy the
acquaintance of an extensive circle OF
ostriches in various parts of the world

ARE BECOMING IMPATIENT.
American Leaguers Want to Know
Where They Are to Report.


New York, Feb. 2S.-There are said to
who are becoming dissatisfied over the
delay of Ban Johnson in announcing his
New York plans and who threaten 10
make trouble unless they are informed
where they stand With the spring prac-
tice season only two weeks away the
players who have signed with the Amer
lean League New York club have not
been notified where or when to report
and no one seems to be able to tell them.
One report has it that they are to train
at New Orleans, and another says they
are to go to Atlanta for their prelimi-
nary work. Naturally they are becom-
ing nervous. Many of them signed with
the understanding that they were to
play in New York city and if they are
shifted elsewhere, as now appears like
would not be surprising under the ex-
listing uncertainty that the Giants would
be much stronger aggregation than
they now appear on paper. Both Dele
hanty and Davis are strong possibilities.
John Murphy, who is considered the
best groundkeeper in the country and
who was brought here by Manager Nc
Graw from Baltimore last summer, has
jumped his contract and has been en-
gagged by Manager Hanlon to take charge
of his Baltimore grounds. Murphy made
many improvements at the Polo
grounds and had laid out elaborate
his efforts were not appreciated, and so

quarters. Manager Hanlon says that
Murphy will make the Baltimore park

Davis Kicks on CHICAGO.

New York, Feb. 2s.-George DAVIS
does not want to play ball with the
Chicago American league club, but he
does want to play with the Giants If
there is any way by which he can hold
down the shortstop position at the Polo
grounds the coming season he is going
to find it out even if he is obliged to
go to law to have the question decided.
Davis goes back to 1901 to back up his
claim as being a bona hde Giant, and
says by the old reserve rule that he still
owes the New York club another years
service, and he is more than willing to
fulfill that contract.
