1t looks as IL Yale would have to de-
pend on Jackson and Bell for pitching.
Jackson pitched part. of the game at
Princeton last year, and Bell three innings
in the game in Cambridge. Neither Is of

Inquiries About Everlasting Flower.

More than 1000 letters and kilograms
have been received by Luther Burbank at
San Francisco in regard TO the new ever
lasting flower which he has developed
from an Australian blossom. The fact that
the flower doesn't fade and never loses its
color or its perfume seems TO appeal
strongly not only to those who are engaged
IN decorative work, but to milliners. wha
see its great advantage over artificial
flowers for hats and bonnets.
Many of the letters are from florists In
Europe and this country who desire exclu-
sive rights to handle the flower. Burbank
declares he has no time to exploit the COM
mercial advantages of the flower though
1t is probable that he will turn oyer this
part of the work to some agent.

Loueyville, Kaintuck, June S.-There were

Whereupon Billimus walked up to the arbitra

and yelled:

The menials did not arrive In time, but the
imp was.
When he arrived he niftily handed Darby Day
a wallop In the gobboon and followed up with a
left hook that sent the resoundng whack of the

The village constable rushed upon the green

WANTS NEW BALLS
THRUOUT THE GAME

Billy Clngman, who is playing shortstop for
the Toledo club, makes a suggestion that the
managers Of the various clubs, not only in the
association, but in all other leagues, might profit
by. Billy thinks it would be for the betterment
of the game. especially benefit baseball fans, to
make it compulsory on the part Of the home
clubs to furnish sufficient number Of new balls
for every championship game and prohibit the
use of old or ''black'' balls, as they are termed
by the players.
The custom nowadays is for the home club,
providing they have the lead, say after the
third or fourth inning, to put in the DID, punky
balls, which are poor that it is almost I'M
possible to hit them out of the lot, or in fact
do any hard hitting with them. Another thing
if the day happened to be cloudy the pitchers
have all the greater picnic, as the batters
have hard work to get their eyes on the ball.
There is always the usual wrangling between
the rival players regarding such balls and the UNI
pre has his troubles trying to straighten out
matters The fans the sufferers, as they are
robbed of witnessing what otherwise would be a
lively game Of ball. 1t is not always the case,
of course but there are many instances where
it does happen. This does not apply to any one
club, for they all do it when at home.

THE DREYFUsS INCIDENT

The shades of night were falling fast,
When toward the Giants club house passed,
A magnate with a spring suit
Suddenly came this flip salute:
"Hey, Barney!'
His brow grew stern, his jaws were set;
Said he, Watts dis alretty YETI"
And still from the veranda came
That slogan, spoken just the same.
Hey, Barney!'
Zach, himmel!' said the Pittsburg chief,
''Such nerf ISIS quite peyond pelief!''
Again that salutation raw
Twas from the lips of Mugs McGraw:
Hey, Barney"
''Be careful, Muggs," rooter cried;
you're injuring little Barney's pride.''
Another fan said, "Cut it out''
But still arose that ringing shout:
Hey, Barney!''
Now Mugs is fined--a measly shame;
Fined and elected from the game.
But fans for many years to come
Will keep that war cry going some:
Hey, Barney!"
