What is the plan of your batting or

tain Abbott today. Just about the
way we have been lining up was his
answer. ct believe in alternating from
a right hand to a left hand batter That
cOnfuses a pitcher. Quigley will lead
away. He is a right hand hitter. Then,
too he srnashes hard and has a record
of getting on first often. Cole, a left
handler. a good waiter, and one of the
best hunters and base-runners in the
league follows. Dunn, who is a right
handler and a hard hitter. and can bring
men in when they get on bases. is the
next in order. 1 am next and hit left
handed. Persch, a Highlander and an
other hard hitter, is next in line. Charley
Crum, a left handler, who socks the pill
numerically, follows the Dutchman-
Then comes Dick Brown, another right
handler. BY the way, look out for
Browns batting average this year. He
looks as though his eye is back again.
Henry, who can slam the ball hard
when he meets it, follows Brown. He is
a right-hander. I believe that arrange
ment is a winner and a run-getter. I
also select this arrangement with view
of how the men are able to act on the
bases. Getting on and getting around
are two different things. have sand

stitious lot of fellows. The latest thing
which is worrying them is the fact that
the league is called the Western Asso-
citation this year. They don't like it.
Captain Abbott in particular thinks the
name a hoodoo. Here is the reason;
Three times have leagues, named West
ern Association, been started, and all
three times have they exploded before
the first season was up. In 1897 a cir
cult composed OF Sioux City, St. Joseph,
and several more in that territory were
given that name. The thing didn't last
two months The next year the title
was tackled onto another circuit of
about the same makeup, and the ar
rangement fizzled out again. In 1899
several towns further east in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania tried it again,
and another busted bubble was the sole
result This year the name is being
given its fourth tuza1. There is nothing
shaxy about it so far as anybody can
see, but the ball players are leary. Is it
a hoodoo?

few mutual matters with the local club
owners. President Leist's mission was
the puchase of three players from the
local list, but the men valuable to him
in all but one instance are needed
here. President Shiveley has been
making the rounds of the circuit for
several weeks and has on every hand
been jOshed, jollied or, as he says,
'kidded' concerning his prediction
that LeaVenworth would be the STUN
bling block to aspirants to the pen
nant.
''They look good, better than goodi"
he exclaimed after watching the
snappy work of the locals at League
park yesterday afternoon. And Mr..
Leist agreed with him.

ABOUT SANTA CLAUS.

write myself down as one who still
believes In Santa Claus. Don't you?
Are you one Of those very literal folk
who have their doubts whether they
ought to let their children cling =
the beautiful old myth? My dear,
wherever you are, come sit down BY
me, and let me reason with you.
without Imagination, without
dreams, without poetry, this old world
of ours would be very wearisome
place. Its road would be sleeper than
1t is--much like sleighing over bare
ground would our progress be, as COM
pared with sleighing over deep, hard
packed snow. .
The poetic myth Of the old saint
with his reindeer and his jingling bells
and his bullying pack Of toys and bon.
bons, has charmed a thousand genera
lions. The stockings hung BY the
chimney on Christmas eve; the chill
dren staying awake until sleep
pounces on them like q strong man
armed; the presents filling them from
| top to toe in the morning; the rush
Of the bare feet hurrying fast across
| the floor; the merry uproar; the bub-
bling laughter; the shouts OF Joy
the whole Of this family pageant be-
longs to dear Santa Claus. We owe
It to him. Gradually, as the golden
mists of childhood clear before the
sun, and the trailing clouds Of glory"
fade, our small men and women dis
cover that Santa Claus is not one, but
ten thousand, that he is better than
they knew, being just the spirit OF
love, good will and beautiful unselfsh-
ness, that makes the world beautiful
place to live in now, and makes 1t Q
good starting point for heaven by and
by. For you and me there is hope
that we may do our duty in this worlt
lovingly, while we keep the child-hear1
and believe in Santa Claus.-Wom

Hidden Christmas Bellg

Near Raleigh, Nottirghamshire,
Eng. there is valley said to be
caused by an earthquake several hun
dred years ago. and It is now usual
for old people, on Christmas morning,
to- tell the children to 90 to the valley,
stoop down, and hear the bells ringing
nerrily in the ruins Of the church hid
den away in the ground.
At Kilgrimol, near Blackpool, there
is common belief that the bells OF .
hidden church may be heard BY any
one who bends his ear to the ground
at Christmas.
In Berwickshire It was at one time
a popular belief that bells could be
heard ringing in the ground on Christ

that bells could be heard Iaerrily peal
