thought that the team would be made
UP largely of local players. with two or
three extra pitchers and {; good man

season opened several of the clubs
took a spurt and the rest of the clubs
had to release more than half of the
men on their teams and I'LL up With
better men. BY that time many of the
best ball players had signed elsewhere
and it was u difficult matter to secure
the men desired. This season 1t is dill

wye had all manner of trouble with
.umpires last season. Men who had
given the best of satisfaction the year
before turned out to be dismal failures
and we we're compelled to change every
few days.
IL believe we have solved the umpire
question now by signing Jack Flynn
Frank Quigg and Harry Burrell for
our staff arbitrator next year. They
are all good men.
THE most important change that we
shall make will be in the schedule.
Our season was generally considered
too short last year. This year we shall
have 1876 games for each team"

Yankee Baby Banker.

A 6-year-old boy, l. c. Brown, Jr.,
has an independent account of $156.s5
subject to his personal check, with
the First National bank of Hillsbor-
ough Bridge, N. H. He is the young
est depositor in the state of New
Hampshire to boast this privilege, and
takes great pride in writing his checks
standing on a chair at the counter to
do so.
He has earned the money himself
BY the time he is ten years old he
hopes to have at least $500, and to
be a capitalist at 20. He sells butter
for his grandfather, S. 7. Moves, OF
Colebrook, receiving it at the express
station each week, delivering it to GUS
toners and collecting the pay for It,,
sending his personal check for the
amount, minus substantial commits
sion to his grandfather. TIE boy
started in business last fall, opening
his bank account October 15. At first
the whole thing was looked upon as
Joke, but now the townspeople are all
interested in the sturdy little fellows
enterprise, and he has all the trade he
can attend to.

Restored Her "Equilibrium."
rpa1tip,oro Snn.1

1t was during one Of the days last
week when the sidewalks were slippery
with snow and ice.
! One young woman whose arms were
loaded with bundles was tripping along
it'll a quick step, her face refletcing the
amusement caused by the many falls
she had seen. Suddenly, she, tot, fell,
and her bundles ere scattered as bum
dies can be scattered only at such
times.
Gathering all in sight and regaining
her feet, she started off.
Say, Miss" voice hailed her, SAY
miss, didn't you lose something's"
Partly because she had sense OF
humor and partly because the speaker
was newsbay, and she expected to be
made the victim of his sharp wit, she
answered, Eyes. lost my equilibrium .
But the boy was perfectly serious
and he was not acquainted with the
word "Well, here it is" he said, hand
ing her parcel, which ha dfallen out
of reach of her eye.

NORTON ON THE LEAGUE.
President Sees Bright Future for the
Iowa State LEAGUE This Season.


Iowa State League This Season.
President Frank G. Norton, of the
Iowa State League, predicts a bright
future for the league this season, and
is enthusiastic in his belief in the cir
cults prosperity. OF the work last
season and the plans for this year Mr..
Norton has the following to say:
"All of the towns that were in the
circuit last season will be in again this
coming season and all are anxious for
the season to open.
Last year the first of the Iowa
State League, was an experiment. There
was a question in the minds of many
as to whether or not we should be able
to run the season thru. 1t was the first
professional baseball that had been
played In several Of the towns. But
one or two teams had managers that
had ever had any experience in manag-
ing league base ball teams and players
were afraid of our league.
"This year all will be different. Stock
companies have been formed in all of
our cities and money is not scarce.
"Franchises in the Iowa State Lea
que are now valuable. At the open
ing of last season we had to beg some
of the towns to accept a franchise.
They wanted base ball but they were
afraid of it. and we had no end of diff
f1culty in lining up our circuit. This is
now all changed. Every town that was
in last year had signified desire to
come back, but we have also had sew
eral applications from good base ball
towns outside of the circuit asking
for franchises and wanting to be plac-
ed on the list that they may be consid-
cred as soon as a vacancy occurs.
1--WE shall not however, drop any of
our towns this spring, and | doubt If
any material changes are made in the
league for some time.
"The league was far from financial
failure last season. 1t is true that the
clubs did not make anything. There are
many reasons for this. In the first
place nearly all of the towns had to
build base ball parks. A base ball park
costs money This year they will all
have their base ball parks. and the cost
Of putting them in shape will not be
great
THE salary limit is a perplexing
question. Several of the teams went
over it last year, it is said. There will
be no end of trouble in keeping them
within the limit this season, for the
company is faster than we at first
every town wants winning team.
When the league was first planned
and when It was organized 1t was

COUNTRY CLUB WINS,
Beats the Rabbits 9 to z - Standing Of
the Clubs.

For rapidity of action, closeness of
score and noisy roofing, the Country
Club Rabbits game at the Y. nj. e. A.,
last night was the best of the season.
BY virtue OF better batting and more
luck the Country Club won to q but
the losers finished with such a rush
as to almost nip the Golphers' VIC
tory in the bud. The attendance set
new high water mark, caused by the
lecture crowd, the followers of the
Country Club and the high school con-
tingent, the latter of which backed the
Rabbits with it's roofing. So close
was the contest waged that the UNI
pires were kept continually In not
water over the decisions, and wrangles
marked almost every inning.
For three innings the Country Club
failed to score. while the Rabbits made
one, but at the close of the seventh
the tallies stood to 2 in favor OF the
pointing to it being an easy winner.
This was due to it's bunch of hits ana
the oppostion's errors and mistakes,
which netted four scores for the round.
After the seventh, however, the Coun-
trN Club made but one in each Inn
ing. while the Rabbits took five, two in
the eighth and three in the ninth.
In the pitching department Ritter
had the best of the argument, and dur
ing the early innings was hit infre-=
quently. Boardman, who pitched fof
the Country Club, did not seem to APP
pear in his usual good form, but the
playing of his team mates helped out
at critical times. The playing was
marked by unusual roughness, and mix
ups between base runners and players
were frequent. In the manner OF rum
ming bases the Country Club could act
as teachers to most of the mines of the
league. The teams lined up as follows:
Country Club-Maxwell, eaten;
Boardman, pitch; Wilbur, left short;
McCreery, right short; Scott, first
base; Egermayer, second base and
Lander, third base.
Rabbits-Redel, catch; Ritter, pitch;
Wood, left short; Pinkerton, right
short; Hall, first; Moffatt, second;
Bailey, third and Cole left field.
The score by innings:
Country Club $3.50 0 0 l--9
Rabbits ..........0 o 0 0 0 81

saturday Evening Post.l


The Chadwick woman was merely
q vulgar and ostentatious waster of
substance. Her history seems to be
one long story of wastefulness and
foolish extravaganza. Lucky is the
community that escapes from the ex-
ample of such hellions, for the genus is
by no means yet all in Jail. Nearly
every neighborhood has or has had
women who were only happy as they
could wasts-seeming to live only to
disburse In frivolity the fortunes of
the luckless wights who had been in
weighed into matrimony with them.
The Jail, the workhouse, the restaur-
ant kitchen are proper places for this
class Of fools. Courtesy, consideration,
love are thrown away on such She
devils. Wives who look after their
housekeeping and the household du-
ties, do not get into jail for swind
ling banks on forged snotss.
