QUEER NAMES
of Common Things
By r. Q. Butler


DLUE JEANS" WILLIAMS he was
ID called; and he died twenty-five
years ago while Governor of Indiana, a
sturdy American, who got his nickname
because of his fOndness for blue jean
overalls, which he deemed the proper
apparel for a worker Yet the blue
jeans that gave him his nickname got
theirs from Spain; for centuries ago
the MOOrs of Spain were famous for
their cloths of different kinds; and among
them was the stuff made in their city
of Jaen.
The name given to a knitted wrap, not
now so common as formerly, afghan" "
indicates what the learned men call its
place of origin; but how many persons
who ask for a shawl to put over their
shoulders know that the name of the little
extra covering does the same? Shal IS
a valley in Afghanistan, and the shawl of
the West took its name and its origin
from the mountains northwest of India.
Many of the dress-gOods of to-day indi-
cate by their names the countries whence
they first were brought to Europe and
thence to America. Cashmere took its
name from the far-famed vale of Cash
mere; but many persons who never
heard of that beautiful valley use the
material which bears its name Nan
keen was first made at Marking, the
southern capital of China; calico was
brought to Europe from Calicut in India;
Muslin came from Mawsil, a city in
Mesopotamia. Mohair, like jeans, was
made by the Moors of Spain. Cambria
is cloth from Cambria in France; worsted
was made at Worstead, in NOrfolkshire,
England; Holland, which we use for
window shades, and frieZe, which makes
heavy overcoats, came from the Low
Countries. Gingham and guimp were
imported from Guingamp, in Brittany;
and before we had sweaters we used jer-
seys and guernseys, shirts made in the
Channel Islands whose names they bear
Other things familiar to housekeepers
have names of strange origin. Buck
wheat cakes and maple-sugar syrup are
looked upon as a typical American dish,
Just as Governor Williams's blue jeans
were considered typical Of his Americana
zation But the buckwheat, at all events,
is of foreign origin, and its name is his
torically curious. The French and Ger
mans call it "Saracen wheat -; lut its
real origin is from the North of Europe
word boek7geit, meaning beechwheat, from
the resemblance of its triangular seed to
beechnutS.
Many other familiar articles of house
hold use show their origin n their names,
though these may be changed more or less
from their first forms Currants, for ex-
ample, once were called Corinth grapes,
because they were brought to Europe
from Corinth, the Greek city on the
Isthmus. The meringue that nowadays
seems welded to the lemon-pie of the
lunch-room took its name from Mehringen,
German town. The damson, which
makes such excellent preserves, IS scien-
tifcally the Damascus plum; and the
damask that IS used for table linen took
its name also from the oldest of known
cities The chestnut came from Castanea
in Greece; the cherry from Cerasus, an
ancient town on the Black Sea. The
peach is the Persian apple.

wHIpPLE's THIRD DEFEAT
But the Game Was Closer Than Either
 That Preceded It.
Phoenix g. Mhipple i

Phoenix g, Whipple :.
 Yesterdays ball game was decidedly the worst of the soldier series from a scientific standpoint. Both sides played loosely, both made numerous errors. and the score is far less cred itable all around. Hartwell did not pitch as well as on Saturday, though he did all that was necessary to save the game and that perhaps is all that he wanted to do. The visitors tried another new pitcher, pressing into ser vice DelgadO of Phoenix. He had had no practice for some time and did splendidly considering that fact and the fact that he had never played with the team before. Practice is what the visitors stand much in need of and what the climate of WhippIe has de nied them for some weeks past. They are rather weak in stick work but their other weak points would be materially improved with practice.
 There was, however, really more ex- citement in yesterdays game than either of the preceding contests. There were more fast spurts, more times when something was likely to happen, and the rOoters were rather more vo- ciferous, The home team took the willow first and hammered out two runs in the first inning, starting things

It looked from the first like there were going to be things doing and no one knew just what. Not withstandfng the numerous errors therefore. the game was interesting and whipple had a fighting chance to win all the way through.

TRY OUT FOREIGN CYCLISTS.
Europeans at Vailsburg Pr~paring for
 Six-Day Race.

Europe's cycle kings had their first try-out on American soil Saturday for the great annual international six-day bicycle race which will be started at Madison Square Garden next Sunday at midnight.
 The Yailsburg board track at New ark was the scene of the foreigners preliminary warm-up. Tommy Hall. who is to ride with Mat Downey of Boston, and who is to tackle Hugh Mclean in a ten-mile motor paced event next Saturday night, especially caught the eye of the crowd. Vanderstuyft and Stol appear to have all the stamina and speed that marked their riding last year. Gou- goltz's new team mate. Vanoni, is q rangy, well built chap, who appears to have plenty of speed. All the others look good.
 The Salt Lake City delegation of riders who are to take part in the in- ternational six-day bicycle race which starts next Sunday at midnight at Madison Square Garden, will leave the Mormon city tonight bound for New York.
 The western string this year is an exceptionally good one, and is going to play an important part in the long grind at the Garden. There are five of them, Hardy K. Downing, Norman 0. Hopper, c. L. Hollister, !. E. Achorn and s. H. Wilcox. Hopper, who last year, when teamed with Caldwell, put up cracking good race, is to ride with Hollister. The latter, in the opinion of Downing, Is one of the best men that ever came out of the west to try for the big prize. This team, says Down. ing, will surely finish one, two, three.
 Achorn and Wilcox will make up an- other combination. Wilcox, by the way, is the only real bona-ade Mormon that ever started in the six-day race, as he pays 10 per cent of all his earn ings to the Mormon church as "tithe money" Achorn rode in great shape during the races at Salt Lake City last summer. Downing has selected Jim my Bowler for a team mate and the pair promises to be one of the most dangerous combinations on the track. Downing teamed in last years race with Carl Limberg. and with a better partner would have been fighting 1t out at the finish with the leaders.
 The westerners eshould arrive in Gotham Friday, and will take part in the ten-mile open international cham pionship event which will be held next Saturday night in the preliminary races to the opening of the big six-day grind the following night.
 There promises to be great rivalry this year between the Boston and Salt Lake delegations. Like the western CTS. the boys in the Hub are training in their own town. With Moran. Mac. Lain, Downey, Keegan and Logan to represent the tea party town, the Nor mons will have to hustle to keep up their end. MacLain is riding great guns in his workouts for the motor pace race against Tommy Hall next Saturday night

MAssErR FOR FITz

Leon Friedman has engaged the ser vices of Prof James Quinn. a profes- sional masseur, to rub Bob Fitzsim- mons after his exercise on the road and in the gymnasium, and Quinn, after looking the freckled fighter over carefully says that FitZsimmons would step into the ring with Jack 0'Brien next month in as good shape as he was ever in during his ring career.
 "FitZsimmons surprised me by his great work in the gymnasium" said Quinn. .'He does not tire. has good wind for q man with only a few days work, and his hitting has not de- teriorated one bit His muscles are in a healthy condition and with the prop CT massaging which I will give him twice each day they will be still better. I find his hands good and strong and his feet and legs show no signs of giv- ing out. He is indeed a remarkable man. and I was greatly surprised to find him in such good condition"
 The way Fitz tears into his work and the abundance of 1t which he con. sumes shows beyond doubt that the grand old man. is far from being a thing of the pugilistic past, as a great many imagined when he was first spoken of as an opponent for 0'Brien

BILLIARDS AND POOL.
Topics About the Game and Doings of
 Cue Experts.

George Slosson says that he has good reason to believe an international billiard tournament for the new cham pionship trophy given by the Bruns- wick-Balke-C Collender Co and repre- senting the worlds championship at eighteen-inch balkline will be held this winter. the leading players now in Paris and America being the competi- tors in the event. Private adyices from Paris are to the effect that the academy games will soon close, in which case Cure, Sutton, Hoppe and one or two others will immediately come over.
 Jacob Schaefer gave an illustration of gameness and return to his old form in Chicago recently, where he was playing a handicap match game at 1Sinch balkline with Al Taylor, to whom Shaefer conceded 25O points in 1000 in three nights play. Schaefer was troubled with a return of his old stomach complaint the second night, and his physician advised him not to play, but the old champion, after per hitting Taylor to complete an unfin- ished run of 64. took his cue and ran 154 in the firt inning, following with 15, TS and A, and closing the even ing's play with a gain of nearly 300 points. Shaeferis average was 21 21-22.
 An Indianapolis man has patented a pneumatic cue which consists of short hollow stick provided with tr. of nd to&o and hollow bulb at the other to fur nish the propeIling power. Pressure on the bulb drives the cut out, the dis. tance being determined by the quick ness of the pressure.
 William Hueston has been recognized as having legitimate right to the worlds championship pool trophy given to the players, Alfredo de Orc having forfeited his claim in refusing to accept a challenge from Hueston. William Wenrick has challenged Hues ton, with the proviso that they play fin New York as Wenrick's business makes 1t impossible for him to leave the city.
 Arrangements are being made to hold a fonr-handed pool match at the Albion in Twenty-third street, New York, next week, William Clearwater and Wenrick playing as a team against Jerome Keogh and Grant Eby. They will play 900 points.
