Naughty Servants

Henry Tyson Hughes, a millionaire
of Cleveland, entertained in August at
his bungalow at Dark HarbOr, Me-, a
rich English cousin.
The cousin, as the custom is abroad.
put his shoes out before his door every
night to be polished, but, though Mr..
Hughes servants numbered a dozen,
not one of them, under any circum-
stances, would consent to clean the
shoes of the English visitor. The host,
to avoid a domestic strike and to avoid
embarrassing his cousin, secretly took
away and blackened the shoes in ques-
ton every morning himself.
He was discussing the matter the
other day at Dark Harbor.

unknown SHOWS UP At j.
Maddox Shifts His Team to Give
Players All Around Ex-
perience.

In the practice yesterday afternoon
Coach Maddox of the University foot
ball team shifted all the players into po-
sitions that they had never PLAYED i'm
before The center men were put i'm the
pack field and the backs in their places
Maddock's idea in doing this is to teach
the line men the work that is expected
or the back field and to show him what
little chance there is for loafing as com
pared with line position. Many anus
ing combinations were formed by the
shifting of the men. Bennion played cen
ter, and Marley, the center. was found
at quarter. Olsen and Bryant held down
halves; and Barton, the giant guard, was
at fulback.
An unknown, who weighs 20 pounds
ard who has powerful build WAS seen
taking To Captain BenniOn and Coach
Maddox yesterday. He entered school
while the team was away. and it is said

tice in a few DAYS

NEW BASEBALL HISTORY

Hans Wagner, the big Pittsburg short
stop, who for years has been one of the
heaviest hitters and one of the most pic
turesque ball players on the diamond, led
the National league hitters this season
with an average of $40. Last year he
was second on the list to ICY" Seymour,
batting for 367 This year Seymour
dropped to fourteenth position in the
standing, his figures falling from 1884 in
1904 to $50 this year.
Mccain of the Giants was disciplined
eight times by the umpireS this season.
Bresnahan was penaliZeG six times and
McGlnnity led the team with eleven put
outs. Statistics show that the Giants
have been put off the grounds thirty
nine times this season, and in nine of
the instances McGraw was the offender.
During the season of 1905 there were
1,314 two-baggers, $50 three-baggers and
14l home runs made in the American
league. Cleveland led in two-base hits,
with 223; New York in three-baggers,
with IS. and the Athletics in home runs,
