BASE
BALL
FLIES

One Of the remarkable things about
baseball is the scarcity Of accidents TO
players. In the two major leagues aloue
there are 800 ball players playing 10
days a year at least, often FIVE or six
hours a day, counting practice, and yet
IL even one Is hurt it is hcralded all
over the country.
There are perhaps 100000 people IN
the United states who play ball Of
some form every day from April to the
middle Of October-that is. one person
In every eighty handles a ball during
the day and at the least estimate
there are 1000 games Of ball played
every day in summer aud the serious
accidents do not average twenty-five 90
the season. The number Of deaths re-.
ported Cor that ] have seen reportcd)
in the last ten years are fourteen
little over one a year.
Broken fingers. spike wounds. bruises
from batted balls and pitched balls,
hard raps Ia the head. are numerous
enough. but the wonder Is that there
are not more serious injuries. Blood
poisoning from leg wounds, In eases
where the colorcd stockings are driven
into the legs Of the players, is the most
dreaded form Of accident-not even
barring collisions between players.

am all right. But you watch if MT. Compton isn't real interested in me tonight when wear my diamonds"
 Mir. Compton appeared to see Miss Pym for the first time when she en- ! tered the room for dinner. her dia- monds scintillating in the gaslight. But from that moment he had eyes for little else, and she looked around at us with a smile of knowing triumph.
 The iron entered into our souls and we watched him narrowly. Hour by hour and day by day our suspicious were fed by small events. to which our attention was called by Miss Pym, un- til, at the end of a week. our views had become quite definite and decided.
 During the whole of this time Mir. Compton paid her very close attention; In fact. she could scarcely move but he was behind her. This. as she point ed out, was owing to the fact that she wore rather more jewels than the oth- CT ladies. and he was only waiting the opportunity she never gave him in or der to appropriate them.
 One afternoon Miss Pym came into the drawing-room quietly but hastily. with a look of triumph in her eyes.
 Major Belshun." she said. excited ly. Mir. Compton has broken open the wardrobe in my room and is now riiing it's contents. Come and see" The ladies gave a little scream and huddled together st this startling statement.

HAPPY HOOLIGAN."

The resourceful genius of stage di' lection is said to be exemplified in the production of Happy Hooiigan's Irir Around the World" which is under lined at Poli's for next Tuesday after noon and evening, as a musical com edy attraction of unqualified novelty Aside from the out of the ordinary features with which this pronounced success abounds it is credited with sup plying a logical story of fun and frolic around which cluster musical selec' tions of catchy melody. Prices are o5. 3:5 and 5O cents: matinee p cents Seat sale Monday. Telephone 1162.

Jacques; a
VAUDEVILLE.

Comedy and novelty are both promi- nent in the bill that Manager Poli has arranged for next week at the Jacques: in fact, the headline attraction itself combines both these features. To the RossOw Midgets falls the honor of leading the bill, and coming so soon after "the little black man" there will be much interest attaching to their ap- pearance. They may not have much advantage of Prince Shaun in the matter of size, but they easily surpass him in their athletic and acrObatic ac complishments. giving an exhibition or heavy weight lifting. wrestling and boxing that full grown strong men Will we'll envy. In addition 10 his ability as an athlete little Charley Rossow is likewise an accomplished comedian, presenting limitations of well known players that are unusually clever, and singing some serio-comic songs with good effect. Altogether. the Rossows should prove an exceptionally popular feature to top the bill. As an accom- panying headliner Eddie Leonard. the well known minstrel star. will receive a cordial welcome. Mir Leonard D we'll known in this city. where he has appeared number of times with the leading minstrel companies. and has made many admirers by his fine sing ing and excellent dancing. In his vaudeville tour MT Leonard appears in a characteristic minstrel skit entitled "In Dixieland." and has the assistance of the Sharp brothers. a pair of nimbIe dancers. Still third feature. and one that ought to win great favor. will be provided by Ed Keough and his com pany in his new fantasy entitled "A Bit of Blarney." For the presentation of this act Mir keough carries tive complete sets of scenery. one showing Rlarney castle and the Fairies Well and furnishing the setting for very pretty Irish act. while the other shows the interior of the French Bastile and invests Mir Keough's dramatic pre- sentatiOn of the dungeon scene from Robesplerre. This act is regarded as one of the best produced in vaudeville this season. and has been making a very brilliant success in several af the Poli houses where it has been shown The I.airne-Camaran Trio. in some sen sational knockabout acrohatics and coniortion dancing. Van and Alden tn songs of their own composition. Dan Harrington and the electrograph. pie turing a raid on a watermelon patch, win complete the bill. which looks like one to provide much hilarity at th~ Iacques next week. Prices are Io. 2" and Sp cents: matinees 10 and - cents. ladieS ia

 It was quite by chance that Miss Norah Ellington Pym found a place ir our quiet boarding house; and to us 1t was a subject for constant wonder that she remained where things gen erally were so slow"
 The first night. arrayed in splendor she looked around the room in amaze. ment and pity, and then beguiled us with stories of the style people in oul station kept up in the west.
 On the second night three of oul ladies turned in the necks of theil blouses and wore lace. By the end o1 the week our ladies all appeared ir evening blouses. our hostess introduced menus and entrees at dinner. and th' kitchen girl was pressed into cap ant frills and brought up to help in thu waiting.
 Our ladies made still further effort! to reach her level by wearing all thei jewelry and making show of every thing they possessed.
 One afternoon, after an interview il our hosAess' private room, suave polite stranger was ushered into ou midst and introduced as . new boarder
 Within an hour he had won al hearts except that of Miss Pym. Sh looked on in silent scorn while h. waited on the ladies with insratiatini smiles. f's .,
 As soon as he was safely out of hear ing quite chorus of voices said:
