BILE hits the broad side of this box
when pitched a strike is called. If
it shoots over or beside the box it is
a ball" -Four balls" as in the real
game, entitle the batsman to his base.
There are no foul strikes in spool
baseball, but when a ball touches the
bat and rolls foul the fielder nearest
the point where it stops is rolled from
his position toward it, and if he touch
es it the batsman is out" A fair hit
that knocks over a fielder is an "out"
if the fielder rolls further from the
plate than does the ball and it scores
as a ely caught" When a fair hit is
met by no fielder or when it strikes
one and goes beyond him the n
nearest where it stops is rolled toward
it, and If he touches it it is an out.
Should he miss, however, the batsman
is rolled from home plate toward first
base, and, hitting the baseman there,
is declared safe and may roll for
second, third and home in order.
The field team waits to move until
the runner has tried, and if he fails
at any base the bali is thrown from
where it stopped toward the baseman
missed. Should the ball then hit the
latter the runner is out. Should it
not hit the runner has again to roll
from where he stopped toward the
baseman, and If he fails again the bali
is thrown from its place, and so on
until the mar is either safe or out.
Once safe on first base the runner
remains there until the next ball other
than a foul has been delivered. Then
he may try to steal the next base I'M.
der the same rules as applied to his
reaching first, but he may take but
n base, Of course, on such a run
Should a hit be made when q runner
is on first base the ball may be felded
to second base Immediately to force
him out, as in the real game. and this
may often develop in a true double
play if the batter fails to get to first.
For a throw to home base the catch
er is brought up from behind the bat
and placed unon the plate. In the
case Of a hit off the field (that is. the
bed or table, the ball is brought back
to the point over which 1t passed on

To find a way to play baseball at
home has long been the ambition of
every patriotic American boy.
Any boy who can shoot a marble
can play indoor baseball. The field
should be a bed or large table, with
pillows or a pile Of books or boxes for
a back stop" An old sheet with a
diagram Of the diamond in chalk or
ink should be spread upon bed or
table, the diamond at one end and the
outfeld at the other, as on real
grounds. The bases should be two
feet apart, marked by round spots the
size of a silver quarter, and the pitch
er's box should be a foot from the
home plate, the latter being a postage
stamp, The pitchers and batsman's
boxes should be marked as well as the
foul lines.
The players are s~pools-just ordin-
airy sewing silk or thread spools-and
they are all selected for their ability
to roll straight, says the New York
Herald. The name Of each player is
written on a slip Of paper pasted on
his head. The mines secured, the ball
and bat are all that remain to be
found. The former Is a marble Of
medium size. The latter is a round
lead pencil. not %sharpened. The team
in the field are all placed in their ac-
customed positions as in the actual
game, except that the three basemen
remain on the bases instead of play
ing of" The operator or manager"
Of the field team stands beside the
table nearest first base, aud, reach
ing his arm over that position, places
his right hand beside his spool pitcher,
the marble in the hand. The manager
OF the team at bat, putting one of his
men in the batsman's box at home
plate. stands on the other side of the
field from his opponent and places his
right hand, grasping the bat, in front
OF his player.
Then the game begins and the actual
rules are followed closely. a third
boy may act as umpire, or the two
managers a agree easily enough In

Pettlcoat Economy.

A silk petticoat may be made to

usefulness if it is lined as far down
as the bottom rufle with nuns yelling
or some other lightweight fabric. The
weight of the skirt is not noticeably
increased, nor does it spoil the At

doing this the skirt is kept in shape,
and there will be much less tendency

CREW HAD MARROW ESCAPE.
British Bark Wrecked at Mouth Of

Many People Lose Their Lives in Fire

Kansas City, Mo.-In the ruins Of
the Chamber of Commerce building in
Kansas City, Mo, destroyed by fire.
there are anywhere from half a dozen
to thirty bodies, according to estimates
given out by firemen who had worked
at the scene all night.
The actual loss of life will not be
known until a thorough search of the
ruins a be made; probably not then,
as some of the firemen assert that
some bodies have been burned to
ashes. The building, used as a tene-
ment house and containing 100 rooms,
held, as near as can be learned, be-
tween 200 and 300 persons at the time
the fire broke out at IL o'clock. Most
OF these composed families; others
were transients, whose names are un-
