T CAN'T say that Long Arm Leary was the
LATEST bali player that ever lived, but he
sure had shade on any member of the famous
Sluggitt Corners nine Though his arms
reached to his knees and he was six foot tall
he hated to extend himself for wild throws !;
but with such stars as Chopemout Clancy at
short, Chicago Glenn at third, and Sawed Off
SPOTS at second, who were always making
seemingly impossible stops an hurlin EN-
across the diamond from all sorts of positions,
he had to stretch both long arms and long body
more than once.

ness. that he got talking about it in his sleep.
He'd complain to the manager, but Sure Eye
Simmons took the part o the in-helders
who tried for everything and made those
electric stops. One of Chicago Clems stunts
was to stop bunt hits with his feet and
kick the bali across to first, all in one mo-
ton 1t was a great play, but of course
you couldn't expect him to split first base on
a kicked ball. That was what got Long Arm
Leary sore.
One night he saw a pool game on new
tangled table where the balls roll into the
pockets and through channels under the sur
face and fall into a box at one end. He exam

OF course, the Swatts-
burgs went to bat first,
and of course Putemover
Pinkney, who was working
in the box for us that day,
pitched so they'd put EN-
on the ground. If we'd
noticed we'd seen that the
batter tried to knock the
ball on the ground, and
did; an if we'd looked
again, we'd have seen that
their eyes didn't follow the
ball at ali, but were glued
on Long Arm Leary on first
base.
Clancy got the ball and
dropped it swift into the
first little hole he saw.

Two days later we went out
to practise, and, 10 and behold
the diamond was dotted with
little white disks sunk in the

and finally Clancy gave one a
pull and it snapped up, disclos-

ground, lined with brass.

most farms it is the practice to fatton

There is really no harm done fatteniug

hens When the farmer is fattening
hogs in open yards during the winter it
is difficult to prevent the fowls getting
more grain than they need. The tur.

laying. The eggs will be slow 10 max

number and too large. There would be
fewer complaints Of poor matches and
weak, troublesome baby turks if every

the importance of getting fat hens back

Of starving them. These old hens, |

Many fail to get good results with 2 and

Feather Pulling

the edge Of the bill ell around. The
bill should be cut only little shorter
than it's usual length, and though some

The fowl can pick up its food IS usual
after the bill is cut, but when it at
