LumIey is Best Baseball Asset.

Lumley Is one of the most highly
valued ball players in the world. He
belongs to the Brooklyn club Of the
National league, and his worth has SO
increased during the past three years
that he has brought the Long Island
organization out of the mire and put it
On a paying basis. From the manner
in which the club hangs on to him it is
estimated that he actually represents
$4,000 of the clubs assets.
Fabulous sums have been offered for
the great star by the other rich clubs
Of the league, and they have all been
turned down. During the past two
seasons there is not a club in the en-
tire organization that has not made
some proposition to Owner Ebbets for
this man. The amount of money in
some of these offers would represent
the entire value of many ball clubs in
the minor leagues.
Ever since Charley Murphy took hold
Of the Chicago National club he has
been in a redhot chase for Lumley. A
year ago this winter Murphy spent the
greater part Of a week in New York
trying to put over q deal whereby he
could land Lumley to play with the
Cubs. The New York club has made
almost unprecedented offers to land
him for the big Gotham tribe, and
Cincinnati, Pittsburg and all of the
others have been in the push to grab
off the terrible swatter of the National
league

Clover = Valuable Croo.

Clover is good for feeding TO live
stock and also splendid for removal
ing or feeding the soil. There is no
farm that is not capable of being help
ed by the growing and feeding on it
of clover This is to be kept in mind
and put in practice. Glover roots deep

port from the subsoil, and if the ground
is well filed with clover roots when
the clover dies the enriching of the
soil by those roots must be immense
The roots produce a heterogeneous en-
riching with the hay added.

EATING IN PUBLIC.
The Varied Sorrows of the Critical
Man Who Dimes Out.

man VINO Dimes Cut.
What chance has the diner out of
being completely happy? The mere
actions of eating and drinking are nei-
Their pretty nor conducive to showing
people at their best. 1t is really a
most uncouth sight to see a man or u
woman stoking food. The necessity
of being polite at the same time makes
it uncomfortable as well. No sooner
have you got into conversation with a
pleasant woman than the soup in your
mustache stops all inspiration. She
despises you for your play with your
napkin, and your mustache is out of
shape. And who can feel that the
evening is going to be what he hoped
when he realizes that his shirt front is
smirched with some relic of the meal?
Indeed, dinner parties are really a
struggle between eating and talking. a
struggle which does not always end,
as do most things, in the survival Of
the fittest. As one can't speak with
ones mouth full and first hunger must
be appeased, conversation and eating
go on rather as game, the one person
whipping up some food while the other
is speaking and then in his turn speak
ing in order to enable his partner TO
get some nourishment To talk or TO
eat might be sensible question at the
beginning of dinner. but it is not one
likely TO be asked One is seldom sure

simpler il would be IL we fed apar.

FORM INDIANA LEAGUE
TO PLAY SUNDAY BALL
Manager HuCkins Gets Rich
mOnd Franchise.
MEETING HELD YESTERDAY.

Manager Harry Huckins of the
Richmond baseball club was at Indian
apolis yesterday in attendance at a
meeting of baseball managers from
Indiana cities, the purpose being 10
form a Sunday afternoon league. Al
ready seven clubs have signified a
Willingness TO join the league and with
an eighth yet to be chosen it is felt
that an ideal circuit can be perfected.
As the league now stands, Indianap-
oils will have two clubs, the Reserves
and team managed by Frank Quels-
ser. Logansport will have a team
managed by ]. n. Berry called the OF
tos, while the other clubs and their
managers are Kokomo, George F.
Traubue, Fl. Wayne, C. E. Barnett,
and Anderson, William Norton.
The constitution was framed and
will come up for adoption at another
meeting. to be held on the first Sun
day in April, when forfeits will be
posted for the continuance of the
teams in the league until the season
closes. A. r. King was elected presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer.
A schedule will be adopted at the
next meeting. The season will start
on April % and close the first week
in October. Sunday and holiday
games will be scheduled. On other
days the clubs will be permitted to
play Independent clubs.
In most cases the league will be
composed of clubs which have been
in existence for long time and have
become thoroughly established. The
league will not operate under the ma
tional agreement, being generally
maintained out of town pride more
than from a financial standpoint A
silver cup will be the prize to the
winner.
Manager Huckins passed through
Richmond last night on his return to
Dayton from the meeting. He feels
that the league would be good one
but there is one thing that stands in
the way of his joining. His team
would have to be away from home ev-
cry other Sunday. He intends TO find
out the feeling of the local baseball
fans and if they desire him to join the
league he will do So What Manager
Huckins wants to do is to give Rich
mond the best article of baseball she
ever had.

The Chinese Farmer.

Harry L. Paddock, United States con-
sui at Annoy. China, writes: The Chi
nese farmer is up before daybreak and
at work in his sterile fields-fields
whose productivity has been exhausted
except under high fertilization. He re
turns to his little shanty after night
fall. To the view Of the foreigner he
never rests, and for this never ending
labor he raises crop of rice or corn
that does not support his family for the
year. His clothing consists of a loin
cloth in summer and a coarse cotton
suit in the winter Farmers, like all la
borers and artisans of China, work
hard to live. Laborers earn 10 cents a
day, masons Is cents, artisans 10 to 20
cents and clerks 40 to 80 cents

ATHLETIC PROSPECTS
UNUSUALLY PROMISING
EarIham Gets Ready for Track
And Baseball.
SCHEDULES ARE MADE OUT,

The prospects for spring athletics al
Earlham were never more promising
than they are this year, as there are
! number of old men here who have
done things and several new men who
are going 10 do them or at least show
promise.
There is a probability of two track
meets this year There will probably
be a duel meet on May 4, on Reid
field. either with Miami or the India
napolis Y NJ c. A and on May Il the
state meet will be held at Wabash.
Several old track men are back and
quite a number of new ones who are
expected to show up well. among
them: Captain White, hurdles and
high jump; Wann, half and quarter;
and Birch and Elliott the dashes.
Among the long distance men may be
mentioned Nanny, Furnas, Winslow
and Hutton. Hancock has been doing
we'll in the pole vault. Smelser, This
tlethwaite, Guyer and WaIthal are do
ing well in the weights.
AS has been said before, Earlham
will take up a new departure in ath-
letics this spring, that is, intercolle-
giate baseball, and will probably have
a schedule of six games.
There has been very little base ball
played at Earlham for several years,
outside of few class games. but as
there are quite a number of base ball
men in school this year. ii is thought
that they may be able to make good
showing White, who is captain, has
shown himself to be a pitcher of abil
ity and Birch has also pitched some.
Among the other promising candi-
dates may be mentioned Elliott
Grimes, Wann, Stanley, Furnas, G.
Barrett, Wright, Chambers and Huff.
The schedule is as follows:
April 13-Miami at Earlham.
April 2O-Wabash at Charlottesville.
April 27-Open.

English manager to get off with $25,
which is a ludicrous exchange for life.
But when the agents ring at the door

For there is no pretense about the

over again. 1t was proved last week
in the case of a well known and pow
erful manager who was murdered

Their Bite Is Sometimes Fatal and Al

ways Dangerous.
In a recent issue of the Scientific
American an article appeared writer
by D. Allen Wiley describing the Gils
monster. The statement was made il
the article that scientists had ques
toned whether it's bite was fatally
poisonous. as has been supposed. w
c. Barnes of Las Vegas. \. NJ, claims
to know of two cases, in one of which
death resulted Mr.. Barnes writes as
follows:
The first man was in Tombstone
Ariz. The ella was tied by the leg
in a saloon as a curio, and a drunken
gambler named Brown was teasing it
He carelessly stuck his first two fin

be released until the reptiles head
was cut off and the jaws cut apart
Brown suffered horrible agony for al
most two days, and in spite of all eff
forts he died
1.-The second case was in the fall of
1889. Walter Vail started from the
Empire ranch. near Benson. Ariz.. to
ride into town on horseback, some fif-
teen miles. A short distance from the
ranch a monster was sluggishly drag
ging its way across the road. Think
ing to take it in for friend he got
down and killed 1T. or at least he
thought he killed it. To carry it easily
he tied it on his saddle behind him,
using his saddle string for the purpose.
AS he loped along he thought to assure
himself it hadn't dropped off by reach
ing around behind him with his right
hand and feeling for the monster
1T was there and not nearly as
dead as he thought. His first finger
went into the reptiles mouth clear to
the knuckle, and instantly those jaws
with the long, sharp daggerlike teeth
closed on Wallis finger. With his left

had to dissect the head and jaws to
get his finger from their grip.
Vail then spurred his horse into
Benson and found an engine in the
yards. A hasty exchange of kilograms
with the division superintendent and
Tucson took place, and in a few mo-
ments he was on the engine and rae
ing over the road for Tucson where an

Sheep Easy to Keen.

A few sheep could be kept on most
of our farms, and we would not miss
their feed in winter, and they would
destroy a great many briers and weeds
in summer. Where the stomach worm,
scab and dogs can be controlled there
is no live stock that will pay near the
profit of sheep. One man in Illinois
reports a profit of S505 from seven
acres OF corn with rape sown at last
cultivation fed to sheep. Show me sew

much and leave 30 per cent of the fer
