A phenomenal record is that of the
Kendall lambs of Bowdoinham. Five
years ago Kendall brothers gave two
motherless lambs of the flock to Mrs.
John King of Bowdoin aam Ridge who
brought them up as cossets When
the lambs were given away, they had
noticeably long curly wool and when
six months old, the growth Of this
wool was remarkable The length of
the wool was from Il 10 inches.
When the lambs We're warnings the
larger one sneared lSt pounds of
wool, 81 pounds for both. The pGr-
chaser of the wool said that these
were the biggest heeces on record
seen by him in his % years exper-
fence III buying wool. At the time
they were sheared their owner was
offered S24 for the two. The follow
ing year these sheep had lambs and
in 1907, the combined fireces of the
four weighed 81 pounds, and The wool
OF the four was Sold Tor thitty cents ii

Mailing Batting Hard as Well
as Playing Fast Field
ing Game.

The weather pitcher used his damp
fling with startling consistency yester-
day and today. Only one game was
played in the Eastern League yester-
day, the Grays besting the Beavers in
that contest. The Tigers and the Maple
Leafs stood by and watched the rain
fall this morning. and at moor Mama
gers S~tallings and Kelly decided not to
trA conclusions today. This makes two
pc Stponed games to be played off later
in the season.
Manager Stallings expects Carisch to
join the Tigers in Buffalo, and before he
returns to Newark he also expects to
have his team complete.
Mahling's excellent showing, both in
the field and at the bat, is a surprise
to Manager Stallings. The Kid is field
ing in wonderful style, despite a serious
misplay now and then. which results
from overanxiety to make a play. At
the stick the Kid is in the charmed cir
Gle. clouting now at 1903.

krichell, Mueller and Mailing, is show
ing up exceptionally well. Mueller will

Bright Sunshine the Only Thing
Wanted by Manager
Stallings.
BY OLD SPORT.

I am not much of a hand talking to
the lady fans, but I lave been asked
to sayNto them that tomorrow will be
their day down at the park and that
all the money they will need is carfare
and enough to make the candy butcher
boy happy. Any sea- in the grand
stand is free to them and they pay
nothing at the gate. Are ladies' inter-
ested in baseball? Well, Kiddo, 1 wish
you would get off half a day and take
a run down to the baseball park and
just watch Newark's best womanhood
gather in their best Sunday go-to-
meetings and applaud the Tigers
whenever they fall on the opposing
pitcher for a base hit. They are just
as fanatical in their baseball beliefs
as the most doctrinal male fan. There
is a story connected with this lady day
crowd that started IA ago down
South.
There the game had fallen by the
wayside owing to the color prejudice
existing. The teams in certain parts
of the South were made UP of the two
races, whites and blacks, and the
Southern women rebelled and would
never go to a game.
Manager Stallfngs saw a chance to
overcome this, and he and Charley
Dooley, now of the Utica team in the
New York State League, bought the
Nashville team and started right in to
have every team in the league COM
posed of white men,. This innovation
worked like a harm and the women
came out in droves and their presence
uplifted the game to a high plane.
Ladies' day in the South was just like
a circus day in the North. Everybody
turned out.
When Stallings went to Buffalo some
years later, he found that the game was
not being noticed by the fair sex. n
he started in to get them to %patronize
1t. Before the season was very far adj
vanced, Manager Stallings had the
pleasure of seeing from 5000 to 1000
women turn out every ladies' day. He
expects to see this many at his games
here. Every Friday will be free for THE
women. He has started carpenters to
work making a sitting room for the
ladies' under the grand stand. There
will be a lady in attendance at all the
games, who will also see hat the lady
patrons are well taken care of, and
where they car adjust their hats during
or after the game. This will be one of
the special features for the ladies, and
no doubt the Newark women will take
advantage of this kindly consideration
of the management.
With a crowd of ladies on hand at a
ball game, the players seem to put more
ginger into the game, and there is
never any fear of any player forgetting
himself on the field, for he knows that
his sweetheart or sister or even mother
may be seated in the stand. and he al
ways carries this thought in his every
play.
1t will only be a few weeks and ladies'

PRINCETON PUTS
UP ERRORLESS
GAME AND WINS
Nassau Boys Hang 1t on SYRIA
Cuse to the Tune of
10 to l..

PRINCETON, May 7.-Playing in a
drizzle and on a soggy field, the Prince
ton team put up an errorless game
against the Syracuse nine yesterday
afternoon and rolled. up the overwhelm-
ing total of Is runs in the seven-inning
game.
The visitors scored run in the
fifth period, after one of the two hits
that they were able to gather. Hey
niger started the game in the Prince
ton box and did not allow a hit, while
he struck out eight of the New York
ers.
The visitors did not show a flash of
the splendid form that held Princeton
down to 3 to 2 on their home diamond
last Friday. On the contrary, nine
errors were chalked up against them,
and two Of their twirlers were knocked
out of the box.
Heyniger amply demonstrated his
ability to control the slippery ball, but
he surrendered the mound to Clark in
the fifth. as it is likely that he will
face the Mercersburg batters tomorrow.
The score:

find that they are the best players
There are ball players today who could
stop in their play and enter upon an
honorable career. Lawyers, doctors,
dentists, civil engineers and even thes-
plans are to be found on many baseball
teams.
You might ask how these successful
men found time to do this stunt. 1t is
not so hard. Every man to be sue
cessful in any branch of business, and
baseball is a business, must have a
strong will. He must be capable of
governing his desires so that he
neglects nothing that will tend to
make him successful in his profession.
Any man who neglects to take good
care of himself will of necessity neglect
his business affairs. The successful
ball players of today are the men who
lest 10 opportunity to advance them
selves when they had a chance. In
stead of burning the candle on both
ends, they burned their oil judiciously,
and, while their companions romped
around into the late hours of the nights.
these men l mean saw to it that they
did something useful for their future.
There r men playing ball today who
could lay aside their baseball toys and
take their place in the business world
and with money enough to insure them
against all competition, no matter what
line they might enter.
Their Future Is Bright.
Such men as I refer to have a bright
career ahead of them. There is Ned
Hanlon, who is a baseball magnate
and who for years drew a salary as
large as the President of the United
States. He started as a ball player.
He had a good head and he saved his
non and today he is above all fear
of want and so is his family. Ger
tainly this is enough of a reward for
any man. Take Hans Wagner. You
hear all sorts of stories about his
starting out in baseball. There is only
n story and that is the right one.
Bill Mckee, who is now the owner of
a couple of playhouses in the South,
is the man who brought out Wagner.
He and Ned Barrows bought the Pat
erson baseball club in the old Atlantic
League and both had been living in
Pittsburg before coming to Jersey as
baseball magnates. Wagner was play
ing lot ball at Carnegie and Mckee
went out after him. He found him
back of his home with a gang of kids
and there and then signed Hans up to
play for the Patersons at a salary of
$50 a month. You know how much
Wagner is worth today. He has prop
erty in and outside of Pittsburg worth
Something like $4,000 in reality, be-
sides a fat bank account. Hans could
quit the game today and do nothing
but collect his rent, like "Wee" Willie
Keeler, of the Hi~ghlanders. There is
a future for every man, even for a
