HANK O'DAY MAY BE
BIG LEAGUE MANAGER

CHICAGO, November 4.-Umpire Hand
O'Day is being mentioned as likely to be-

next year. During the season just closed

time.
Last night Hank admitted that he would
be a manager next season, but declined to

Cardinals. 1t has been declared many
times that McCloskey would be separated
from the managerial berth of the Car
dinals. Owner Stanley Robson is seid to
regard McCloskey as great discoverer OF
young players and Is willing to make him
a scout of the club.
All sorts of stories have come out OF
Cincinnati regarding Gansel. He was pop

the Reds were up, but lost much Of his
popularity when the Cincinnati team
slumped and finally settled in the second
division.
O'Day has for years been looked upon
as one Of the best umpires in the business.
He is usually selected as the National
League umpire in the worlds champions

Franklin field yesterday afternoon In
preparation for the Lafayette game. Since
the return of the Penn players from Pitts
burg the work of the varsity has been far

signs Of a slump.
Coach Brooke continued to drill the
punters in the early part of the after
noon and both Capt. Hollenback and
Means booted the pigskin in beautiful
style. Hollenback's punts were of the
spiral variety. and 1t Is along these lines
that Means is lacking. Coach Brooke

A TRAGEDY,

A hotel proprietor in Kansas City
once told of an amusing incident con-
nected with the stay at his house of
rural politician of Missouri.
The politician had come to the hotel
for but one day, and he had taken his
dinner elsewhere with friend. When,
on coming to pay his bill, he found
himself charged with days board
dinner and all, he protested vigorous
ly. 1t was explained to him that the
American plan was based strictly on
time, and that II he chose to eat else
where it was his own lookout. The
man, however, refused to be pacified,
and paid the bill under protest. Then,
to every ones surprise, he asked If
dinner were still on" Upon being
informed that 1t lasted until 8 in the
evening, he exclaimed:
"I've eaten one dinner, but Pm go
ing to get my moneys worth out Of
this house, if suffer all the torments
of dyspepsia"
He then rushed into one Of the dim
ing rooms, seized a bill of fare, and
ordered everything he could think of.
When he finally reached his limit, the
waiter handed him a check for $685.
Whats that for?"
"Your dinner. sir"
but have already paid for my din
ner in my bill, protested the unfort'
innate man. a am staying here on the
American plan"
"Then you should have gone into
the other dining room" said the walt
er. This is the European plan cafe, "

FARM AND HOME.
The Farm Machinery.

A great deal of money is wasted
every year in replacing machinery
that is worn out OF disabled before its
time. Rust and neglect probably in
jure more machinery than labor
wears. A manufacturer is said TO
have asserted that farmers would not
buy more than half the present
amount OF machinery II they took
proper care of what they have.
A common cause OF damage is ig-
norance OF the parts of the machine
and how to adjust them for best
working conditions. A machine not
in first-rate condition will often con-
tinue in operation, but at the expense
OF strain and damage to the parts OF
the mechanism, causing a break down
sooner or later, besides requiring
great deal more power in operation.
The simple need of frequent oiling
is neglected. Said mechanic: ION
is the cheapest machinery we have,
1t is certainly cheaper than buying
new machine. A little observation
will soon discover which parts OF the
machine require most frequent oiling,
and these should receive special care
In some machines 1t happens that
parts that need oiling are not easy to
get at, with the result that neglect
follows, until something happens, In
moving and harvesting machines the
holes which admit oil to bearings of,
ten become clogged and the oil fails
to penetrate where 1t will do the most
good.-American Cultivator.

A FIJI Rainfall.

The astonishing effects sometimes
produced by cloudbursts are well
known, but not many trustworthy
records of the depth OF the rainfall
during such occurrences exist. The

sesses much interest. On August 6,
1906, during a thunderstorm in the
Fill Islands. the measured depth OF
the rainfall In a gauge elevated TWEEN
ty-five feet above the ground was
three feet and one inch. The rain
continued thirteen hours. and owing
