Handicapped by the loss OF his right
arm, yet able to field an average OF
1856 and bat $50, Is the remarkable
performance OF George Ely. an anna
teur baseball player OF Los Angeles
Cal Ely is lightning fielder and
plays his position, second base, as well
as one with both arms. For the past
seven years he has been in baseball.
He Travelled with the Sioux Indian
team during its tour through the state
Of Washington, and, although he went
against many classy players, he has
yet TO find one who can beat him. In
addition TO being crack second base
man, Ely can also pitch.
Ely thinks that a one armed man,
while handicapped to certain degree,
should be as good a player as one with
both arms. He says that man loses
time transferring the ball from his
right TO his left hand, which he would
not do II he caught and threw the ball
with the same hand.

Snow as a purifier.

The value OF snow as a cleanser OF

that few persons besides those who

about II. When fiocculent or faky

Of physics. Snownakes, therefore, act

Flower Enemies

certain flowers have great dislike for
each other. For instance, if you will
make up bouquet containing. among
other flowers. roses and mignonettes,
and place the bouquet In vase for

other flowers remain perfectly fresh.
the roses and mignonettes have wilted

Lilies OF the valley also kill without

On the contrary. carnations and
