COLOR LINE is DRAWN
I'm ORGANIZED BASEBALL
Negroes Allowed to Break Into All
Sports with White Man Except
in National Game.

The color line is practically a myth
in all branches of sport except profess
sional baseball. Several times stars
of the diamond have attempted to
break into the minor and big leagues,
but their identity has been discovered
in each instance.
Muggsy McGraw once tried to get
tryout for a colored player by the
name of Grant. He tied some Indian
name onto the gentleman of color, but
the player never got a chance to show
in Baltimore. Barney Joy, the pitcher
secured by Boston from the Pacific
Coast league, was said to be colored
man, but such is not the case as he
was born in the Hawaiian islands.
RUDE Foster, who plays with the Lee
land Giants, is considered as great a
pitcher as RUDE Waddell. He is a
southpaw with Waddell physique
and assortment of curves, and would
be star in fast company if it wasn't
for the shade of his complexion. Eos
ter is of such dusky hue that no
manager has ever tried to ring him in.
Two of Harvard's best athletes have
been colored fellows. Matthews, one
of the greatest shortstops in the his
tory of the college, and Lewis, the best
center Harvard ever had, were col
ored.
Maj. Taylor for many years ruled SUI
preme as one of the greatest bicycle
riders in the country. All the white
riders worked against him, but Taylor
managed to win many first place.
Perhaps the greatest runner in the
history of the University of Pennsyl
vania is TAYLOR. a colored boy, who
is working hard to get an education.
He holds the Penn record for a quar-.
ter of mile, 40 LIS seconds.
Joe Cans is conceded by all critics
to be one of the greatest lightweights
in the history of the ring. Battling
Nelson is really the only white op-
ponent who ever made him extend
himself. John Johnson holds a prom
inent position among the heavyweight
fighters and is shortly to meet Tommy
Burns.
Thus it will be seen that the colored
man is able to break into all sports
and be on an equal footing with the
white man except in organized base
ball

COBB SIGNS WITH DETROIT
Ex-Mayor codd Brings Together
Player and Owner.

After everybody had abandoned
hope Ty Cobb signed a contract with
the Detroit Baseball club at. Detroit
the other day. The document calls
for only one year of service and its
terms were not made public.
Earlier in the day the player and
President Navin had fruitless two.
hour talk, after which they parted.
Cobb received a check for his ex-
penses in coming to Detroit and
packed his grip with the intention of
going east to sign with Arthur Irwin
for the Washington club of the "out-
law" league. He missed his train.
Cobb went back to the hotel for din
ner, and there ex-Mayor George p.
Codd met him. Codd is a close friend
of Cobb and also of President Navin,
and made an appeal for one more con-
ference. Navin was found and the ex-
mayor said many earnest words to
the club owner and dissatisfied player.
The result was that Cobb withdrew
the demand for three-year contract,
on which he had insisted as IL 1t
were matter of life and death, and
Navin made some concession which lie
secret between player and employ.

san get out of the game any time he
wants to and make a nice salary.
Plank has several times threatened to
give up baseball, and Mack knows
that Plank isn't a fellow who makes
threats and fails to make good.
During the winter months Plank is
regular farmer. He owns big
farm at place called Seven Stars,
just outside of Philadelphia, and puts
in the cold months making it payer.
1t is understood that the county COM
missioners intend to change the name
of the place to Eight Stars, because
Eddie has become so famous.
Throughout the winter he handles
the big milk route, having a fine line
of customers, who never complain
about the short measure or the
amount of water used in charging
the supply. Eddie says he's in great
shape, as he arises at three in the
morning in order to get around to all
his customers before the call to break
fast.
Plank intended coaching Gettys-
burg college, where he first won fame
as a pitcher, but now that Mack has
come across with the coin demanded
his alma mater must look for an
other instructor in baseball.
While the Athletics would have
gotten along without Plank, the addi-
ton of the clever southpaw to Mack S
pitching staff makes the club look
much better.

Ancient Egyptians.

Brownsville, Pa-This little viii
burg, was visited by a lot of scientific
looking people the other day, each OF
whom visited the undertaking rooms
of j. P. Ross, whose mummy is now
attracting such wide attention. Among
the visitors were two who had been
sent by the Carnegie museum at Pitts
burg. Every one insisted on feeling
the face of Jimmy as the mummy
has been named, and, after contact
with the hard, cold features, each went

was looked for in the pyramids, GER

to the average undertaken.
Il have received many offers for my
secret for my Jimmy but guess we
old boys will stick together" said
Ross, as he affectionately stroked the
face of the man who was killed here
seven weeks ago. Jimmy and l have
been working out a problem which
but the answer was mislaid. 1 think
have solved it. / believe I have at
last found the secret of embalming
bodies so that they will keep for many
years. Anyway, / am SO certain that
1 don't care to dispose of my secret

mankind. If I'm wrong there will be

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with 'The
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of abb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send testing outfit free to
any one interested.

frequently to steady herself by grasp

ment ran it into my leg, which then
swelled and began to break out. The

TRADES TILL HE'S NAKED.
Victim of Swapping Mania Forced to
Wear an Empty Barrel.

Taunton, Mass.-L. c. Scrivens met
with half dozen travelling traders on
the outskirts of the town the other
night They wanted to swap horses,
and he started in.
From horses down to clothes they
traded, and when they got through
Scrivens went to neighboring house
and borrowed an empty barrel to
clothe his nakedness in for the two
mile walk through town to the police
station.
After Scrivens told his tale the pc.
lice fitted him out with blue clothes
to get home, and then they went down
and arrested the traders. They got
back for Scrivens horse, watch,
SIS in money, and all the clothes that
a man wears.

would dearly have loved to accompany
my husband when he repaired the Mel
son column. 1t is not very often that
he gets work as near home as Allan
smokestack, and so when my little
boy, Willie, came home from school
we went down to watch the work.
Then 1 was suddenly seized with
the old craving to climb, too. My hus-
band put me into the steeplejack's
seat, and up went. Willie had gone
a few minutes before with his father,
but 60 feet was considered enough for
him.
Eat this height my husband sug-
gested my returning to the ground,
too, but by this time l was enthusiast
tic to mount higher. l suppose the
sensation Is something similar to what
one would experience in balloon.
Gradually everything and every
body got smaller; the men calling
their goods on the pavement, the
women hanging out their wash
ing in the yards, the motor cars
rushing down the Mile End road.
The sensation Of steadily rising was
splendid. Then l reached the top.
That was the only part 1 didn't like.
While the cradle was in motion il
was delightful, but once it became sta
tionary my one idea was to get down
again.

defy any woman to. Even if they
were in mems dress (Which would be
imperative for safety's sake) no wom-
an could be steeplejack. She could

is now as hard as marble. Anyone
who doubts this can investigate, as I
have nothing secret except my fluid,
which l make myself, and which
secret will be kept in my family. The
body is in better shape than when it
was carried in here, limp and lifeless,
seven weeks ago. 1t has been looked
at by scores of physicians, and they
are all of this opinion"
Ross was one of the first under
takers of the country to find that
chloride of zinc would not do we'll as
an ingredient Of embalming fluid, as
it had tendency to make the bodies
copper colored. Some years since he
substituted another ingredient to use
with formaldehyde in embalming, and
met with such good results that he de-
cided to go further with a test which
he had figured out many years before.
1t has been eight months since he
completed his test and was ready for
the human body in which to make his
great test, but he had difficulty in Sc.
curing one.
One of the Pittsburg hospitals of
fered to allow him to use its labora-
tory, and would furnish body if the
hospital were allowed to share in the
discovery, but this Ross refused to
consider, as he wanted the secret for
his very own.
When the unknown man was killed
near his place, seven weeks ago, Ross
got the body, and found that there was
not a break on the almost perfect
corpse. There were no claimants, and
In a few weeks time Ross sent word
to the coroner Of Washington county
that he was about to make an impor-
tant scientific test and he wanted tho
body for his very own. The coroner
gave him the permission asked, and
has himself been an interested spec
tator at many of the injections.
Ross said that he would spend his
last cent now to keep any relative
from claiming the body, as he has pu.
his whole life's work into it. 1t would
be an easy thing for any relative to
identify the body, as the face is most
ufelike.
