FOR CARE OF
INDOOR PLANTS IN WINTER

that water is not left standing in the bot
tom of such jars. for. should the pots be
permitted to remain in 1t, continual wet
ness will infallibly cause rot. Every other
day the fancy holder must be looked into
and any water II contains poured of.
When this condition has existed the pot
will not require more water that day. for
the root is already damp.
A good rule for watering is. each day to
pour over as much water as the soil will
soak up. Any that runs through into the
saucer may be rejected later.
AS to the temperature for plants, 1t
must be even. They require air, but a
cold wind blowing directly on them will
kill. and it is extremely probable that IL
the thermometer is allowed to fall to a
marked degree in the room the growth
will perish. even though the draught may
not have been a direct one. The ordi-
nary steam heated room is an impossible
place for plants, because the tempera-
ture Is kept at an unhealthy degree.
Persons might really regulate the heat
for themselves by that In which house
plants nourish-if 1t agrees with flowers
1t is apt to be correct for them. If 1t be-
comes necessary to change the tempera-
ture at night the pots must be removed
and not returned in the morning until the
air has become that to which the plants
are accustomed.

1t is a constant source of establishment
to those who know anything of the matter
that so many women give absolutely no
attention to their brows, and then wonder
that the lines are not pretty. 1t is not
enough that they are washed with the
face. Brushing and stimulating treat
ment must follow. If a person would rub
the lines carefully several times through
the day, stroking them in the direction
which the hair should grow, the brows
would improve. but rarely do they vouch-

COBB WORKING TO 0UTD0 WAGNER

secret of "Ty" Cobb's winter ball
playing is out. 1t is because ''fy'
intends to make himself Hans
Wagner's superior in every de-
partment before Hans quits the
game.
Sounds funny, doesn't it?
The following from a letter
written a friend by Cobb explains
all:
There may be some glory in
being called the next best player
in the world, but / don't like It,.
AS long as l am SO near the top
l see no reason why l should not
be at the top. l am young, and

and it won't be my fault II l do
not do that. If l don't become
champion ball-player before Wag-
ner quits everybody will say:
Well, he wouldn't be there il old
Honus was in the game.
This explains why, when Ty
was managing the Eddys here, he
pitched many games, played first
base part of the time, caught on
several occasions, and switched
all around the infield. He would
still be playing winter ball here
IL his wife had not become seri-
|ously i'll.
So watch out next season for a

tween "Ty" and Honus.

And 1t did.
By Addie joss.

How many times is pitcher
asked: who decides what you
are to pitch to the batter, the
catcher or the pitcher?"
Always comes the answer: "The
catcher" The next question the
fan usually asks is: do you al
ways pitch what the pad artist
calls for?"
The fans seems to take 1t for
granted that either the pitcher OF
his receiver depend on the other
mans Judgment as to the proper
thing to hand the batter.
The fact is, they always work
together. The catcher will call
for a certain ball, and if in the
pitchers Judgment another kind
would do better, he shakes his
head.

In reality the pitcher acts on
his own judgment, because he is
the man trying to deceive the
batter. This holds good especial
ly when the man in the box is a
player of experience.
Many times when players have
explained this the question arises,
How does the catcher know what
you want to pitch, after you have
shaken your head?"
The answer is simplicity itself.
Among players there are but two
things a pitcher is called upon to
pitch. They are designated as
fast ball and curve ball. This may
seem surprising to the initiated,
who hear about the wonderful
and numerous curves possessed by
the twirlers.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-02-10

When a catcher calls upon his
battery mate for a curve ball he
is set to catch any kind of a curve
his pitcher may decide to pitch.
He can tell, knowing a curve
ball is coming, when the ball
leaves the pitchers hand, just
about how much of a break it will
take.
If the ball Is thrown directly
|oyer-handed it takes a drop, while
liz 1t is pitched side arm, the ball
will follow what is generally
known as the outcurve.
That is why, among the players,
there is no such thing as the in
curve. What the general public
terms an inshoot is nothing more
than a fast ball that has enough
lspeed to make ii break a trifle.
1t Is thrown with all the speed
at the command of the twirler,
and is allowed to slip out over the
lends of the fingers. The break II
takes never causes the catcher
any trouble, and is not termed a
lcurve ball.
A catcher may sometimes cal
for a slow ball, but not because
he is afraid of being crossed. His
Judgment tells him this will foo
the batter, and he is imparting his
hunch to the pitcher.
