OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
BASEBALL YARNS.
The Fine Points of Baseball.

Hugh S. Fullerton. the baseball
expert. who is writing a series of
articles for the American Magazine.
says. in the May number. by way of
Introduction:
Almost any spectator at a major
league bail game will tell you: oh,
understand baseball yet in every
game hundreds OF moves are made
and orders issued and obeyed, all
with exact purpose, and scientific in
tent that not one In a thousand sees
or realizes. The game has made
such wonderful advances scientific
ally, and the membership and team
work have become so involved and
complicated that the lover of the
game. even one who attends scores Of
games each season, rarely sees or un-
derstands the fine points OF the game,
or knows how, or why a play is made
even after 1t is successfully COM
pleted.
Every catcher and pitcher in the
Big League knows 10 an inch how
far each base runner may leave any
base and get back safely. A catcher
will throw to catch Miller Higgins,
of Cincinnati, for instance. when he
leaves firt base over twelve feet while
he will let Fred Clarke, of Pitts
burgh, take sixteen, even eighteen
feet, without making throw with
intent to catch him. II he throws, ii
is to drive Clarke back, and keep him
from getting too great start. Every
infielder, at least, knows just how
certain men will make a play and
turn their play accordingly. For in
lstance, with Wagner on first and
Tommy Leach on third, every catcher
| in the National league throws to
third II Pittsburgh attempts a double
steal because 1t is well-known fact
that Leach. in other respects a good
base runner. will come through with
the play that Is. II the catcher
makes a motion as IL to throw to
second base and then whips IL TO
third Leach will make a false start
for the plate and be caught. In the
last season Chicago defeated Pitts
burgh three times because, with
either Wagner or Clarke on first,
Leach was caught on third on exactly
the same play. Each man must
know whether Mike Donlin pulls
fast ball or not. whether or not he
hits a curve to left He must know
mat Fred Clarke Is the only left
handed batter in the game who can
hit left-handed pitchers curve ball
hard-and a thousand other pol1 3
OF similar nature.
Besides knowing those things the
team must play, as a whole. so as to
cover every inch of ground possible,
and, by moving away and vacating
parts OF the field where a batter is
unlikely to hit, they can defend the
remainder with much greater success.
A 'right-feld hitter-one who swings
late at the ball or pulls his body away
from the plate. seldom is a good bat
ter. He may hit the ball Just as
squarely and just as hard as a free
hitter but the field into which he
hits the ball is much better covered
and the likelihood Of the ball falling
safe much lessened.'

the session OF the United Presbyterian
general assembly, which convenes in

cussed for the union OF the Presby-

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A YOUNG MAN KILLS wIFE AND

Among The Dead Mans Effects Was q Note That Clearly shows That
 The Act Was Pre- medltated.

Charlotte. N. C.. Jan. s1-Evidentiy enraged because she. would not return with him to Atlanta, or surrender their seventeen months old child, Edward A. Mixer intercepted his young wife on street of fashionable residence section of Wilmington this evening and shot her twice and then turning the pistol to his own head, blew out his brains.
 Mrs. Niger died two hours later at hospital. Mixer was dead before by- islanders could reach him.
 The young woman, yet in her teens, was on her way to Sunday School. when her husband met her and began remon-' strating with her about their child.
 A moment later three shots rang out. Both fell to the sidewalk gasping for breath and remained there for some time before their identity was estab- Iished. Among Mixers effects was a note that clearly shows that the act was premeditated. The note read:
 "A woman with the disposition my wife has got is not worthy of the breath of life. I done this act for TO- venge, though 1t is costing me my life. [ would not let my baby be raised up in such mess as she is now in.

TWO vr,ssEI.s LOST IN LAKE PONT-
 CHARTRAIN.
Tt ia Beileyed That the Two Vessels sunk Were the Ramsey and fhe Wilhelm--Crew
 Ha Lost.

2 New orleans La, Jan. 31.--A report has just reached here that schooner went down late today in Lake Font chartrain, few miles otfLittle Woods. a small town twelve miles northeast or New Orleans and that the entire crew of several men were lost.
 It is believed that the vessel whlch is reported sunk, is the Ramsey, one- masted schooner plying between points on Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Borgne and the Mississippi Sound
 Owing to the fact that all wires 10 points on the Lake shore nearby are down and because of the inaccessibtl- itx of these places, 1t has thus far been impossible to gather any details of the happening or to absolutely veri- fly the reports.
 It is now reported also that tho schooner Wilhelm vessel of about the same size as the Ramsey, has gone down in Lake Pontchartrain.
 For the past three days, the compara- a- lively shallow waters of Lakes Font ohartrain and Borgne have been whip ned to fury by the high winds which have swept down from the North, and At Is not improbable that even more damage than reported may have res suited.
