A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
Ct Painting Requirements Will Save
Much Expense.

When one sees the surface of q
house or other building scaling, or
peeling, or spotted or blistered, or
showing .ther symptoms of paint dis
ease," it is evident that a poor painter
has been on the job, and that poor
paint was used-or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint.
1t is an easy matter to be informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, including book Of
color schemes, either for exterior or
specifications for all kinds
of painting,-and an instrument for
detecting adulteration in paint ma
terial, with directions for using it,
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg.
New York City, and asking for House.
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
Then, every houseowner should
make it point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. The famous
Dutch Boy Painter" trademark Of
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of pure white lead, is an alb
solute guarantee of the purity and
quality Of the white lead sold under
1t. That trademark Is a safeguard
against paint trouble.

FIELDER JONES STAR PASS
RECEIVER in THE MAJORS
Ex-White Sox Manager Received 1902
Free Trips to First Base
Last Season.

Fielder Jones, late boss of the Chi
cago White Stockings, was the leading
pass receiver in the American league
last season, being the one athlete in
major league baseball who pried from
the pitchers more than 100 free trips
to the starting cushion. The Oregon
timber king got 102 complimentaries,
of which eight were of the Red Cross
variety. Jones, while working the
pitchers for transportation oftener
than any other player in the Johnson
organization, did not excel all his
rivals in reaching first bases on balls
Hartsel, the Athletics tow-haired
guardian of left field, had SO passes
handed to him. The keenness of
"Topsy's" batting eye is shown by the
fact that not once was he hit by a
pitched ball.
The left fielders of the Johnson
league sure were a patient lot, pos.
sessed of keen vision. Matty McIn.
tyre, left fielder of the Detroit Tigers,
drew SO complimentaries, and Josh
Clarke, who played the same position
for the Maps, got SS. These two inch
ranked third and fourth in the list of
pitcher worriers. George Stone of st.
Louis wendell his way to first through
the generosity of the fingers SO times,
Patsy Dougherty of Chicago grabbed
off 81 free tickets and Bob Ganley of
Washington 40. Six of the American
leagues left fielders, therefore, had
446 handouts. That's just Ill more
than the entire Highland team was
| able to get.
The New York Highlanders garnered
| fewer gifts than any other team in the
| American league. Their nearest rivals
were the champion Tigers, who did
not have to wait and knew how to hit
| The White Sox were the cleveresi
collection of pass collectors, the Sena
tors next. The Maps ranked third, the
Athletics fourth, the Bostons fifth and
the st. Louis Browns sixth. All told
| the American league pitchers passed
2,S77 athletes and hit 9S4 players, as
| follows:
