without windows anG the rooms are
divided off from one another by slid
ing partitions, generally covered with
rice paper. These can be slid back,
SO that all Of the house can be made,
practically, into one room, or they
can be subdivided as wished. The
Japanese sleep on the floor, and in
stead OF you going to bed they bring
the bed to you. This consists of heavy
quilts called futons. Some have wide
sleeves in them like a kimona. When
you, retire in the evening, you put
your arms through these just like
putting on a dressing gown back
wards. The beds are not uncomfort-
able, as they generally have quite
little covering and the mating is
soft, but / could not recommend the
pillows, as the one that l had con-
sisted OF roll, something like the
bolster, except that it it was only
about eight inches long and was
st uffed with hair. They had an an
noying habit of slipping out from be-
meath q PERSONS neck, and in the
morning he was likely to arise with a
feeling that he must have done con
siderable "rubbering' the day be-
fore to make the neck feel the way it
did.
Before entering a Japanese resi-
dence you must remove your shoes.
hence the style they wear is very con-
yenient, but OF course for US Ameri-
cans, it was an uncomfortable Gus
tom. In Japan, it would be just as
:mpolite to go into a residence with
your shoes on, as'it would be here to
enter the parlor without removing
your hat. In fact, in a great many
OF the stores also, shoes are removed
by the natives. but foreigners are not
compelled to comply with the Gus tom.
Even the children of Japan must
take care of the smaller ones, and it
is very common sight to see q bunch
of children at play, each of whom has
strapped to his or her back, young
er one. The little legs of the child
are tied to the back of the older one,
and string passed tight under the
arms which meets and ties in front of
the breast of the person carrying
them. The little one faces forward,
instead of back, as in the case with
the American papoosc, and some say
this is symtolical-that the Indian
race is going backwards while the
japanese are always going forward.
The climax, we think, was reached
with little boy mounted on stills,
who was running up and down steps
and carrying child on his back.
The children all seemed happy and
contented, and the little ones were
often seen asleep while their elders
played at games. Would you think

140 GAMES FOR THREE-I
Minor League Decides on 1910 Seized.
uIe and Changes In tho Con.
stitution.

The Three-1 league will play a 40.
game schedule, with four Jumps, dur
ing the coming season. This was de-
cided at the meeting of the league
held recently at the Palmer house.
May was set as the probable open
Ing date. Only skeleton draft of the
dates was made, the official drawing
up Of the schedule being left to Will
son Boring of Decatur. The schedule
will be submitted to a mail vote when
prepared.
1t was decided that the receipts Of
holiday games would be pooled, as in
the past, and that any new club seek
ing a franchise would have to pay
$1,000 in addition to one-eighth of the
money in the league treasury. New
cities seeking membership also must
have regular organization, a ball
plant and balance in the club treas
ury of $4,000. It was agreed that in
the future money will be returned to
patrons when four and a half innings
have not been played. In the past the
fans were considered to have re-
ceived their moneys worth in three
innings.

Worcester club of the New England
league. Blackburn played under Jesse
Burkett for one year, 1908, during
which Connie Mack forgot about the
slip he had planted, because he had
so many others he didn't know what
to do.
Duffy bought Blackburn for bis
Providence team last year, and by the
time Mack discovered how we'll his
find had developed he learned that
Comiskey and Barney Dreyfuss we're
scrapping for the player, with no
chance for his sponsor to cut in. To
get the promising shortstop the Sox
magnate was obliged to dig pretty
deeply into his pocket, and promise
to give Providence Mike Welday and
Jake ATT in addition. Blackburn
swatted for .273 in 121 games, and led
the regular shortstops of the Eastern
league in fielding.

RECRUIT THIS YEAR.

There's going to be lot OF disap-
pointment II Russell Blackburn
doesn't make good for the sox this
year. Charlie Comiskey. owner OF tho
Chicago American league team, went
down pretty deep into his pocket for
Blackburn and gave two players. Jake
Atz and Mike Welday to boot.
Hugh Duffy. manager OF the Sox,
says Blackburn is the goods. He had
the youngster on his team at Provi'
dence last year and hasn't stopped
praising the shortstop. Duffy ought
to know a good player. for none was
better than he when he was in har-
ness, and he has had enough expert
ence as a manager to tell man who
ought to make good. Since Freddie
Parent fell down on the shortstop Job
the Sox haven't had good man for
the place. and 1t has been weak
spot in the lineup. Duffy declares
Blackburn will fill the gap.
To the casual patron Of the Sox
games last year 1t seemed that what
Comiskey needed more than anything
was hitters The team was weak
with the bat. Comiskey admitted 1t
himself. Duffy thinks Blackburn will
not only be there with the goods when
1t comes to covering short. but will
furnish some hitting that will help the
team. There is no more popular mag
nate in the business than Comiskey.

Most Of the National and American
league baseball teams are now in
training. BY st. Patrick's day every
team will be at work getting ready for
the 1910 season. Pittsburg, the
champions of the world, will not go
into camp until March IA. Two days
later the Boston teams will start
training and then all will be at work.
All of the others are now on the
ground and the managers are looking
over the recruits. The Chicago White
Sox went to California on special
train. President Comiskey and Man
ager Duffy have a large squad Of
youngsters and expect to obtain from
the bunch a world beating team. The
Sox will play large number of ex.

MAROON GAMES FOR 1910
Stage Fixes up the List Of Football
Dates and Honors Old
Friends.

Coach A. Alonzo Stage has honored
his old gridiron friends by placing
them on his 1910 football schedule to
the exclusion OF the numerous out
siders that tried to get Maroon con-
tests. The list Of games follows:
Oct. S-1ndiana at Marshall field.
Oct. 15-lllinois at Urbana.
Oct. 22-Northwestern at Marshall
field
Oct. 29-Minnesota at Marshall
field.
Nov. 6-Purdue at Marshall field.
Nov. 12-Cornell at Marshall field.
Nov. 19-Wisconsin at Madison.
The 1910 Maroon schedule is almost
duplicate Of last seasons program.
The same schools will appear against
the Midway warriors in practically
the same order. the chief difference
being that the Maroons will have
seven straight games on successive
Saturdays without the usual holiday
between two big battles.
Coach Stage declared his schedule
was tentative, but there is no chance
of any change, 1t is believed at the
Midway. The only tentative feature
is that the board Of control is WITH
holding its approval until it has
chance to act on the new football
rules, and Coach Stage is certain that
the 1910 rule book will receive the
sanction of the faculty and that the
dates will become Official

If reports are true, AID Wolgast the
new champion of the lightweights, has
started out to out-Nelson Nelson. The
Dane always was after the money. He
had to be guaranteed the lions share
any time he started. Before he would
agree to fight Wolgast, the Dane had
to be guaranteed $4,000, share in
the picture money, and $500 for train
ing expenses. Nelson got more mon
ey than did Joe Cans. every time he
fought the negro.
Now comes Wolgast with the dec
laration that he must be guaranteed
$4,000 before he will fight any Of
the top notchers AS champion, VOL
CAST has the right to dictate terms to
a certain extent, but it is hardly prob.
able that he will find any promoter
who will guarantee him 100000 for
his end. II Wolgast insists upon such
terms it is probable that it will he a
long time before he will be seen In
the ring. Just now he is making $1,000
a week on the stage. Let him get all
that kind of money he can. The 9th
ers always have done It, and 1t Is
proper that the lad should reap the
fruits of his victory over Nelson.

back and failed. Harry Forbes. for.

friends thought Harry was right
again, but when the Chicagoan
stacked up against his old enemy. Abe
Attell, he found that it was only a
flash in the pan, and his fighting days
were numbered.

real thing in training. Bob Arm,
strong, the big negro who has been a
punching bag for Jehries before, Is
in the training camp and ready to
maui Jim and take mauling him
self. Corbett will not join Jetfries un-
til a month before July 1, and will
then train the big fellow for speed.
