Dogs Of Luxury.

The appearance Of little dogs as OBJ
jects Of luxury goes back to the most
ancient times. Documents are not
wanting that go to show that Greek
and Roman women had little dogs
which were idolized by their mistress
es. Even men, particularly among for
eigners, were not ashamed to walk the
streets Of Rome with pet dogs under
their arms. Speaking Of this subject,
Plutarch relates that julius Caesar,
seeing one day In Rome some strangers
thus loaded with their dogs, asked
them ironically whether the women Of
their country did not bear children.
Tertia, the daughter of Lucius Aure-
lius Paulus, was so fond of her dog
that in the moment of bidding farewell
TO her father, who was about to leave
his country and his family to wage
war against Perseus. king of Macedo-
MIA, she frankly admitted that the sad
ness imprinted on her face was due to
the death of her pet dog Persa. In
Europe the greyhounds were the first
favorites of women during the middle
ages.-Boston Post.

Made the Most of His Hats.

When Lord Miluer held his first re
ception at Pretoria the officers and
legislators were given to understand
that frock coats and tall hats were ex
pected Of them. There was only one
shop In the place In which silk hats
were sold, and this had but four OF
them. The Transvaal legislators rush
ed of in body to buy these four but
the halter, not being mad, saw his
opportunity In their extremity. He
knew there was no time to get hats

Women In England.

In the seventeenth century, when
Engiishwomcn were still recognized as
possessing an economic and political
status side by side with Engllshmen,
there was written an interesting entry
In the church warden's accounts of st.
Martin's-in-the-Flelds, proving that one
Elizabeth Bartlett was intrusted with
the casting of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for the
same work. Another instance is to be
found in the records of the Fleet pris-
on, of which the first female warden,
appointed in 1911 on the death of her
husband Robert, received the same sal
ary "as the said Robert had been ac-
customed to during his life" There
was no talk then of confining the wo-
mans sphere to work that was paid
badly.

FISH POUNDS INCREASE
ON NEW JERSEY COAST.
Rush to Build New Nets for Sum-
mer Catches.

TOMS RIVER, March So.-Fifty fish
pounds are in process of construction
on the North Jersey coast between
Sandy Hook and Seaside Park, and
three more on the upper end of Long
Beach, just below Barnegat Inlet. The
latter three are all new this year. Two
are at High Point, Harvey Cedars, and
are put in by NJ. P. Hewlett, of Phila-
deIphia. The other, at Barnegat City,
will b owned and fished by Gus
Hilton, of Anglesea.
1t is said that the increase in the
humber of pounds this year is 10, there
being 80 last year. About ten years
ago there WAS a big rush to build
pounds. but several bad summers FOL
ioNed. with storms that tore out the
nets, and the hackers lost money. \
number of them quit business and this
is the first year since that there is any
increase in the number.
1t is estimated that 1t costs $4,000
each spring to outfit a pound, in addi-
ton to the permanent investment in
the way of shore front for h landing,
icehouse, stables, crews quarters,
power boats, wagons, railroad sidings,

THERE ARE BUGS" AND
BUGS" AND MORE Bugs

NEW YORK, March 30.-Revision of
the baseball rules in the interest Of
mildness and gentleness, along the lines
presumably of suggested football re-
vision, is urged upon President Thomas
j. Lynch, of the national league. in a
letter he has received from a New York
ian.
THE breaking of the ankle of the
captain of the Yale baseball team. and
the fractured hand received by a
catcher of the same team demonstrate
eonelusively," says the writer. that
Il ere is something fundamentally
wrong with the game. 1t seems almost
worse than a gladiatorial contest when
our young men must be exposed TO the
continual fight of a cannon ball.
Unless baseball men themselves
institute a reform the State legisla-
lures will surely take up the matter.
Some changes I suggest are:
Make the diamond about twice the
present size, TO avoid danger from col
lisions: substitute a tennis ball for the
present iron arrangement. thus elimi-
mating half the danger of the game and
making the feeders work more spec
~tacular: remove the present kind of
base and substitute wicker chairs so
that the INNER may r%ecuperate while
the ball is being served by h pitcher.
There is no indication that Mr.. Lynch
takes the suggestions too seriously.

TIMELY TWINKLES OF THE DIAMOND STARS.


Hans Wagner's argument to the effect
that he has to bat against better pitch
ers than does Ty Cobb, and giving this
as an excuse for his smaller batting
average, has caused a great lea of
comment. There is no denying that Ty
Cobb has Deer lost every time he had to
bat against a National League pitcher
in the worlds series games, in which he
has played. a Johnson, of course, re-
SCENTS any imposition of the kind, and
shows as refutation of his statement
the fact that the American League
cams in the different inter-league
clashes since 1908 have captured 1888
games, while the Nationals captured
but 122. His argument, however. does
not carry water. inasmuch as many of
the teams which clashed were not al
ways in the same relative positions in
the standing of the leagues.
Manager Griffith, it is reported, has

MAY REDISTRICT WESTERN
ATHLETIC TERRITORY

CHICAGO, March 50.-At u confer
ence held at the Chicago Athletic Asso-

Everett c. Brown, of the National
Amateur Athletic Union, and Secre-
tary James F. Sullivan, of the same or
g~anization, plans were discussed which
may lead to a redistricting of some OF
the Western territory under the con-
troll of the governing body.
1--WE have been requested to consider
the matter Of ~rearranging certain terri
tory west of the Mississippi river said
President Brown. Those who request
redistricting action argue that at pres
ent the district is too large and that
their athletic activities require a more
central location. If the step is taken
about the same general scheme will be
followed as was done on the Pacific
coast.
Messrs. Brown and Sullivan are to
start this week on a tour through the
Middle West in the interest of athletics
