Wheat of Brooklyn batted .304 for
twenty-sx games last year, and his hit

no false alarm.
Pitcher Kelley Of the Connecticut Lite
rary Institution team struck out nineteen
men the other day, but lost his game.

1t is said Of Lathers. the University of
Michigan player with the Detroits, that
like the typical college player he Is
fearless at the bat and on the field. ;" The
typical college player may be fearless
with the bat. but he isn't fearsOme
with it.
ITO my notion the hardest play hl the
life of the third-sacker II always made
on a bunt with a fast man trying to ad-
vance from first to second, says Harry
Steinfeldt. I'm nine cases out of ten
it's bound to be a one-handed play, and
II the fingers fail to clutch the ball or the
throw goes wide frequently there is the

The Double Rainbow.
From the Scientific American.

I rom the Scientific American.
A remarkable phenomenon was observed
during a thunder shower in Finland in
the summer of 1908 by v. j. Lame. who
was making meteorological observations
for the Finni:h Scientific Society The
shower approached from the east. and
the thunder, which had been heard at
intervals during a half hour, ceased be-
fore any rain fell at the place of OBJ
servation. During approximately the same
half hour the eastern horizon was COM
pleteIy spanned by a double rainbow,
which likewise vanished before the rain
came. Immediately after each peal of
thunder the colors Of both bows, and
especially those OF the secondary bow, be-
came confused and indistinct, and the
whole double rainbow appeared to vibrate
rapidly. Lame explains this singular phe-
nomenon, In accordance with the Airy
Pernter theory Of the rainbow, by assum-
ing that the conclusion Of the air which
produced the sound of thunder also In
creased the diameter of the raindrops
from less than 1-2JO inch to between 1-50
and 1-25 inch. If this assumption is con-
firmed 1t will furnish a valua BILE contribu-
ton to the theory of thunderstorms.
which is still incomplete.

mentioned, who has steadily improved in
his pitching ever since the beginning OF
the year. Much time will be spent on all

The team will line UP against Gallaudet
tomorrow in preparation for Its big game

not believed that the Mutes will be at all
troublesome. the battle will nevertheless
be an important one. as Will give the
new coach a good change to get line
on each of his charges in time to make
any shifts that may be necessary to
strengthen the team before it PLAYS

more than one pitcher will be used to-
morrow against the Mutes, while Feenan
Is pretty sure to wear the big glove.

the best in years and it has made every
preparation to make the best Of 1t.
Brick Is the most apt man to pitch with
Rockwell on the receiving end. Craven
at first base, Maxson at second, Hover
at third and Morris covering short will
make up the infield, while Blankard. Bat

for the gardens.

st. Louis here yesterday by score of 3
to In tho only game played in the two
major leagues. The Tigers were lucky to
win, as an error by Wallace. with two
out. opened the way for the home team
to tie the score In the eighth inning.
Bailey pitched q remarkable game for
seven innings. but that error, coming. as
1t did. in the eighth inning, caused him
to WAIVER. and, losing control he passed
two men. Ty Cobb then stepped to the
plate and drove two runs home with
timely twO-bagger.

game in the ninth inning. Crawford walk

JEFFRIES HARD AT WORK.
Training Has Served to Remove
Considerable Fat From Body.

BEN LOMOND, Cal. April 19.-Vis-

yesterday saw the former champion,
stripped to the waist. so through his
stunts After laboring vigorously with
the chest weights for an even hour. with
the perspiration rolling off him, Jeffres
suddenly concluded it was too warm to
work that way and removed his heavy
undershirt. i'm which lie has exercised
heretofore Jeffries then went at the
punching bag with vim that threaten
ed to wreck the apparatus.
In the bright sunlight he doomed up big
and almost as muscular as in former
days His two weeks training has al
ready served to remove considerable SUI
perfiuous fat from the upper part of his
body while there is only a trace of
fast-fadng paunch. His huge arms and
hairy chest looked as formidable as in
the days OF his former pugilistic tri-
umphs The entire afternoon was oucu-
pied with exercises with chest weights
and punching bags. Farmer Burns ex
planned that Jeffries steady application
to the weights was to loosen up his back
muscles and to regain the elasticity so
characteristic Of the fighter in his pre-
vious battles.

Sparrow Pie.

There is no price upon his head and

tribute to his hardihood. audacity and
fecundity: and also to his, ability as a
warrior. In the latter role his strategy
is NapOleonic. consisting chiefly in always
being able to present a superior force to
the enemy and thus drive him from the

JACK Johnson WANTS

He Is Sure That Californian

CHICAGO, H.. April 19.-Jack john
son has come out with the direct state
ment that he wants Jack WEIGH for the
third man in the ring when he tackles
Jim Jeffries at the Emeryvile race track
arena on the afternoon of July T. Ac-
cording to the articles of agreement for
the big fight. May 4. or sixty days before
the battle, is the date selected for the
naming of the referee.
After looking over the names of the
elgibles. johnson says he has figured
that Jack WEIGH is the most logical man,
and he intends to ask to have the coast
man named as the third man in the ring.
Il think that Jack WEIGH is on the
square, and that is the reason L have
chosen him above all others to referee
for me-" declared Johnson at his South
Side headquarters today.
IAN / ask is square deal. and
can't see where Jeffries will raise any
serious objections to WEIGH. as the latter
deal.
Personally. I haven't anything against
any other man who has been mentioned
in connection with the fight. but the
performances. He has always given per-
feet satisfaction in the past. and that
is the only thing any one can go on
According to present plans, johnson
will start for the coast Thursday. The
automobile will be shipped on ahead a
day before the start. and be delivered to
Jack at Ocean Beach, where the bury

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY

1t is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief and
cure to Eczema and other skin dis
eases. If you knew that by washing
in these waters you could be relieved
from that awful itch. wouldn't you
make every effort to take a trip to
Europe at once? Would you not be
willing to spend your last cent to find
the cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here in your own home town!
A simple wash of Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
as compounded only in d. d. d. Pre-
scription will bring instant relief to
that terrible burning itch, and leave
the skin as smooth and healthy as
that of a child.
If you have not already tried it, get
at least % cent bottle today. We
assure you of instant relief.

Residents Object

m amended ordinance. They will GER
tairly do So"
Residents Object
It is declared that residents in the
vicinity Of Hume and Michigan streets
ST. snuously Object to TIE establish
cent Of saloon there and point out
hat it would reauile an extra police
man to have supervision Of that pOr
ion OF the city. The locality is a resi-
dence district ard a peaceful neirE-
oorhood. People have made their
ho,pes there, in many cases, it is said,
because no saloons exist in the neigh
borhoCd and the effort to install a
drinking place under their very noses
has aroused their ire to considerable
degree.
The position of Councilman John f.
Myles. of the First ward. who favors
the removal of the saloon limit re-
strction, is correlated by many bust
ress men. They declare chat il is
not question of creating a monopoly
Of the business as claimed by Mycs
that interests them, but rather re
st,ction of the business. They say
that it would be even better ii the
present limit were cut down slill
further and that a much less numter
IF bar rooms would be sui. c.,lt f1r
lie needs of the thirsty pubic. 'ie-
take TIE position that the fever sa-
'ooHs the easier they are re t.ato0
and that If there We're but 10 in The
CITY the police force might be cur
oiled considerably, and the 10 sa-
-OJns could lie much more easily look
ed after than the 40 which may now
'0 business under the present Iegu-
zion. II is also pointed out that
uearly every city in the country
places a limit on the number Of sa-
looms which may do business in the
community and for Aberdeen to re
move the ban already placed on them
would be taking step backward. The
question Of a monopoly is one be
tTeen the saloon men themselves, and
if any man desires to engage in the
business in the city he should be will
ing to pay for it and any arrange
ments which he may make with the
men now in the business is one be
tween him and the dealer he wishes
to buy out.
It is safe to say that no contem-
plated action of the council in a year
has aroused so much determined op-
position as the application of Edward
Dolan for saloon license and the
proposition to amend the ordinance to
permit him to secure one.
