PLAYERS QUEER HABITS.
Star Ball Tossers Do Many Stunts on
Diamond UnconsciousIy.

Diamond Unconsciously.
Ball players get into some queer hab-
its. Take Frank Chance, manager of
the Chicago Cubs, for example. Chance
is the victim of habit, caused by the
signal system. Every fan who has
seen Chance bat remembers the mo-
lions he always goes through before
taking actual position at bat. He
walks out from the bench and stands
in the batting box. So far he acts as
any player. But then comes his hab-
1t. He puts the bat between his knees
and jerks his belt. Then he grabs the
bat and swings rapidly.
This jerking at his belt is a habit
which he simply can't get away from.
He does it mechanically, he says. Sew
eral years ago hat belt jerking had a
separate and distinct meaning in base
ball. Since that time other signals
have been Matched for these plays, but
Chance got SO into the habit that it
has become a part of his baseball life.
So he bitches up his trousers.
Hughey Jennings habits have be-
come famous throughout the circuit.
In every instance they started from
signals. Whenever he pulls at the
grass near the coaching box, kicks one
leg into the air and throws both hands
out with a loud resounding "E-yah!'
the fans laugh and say, There's Jen-
nings again"
Each one of these things once had a
separate and distinct meaning to the
batter or the runner. Jennings sim
bly, couldn't stand in the coaching box
today without going through his rig
marole. What was once a vital thing
now has become a fixed habit in his
playing life.
Hans Wagner's motions on first base
when he seems to be doing the lex
tension" as gymnastic dancers call 1t.
meant something once. He either
wanted the batter to bunt or to let
the first n go by. Now Hans uses
it without noticing. 1t has grown to
be a part of him.
McGraw has to bend down like a
Jap at least once during a game while
he is coaching. Fred Clarke of the
Pirates can't help drawing a line In
front Of the plate with his bat.

the Original One.

In n respect the baseball campaign
season of 1910 is sure to be a record
breaker, this respect being in the num-
Der Of emergency batters or pinch hit
tiers who are called on. In the first six
weeks Of the seaso the American
league managers sent in eighty SUBJ
batsmen to clout for men whom they
thought were incapable Of doing any
thing to help along the scoring cause.
while in the National league there
were no men yanked from the bench
to hit for alleged weak stickers. On
just thlrty-eight occasions-twenty-one
in the senior league and seventeen in
the younger organization-did the
emergency batsmen come through with
wallops, and few Of the hits made had
any effect on the result of the tussles.
1t long has been a debatable ques.
ton whether a man sent in to bat for
q player who has been in the game for
eight innings "a do any better than
the athlete whose turn at the bat he
takes. From the 1910 statistics one
thing is sure, and that is that the sub
hitter's batting average is going to be
a low one at the end Of the year.
There may be exceptions. as Dode
Criss Of the Browns was a valiant per-
former with the willow when called on
to smite for other athletes two years
ago. and 81 was Ham Hyatt Of the
Pirates last year. Crises and Hyatts
are mighty scarce, however, and the
good emergency batsman is the ex-
ception and not the rule.
The pinch hitter or emergency batter
Is one of the recent developments in
baseball.
Almost every team in the big
leagues carries a man who is called

Brunette-Has One.
The latest thing in %afinities is the
medical affinity.
Here's tie way it is: If you are a
large, portly person. with an oversup-
ply of chin and Il bay window, then
you have a medical affinity" for a
certain kind of drug. and that's the
kind Of pill you want to take when
anything goes wrong with your in
terror arrangement.
But If you're a lean and hungry in
dividual, with a figure that would
make a t%oothpick look %corpulent by
comparison, then some other kind Of
pill is your medical affinity"
It's Il of the theories of the home
opaths in convention in Kansas City
recently.
The same theory applies to blends
and brunettes. Brunettes are said to
have brolnine as their affinity, while
blends are supposed to be affection
ately disposed toward iodine.
"The blue eyed. gentle and sensitive
blond. whose tears flow easily when
hurt'-to quote from a paper read be-
fore the homeopaths-needs pulsatilla

whether it's toothache or influenza.

NEW COLLEGE SPORT.
Boomerang Throwing Now Being Tried
Out at Missouri University.

Out at Missouri University.
Not so very long ago aeroplaning
was the latest word in athletics. and
while the representatives Of the big
eastern colleges were busily engaged
in framing an intercollegiate aero So
ciety the athletes of the western insti-
tutions of learning were not idle. Now
boomerang throwing has become the
final word in college games, and the
University of Missouri is the sponsor
for this latest form of sport.
Two professors and n student have
been experimenting with boomerangs
at the University Of Missouri. The
boomerangs belong to E. B. Millar.
Several attempts have been made at
throwing them by Millar, a senior in
the school of engineering, and by Dr..
81. NJ. Reese and DR.. o. NJ. Stewart Of
the faculty. Although Millar lived in
Australia until he was twenty years
old, he never mastered the art Of using
the native weapon. Boomerangs are
scarce, even in Australia, being found
only in the interior. The natives in
the civilized parts of the continent do
not make them. They still form the
chief weapons of the cannibals and
partly civilized inhabitants, however.
While they are used in killing game,
their chief use is to brighten animals
from hiding places.
There is a delicate art in throwing
boomerangs. 1t requires more skill
than strength. 1t is good sport, how
ever, and interesting as well as health
full. The students at the Missouri uni
versity have become greatly interested
in the new sport and propose forming
a boomerang club.

LURE OF GOLD.
By DUwcAW ~. SMITH

A MOTHER camp" has spread its lure
A Where in the shining summer Il
That on Alaska fiercely beats
The sands a golden current run,
And men are straining purse and limb
And doing deeds that shrink the soul
To be the first to reach and rear
The harvest in this distant goal.
Not after learning do they strive,
Nor after honor, place or fame,
The treasures hat enrich the mind
And cast a luster on the NAME,
And wen love they leave behind,
Though it may shrivel in the cold,
And turn their eyes and minds and hearts
Toward barren lands that promise gold.
All human feelings cast aside,
AS wolves they struggle for the prize
That at the end of strife and stress
And bitter. stern %privation lies.
Their only god is yellow gain.
Their only end and ain is dross.
For that they brave the icy plains
N mountains tall and frowning cross.
And many in the frenzied rush
Who on the die have staked their all
Will never reach the promised goal,
Will falter by the way and fall.
And victims of the yellow lure
Will line The long and weary path,
Food for the coyotes of the wild
And victims of the gain gods wrath.

Industry.
Raising tishworms is a new industry
in Greenfield. Ind. and so far as
known is not even carried on in a
small way in any other locality in the
Hoosier State. The scarcity of bait at
the northern lakes, where several for
tunate Greenfield lads spend the sum-
mers with their parents, led to the in
dustry.
Ordinary angleworms are obtained
regardless Of size or condition and
placed in boxes prepared with soft fer
tile soil. They are then developed by
careful feeding. The food is milk and
sweetened water. On this the worms
thrive and become large and tempting
food for the fish. The fishermen ship
this carefully prepared bait to the
lakes. and as a usual thing they are
favored with the big catches.

"a manager shouldn't kill all Of

load them down with ironbound

should be permitted to use their
best judgment.
"Too much attention is paid to
inside ball and signals and too
little to stealing bases. BasebalI's
too mechanical. If a youngster
happened to be on first and saw
a good chance to steal second or
if he was on third and thought
he could sneak home, do you
think he'd try? Not in a thou

put out he'd be told a few things
