GAS GETS
CATCHERS

Three Maps, Pitchers Cy Young and
Walter Doane and Catcher Sid Smith,
narrowly escaped asphyxiation in the
League park clubhouse Monday. But
for the timely arrival OF several OF
their teammates the result might have
been serious.
Following the morning practice all
OF the Maps with the exception OF
those mentioned went TO lunch
Young, Doane and Smith lounged
about and finally dozed of.
The fiue connected with the heater
in the bathroom became blocked up
and as the windows were closed when
the players took their baths, and not
reopened, 1t was not long until the
deadly gas got in it's work on the
men.
Fortunately several OF the other
players returned 20 the clubhouse at
an earlier hour than usual. Young
Doane and Smith were very ILL., and
DR.. VI. II. Castle. the club physician,
was hastily summoned. He worked
over them for an hour but Il was not
until late In the afternoon that they
were sufficiently recovered 10 leave

"Rube would have been the hap

Connie. His heart and soul were
wrapped up In taking 4 couple OF

we clinched the 1906 flag on Sept.
s by defeating Boston. Ii was just
at the season OF the year when the
taboo sign Is placed on straw hats
and the Boston fans had right
merry good time destroying the head

dared to come To the game with
straws. Rube Waddell enjoyed the
unusual pastime n little bit more than

Immediately spied the straw hat
which Coakley wore. He recalled the
Boston straw barbecue and immedi-
ately made for Coakley.
Andy knew what was In the air

He promised to do 80. and upon
entering the coach he approached
Coakley, kissed him on the forehead
and asked his forgiveness. He then
shook hands with Danny Murphy and
everything was lovely.
THE RUDE wanted TO be alone In

WHERE SHALL JILL FIND JACK?
Startling Showing of Unmarried Women-SociaI Conditions Com pei Women to Extend Their -
 Field of Work.

Every Jack has his Jill" It is a tender twilight thought, and it more or less settles Jill.
 When the Census Man was at work in 1900. however, he went about and counted 2,260.0OO American women who were more than twenty-five who were more than twenty five years old and who were still un- married.
 It is getting worse Cor better) with every passing decade, and out of it is emerging a new ideal of education for women, an ideal which seems certain to penetrate the whole educational system of the United States. all the way from the ele- mentary school to the universities.
 The Census Man groups us into age periods. The period from twenty nine is the most important matri- monially. because it is the one in which most of us get pretty well fixed into our life work. out of every 1000 women in that period, in the year 1890, the Census Man found 254 who were still unmarried In 1900, only ten years later, he found 275.
 Poor Jack, Poor Jill, They get lectured at all the time about the postponement of marriage, and they can no more control it than they can control the size of the city of New York. Theoretically. everybody on Manhattan Island could get up and
