Manager Griffith of Cincinnati has
added a few gray hairs to his scalp
since last season. The "Old Fox has
been almost driven insane by the fail

Homemade Candles.

Save all the candle ends from the
candlesticks and candelabra and keep
in a jar When a quantity has ac-
cumulated, melt all in a granite or
iron kettle and run the hot wax into
candle molds which have been thread
ed with candle wicking. The can
dies will come out pretty and odd col
OTIS from the various shades of wax
which have been melted together. In
any community is some old resident
who can show one how to thread the
candle wicking in the candle molds
If one does not know. If the attic
does not boast a set of candle molds
they can be purchased or made at the
tinsmith's or bought at the second
hand shop or where antiques are sold.
Small sizes can be made at the tin
smiths or bought ready made for the
children to use. Should the candle
ends accumulate too slowly wax and
paraf1n can be bought and the regular
recipes for candle making used.-Coun-

STORIES OF

Bobby Wallace Talks About
Playing the Short Field
Position.
NEEDS MUCH GRAY MATTER
Fine Baseball Brain, Rather Than
Natural Playing Ability Pre-
ferred by Managers.
No. XXI.
BY BOBBY WALLACE.


copyright 1s1o. by American Press Asso-
ctation.I
The baseball player of today needs
lots OF gray matter IN order to stay in
the game. This is my theory. The
man who keeps his thinking apparatus
working all the time is the one that
remains in the game season after sea-
son. winning the appreciation of the
fans and the satisfaction that comes
with thing well done. Managers are
looking for the fellows who can think
quickly and correctly and use their gray
matter to the best possible advantage.
He is always willing to pay almost
any amount for a man who can pull
OFF the seemingly impossible.
Natural ability is a wonderful asset.
There are many managers and owners
who say, "Give me a man with the
natural ability to hit the ball and just
average ability in the other depart
ments OF the game and 1 will make a
star out Of him" Such an assertion
would be a truthful one If the player
in question happened to possess gray
matter. If he happened to be a bone
head much of his natural ability would

to use his energy in the proper direc-
ton.

Ehortstop. In order TO hold down this
Job a player must be fast He must
think fast, throw fast and be fast on
his feet A shortstop has no time to
stop and figure out the next move
Brains, hand aud feet must work as
one. The faster a player is the more
ground he can cover. provided he has
an arm capable Of catapuIting the ball
across the field to first base.
Until year or so ago Terry Turner
Of the Cleveland Americans had a won
derful whip and wonderful catlfke
agility. This he still maintains. al
though his arm is not what it used to
be. When Turner's arm was in good
shape he was one Of the wonders of
the game.
Some Develop Late.
Some men have played short for
years, and among them are men who
made good after they commenced to
get slow. simply because they pos

and how 30 play every man at bat.
Young players who aspire to fame
as shareholders must learn to come in
on slow ground balls at express speed,
grab the ball and whip 1t to first with
out the loss OF a second. They must
learn to throw from any position; they
must face cannon ball drives without
finchfng and know Instantly what to
do with the ball when 1t is in their
hands; they must practice touching
out runner at second, for about half
the throws to catch base runners are
taken by the shortfelder. and they
must use their hands and feet and
their brains at all times
A BAN player of fair ability with
brains is always preferable to a bone
head with all the natural ability in the
world.

UHLAN, GREATEST TROT-
TER OF ALL TIME, SAYS
GEERS.

"Uhlan is the greatest trotter
of all time" said Ed Geers. He
can trot a quarter in thirty sec
onds easier than any horse
ever saw" In considering the
merit of trotting horses Lou
Dillon's wind shield record of
1:5S15 made at Memphis in 1905
must be eliminated.
Uhlan's 1:5SA without the
wind shield is the greatest per-
Torrance in the history of the
trotting turf.
Horsemen are giving Trainer
Doc Tanner a lot of credit for
the Improvement in the black
son of Bingen's speed. Tanner
took the gelding last fall.
In the case of Uhlan he fig
ured that with the length of toe
and the foot angle that horse
had and the weight he was car
rying there was a distinct hand
leap to the geIdiRg's showing
his best speed. 1t was Tanners
belief that a horse capable of
taking a record of 2:e216. which
Uhlan did last season, rugged
as was Uhlan, would go faster
and last longer at the clip If
shod, balanced and pedicured as
Tanner thought he should be.

The Audubon District Court

The District Court opened Tuesday of
last week, Judge Green ON the bench.
The first two days We're occupied with
probate business. The first case tried
to a jury was that of p. H. Mitchell
versus David Mitchell in which the
former claimed commission for selling
farm for the latter The verdict was
in favor of the defendant. Douglas
Rogers of Manning was attorney for
the plaintiff and J, NJ Graham for the
defendant, The next case was that of
Z. II. Sampson against James w. Reed
FOR the payment of note for some $500
with accrued interest MantZ & White
represented Mr., Sampson and the Ora
hams Mr., Reed. Some years ago when
Reed was tenant of Sampson the lat
ter furnished him stock taking his note
IN payment. Reed became II bankrupt
and his attorneys contended that such
action ON his part released him from
payment though Sampson had not filed
the note Mt that time. The jury went
out Saturday evening and continued i'm
session until 10 O'Clock Sunday morning
when they agreed to disagree and asked
to be discharged which was done. The
case of John H. White against Ashby
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff for
1910. Mr.. White had rented the farm
he got from w g. Zelmer TO give pos.
session ut n given time which he failed
to do because Zelmer remained on the
place. So White sued for damages and
the jury fixed the amount named above
Cosson * Ross appeared for White and
Graham for Ashby In the next case
Joe Farley rents land of Henry Schriber
out in Melville township. The former
sues for rent and the latter files claims
for damages caused by cattle getting in
and destroying the corn. j. NJ Graham
was attorney for Schrieber and Cosson
u Ross for Farley. The case of The
State of Iowa against Harry Lamp is
being tried today.
