The quaint, old-time handkerchief

bound with ribbon. by which the sides
and top and bottom were held in
place, are being revived and make ac-
ceptable gifts for almost any ami
versary. The glass can be easily cut
into any size and shape and the
boxes have a certain advantage over
others in that they can be easily
cleaned.

DOES IT PAY
TO NAG THE UMP?
Pittsburgh Didn't Have Many
Offenders and Won
Out

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3l.-A compilation Of
National League figures for last season,
Just published. shows that the Pittsburg
team won the pennant with but seven ex-
pulsions Of it's players throughout the
year while the Brooklyn and ST. Louis
teams which finished sixth and seventh re-
specuveiy suffered seventeen expulsions
each.
As consequence fans are asking
whether It pays for ball players to nag the
umpires.
Tho Chicago Cubs might be cited as
proof that it does pay, for seventeen
Cubs drew work house sentences The
preponderance Of evidence. however. is
in favor Of gentlemanly behavior on the
bah field.
Expulslons last year broke all records.
1ie. as against % in 1905 and 1i2 IN 1907.
President Lynch, the new executive has
already announced that boisterious con-
duct must be suppressed and that he will
stand by his umpires to the limit. The
coming season. therefore, promises 10 set
a sim larger record, unless the players
early see the futility Of trying TO BLUM the
arbiters.

NEW MANAGERS
FOR SEVEN CLUBS
Changes Will be Watched
With Interest by the
Fans

There will be seven teams in the big
leagues this season with new managers
as leaders. and the results Of the changes
will be watched with a great deal Of in
terest
Three new leaders will be found in the
National League-Charles Doom, Of the
Phllies; "Bad Bilr' Dahlen. Of Brook
lyn, and Fred Lake, of the Bostonians.
Charlie Dooin's record with the Phillies
is too well known to reed repeating the
management's reason for his appointment
being their desire for lively, aggressive
playing.
Dahlen has played under several great
generals. He broke into fast company as
a member OF the Chicago Colts under
Captain Adrian c. Anson and became a
star shortstop and batsman. After much
experience in this role he joined the
Brooklyns under Ned Hanon and helped
that team to win two pennants. Then
he went over to the Giants, with John
McGraw at the helm, and played so brill
liantly that his work enabled the New
Yorks to win two championships and a
worlds series. Dahlen was finally traded
to the Boston Nationals, with whom he
continued to do good work until last sea-
son. when he became dissatisfied and
was released at the fag end Of the sea-
son.
Fred Lakes success with the Boston
Americans last season would indicate a
lively contest for interleague honors this
year in the City of Culture
Four of the American League clubs will
have new managers-'Pat' Donovan. OF
the Boston Americans; Hugh Duffy OF
the Chicago White Sox; "Jack' O'Con-
nor of st. Louis, and J. McAleer, OF
Washington
The managers for the year will appear

Many Uses for the wIstarIa.

The tender leaves Of the wistaria
are good to eat They are also used
in place of tea. and the flowers them
selves are used for food in China. n
the seed of the wistaria is baked its
taste is likened to that of a chestnut.
The bark is used in Nippon for maxi
ing clothes. ropes and sandals. It's
branches are used as cable, and are
also fit for bridge making. It is said
there is nothing more durable than a
wistaria bridge. Nipponese antiquar-
ians tell how in early times, before
carpenter tools had been invented, the
dwellings of the people in Nippon
were constructed of young trees with
bark on, fastened together with ropes
made of rush suge, or perhaps with
the tough shoots of wistaria. and
thatched with the grass called kaya.

Team on Local Floor in
Fast Game

In one Of the most exciting basket
ball games of the season Wilmington
Y M. c. A. defeated Baltimore Y. M.
G. A. on Saturday night by the score
Of 81 to IA.
In the first few minutes of play Balti-
more looked like a winner, but VIII
mington soon got together and played
rings around the visitors. There was
nothing to the first half but Whining
ton. save a few minutes at the latter
part, when Baltimore braced, and the
half ended IA to 10.
Wilmington outclassed the visitors in
the last half, the Baltimoreans getting
their other four points in the very last
part OF the half.
The Wilmington rooters were very
much elated over their victory as Balti-
more defeated the locals early in the
season by the score of 80 to 1s.
Referee Saunders disqualified Kreiger
for unnecessary roughness. Whining
toms captain was willing to let him
play but Saunders said no, and several
minutes elapsed before play was again
resumed

the Atlantic City team.

I this season.
McKendrick was the star Of the
game. his shooting being the most ac-
curate of any player on the floor.
Hyland played his usual fast game.
| Kreiger was big enough to play on
| the square. Perhaps his size made
the roughness show more.
The score would have been larger
, had Wilmington done as much passing
] in the first of the game as they did in
the last. Heal tried several shots
I seldom made.
= Baltimore must play in spells" They
( had one the first couple of minutes Of
| the first half and another the last few
minutes. In between they showed lack
Of ambition.
That acrobatic act of Croft and Alex
ander's (midget) was somewhat Of a
novelty. They would make a hit" in
vaudeville. especially if Mr.. Croft
would use that expression ITS like

How about Smiths debut? It took
him about eight seconds to shoot that
goal.
The disqualifying of Kreiger gave tho
fans an opportunity of testing their
throat, "Take him out" and Let
him stay in was all you could hear
There is one in Wilmington who is
highly elated over the victory. and he

and put one on every stair in the
house, and you'll never catch any
thing. There's some things you can't
handcuff"
Liddy was right. AS soon as could,
went uD to the trunkroom, which
was directly over my bedroom. The
plan of the upper story of the house
was like that of the second floor, in
the main. One end, however, over
the east wing, had been left only roug-
ly finished, the intention having been
to convert it into ballroom at some
future time. The maids rooms, trunk
room. and various storerooms, includ-
ing a large airy linen room, opened
from long corridor, like that on the
second floor. And in the trunkroom,
as Liddy had said, was a fresh break
in the plaster.
Not only in the plaster, but through
the lathing, the aperture extended. /
reached into the opening, and three
feet away, perhaps, could touch the
bricks of the partition wall. For some
reason the architect in building the
house had left space there that
struck me, even in the surprise of the
