BALL PLAYERS NOW BARRED BY MAN WHOSE
SKILL HAS kept MANY STARS IN ACTION

YOUNGSTOWN, July 2s.-In
this city everyone will tell you
that the Pittsburg Pirates were
helped to the pennant last year
by "Bonesetter" Reese. When
Wagner and Leach, the two main
stays of the Pirates, were Grip
pied, they came here and Reese
fixed them up again. He has per-
formed like services for many,
many ball players.
And now the "Bopesetter" has
announced that he has quit treat
ing ball players. The announce
ment was surprise and the play
ers can't understand it. When
ever one of the diamond stars was
injured, a back or leg wrenched,
suffering from charley horse"
or some other ailment of the
muscles and ligaments which af-
flict ball players, he headed for
this city, firm in the belief that
Reese could fix him up all right.
And Reese did.
But the diamond stars are taboo
with the "Bonesetter" now, and
he won't tell why. His fame has
been carried to all parts of. the

Indians Fail To Hit
Bert Hall and Game
Goes to the Tigers
etonfIinr Of the Tca,n..

Tacoma made it three out OF
four with the Spokane Indians by
taking the contest yesterday, al
though Captain Ostdiek has pro-
tested the game. His protest,
however, will hardly hold.
1t was In the ninth inning for
Spokane and the score stood 3 to
against them. With one man
out they got Nordyke and Netzel
on third and second and all that
was needed to tie the score was a
good hit.
But no one seemed able to find
the ball on Bert Hall. Keener
was up and had one ball when
Ostdiek concluded to put in an
other batter. He called Keener
out but Umpire Hall had no no.
tice of 1t and went on with the
game. Hall kept pitching and
with Keener standing nearby and
wondering what to do Hall shot
two nice ones over the plate and
they were called strikes.
Then Keener jumped back and
took a rap at the next one and
pounded 1t to Coleman who held
Nordyke and threw Keener out.
In the meantime Ostdiek and
Cooney had left the bench and
were making an awful fuss with
the umpire. The jumps, however,
told them to go back to the
bench and as they did so Brooks
batted for Shea and famed out,
ending the game.
Ostdiek had a right to change
batters IL he wanted to but he
should have notified the umpire
first rather than Keener. AS Hall
had no notice of what was wanted
he went on with the game in the
regular way.
There was little chance anyway
for the Indians to win the game.
Tacoma had it ON them all day
FOR they could not hit Bert Hall.

The Twenty-Hfth infantry upset
the expectations of the Puget

The First infantry gets first

by got in the going for second

 The sewing machines are operated at a speed ranging from 1,500 to 5000 revo- lutions per minute and it is possible for a girl to sew up from one to 15 dozen hats per day or nine hours, depending upon the quality of material used On extra fine work one dozen hats day is considered fast work and the pay Is better than that of the operator who produces q greater number of the more common hats.
 After examination the hats are sent to bath of gelatin This liquid is care fully prepared and it is used in different strength for the stiff and the soft" hats. In the former class are those hats commonly called yachts. After having been sized the hats are allowed to dry and they are then sent to the blockers who, after softening them by steam, care fully fit them to their respective shapes This work is done by hand. as is the pressing with wet cloths and hot irons.
 The latter process not only shapes the hat but draws the gelatin through the fiber of the straw and at the same time removes the surface gelatin. From this process on there are, in the next step of completion, two methods-hand and ma chine. In the former process the hats are first pressed with wet cloth and hot irons, and then polished with the bare hot iron

convenience what date Is chosen. The ellipse the earth makes around the sun can be cut arbitrarily at any point by mathematicians, and at this point new year may be begun for the purpose of dating and thereby Identifying each day.
 As a matter of historical record the date of January i was finally taken be- cause the French had for many years begun the year on Christmas Day, talk ing the greatest of Christian festivals as the beginning of the year. Beginning year in the middle of the month was seen by the gradually improving civiliza- tion as ridlculously inconvenient, and the smallest change possible was made--a change of seven days to January 1.
 This matter of where to cut the solar year and so place New Years Day is entirely distinct from the matter of the old and new style of calendars-the Gre gorian and the Julian calendars. This latter has reference to the correction of errors in the actual number of years themselves arising from the irregularity of leap-year days that must occur in various centuries past and future.

braid. From the presses the hats go to brimming machine, where only the brims are subjected to pressure The crowns are given a polish by hand and the hats are then ready for the next step, which Is trimming.
 The trimming department carries on q varied line of work, from sewing reeds In the leather sweat bands and sewing the top and side lace together to assem- bling the parts in the hat. This work Is divided among five or six sets of girls, each set doing q particular portion One girl does nothing but reed the feathers, another sews the top and side lace, anoth- CT sews in the reeded leather, while another puts in the top and lace.
 There Is another table to which the hat then goes, and that is for the rib bon and bow. Both are put on sep arately, the ribbon first and then the bow.
 The hats, then practically finished, are once more put in the brimming machine in order that they may be trued up, for the brims have tendency to warp, and then they are sent to the packing room. There they are put in pasteboard cups, and then into large hat boxes when they are ready for final packing in cases and shipment.
 There are comparatively few people In the hat business who can say definitely just what ''size'' means. According to an authority ''size' is equivalent to q given circumference in inches. For in- stance, size hat is just [ inches in diameter, or equivalent to the circun- ference of circle of which the diameter is : inches.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-05-08

As late as 1878 all hats were sewed by hand and there were but two or three different styles, the broad-brimmed, flat crowned models holding their own year after year It was not until that year that the late Isaac Francis introduced the sewing machine. Crude though the machine was and difficult to get the op- erators to understand it, it had arrived to stay. Today it is as necessary to the business as is the straw itself.
 A type of hat that has gained great popularity during the past few years Is the Panama, hat that Is woven by the natives of South America and some of the West Indies. These hats are gener- ally shipped to the United States in their rough and unfinished condition. Here they are bleached, shaped and trimmed and made ready for the retailer who has little difficulty in disposing of them.
 In every department of the manufac- ture of straw hats modern methods are employed and machinery, as far as pos sible, takes the place of hand work al- though, 1t must be said, there is much of the work that machinery has not yet been devised to do.
 Some of the larger factories not only devote attention to their principal prod uct, but they also make practically everything in connection with 1t. They buy their leather in large lots in the piece, cut out their own hat bands, have their own equipment for stenciling them, have their own pasteboard plant, where they make the hat boxes, have their own printing office for printing the size num- bers, labels, etc.. and, in fact, have de- partments to provide for every feature of the business.
