Few men who go to the games
today, even the old timers, know
what resourceful player Mike
Kelly was. An incident I'm the
original $4,000 beauty's" ca
reer furnishes a pretty good idea,
however.
In a game at old Recreation
park, Detroit, Chicago had the
game in hand 10 in the ninth,
with Detroit at bat, one out and
man on second, when the batter
hit a screeching liner to right,
where Kelly was playing.
1t was very dark at the time
and the game really should have
been called earlier. Kelly tore
across the field, but no one
Thought he could intercept the
ball. Suddenly he leaped high,
and as he landed, turned and
threw ito the second baseman,
completing an apparently wonder
full double play, for the man on
lsecond had started when he saw
the ball hit. Everyone gaspedL
but the play compelled a cheer.
The umpire called both men out
and the game was over.
AS the last of the crowd was
leaving the park, a Detroit man
ran across the field. holding a ball
in mis- hand. He had been sitting
in right field. AS a matter of
fact Kelly hadn't caught the ball
at all. He merely bluffed and
threw in a ball he had concealed
in his uniform, awaiting just such
a chance. The smash was really
a home nun and the final score
should have been 2 to 1 in favor

Had Gochnaur been a reliable per-

thirst and his inability to bat.
When he left the majors Goch-

Back in 1904, Tommy Connolly
the umpire, declared that the
American league would have tc
rescind the foul strike rule be-
cause the fans demanded more
batting and the rule had caused

And now, six years later, the foul
strike hasn't even been amended
and there is movement on to in

MAKING ROMAN CANDLES.

Indispensable Adjuncts 90 y Proper
Fourth of July.
In America the manufacture Of nro.
works has become almost n hno art.
and no doubt the youth OF our country
could md this sort OF expression for
their patriotic enthusiasm on tho
Fourth OF July without drawing on tho
products OF foreign ingenuity. A
glance at tho catalogue OF any one OF
the twelve or fifteon largo firms en-
gagged In making fireworks In this
country discloses almost endless lista
OF devices.
Every ono knows what Roman
candle is. but few know how this In
dispensable adjunct OF a Fourth OF
July celebration is made. First OF all
In the making comes the pasteboard
cylinder, which is plugged up at ono
end with clay. After tho clay comes
a small charge OF powder. Then a
star" Ia pushed down tight on the
powder, and charges OF powder and
stars alternate until tho cylinder Ia
filled. Then q fuse In attached which
communicates with the powder near
est the top OF the cylinder. which.
when Il IL exploded. sends Its star
sailing upward. A fuse running
through the candle connects other
charges OF powder with tho first and
explodes them one at a time. each one
shooting out tho star which is next
above II.
The stars are made OF chemical mix
lures. which vary with tho coiors
which are produced. A red star is
sometimes made by mixing four parts
OF dry nitrate Of strontia and hfteen
parts Of pulverized gunpowder. Cop
per flings change the color TO green.
Rosin. salt and small quantity OF
amber make II yellow. Small particles
OF zinc change II TO blue. and another
and perhaps better red can be mad
by using q mixture OF lampblaek and
niter.
