10000 BALLS A YEAR.
Major League Clubs Get Away With
That Many Every Season.

Twenty thousand balls are used annu-
ally by the major league clubs during
the training trips and championship cam
paigns. John Arnold Heydler. secretary
treasurer of the National League, reports
that last year the teams in his organiza-
ton called on the manufacturers to fur
nish them with 800 dozen spheres. The
Cincinnati Reds used the most balls, and
then came the Pittsburg Pirates, the chi
cago Cubs, the New York Giants, the
Phillies. the Boston Doves, the Brooklyn
Superbas and the ST. Louis Cardinals
The watchdog of the National League
treasury will not tell what price the clubs
pay for the official balls, but Charles D.
White, one of A. G. Spalding e. Bros
ambassadors, insnuates that persons who
guess that major league club spends
about $1,000 year for spheres are not far
out OF the way. Each ball, therefore,
costs probably 50 cents The price of the
spheres varies from year to year.

1t is often important to be able to
tell the age of horse with reason-
able accuracy, and we can do so more
plainly by the aid of the teeth than by
any other way.
At first the jaw is small To accom-
modate the milk teeth; the jaws soon
become larger to take in the perma-
nent ones. The front teeth or nippers,
are usually studied with more success
to note the changes in the age of the
horse. and then enable us to DO 50 very
accurately up to the age of eight years
land fairly so up to eighteen. by the
plan or form of the teeth.
When two weeks old the central
nippers are full grown. in five or six
weeks another incisor will appear on
either side of the two first; in two
months they will have reached their
natural size, and between the second
and third months the second will have
oVertaken the first. They will then be-
gin to wear away a little. Between the
sixth and ninth months another nip
per begins to appear on either side of
the two first, making six above and six
below, and completing the colts
mouth, After which the only notice
able difference between the second
and third years is u wearing away of
the teeth.
The teeth are covered with u hard
substance called enamel 1t covers the
portion of the teeth which appears
above the gum. and as time goes on
is gradually worn away. A portion of
this enamel is caved inward or sunk
into the body of the teeth, forming "a
small pit. The inside and bottom of
