DETROIT MAY HAVE new
SECOND BAStMAN IN 1911

Detroit Dec. 31.-The sale of Micky
baseball club, to Detroit was announ-
ced in the Queen City yesterday and
confirmed last night by President
Frank j. Navin, of Tigerville.
Through this announcement, the
much mooted question OF who will fill
Jim Delehanty's shoes when Jim is
incapaoitated to any way or when he
fails to live up to that usual standard
of his is to be given a rest.
Corcoran is a second baseman. a
third baseman or a shortstop as the
occasion demands. President Navin
brought him to Detroit with the inten-
ton OF making him an understudy to
Delehanty.
Several weeks ago Cincinnati asked
waivers on Corcoran and secured them
from every club in the big leagues with
the exception of Detroit. Joe Yeager
and DR.. Casey both recommended Cor
coran strongly TO Navin and the re-
suit was that President Hermann re-
ceived an offer of $4,000 from the Tiger
boss. Cincinnati secured Corcoran
from Buffalo, of the Eastern league.
In the Glass A organization last
summer Corcoran batted in the 300
division and played the keystone sack.
He is a right or left hand hitter, pre-
ferring to take pitching offerings
from the port side of the plate.
From the high praise that Yeager
and Casey showered upon the head OF
the former Red, it is firmly believed
that Delehanty can have all the all
ments resulting from that bad leg OF
his that are in the book and the Sec
ond base position will not suffer

HAVE REGULAR MENDING DAY
Wise Housewife Will Set Aside a Pc
Rod for the Repair Of All Her
Clothing.

There is nothing on earth like sys.
tenn; and nowhere do you realize this
more than I'm matters of dress. The
tiny hole In your stocking, that you
might have mended In two minutes,
grows into an undarnable run; the
rip under the arm III your new blouse
extends alarmlngly; nothing that must
be mended stays where it is put"
The remedy for all this is a regu-
lar mending day-or a regular mend
ing evening. IL you are a business
woman. AS soon as a garment needs
mending-if 1t be only a button or a
hook that must be replaced-put it
you must attend to the trouble at
once; and when mending day rolls
around do the required sewing. You
will be surprised to find how much
lighter your work becomes when you
can thus catch rents and tears at their
start instead Of at their disastrous
finish.
The other point To remember is al
ways to have your sewing implements
where you can get them and In per-
feet order. Do not wait until the
very moment for mending to find that
you are out of white thread or that
your needles are rusty. When a thing
needs repairing, repair it.; when 1t
needs replacing, replace it. 1t might
even be a good thing to have a regu-
lar preparation day" to antedate the
mending one.

Dutch Explorer Tells of Wild Folk

Mysterious Mountain People Who,

Huts Raised Ten Feet From
Ground.

London.-Mr. H. A. Lorentz. a Dutch
explorer, the first white man to pene-
trate into the mysterious central snow
range OF New Guinea. has returned to
Europe with a thrilling story OF ad-
ventures.
The explorer discovered a mysteri-
Gus mountain tribe who, with their
pigs. lived in little huts raised ten
feet from the ground, into which both
the people and the animals climbed by
way of notcned boards.
Doctor Lorentz says:
Suddenly we came across q Sc

through the twilight shade of the
great forest when we heard mysteri-

0IL!NG LANE ON ATLANTIC
With Ocean Highway Thus Smoothed
Passengers May Cross Without
Fear of Seasickness.

New York.-Plans are being consid-
cred by the United States h~ydrograph-
ic Office to keep an ocean lane be-
tween New York and Europe smooth
by systematic oiling. With the At
lantic highway smoothed out In this
way. passengers may cross with per-
feet comfort, and seasickness will be
a thing of the past. 1T has been es-
timated that n quart Of oil poured
D o the waves every hour by every
ship in the transatlantic service
would keep the pillows smooth In any
ordinary weather. The cheapest
grade of petroleum will answer the
purpose, and 1t is estimated that an
expenditure of $25 per trip will pay
the expense.
The ocean lane is so crowded nova
days that 1t is believed that the oil
carried away by the ocean currents
will be restored frequently enough to
keep the ocean highway smooth. The
oil spreads quickly. and a very thin
covering suffices to still the water.
