country. This team will be the clas-

ON the local floor this season.
The local players, since their last
two defeats, have settled down to real

At a meeting Of number OF Off
GERS and directors of the Marion base
ball club yesterday there was dis
cussion of the prospects for the COM
ing season and the financial outlook,
the gloomest of all. was the principal
topic Of conversation.
Those men who have been back Of
baseball in Marion ever since the
GAINESVILLE franchise was purchased
in 1907 have tired of shouldering all
of the responsibility and financing the
project each year and are desirous of
having new hands take charge.
BY excellent effort ana careful man
agement the club has been hauled
almost out of debt. At the close Of
last season but few hundred dollars
remained on the clubs Indebtedness
Snd the coming season, should the
sales be up to expectations should
keep the club from going any deeper
into the mire.
But there is urgent need Of money
to guarantee rhe season. First Of all
ON March the club must deposit
$3.50 with the president of the league
To guarantee that Marion will play
out it's schedule during the season.
Then the directors feel that they must
have at least $4,000 to keep the base
BAH machine going this summer \
few rainy sundays and the pay days
would come too rapidly for the club
to meet. 1t has always been thus.
Each year there is "a long time when
the expenses are far In excess OF tho
receipts and pay days cannot be met
except through the medium of 20 re-
serve fund. In the past there have
been some collections but the dircc-
tors have mainly put their names to
notes at the bank and paid the ath-
letes their salaries about when they
were due.
Zmich's sale last year let the di.
rectors take up most Of those notes
on which they have paid interest for
many months. Now they do not in

from Washington-the state, not the
city-to see the big series, and was
commissioned TO report the doings for

told that a specially clever telegraph
operator had been assigned to work
for me, and that | would find him d
dandy.
This naturally pleased me, for !
knew there would be need for quick
man and a skilled one. When you are
covering that sort Of ball game, you
must work fast work accurately and
have a key pounder with you who is
little short of superhuman. Tickled to
death at getting a real Morse shark,
hurried out to Shibe park and soon
located my reservation.
There was my operator. all right,
and it was easy to see by the way he
handled the key in the preliminary
send1ngs of comparative nonsense thit
he was star. But my spirits fell
with a chug the next moment, when
he opened his face in spe sch-and
realized that he was an Englishman.
Now, can you imagine any spot on
earth where an Englishman is more
out of place than at a baseball game ?
An operator at ball park must be
not only skilled on the keys, but must
be a genuine fan and an expert in all
the langua of the game-and here
was an Englishman detailed to handle
the most important games of all. He
turned to me with a genial smile. Beg
pardon, old chap said he. but I'm not
acquainted with the fine points of your
blooming gyme. y'know. You can jus,
dictyte the stuff though, and I'll get il

Il looked at him hopelessly, and just
then the gong rang. Sheckard came
up to bat and missed the first one.

tated.

lish operator, you're wrong: e never

panels of narrow plain lilac cartridge
paper and white wide panels with lilac

wood floor, polish and cover it with
soft lilac rugs; if not, use lilac filing
from the edge of the room to meet the
large center rug.
For draperies use the plain cream
net, with the heavier curtains of lilac
velour or dainty chintz on white poles.

Canning String Beans.

Owing to their composition, green
string beans are particularly liable to
fermentation, as they are inviting to
the bacteria that cause this process.
For this reason they are best canned
by the sterilization method, which, al
though it requires a little more time,
is many times more satisfactory than
any other. 1t is accomplished in the
following manner:
Select young and tender beans, string
them and break them into short
lengths Pack them firmly in the jars,
cover them with cold water and add
one teaspoonful of salt to each quart
Put on the rubber and the top and
boil for one hour on each of three sue
cessive days. At the end of the hour
remove the cover of the boiler and
allow the steam to escape. Press down
the spring or tighten the lid on the
jars, according to the kind used. tC
prevent any outside air from enter
ing. The jars can be removed and
cooled or allowed to stay in the boiler
till the next day.
On the second day loosen the lie
again. This will relieve any pressure
from steam that might accumulate in
side the jar during the second cooking
Place the jars again in the boiler an6
boil for one hour.
Repeat the operation the third day
In removing the jars from the boiler
care should be taken not to expose
them to a draft of cold air while they
are hot, as a sudden change in tenn
perature is likely to crack the jars
The lbs should be frightened securely
If spring tops are used it is easy tt
test the completeness of the sterilizins
process. This is done by releasing the
| spring a the side of the jars ant
! picking up the jar by the top. /
| there has been the least bit of decom
| position, or if the sterilization ha,
| not been complete, the top will come
| off. This is because pressure on thu
| top has been released by the gas form

FALL TAILORED GOWNS.

Every woman is interested in the
skirt width question; and most women
will be glad to see that the new coat
and skirt suits have reasonably wide
skirts, measuring at least two and a
half yards at the bottom. This does
not mean that the skirt flares out the
least bit. Everything is still as
straight and severe as a pipestenas and
the bottom of the skirt neither flares
out nor tapers in after the manner
more closely fitting effects in tailored
coats. though as yet this tendency
manifests itself only in &, Seni-ftted
back, the front and sides of the coat
carrying out the narrow, straight sill
houette of the skirt. Some of the
WASTED effect at sides and back, two
large buttons at the high waist line in
the back aecentuating this effect.
Except in the case of severely man
nish suits. which are always ordered
by some women, no matter what the
passing fancy of fashion may be. coats
are rather jaunty and feminine in
style and are gay with silk facings,
strappingS and rows of buttons.
Sleeves are long on the strictly tailor
ed type of suit, but many three quar-
ter length sleeves are to be noted on
Collars and revers are exaggerated in
size, and often there are deep cuffs and
pocket flaps which repeat the style of
the collar. A smart suit made of a
supple moilair and worsted weave that
throws up a rich pattern on the sur
face of the fabric, has huge revers
faced with white satin and the blouse
worn beneath is Of white satin yelled
with lace. a suit of blue broadcloth
has q skirt sloshed deeply over a blue
and white striped cloth petticeat and
the big collar and revers are Of the
striped material.
The new tailored coats open a little
niger in front, as is practical in the
case of winter garments, and in the
front opening is worn a tremendous
jabot, which reaches across to the left
shoulder and is pinned there with a
long hatpin made especially for. the
purpose. Another pretty little suit for
fall days is of blue mohair of a silky.
1ustrous quality, skirt, overskirt and
jaunty cutaway coat being heavily
stitched with coronation red floss. The
cutaway coat fastens with one button
and in the opening is broad white
jabot, which tapers to a point just
above the waist line, where the fast
ening comes.
