For Marking Linen,

When ready to mark table linen
sheets, pillow cases and towels in any

specially designed in the proper sixes
so one may do the stamping at home.
The size most in use for tablecloths
are letters three inches long in an in.

are used one large letter is preferable
to two or three. For napkins the let
ters should match the cloth only

YORK has received the signed con-
tract OF Nicholas Kaufman, of Selin's
Grove, the leading first baseman Of the
ousquehanna League last season. He is
more than feet tall and weighs 175
pounds. Last year he batted .45O. The
ofncers have opened. negotiations with
the Philadelphia Nationals to secure
two promising players.
Reading Contracts Awarded.
managers Cockill and Coughlin, OF
the Reading team, have awarded con-
tracts for the erection Of new stands
at Lauer Park and for the leveling and
sodding Of the diamond.
Harry Barton is still the property OF
Reading, and the owners have had
four offers for him, but none Of them is
as high as expected. Catcher Millman
will likely be disposed of to the Jack
sonville, Fla, team.
1t is the idea of the new Reading
managers to get rid of as many of last
years team as possible and build up a
new team. There will be no trying out
done, and the managers will sign only
such men as they know will make
good. In this manner they expect not
only to save money with a long pre-
liminary season, but to get th, team
going in a short time.

had TO do much explaining before the
fans would believe that Russell would
