THE WOMAN In The
BASEBALL WORLD
Fair Sex Wants to Know About
Wives of Players
Chicago News.

In travelling through the sporting
pages and perusing data on our ma
tional pastime you could not have
failed to note an absence of anything
calculated to hold the attention of the
feminine part of the populace In
sending information from the front
the busy baseball writer's fail to take
account of the large number of their
readers who are avid to get an fnkling
of news about the members of their
own sex who are connected by mar
riage with the great game.
This body, as a whole, cares not that
Joe Clinker looks the very picture of
health and is getting up an alarming
rate of speed on sack work or that
Johnny Movers never ran so fast since
the day he was born. That Mr. Par.
ents will probably be put on the
block and go to the lowest bidder is
entirely immaterial. There is no &C.
stacy displayed over the fact that Dr..
Night has hit upon an unheard-of way
to put EN- over the disk. Not at
all! What is needed to alleviate the
suffering of the gentler sex is more
light on the doings of the wives and
women friends of the camp heroes.
Will not the women and girls be
delighted to learn that one player has
been engaged for nearly three months
and not a soul knew about it? Not
even girl He took it for granted
she would use the word Yes when
he spoke to her about it, He guessed
right. The maiden is noted for her
classic beauty and is one of the
sweetest little persons one would care
TO meet. She told a friends at her
home last evening that stories to the
effect that her papa was against the
match We're wholly untrue. Papa did
hold out for a while but gentle per-
suasion on the part of mamma and
Luella brought about a change. He
finally agreed that if the frances
fielding average came up to last years
standard he would withdraw all OBJ
jections. The happy player when ad-
vised of the facts telegraphed imme-
diately that he'd break all precedent
or dislOcate both arms in an at
tempt
Mrs. Hance appeared at the hotel
yesterday and at once became the CEN
ter Of vision. She wore a beautiful
foulard, trimmed with cluny lace and
old rose. The skirt hung without
plaits and was perfect. Her hat was
one large willow plume built on a
shape of pale violet. 1t was a work Of
art and is being copied widely.
Mrs. Green, the famous pitchers
wife, took but one glance at Mrs
Hance's wonderful headpiece when she
began teasing her life partner for
some plumes just like them. She even
threatened to cry right there and then.
Ezekiel, big boy that he is, wouldn't
have such a thing happen for worlds
He lifted the cloud from his little
wife's heart by promising her to buy
an ostrich all for herself and let her
raise her own feathers
No, Murtilla, all is not roseate at
the camp. They had much to worry
them there lately The Perkinses gave
a birthday party last evening in honor
of Mrs Perkins The guests were
seated about the festive board and
ponderous cake, bearing lighted tap
ers, was borne into the room upon the
shoulders of seven men, The wife of
another member of the team scrutin-
lied the cake, counted the candles
and remarked in voice that could
be heard in the next room, Where
are the rest of them
Luckily, though, no serious damage
was occasioned by the remark, and the
teams hopes of winning the pennant
are as bright as ever
