Scottish Pearl Fishing.

1t Is common belief that pearl
oysters are found only in ocean beds,
and perhaps it may be surprise to
some to learn that pearl fishing is ex-
tensively carried on in several Scot
fish rivers, and II the pearls there
found are not quite so fine as those
got from the ocean. they are in con-
siderable demand and can command
good prices. On the River Tay. 40
miles from its mouth quite small
trade is, done In fresh water pearls,
and there the method Of procedure is
as follows. The fisher, having armed
himself with long bap'boo pole. split

When iendship Counts.

The doors of the deformed man afe

outside. He may have treasures q
charm inside, but they will never b

operates with him In unlocking tho

greater degree than with the ordinary
man, the indispensable means Of DIS
covering ones own personality. One

1t is easy to see how hopelessly such
sensitiveness incapacitates a man
for business, professional or social

Boy at Play ls Always Deaf When
His Mother Is Calling
Him.

Johnny"
That was his mother calling from a
window and Johnny playing in the
street, but Johnny didn't hear her.
And then:
johnny! Come here"
But Johnny is at this moment
reaching up to catch high ball and
his ears are closed to all calls; where
upon:
Johnny, do you hear me?"
But Johnny doesn't. He has caught
that ball and now he is fielding it to
another boy standing by tree. So
now:
Johnny" this time with little
staccato in it, and perhaps a faint
suggestion Of a slipper.
And does that open Johnny's ears?
Why, he's at the bat now and pre-
pared to hit the ball a swat that will
send it half way down the block, and
all things else are as naught to him.
But now hear the vigilant mother,
this time gently, for she knows that
boys will be boys:
Johnny, I want you to come in
now"
Johnny is at this moment running
like wild man, or boy, making for
that tree he was throwing at mo
meht ago and utterly 'oblivious OF
everything in the world, the parental
voice included. But that cleaves the
air again now:
Johnny"
Johnny is standing with one foot at
the root of the tree and the other foot
extended, all ready to jump and run
when the boy at the bat hits the ball.
Johnny"
And Johnny runs like all pos.
sessed. not for home, but for the base,
and there he stands, while from the
window comes again the voice:

WORLDS SERIES TO END ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER THIS WEEK
Long Postponement of Games Has Given
Rise to Many Idle Rumors About the
Players and Magnates.

I ever before by reason OIL the delay. while
the players are already assured of draw
| ing down more money than ever before
in the history of the series.
But New York seems to be town OF
exaggeration and imagination. All sorts
Of rot gets into the press. and the Won
der Is that the public understands any
thing at all about the game. To oegin
with. the announcement that the Polo
Grounds would accommodate $4,000 people
was proven to be absurd.
1t crowds considerably 10 get 10000 IN
Vie Enclosure, and that is even more than
any other ball park in the country can
accommodate. But the facts are not
worth while here. Everything In base
ball way has to be exaggerated or abso-
luteiy misrepresented. Before there was
such a thing as the national commission
the worlds series were farces because
they did not enjoy public confidence. To
the commission belongs the credit for the
success that this series has proven, and
yet to read the average New York paper
one would get the impression that the
game had fallen into the hands OF a lot
of culpritS who did not hesitate 10 fleece
public and players.
Those who have wagered on the Giants
to win the series feel more hopeful now
than they did after last Tuesdays game.
because under existing conditions both
Mathewson and Marquard will be given
an opportunity to repeat, which would
have been out of the question but for
the rain which interrupted the games.
But the fact should not be overlooked
that the Athletics have proven them
selves the superiors Of their rivals IN
the three games played, and. barring &C
cident, should be just as mt When the
next game is played as they were when
the series opened. There Is, OF course, no
ground for the report that the WORLDS
series might be called off in the future.
But 1t is almost certain that 1t will have
an earlier beginning from this out. A
series Of games which nets the contesting
players a fortune and brings much to the
to be tabooed. Base ball has never had
anything that Is SO popular with the pub
lie as the worlds series. and 1t would be
a death blow to the sport to discontinue
the series. But, Of course, no one OUT
those under the influence OF the FUMES
which are supposed to emanate from
some Chinese laundry ever dreamed OF
such a move being made.
While there is, of course, nothing def
mite known as to which of the pitchers
will face each other in the game at Phlla-
delphia today. the chances are that Ma
thewson and Bender will hook up again.
Both should be ready II their control has
not suffered by the lay-off. and the
chances are that 1t will be another battle
in which none but the pitchers will cut
much figure But It is doubtful II there
will be another SO interesting a game OF
ball ae the one Of last Tuesday. which
went eleven innings. About everything
that could be pictured into ball game
happened that day, and those who were
fortunate enough to witness the struggle
will have something to relate for many
years to come.

CHICAGO, October 24.-Lnicago prize
fight promoters received a setback last
night when 1t became known that the
authorities at Gary. Ind, had given
notice that no more prize fights can be
held in that city.
With the Gary report came news Of sim
liar action In Hammond, Ind. where the
o'Neil-Schlossberg bout is scheduled to
be- held Thursday night. The police Of
both cities declare boxing is dead, as far
as they are concerned.
That the action of the two Indiana
towns has placed damper on prize
fighting in the middle west is the opinion
Of followers of the sport here.
Indiana and Wisconsin have been the
mecca OF Chicago fighters. and it was
only recently that the Wisconsin authori-
ties took action to discourage the game.
Since the McFarland-W oigast bout was
called off in Milwaukee there has been
but one bout held in Wisconsin.

MACK ONCE FIRED DAVIS.
Like the Cat, He Came Back and

Harry Davis, who is slated to manage
the Maps next season and who has been

since the latter has been at the head OF
a team in Philadelphia. was once given
the grand bounce by his present boss

manager of the Pittsburgh team. Mack
figured that Davis was few points shy
of being big league catcher, and sent
him to Minneapolis. Since then Davis has
helped Mack with three pennants and a
worlds championship. while fourth
pennant and possibly q second worlds IT,
