Washington, D. c., May 15.-It was

SNAKE IN SURF
SCARED OLD TOPERS
Sale of IntOXiCantS Fall Off
AIaFmingIy

Atlantic City, May 15-Sales of in
toxicants in the cafes connected with
beach-front hotels have fallen off ma
terially since "Bepo", the 15-foot ser
pent used in the Hindu Temple dance
on Young's pier, was initiated into the
luXuries of an ocean bath. Boardwalk
strollers We're startled by the appear
ance of two Hindu boys, who scrambled
over the side of the pier holding be-
tween them a huge snake Old-timers
with tlorid countenances were satisfied
with one glance, after which they
created new records from the esplan-
ade to the nearest life-saving stations.
The less timid, however, crowded to
the railing and watched the unusual
spectacle of the snakes immersion IN
the brine After the reptile had been
thoroughly soaked in the waters of the
Atlantic it was carried up the beach
and buried in the sand for half an
hour, Then it was given another ocean
bath This heroic remedy was made
necessary by the loss of ambition on
the part of the snake, which is the
principal support of Princess Sta Dew
woman with emotional muscles and
negligee attire, engaged for the week
in regaIing boardwalk pleasure-s2ek-

THE OTHER SIDE OF HOUSEKEEPING

prise of arbutus under brown leaves,
we begin to see the other side of
housekeeping.
We remember the day motor whiri-
ed up, and a marvelously good-looking
man presented letter of introduction
from a friend. Our hair was in wisps.
There was smudge on our nose The
old dress we had on, the waist of which
always would 'Hride up" had ridden up
worse than usual In fact, our appear
ance was at its lowest ebb of respecta-
bility and We had a frantic idea at first
of pretending to be the maid and say
ing the mistress was out. But We had
opened and read the letter under the
amused eyes of the stranger, and 80
this course seemed unadvisable. SO
with a very red face we entertained
him to the best of our ability. Now,
gathering violets, we laugh at the
memory But we couldn't laugh then
Then we think of the day we ate our
lnnch on dry goods box on the porch,
with a very thin screen of vines be-
tween US and our unsympathetic, Gym
ical world; and of how the neighbors'
children pressed their noses against
the fence and made remarks at every
mouthful. We remember our murder
Gus desire to get a club and go for
them, and how we discoursed on the
proper training of children to the
woman who was helping, knowing that
she would be working in these very
ineighbors' houses in a few days and
would repeat all we said, and we didn't
care if she did, and hoped that it would
open the neighbors' eyes to what hor-
rid, ill-mannered offspring they had
I'VE wondered rather regretfully now
if these neighbors were mad
Dozens of these incidents we recall
now and laugh at them. But at the
time they irritated and eXasperated and
annoyed. And as We go back into the
bright, clean-smellng house we think
bit contritely that next time W.
clean house we will make a less lug
ubrious performance of it by seeing
both sides of it at the same time.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1911-05-16

1t is only in retrospect that the 9TH
er side of housekeeping can be seen.
At the time of the ordeal, nothing bit
its cold, hard facts thrust themselves
upon us. Its aura of romance is not
visible.
Like the quaint saying of familiar
character in fiction who says that In
stead of getting to heaven at last, she
is going all along" We may believe in
scattering our cleanliness through the
year, instead of having an orgy of it at
a stated time. But if we live in certain
kinds of villages, We probably haven't
the courage to live up to our convic-
tions. If we don't clean house, we
know with what a suspicious sniff Mrs.
Jones will greet our remark that we
clean the house every week instead of
twice year. We know the suspicious
glances that will wander over picture
rail and chandelier, and under daven-
port, and into corners when neighbors
whose homes are redolent of soap and
new paint, wander into ours. We can
hear the comments of the village when
our house is tranquil and serene dur
ing the upheaval that affects all others
And so we clean house. We go about
for two weeks wearing a sanctified ex-
preston, and living in the radiance Of
the martyrs halo above our brows. AS
the tribulations incident upon house
cleaning increase, we wonder resign
eddy what more fate can have in store
for us. And when we creep dismally
to bed the night it is all finished, our
hair full of dust, our hands cut and
scared, our finger nails broken, every
muscle and bone in our body aching
We pray feyently we may die before
another housekeeping season rolls
around.
But when we are rested, and we
sniff with pleasure the fragrant odor OF
cleanliness throughout the house, and
everything is bright and shining, and
we go out doors and breathe in the
lilac, if we did not see the daffodil. and
seek out shy violets in fence corners,
even if we have missed the pink sur

DEVELOPING YOUNG BALL
PLAYERS A SLOW PROCESS

Harry Dodd in Savannah Morning
News)
1t takes time to develop young ball
player. Major league managers, for
instance, Connie Mack of the Athletics,
often keeps a recruit on the bench for
a season or two before trying him out
in championship game. This sort Of
procedure is not possible in the minor
leagues, most of which have player
limits requiring that even the mana
ger of the club be in the game as a
regular, but unless all signs fail, the
locals hold title to a grand youngster
in little Willie Workman, and with a
bit more experience he should prove
the class of the infelders in the South
Atlantic League.
To date the youngster has shown
little in the hitting line though his
showing has been far from poor when
it is considered that this is his first
season in professional ball The latter
fact carries a world of meaning to the
ball players and practical baseball men
SO great is the difference between pro-
fessional and amateur baseball that
only those who have gone through the
mill can fully appreciate the hardships
under which a youngster labors his
first season out, the popular term
Iamong ball players for the first season
in the professional rank.
Probably the greatest difference is in
the pitching. Few ameteurs ever en-
counter what is known as hop ball
pitching until they have broken into
professional baseball, where this style
of twirling is the rule rather than the
exception.
Stuff" is the name given by the
lplayers to those balls delivered by the
pitcher which breaks suddenly at one
time or another while coming up tC
the plate And there are few pitchers
in professional baseball who have not
this sharp break on every ball they
throw On the other hand the straight
ball of the amateur is precisely what
the term means, a straight ball without
the hop, which is acquired either by
speed or a certain twist given the bal

NOTICE OF~FIRST

just as it leaves the pitchers hand.
Between the straight ball of the ANA
teur and the one of the professional
there is all the difference in the world,
and only practice against pitchers Of
the latter class will enable a youngster
to hit consistently. Then, too, the
curve balls served up by professional
pitchers are far and away harder to hit
than those of the amateur for the reas-
on that the professional will usually
hook them across one of the corners
while the ANA. eur considers himself
fortunate when he can get them over
the heart of the plate.
The development of Hugh Sweeney
since he joined the Savannah team last
spring is a fitting illustration. When
he came here Hugh was of the soft
picking class for the pitchers.
Though his previous baseball ex-
perience had been gained on the fast
amateur fields of Chicago, where the
article of baseball played is not mucn
slower than in the class D professional
rank, Hugh complained of the jump
ball and curve pitching for more than
two months after joining the Indians.
1t required practice for him to get his
bearings in professional company as
was shown by the difference between
his hitting during the early part of the
last campaign and toward the end of
the season when he was conceded to
be one of the best hitters on the club
Workman is laboring under precise
! ly the same conditions which Sweeney
! faced early last season and that he has
hit as well as he has is sufficient
proof to Manager Magoon and the 9TH
er wise ones that the youngster will be
real find when he has gained the
necessary experience. AS to fielding,
the little fellow stands now on a par
with any of the others in the league
Beside being an excellent judge Of
ground balls and possessing knowledge
of how to handle them easily and
gracefully the youngster has wonder
full arm, and once he has become ac-
customed to the professional styles OF
pitching he is almost certain to go
straight to the top of the profession.
