Almost every ball player, in either
the major or the minor leagues, is
able to tell OF some occasion when his
Immediate action was influenced by
some suggestion from the fans before
whom he was playing at the time.
Ordinarily the players have a sort Of
contempt for the people in the stands,
but once In a long while the latter
come across for a great measure Of
| appreciation.
One Of the most Illuminating Illus
tratlons of the susceptibility OF the
player to the people sitting behind
him was afforded one day when, in a
close game, Buck" Ewing, the great.
est catcher Of all history, was try
I Ing to hold a runner on second There
was also runner on first and hard
hitter-Jake Stencil by name-was at
bat.
After Ewing had thrown the ball
down to second three or four times a
fan up Is the stands yelled to him:
why don't you get that man at first
hes half way down to second all
the time?"
Ewing took the tip. Making bluh

denly turned and hurled It to first
getting the runner there by three or
four yards
"A tip from the fans Is worth two
from the coachers," said Ewing, as
the umpire declared the man on first
out, and the game was over.

 There is good material at Harvard this year and plenty of 1t, but not the tiptop material there was in several plays last year. It is evident that hnlsn IS lacking in Harvards play as compared with last year.
 still there are flashes of real first class football, which gives the coaches hope. An improvement is noted in the interfer- ence of backs and flankers and more ag- gressiveness.
 A marked weakness in the Holy Cross game was inability to diagnose the open ing play formations of the visiting eleven.

ALABAMA HOME MAKERS

Woman has reached her highest pur- pose when she has succeeded in building a home-one that is furnished with the practical equipment for comfort, neces- sary preparation of food for health, and the love and duty that lead her depend- ents to the highest aim of man, the true type-good citizenship. Alabama has dem cnstrated often the many industries of the model home makers. It has been the writer's privilege to come in touch with the sweetest spirit of cooperation in the rome partnership, in the execution of the woman's interest at the Alabama State Fair. The columns of our papers tell of the results of hard work-the decor ations and the flowers and do great and deserved credit to their industry, but to know the real good. to place the real blue ribbon one must work side by side with those good people. to know the true happiness of their lives, each one living for the other. working, pulling together for the interests of both

And still our old ladies are making 8 wonderful record with skilled needle. We find they are no more drones to- day than yesterday. They are engaged in varied methods of employment and the wonderful agility of the hand in well executed work is evidence that practice is as oil to the tired muscle
 Rest of body without rest of thought is like sleep with nightmare to fol- low: the first breaks the cord of hu- man machinery, dulls the brain the other brings discord to both body and soul. Realizing that one must be in terested in something in order to think well, must live in the present, and nourish the sweetest memories of the past, the old ladies are active with all the arts that are being introduced in modern needle work. There are many who are making beautiful crochet hand bags and selling them readily at s. The designs worked out are often in tricate and demand a constant counting of stitches and great painstaking.
 The work placed on exhibition is valuable object lesson to the young girls of today It is far better to know you have been of service to others than to inherit the Weath of Croesus.

 remarked, q am from Canada; I have already changed my mind of American
 women. I heard before the southern
 women did no work" These messages
 to the world have been checked, the
 home makers of Alabama are demon-
 strating facts, it takes work to make
 home and from the home emanates the
 only true life. The fair is bringing
 before the visitors the genuine industry
 of busy contented mothers and sis
 ters. While they are working out their purposes grandma is doing her share.
 How very interesting it has always been to listen to the stories of the ac- complishments of the women who formed very interesting part of a past history. The age when machines were not invented, when all needle work was executed by hand, and those were days of full skirts, with frills and ruff fles. Hand embroideries only were to be had, and knitting was fireside pas- time. Things that our grandmothers
 used to do are precious memory to us.
