BASE BALL BRIEFS.

Little Kid Foster Is playing a great
game for Rochester, and so Is Hughey
Moran. When these boys are kept OF
tho bases It is pretty hard for the
! Brorschos to get runs across the plate
Baltimore Sun.
| The Yankees have purchased a new
| pitcher by the name Of Hardin from the
Fort Wayne, Ind. club Hardin has won
eleven out OF the last twelve games he
has pitched.
Tho outfelder who by his hustling and
dexterity restricts would-be doubles and
triples to singles. makes plays which
| count a lot, though most Of such plays
are beyond tho appreciation Of the ordi-
nary fan.
New York will have to make a cleanup
on Clarke Griffith's crew to stick along
with the merry procession The Pirates
and Cubs are In soft with Brooklyn and
Boston, respectively. while the McGraw-
ties battle with Cincinnati.
Practically all of the big league clubs
are buying young players regardless OF
expense. The demand for talent exceeds
that of former years, and some OF the
scouts say there isn't enough first-class
material to go around.
Those various and sundry first base
men who early IN the season were either
as good or better than Chase, or VINO at
least would outhtt him, are having the
time Of their lives trying to keep within
hailing distance of the pace he is setting
with the bat.
The pretty story that the Cleveland
club was to send Joe Jackson. its capable
Young PLAYER, to school the coming win
ter was denied by Secretary Barnard
when in New York, but he did say the
Cleveland club would be willing if jack
son were.
.slow Joe" Doyle. the former High
lander, who was released by the Provi-
dence club several weeks ago, Is the
leading pitcher Of the Binghamton (New
York State League) club. Doyle has won
ALI nine games for Binghamton. allowing
the opposition but eight runs altogether:
Brooklyn has just purchased SLOW Joe.
Manager Doom is such peppery 1ndi-
vidual that his physicians feared ne
would forget all about his fractured leg II
he was allowed to remain IN Philadeipnia
during the home stand OF the fnlihes.
Accordingly, Charley was hustled to AT.
Iantic City and ordered to forget all
about base ball.
The Athletics are said to be negotiaung
for Cabrera a Cuban. who Is playing
shortstop for the New Britain (Connectl-
cut Ieaeue) team. Cincinnati has two
Cubans, Almeida and Marsans, who nave
made good. particularly as batsmen, both
hitting over the 300 mark.
Boston base ball critics are not en-
thusiastic over the work OF Mike DonIn
LII the Rustlers They say Michael
cannot hit the ball with his old vigor
and lacks speed In running the bases.
Failure to cover the necessary o.aar amount mt
Of ground In the outf1eld Is anotner AZ
ia1ed weakness. Donlin is working like
aesaa a Trojan Msae in Spite Of these shafts and
saws he viii "come back" like Jimmy

Army Of the Unemployed Plans to
Hold Convention.

BALTIMORE. August 16.-Preliminary
arrangements for the march OF the un
employed OF Baltimore and vicinity TO
Washington to attend the joint labor
convention to be held in Washington
September / to 4 have been made. If

will witness the start OF one OF the
most novel professions ever held in
this city.
Among the plans suggested is one to
have a commissary established at
Laurel or some other near halfway
point. where the men may eat and
rest. Those at the head OF the project
would like to have q band to lead the
marchers in order to quicken their
steps.

Dust Line and Fly Line.

The dust line and the ny line have

said real estate manager yesterday.
Back In 1900 we used to tell tenants in
once buildings that the dust did not rise
above the tenth noor and that all the Of
fees above that were above the dust line.
The fly and mosquito lines In apartment
houses was the eighth floor. These di-
visions that we made were one OF our ex-
cuses for getting bigger rentals for the
dustless and nyless floors.
But this IL true no longer. The dust
line and the ny line have moved up at
least two stories. The growth OF auto
mobile trafilc in the streets explains the
dust rising higher. The motor cars kick
up twice as much dust as the horse
drawn vehicles. But tho fiies and mos
Quitoes can't be explained except by the
theory that they have had 70 develop

GORGEOUS COSTUME WORN BY
PRINCESS AT RUSSIAN
BALL.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 31.-The
costume balls of the Russian aristoc-
racy have long been famed for their
splendor, but in yesterdays affair the
Princess Demidoff put everything
heretofore attempted in gorgeousness
IN retirement. She impersonated AS
pasta and her Dress of cloth of gold,
including the jewels was easily worth
S5,O00,000. The bill Of particulars
follows Dress of cloth of gold en-
crusted all over with diamonds,
$2,5O0O00; the tiara, $1,0O0,0O0: the
pearls On neck and bosom, S1,OOO,O 900;
bracelets, 100000.
The tiara was patterned after the
well known Russian style, big dia-
monds and rubies fastened on blue
velvet crescent. The empress her
self has none to rival the Princess
Demidoffs. Her highness was born
Countess Verontzoff Her husband,
Elm, is 43 years old, and Princess
Sophie Al. The Demidois are de-
scended from Nikita Demidoff, an
iron worker who became the favorite

present Princess was born one of the
several kings that reigned then in
Italy sold the family the princely IT,
