CHRISTMAS IN NORWAY.
Richly Cooked Rice Popular Dish

Brownies Used to Share It.
The day before Christmas the holi-
days really begin. 1t is customary to
have richly cooked rice served with
milk or fruit Juice for dinner. In the
tureen is a blanched almond. and he
who gets this receives q present. The
practice used to be prevalent among the
peasants to set out dish Of this Christ
mas rice in the barn for the gnomes or
brownies, whom they thought would
do some good turn for them in pay
ment.
Flowers always make a home look
festive, and the custom in Norway Is
to send these as messengers Of love at
Christmas.

UMPIRE MULLEN PUT
ONE OVER ON HUGH
DUFFY, UMPIRE BATTER.

The FIRST wear of a major league UNI
nire is strenuous. John Mullen, OF
VIII debutted in the Amer
lean in 1911. will bear witness to the
fact. The players early tried to dis
cover the material the smoky city man
was made of. Hugh Duffy, manager of
the White Sox, nae his share of argu-
ments with Mullen. Duffy confesses ne
lost every one, yet admits he once got a
laugh out of the wrangle. even though
on the wrong end of the decision.
Late in the season Chicago was play
ing at st. Louis. The score stood 2 to
in favor of the Browns. Near the close
of the game the Sox filed the bases
with two out. The mex batter hit a
line drive over third. Three runners
scored and the batter pulled up at sec
ond. when to Duffy's dismay Mullen
called the hit a foul.
The ball evidently struck close to the
foul line. some twenty feet back OF
third base. Duffy rushed TO where he
believed the ball struck and yelled:
Come here. Mullen. and look at the
foul line
whats the use wasting time, re-
piled Mullen. bring the line TO me-"
1t was too much for Duffy and he re-
treated to the bench.

PLAN TO
CLEAN UP
Brown and Overall Have Been
Approached by Promoter
Moreing.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Baseball buc-
naneering in the far west with the Pa
cif1e Coast League, backed by the ma
tional commission, in a hand-to-hand
encounter with the outlaws, will be the
order in the 1912 season unless fall signs
fail. Orvie Overall and Modrecai Brown.
OF the Chicago Cubs, and other star
players of the big leagues may form the
backbone of this nests of pirates.
That overtures to Overall from More
ing, father of the Pacific Coast Out
law League of three seasons ago, have
been made. and that the former Cub
pitcher is wavering indicates that the
new movement is no idle dream. That
Brown also will be approached on his
arrival or the coast is practically GER
tain. Brown has threatened for some
time to quit organized baseball and
enter business on the coast. His
threats were repeated only this week.
when he departed for Visalia for a visit
with overall.
Moreing has offered Overall a salary
of $4,000 per season for Saturday and
Sunday games only. This Is considered
a princely offer, considering overall will
be able to stay at his mining Camp al
week and take part in the games at
the weeks end. This offer, in all proba-
bility, will be made to Brown. and the
three-hngered star may accept. He
would make almost as much for two
appearances per week with Moreing as
he would pull down for an entire season
with the Cubs. Moreing is arguing.
The Chicago Cubs are not the only
team that may be hard hit by baseball
outlawry next season. George MoEiarty.
of the Detroit Tigers, also may cast his
lot with Moreing. as may several star
players from Eastern clubs.
This man Moreing is not to be des-
pissed said Al Blum, newly elected
president of the Pacific Coast Leagus,
today. "He has the backing of a for
tune estimated at $500 900. The PLAYERS
know that he is able to go through with
his offers of cash, and non counts
with the ball players"

DAN MORGAN
FEARS G
FOR X. O. BROWN
No Other Lightweight in the
Land Finds Brown With
Such Solid Wallops.

There has been some comment in
boxing circles over the fact that
Danny Morgan, the silent manager of
K. O.. Brown, would not make the
match with One-round Hogan until the
club agreed to give him 80 e cent.
of the gross receipts. In explaining
WHY he demanded such terms Morgan
said: II was not over anxious to fight
Hogan. l appreciate h a he is the
toughest and hardest punching light
weight in the business. When he
fought Brown before he clipped my
Dutchman on the jaw with the hardest
nunch he ever received, and, knowing
what a dangerous fellow he is, l in
tend to be well paid for giving him the
opportunity to meet Brown, for, should
he win. he will be as big an attraction
around the country as Wolgast. / look
for the hardest fight that Brown has
ever had. a much harder n even
than Wolgast gave Brown when my
"%southpaw" slipped it over for a de-
cision twice. If there Is not some fire.
works display when Brown and Hogan
clash then l miss my guess"
This about covers what the fans
think of the battle also, for already the
Madison A. G., where the boys meet
on Friday, has received a tremendous
advance order for reservations.
Hogan is training for the contest at
A%llenhurst, and says that the weight.
1876 pounds at 6 o'clock, means that he
will have all his natural strength when
he enters the ring, and will not be
whipped before the fight, as he was
when Wolgast, who forced him to
make a weight that hurt him in the
short time he had to train. X. o. is
working at the Boys Club, and, as
usual. is in fine fettle. The little East
Side wonder is sure that he will win
this time with a knockout.

NEW BALL
PARK FOR
THE CUBS
President Murphy Said to Be
Considering a Western
Polo Grounds.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-A new field and
home for the Cubs, constructed on the
lines of the White Sex park and the
Polo grounds IL New York, is being
considered. Not only is it among the
things possible, but is almost a GER
tainty, despite the fac that President
Murphy Is mum on the question and
despite his saying that the matter has
not been given serious thought.
It is known, however, that the West
Side boss has taken the first steps
looking toward the building of a
modern plant, and his recent trip to
Cincinnati was reported to have been
for the purpose of discussing the
proposition with Charles P. Taft, joint
owner of the club.
The chief cause for Murphy's being
so reluctant when it ONE to divulg-
ing any plans is due to the fact h a
he Is treading on uncertain ground In
so far as the continuance OF the
present park is concerned. This is the
result of the attitude of the county
authorities, who have repeatedly
threatened to take steps to order the
remova of the West side park because
the land, it is claimed, is needed for
hospital purposes.
