Diver is leading the batting order and up

Latest reports from Baltimore say that
Kelly harris, the Washington boy that IS
trying for the third base Job on the ORR
oles, will be farmed out to the Albany
club of the New York State League.
Harris was making hit with the Bal
timore fans when he used bad judgment
on the bases in the game with the Bos-
ton Nationals, throwing away a chance
to tie the score.
Phil Buscher, the Cornell Company star
twirler, will be sent to the Wilmington
DeLD club if the present plans are ad-
hered to. AS there are ten seasoned vet
Grams in Manager Dunn's tribe, there
was little room for the local amateur.
The Baltimore Star has the following TO
say regarding the disposal of the Wash
ington boys:
Negotiations have also been opened for
the disposal of Pitcher Phil Buscher and
Infielder Kelly Harris. Roaring Bill

with him. He told Manager Dunn he
would let him hear from him in a day
or two.
Buscher may be sold to Pete Cassidy,
who has his Wilmington crew in town
to-day for two games with the Birds,
though at noon there seemed little likeli-
hood of any sport out on the York road
to-day. The recruit from the Capital City
League of Washington was booked to
show his ability to Pete Cassidy this af-
ternoon, Dunn having decided to let him
work the initial contest.

ling jewels added lustre to the scene in the ballroom. The women have never looked prettier nor been more exquisitely -gowned.
 Mrs Henry Badham was especially pretty in a white liberty silk dinner gown with crystal fringe and embroderies to complete it. A corsage decoration was fashioned of Christmas flowers, their bright red contrasting sharply against the white of her gown. Mrs. Kettig wore clever dinner gown built of white satin. It was one of the simplest seen at the club as to it's garnitures, but one of the most elegant. Its lines were grace Itself. A hood of real lace was edged with white silk fringe, which in turn bordered the skirt. The hood was caught in front with a silk cord. The girdle was held with a satin gardenia and rows Of buttons fas- tened the skirt in front completing the only ornamentaton of one Of tho love- Hest dinner tolettes seen at the club. Mrs. Webb Crawford was in yellow satin with gold lace overdress, and Mrs Leslie Fulenwder wore a beautiful green chif~ ion evening gown embroidered in silver and built over old gold satin.

friends much pleasure was pair of roller skates To MT Edward w. Barrett was presented a miniature trunk. MT. Archie Carpenter was the recipient Of 8 bird, and Mir Edward Crawford, his social propensities having brought upon him the temporary title the village cutup," was presented with a monocle and cane. And so it went, the merrest evening of the year for the big crowd at the club.
 A serious gift and a very beautiful one which the board of governors of the Coun- try club caused to be placed on the tree, was a diamond bracelet which they gave to Mrs Solon Jacobs, in recognition of her splendid services this winter as chairman of the house committee. It was a beauti- full trnket, but thought none too beau tiful to attest the deep appreciation which the club and especially it's board Of gov ernors feel for the ''feminlne touchn which this clever matron and her assistants have given the place during their incumbency, and for tho homelike and charming spirit which prevail they have caused within it's doors. The gift was a surprise to Sirs, Jacobs, whose untirng efforts in behalf of the club have been given cheerfully, and whose success in beautifying the building has been but an expression of her own artistic talent and clever person. ality. This gift following the jokes and the buriesques which had been productive of the happiest humor, furnished a very sweet interlude.
 The cotllon was gracefully led by MT. Edward Crawford with Mrs. Henry Lee Badham. who was one of the prettiest and most gracious women at the club. A number of attractive figures, appropriate to the occasion, were introduced.
 Many prominent members of the young married set, the younger set and returned college men and girls were noted during the evening. Beautiful gowns and spark

 The Country club last night was in gala dress, for the gayest club affair of the winter. The Country club is the most hospitable of places and particular ly this season. the policy of its president, Mir Henry Badham, and the directors and house committees-one of which is composed of a coterie of women-has served to increase it's popularity This was never more evident than in the Christmas dinner dance. Applications for tables at the dinner exceeded the number whom the club could accommo- date by 150-many of whom came later however, for the dance.
