CHAPTER III.-(continued.)


Georges romance gathered itself for
a flight. Perhaps it was love thvart-
ed and the gentleman with the mus
tache and imperial. in spite of his ami
ability, might be the ogre. Perhaps
1t WAS love and duty. Perhaps her

George did not think highly OF that
tentative gentleman's taste. Perhaps
and perhaps again; but George might
nave gone on perhapsing till the
crack o. doom. with never solitary
glimmer of the true state OF the girls

Don't tramp on the feet of the
un1pires. He'll hath no fury like UNI
pires ''corned."
3-Don't get caught iatfooted on

not living pictures.
don't strike out with the bases
filed. The deadheads as well as the
players feel it just as badly as you feel
It.
5-Don't attempt to snub the bleach
ers. See Jimmy Callahan's views on
this subject.
Don't throw YOU glove on the
ground after what you think is a poor
decision by the umpire. Bill Dahlen
was the only man who could do this
and escape a fine.
Don't guy the minor Lacquer on
YOUR way north in the spring. He may
have your job when spring comes
around again.
9-Don't approach the plate swing
ing three bats in imitation of ny Cobb,
unless you can hit like him.
9-Don't try to push Wagner off
second. 1t is much easier and safer
to go through his legs.
10-Don't become discouraged if you
are not a Baker at third. Willie
Keller once led the Ieft-handed third
sackers.

K~lingenberg in the first fall received
a painful injury when in some I'M

Forum: l am once more in the land
of angels. Three years have made
wonderful changes in this impressive
city. Old buildings have been torn
down and great structures, eight, ten
and twelve stories high, have taken
their places. There are evidences Of
growth in every direction.
1t is estimated that there are nearly
100000 tourists in and about the city.
I travelled for hair a day looking for
a room for myself and only found
three vacant rooms and they were
held at such a high figure that 1t
nearly took my breath away.
Times are very good here and many
improvements going on.
The weather has been simply beau

had a cold snap earlier, when the
thermometer went down to 16 degrees
above. and it is estimated that at
least one-ffth of the fruit crop was
damaged, but probably one-half is a
nearer estimate. Strawberries are
retailing at two boxes for rs cents.
