FREAK HIT WORRIES GREEN
Ball Lighted on Scoreaoard Platform
and Rolled OF When Danny
HustIes UP Ladder.

Funniest home run that ever my
peeDers were laid on" said Eris
Lord, during the nocturnal tanning
bee. "happened in Chicago SIX or
seven years ago. The Athletics were
playing the Sox and it was on the Old
grounds.
One of our fellows, can't just re-
call his name now, Whaled one in the
air out to where Danny Green held
forth. Nov, the sCorebOard was there
with a platform in front OF it. just
like they have on the Phiilics'
grounds.
The ball hit the platform and, by
gosh. ii stuck up there. Danny waited
for the ball to come down while the
hitter was sneaking around the bases.
After he waited about few seconds
and the ball didn't come down to
earth. Danny sneakcd up the ladder
that ran up the platform and started
to get the ball Darned II he didn't get
to the top rung of the ladder and was
Just climbing on the platform when
the ball up and rolled OFF the boards
again and fell down where he was
standing.

way round. while everybody gave

CATION. | was shaving at my window
in the morning when heard the rattle
of hoofs, and, looking up, saw a dog
cart coming at gallop down the
road. 1t pulled up at our door, and
our friend the vicar sprang from it
and rushed up our garden path.
Holmes was already dressed. and we
fastened down to meet him.
Our visitor was SO excited that he
could hardly articulate, but at last
in gasps and bursts his tragic story
came out of him.
I'VE are devil-ridden, Mr.. Holmes!
Ny poor parish is devilridden!" he
cried. Satan himself is loose in it!
We are given over into his hands"
He danced about in his agitation, a
ludicrous object if it were not for his
ashy face and startled eyes. Finally
he shot out his terrible news.
Mr.. Mortimer Tregennis has died
during the night, and with exactly the
same symptoms as the rest OF the
! family"
Holmes sprang to his feet, all en-
ergy in an instant.
Can you fit US both into your dog
cart ?"
yes, l can"

TINKER 0W sfhiNG TRAINING
Clever Little Chicago Shortstop Says
Il Is Funny Business and Should
Depend on Player.

Funny thing, this spring training
business is, anyway" says Joe Tinker.
It's uncertain any way you look at

through It. | don't know that there
are any particular rules you have 10
follow. or any set OF rules that every

everything else, and. OF course. all Of
us have slightly different ideas about

self, | do lot OF training at home be-
lore | report TO the training grounds
in the spring, and. naturally, what
ever any man thinks about any par
,icular thing is based on his own ex-
perience and feelings.
THE pitchers OF any team should
have more work in the spring than the
other players. for the reason that they
have the most work 70 do in game.
and need to be the best men IL the
game for that reason. or rather, Inc
strongest, l should say.
IT do not believe il any long runs
for any ball player, for he does not
have that kind OF stuff in game.
What a ball player needs as a fight
er does. is to strengthen his legs. l
believe pitchers should run the bases
all the time. and get used TO this. This
is necessary. so that when they get On
bases in Il game they would not be
worn out if they should run around and
score 4 run.
You take pitcher that is all tired
out b. making 4 run, for instance, and
he IS in no shape to pitch the next
inning. He is almost sure 10 lose his
control and that is what a HEAVIER
needs in 4 game more than anything
else. This weakness Of many pitchers
is often due TO being winded after run
ming the bases. and probably il more
of them would condition themselves
properly before going into a game
they would stick.

Holmes, and together we lurcned
through the door, and an instant att

upon the grass plot and were lying
side by side, conscious only OF the
glorious sunshine which was bursting
its way through the hellish cloud or
terror which bad grit US in. Slowly
it rose from our souls like the mlsts
from a landscape, until peace and rea-
son had returned, and We were sitting
up on the grass, wiping our clammy
foreheads, and looking with apprehen-
sion at each other to mark the last
traces OF that terrific experience which
we had undergone.
Upon my word, Watson!" said
Holmes at last, with an unsteady
voice, Il owe you both my thanks and
an apology. 1t was an unjustlflable
experiment even for oneself, and

ut would appear so.'
AT least we may accept 1t as ..
working hypothesis. We will suppose:
then. that something Was burned III
each case which produced an atmos-
phere causing strange toxic effects.
Very good. III the first instance-that
OF the Tregennis famlly-this sub.
stance was placed in the fire. Now,
the window was shut, but the fire
would naturally carry fumes to some
extent up the chimney. Hence, one
would expect the effects Of the poison
TO be less than in the second case,
where there was less escape for the
vapor. The result seems to inds:ate
that it was so, since in the first case
only the woman, who had presumably
the, moro sensitive organism. was
killed, the others exhibiting that tenn
porary or permanent lunacy which is
evidently the first effect of the drug.
r!ete The facts, therefore. seem to
bear out the theory Of 4 poison which
worked by combustion.
With this train of reasoning in my
head | naturally looked about in Nor
timer Tregennis' room TO find some re-
mains of this substance. Tie obvious
place TO look was the tale shield or
smoke guard of the lamp. There. sure

Sometimes teams train too long. Al
that. it Is often hard TO get teams into

that he had made no great progress

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 4.--With moro
than ordinary interest the public Is
awaiting the opening of the trial. next
Monday, Of Allison MacFarland, charged
with having caused the death Of his
wife by poisoning her with cyanide of
potassium. The preparations of prose-
cution and defense are practically COM
pleted. and no undue delay of the trial
is anticipated Prosecutor Wilbur. A.
Mott will represent the State, while
James r. McDermit and his brother.
Frank M. McDermit. will defend the
accused, $500
The case presents many unusual and
interesting features which, In q meas
ure, recall some of the features Of the
Richeson case in Cambridge. Mass. In
both cases the victim died of poisoning
by cyanide OF potassium, and In both
cases the poison was taken while the
person accused Of having committed the
murder was absent. When Mrs. Mac
Farland, for whose murder mcfarland
is to be tried next Monday. was poison
ed. the accused husband was not at his
home in this city. but in New York, ac-
companied by his six-year-old son.
Meets Stenographer.
Allison Mcfarland was born in
Thomaston, Me-, about thirty-three
years ago. He was the only son OF NJ.
and Mrs. John Mcfarland. Of that city.
and received his early education in the
Thomaston grammar and high schools.
After two years in the high school Mac
Farland went to Rockland, Me-, where
he attended commercial school. II
was there that he met Evelyn. the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George A..
Crockett, of Rockland. Allison fire.
quently called at the girls home. and
AFTER courtship OF two years they be-
came engaged. They were married at
Rockland on october 8, 1900, and Cor a
lew years seemed to live happily to-
gether. mcfarland was not a steady
worker. After one year in Rockland
they went to Quincy. Mass. then to
New York. then to Chicago. then to
Michigan, and finally to Philadelphia.
MacFarland Is a man of considerable
inventive ability and while in Philadei-
phia invented an automobile tire. Sew
eral capitalists became interested in the
invention and furnished q capital of
$1,000 to put the tire on the market.
OFFICES were opened and Miss Florence
Bromley was engaged as stenographer.
She was a handsome and attractive
blonde with q somewhat romantic past
and MacFarland soon became infatuated
with her. This was about three years
ago.
Mrs. MacFarland soon learned of the
relations between her husband and the
pretty stenographer and, short time
