George Baumgartner, the young
twirler of the st. Louis Browns last
season, has invested his salary IN a
home for his mother at Barbours-

Ty Cobb took advantage of the op-
portunity when thanking his friends
for congratulations on his twenty
sixth birthday to announce that he
will not sign with any club for next
season for less than $4,000 and a
three-year contract.
Ban Johnson says he will not issue

TO the Bitter End

The derivation Of the often used
phrase ITO the bitter end" is explained
by writer in the New York Sun as
follows:
1t is nautical term. II you have
ever been on big ship you must have
noticed two large pieces of timber
sticking up out of the deck forward.
alongside each other. They sometimes
have windlass between them. and
they are used to secure the anchor ca
BILE. These pieces of wood are called
the bits"
When the ship comes to anchor and
the cable is paid out all that part OF
1t which is abaft or behind the bits
Is called the "bitter end OF the cable"
In storm or in poor holding ground
for the anchors the more cable that is
paid out the better the anchor Will
hold. and when the captain Is at all
doubtful he pays out his cable to the
"bitter end" sooner than risk any harm
to his ship.

COLLEGE BOYS EXPLAINING

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 27.-Har-
ward students who have gone to their
homes In various parts of the United
States to spend the holidays will have
to explain something about their bills
for flowers, confectionery, cigars,
liquors and other Injuries before they
receive their wonted welcome from
their parents. ABOUT two weeks ago
it was discovered that the students
of Harvard are spending enormous
amoutns each year on the above
named items and angry fathers have
been demanding to know how much
of the paternal currency has been ex-
changed for these articles. Each stu
dent has gone home amply fortified
with explanations
Almost every Harvard man admits
that he is surprised at the huge
amounts spent on these luxiiries, but
when he complies his own table of
expenses the surprise diminishes. 1t
is the opinion of the Harvard men
that even more than $4,426,330 is
spent yearly for tuition, board, room
rent, and that spreading item "inci-
dentals."
