has been forced to sign for everything
he throws This puts him at a dis
advantage, and here is the reason why.
He holds the ball in his hand the
same for every delivery, no matter
whether it is going to be sharp-break-
ing splitter or a raising-hop ball. 1t
all depends upon the position of the
batter at the plate with Ford, and as
he winds up, the man with the willow
is likely to shift slightly from the at
titude he struck before he sets him
self in motion.
1t is then that Ford may be forced
to shift from an in breaking splitter
to an out" breaking one, or some
thing else. He is forced to shift on
the instant, and, of course, has no
time to stop and resignal his back
stop. If he did, it would be deliber-
ate balk. Therefore, it Is up to
Sweeney. like the batter, to guess
what kind Of ball Ford is going to

Many Novel Features.

President C. w. Murphy, of the Chi
cago Nationals, is the latest club own
er to announce plans for d new grand
stand.
Murphy said that he proposes a
home for his baseball club, which will
be unification of all OF the best ideas
in modern grand stand architecture.
This he says will naturally make it
the greatest of its kind and will also
make his park one of the beauty spots
of the city.
Private Italian marble boxes, a fine
restaurant, barber shop, few sleep
ing rooms, a souvenir room, an incline
automobile drive to the boxes and a
garage on top Of a beautiful concrete
grand stand are some of the features
mentioned in connection with the
plans.
1t has not been announced when the
work will~start, but Murphy says if
it is necessary to spend $1,0OO,000 il
will be spent.

sunpIx of Sable Cut OFF.

The true Russian sable being in
danger of complete determination. the
duma has passed a bill prohibiting the
trapping Of sable front February IA,

there has not been even closed sea

moulting and with young in such a
reckless fashion, especially in the va
kootsk, Lena and AmGor districts,
that their numbers have 5een steadily
decreasing for years. 'Fhe sable is
the true marten, variety Of the pine
marten, and the size of tie skin rarely
exceeds eight inches by tvlenty inches.
The blush tint of the overhair and
the softness of the pelt distinguish
the real from the imitation sable.
Only a few hundred pelts of the
choicest kind are trapped in the year,
but no less than 10000 so-caIied sable
skins are sold annually at the Irbitsk
fair. The majority of these are the
skins of squirrels from Tartary and 81

SWEDEs TURN sHREWD TRICK
Schedule Prevents American Runners
From Competing in Long and Short
Running Contests.

According to the announcement
which the Swedish Olympic commit
tee has made concerning the order OF
events at the international games
which are to be held at Stockholm, in
July, the Swedes have played rather a
sharp trick on the rest of the ath-
letic world. In the arrangement of
their program they have scheduled
nearly all the dashes and hurdle races
within a day or two, and the distance
races they have grouped in similar
manner. In other words they have
declined to follow the procedure which
is common in arrangement of games
Of this Importance by stringing out the
events so that the greatest number of
men can compete in the greatest num-
Der of events
The direct result of this arrange
ment of the schedule will make it
practically impossible for any Of the
American distance runners to double
up in such events as the mile and
half mile, and it will. likewise be hard
on even those sprinters who wish to
compete in the 100 and 200-yard
dashes. The statement applies equally
to the various hurdle races
The strongest objection to fhis plan
has come from England, though even
here it is not likely that there will be
any formal protest against the action
of the Swedes. 1t would he strictly
within the province of the athletic
authorities of any of the countries
which will send teams, either to pro-
test or, in more polite terms, to make
suggestions looking toward a rearrange-
ment of this schedule. The English
men, while they have voiced their dis
approval in the newspapers, have not
lodged any formal objection, and pub
ably will not do So

KING PIN OF ALL LEFT
HANDLERS.
Nap Fucker, Brooklyn Southpaw, is
Good Because He Goes About
Work in BusinessIike Way.

Admiration and praise is the life
blood for some ball players, while 9th
ers love the game for the games sake.
Among the latter is Nap Rucker, the
star left-hander of the Brooklyn team,
and one of the best southpaw twirlers
who ever drew on glove. This Is
the player President Ebbets once said
he would not trade for whole ball
team of good men.
1--WE always wished we had Rucker,"
said President Murphy of the Cubs the
other day. land I'll tell you one of the
reasons. Every day that Brooklyn is
in Chicago and Rucker is scheduled to
pitch you'll find him out at the ball
park at IL o'clock, dressed in his uni
form, and taking light work in prep
aration for the afternoons struggle.
He bats a little, catches few balls
and tries his arm with anybody who
is willing to catch him.
GAS a result he is always in condi-
ton when the bell rings. He is so
conscientious that he doesn't leave
stone unturned to win that ball game.
Moreover, he keeps out of sight as
much as possible, not caring for the
grand hurrah that others seem to be
seeking all the time"

Baseball in Philippines.

Cuba and Japan are mot the only
foreign islands which baseball has
captured. Col. Manuel Quezon, one of
the two commissioners from the Phil
ippines, said in the course of a recent
address in Boston: The PHILIPPINE boy
takes to ysur national game as duck
takes to water. In this sport the
young men are encouraged by their
elders, and it is a common thing to
see from 1000 to 5000 persons wit
Messing an important game. The pub
lie already understands the fine points
of the game, which is, in fact, becom-
ing the national game of the islands.
We have several leagues and teams
that can hold their own with the
teams from the warships.

His Mothers Valentine
Observation-Disclosures

By E. L. HENDERSON

V. J. was valentine. There could
on the 14th of February; his mother
had named him Valentine, and he
bore the outward semblance of one
one, moreover, of that offensive type
pOpularly known as comic
No one knew what V. j. Vincent, as
he invariably signed himself, had suf-
fered from this combination of circum-
stances. Hair of unmitigated red, a
nose of unconventional length, inqulr-
ing ears and a dimpled chin were, he
told himself, heavy enough burdens to
bear, without the necessity of spiling
cheerfully at the endless jokes to
which he submitted on each recurring
18th of February. He had learned to
Q ccept the hair and ears and nose
with resignation but the dimples, per-
p tually laughing at the rest of his
face, were still a sensitive point; and
in a beardless era when fashion de-
manded glazing honesty in chins, a
conspicuous one. He could only fall
back oil an unfailing sense of humor
for support
Y. Us name was appropriate in
more than One respect. In the lace
trimmed. Cupt6-adorned creations dis
played in February, there is usually
found, hiddea under a heart-shaped
leaf, a little apartment warm with
sentiment. In V. Us being, there was
a similar recess, but so cunningly con-
Cealed that few suspected it's exist
ence.
It's sentiment was, however, bub-
bling up on this particular morning
of the 14th CT February as he passed
the Merrill hGme, bound Offfceward.
He had hoped to see Marcia Dillon
at the window, Instead. he caught
smile from her young cousin, Dana
Merrill. Fortunately, he did not
catch the remark that followed it:
Doesn't Val Vincent look like
comic valentine?"
His face is rather an intelligent
one for comic valentine" re-
sponded Marcia "He has good eyes"
oh, yes, bat eyeglasses are not
becoming l wonder if anything
would be very becoming to Val?"
laughed Dana.
He has a I'll forehead" Marcia
spoke in the manner of one deter
mined to see justice done to an IN
promising subject.
It's a high Ole, certainly, and i'm
proving right along. Actually, Maria,
