of 400 crowns; and they were made
eligible to serve on councils and grand
and petit juries. After the strenuous
efforts on the part of women the par
lament, rather the storthing of 1907,
by a vote of So to %, conferred the
complete franchise on all who pos
sessed the municipal. This included
about 100000 of the half million wo-
men. They were made eligible for
the storthing and at the first election
in 1909 one was elected as alternate
or deputy and last year took her seat
with a most enthusiastic welcome
from the other members. In 1910,
by vote of II to 10, the tax paying
qualification for the municipal vote
was removed. In 1911 a bill to abol-
ish it for the full suffrage was carried
by a large majority in the storthing,
but lacked five votes of the necessary
twot thirds. 1t will pass next year.
More than twice as many women as
voted in 1907 went to the polls in
1910 at the municipal elections. Last
year 178 women were elected to city
councils, nine to that of Christiania.
This year PIG were elected and 379 al
ternates to fill vacancies that may oc-
cur.

Nashville. Tenn. June 22.-The first step by Manager Schwartz towards strengthening the tail-end Volunteers was made this week when he prac- tically closed deal with Brooklyn for the purchase of Pitcher Morrow. big lcft-hander from Perdue University who is said to have very bright future before him. Morrow took the spring training trip with the Trolley Dodgers and made favorable impression, all though he was not looked upon as ripe for the big tent. He was discovered by Larry Sutton, scout of Brooklyn, and that well known authority declared while in this city some time ago that he would make wonder in Class A ball.
 It is generally conceded here that the Volunteers need strengthening in more ways than one. A good pitcher will help. but the failure of Second Baseman Clayton Perry and Third Base man Joe Mcdonald to live up to ex- pectations has so<en the severest blow to the local mahager. Perry last year was one of the best hitters In tho league and a classy fielder. This year he has gone back rapidly and no longer seems fiji for this company. If Schwartz can land "a competent second sacker in the near future he will probably let Perry go. sAn attempt was made to get Al outshaw. of the Brooklyn Nationals.

THE MOST PITIFUL SITUATION OF BASEBALL
 IS STAR BASEBALL PLAYER ON A TAILEND CLUB

New York, June 22--An expensive stone in cheap setting is no more out of place than star ball player with a tailend club. The pitiful part of it is the hope lessness of his situation There is a chance for someone to buy the diamond and have 1t reset; there is no chance for a tailend club to part with a star under any consideration. At times this almost leads one to doubt the wisdon-at least the justice-of the reserve clause of or ganized baseball contracts that binds human property to club owners indeh- ntely

V Chattanooga. June 22.--fspecial)- otto Jordan, the $Iajoie of the South ern league, has devised means of the sacrifice play, which, &C., ccrding to his umps. Sir Rndderham. Is the best and only logical way of nuhi- fying the effects of self-immolation by opposing batsmen.
 With man on first and none down the first sacker. of course. is forced to play in along the first base line to field the expected bunt of the next batsman. This position of the initial sscker allows the runner almost invari- ally a lead which permits him to pro- ceed to the second cushion with but slight probability of being retired. In case this lead Is not allowed the man at second Is even easier to retire than the man at first and 1t Is to prevent just this lead that Jordan has devised his new defensive play.
 The formation of the infield when ready for the new departure is exactly the same as in ordinary bunt formation but just as the hurier bexins to wind

MANAGER SCHWARTZ STARTS
 TO STRENGTHEN VOLUNTEERS

but Dahlen found it necessary to play him regularly and now he is considered fixture at the keystone bag with the Dodgers Cutshaw is exceedingly fast and also good hitter.
 Want New Infielders
 Mcdonald has fallen down consider ably in his hitting of late and is not fielding as he should. Johnny Lindsay at short Is very satisfactory from a fielding standpoint and is hitting better than last year.
 Nashville has no complaint to make of the outfield with James, Welchonce and Young. all hitting well. This Is fast trio and one that would help any team. Behind the bat Elliott is just rounding into form and should help the team a good deal from this time on.
 Lack of speed is the chief thing that is hurting the locals chances this year and unless some new blood is infused into the line we can boast of no good base runners as most of them are ex- tremely weak in this department of the game.
 The pitching staff is nothing to brag of but is not exceptionally weak. Teddy Fair. Earl Fleharty. Charlie Case and Joc Neely are the right handlers and Rudy Summers. the only southpaw. It is probable that If Manager Schwartz could get his hands on some good twirl CTS he would tie the can to one or more of the present staff.

JORDAN INVENTS NEW PLAY

up Jordan speeds toward the initial sack, driving the runner back to that station The first baseman hurries over toward the spot left vacated by Jordan and the hurler Is left to field the bunt in case 1t goes along the line.
 The advantage of this play, (which consists of nothing more than com rlete and lightning shift of position by the first and second basemen, that the baserunner is inevitably upon the initial sack or starting toward it when the bunt is hit and he has no earthly chance to reach second without the perpetra- tion of an error.
 The play has been worked by the local club with huge success and in two instances double plays have resulted as the bunter invariably loafs expecting to bo an easy out at first. After the play has been worked and the baserunner on the next attempt refuses to be driven back to the bag the hurler serves up a pitchout and the runner Is invariably caught in the chase for an out after a quick peg to Jordan on first by the re- ceiver. It is some play and few men other than Otto would have devised It.

 a club that went about it's work every man for himself" He was. also, one of the best base runners in the big show and this with no assistance from his mates. Wolter. laid up. a great deal through sick ness, was nevertheless one of the best all round gardeners in the national pastime.
 Hal Chase, like Ty Cobb, has estab- lished such a reputation for himself that he would come in for his lions share of glory if he were to play with class z outfit. Chase has come to be regarded as an institution. There is no doubt that he was one of the greatest diamond sensa- tions of the age. As a kid breaking Tn he made 'Jiggs" Donohue and Fred Ten ney look as if they were rooted to the ground. Chase played the greatest ball of his career in 1911 as manager of the Highlanders This spring he has Neen very backward in striking his gait owing to long spell of sickness. When he does get right and as long as he stays right Hal Chase will be the king of all first sackers. But the moment he lets foot slip he will find new monarch on the throne
 Many will tell you even now that Cha;s ranks second to Jake Daubert And here we are getting back to our theme of stel- lar performers not fully appreciated be- cause or enNlIonfnent. 3eFldlniS the poOSt- CTS of the Brooklyntes have every req son just now to assume this attitude. Next to Chase, Dauhert is the finest field ing piece of works iu -anized baseball. He is every bit as iy at killing oil sacrifice hits, although he Is not so quick. He has a wonderfully accurate throwing arm and is much surer in both his pegs and his elsitches-4
 { While Hal pulls more sensational stuff Al. ..t. Ia. ,lua muns more easy losses than any three. The hardest sort of wild chucks he nails with one hand and simply eats up ap- parently impossible pickups Daubert has neither the reach nor the range of Chase consequently his inheld takes trifle more care in throwing than do the Yankees.
 Where Daul1.rt lays it all over Chase this year is in hitting. Jake has been go- ing along at terrific clip and after more than two months of the fight has been left behind finds himself well above the .35s mark He Is a pretty shifty fellow on the paths, too. and if with club that was encouraged to use its speed would undoubtedly be a base runner of more than average ability.
 Daubert is a far better ball player this season than he was last and in 1911 he was 5o per cent better than in 1910. He'll be better still in 1913 for he Is learning all the time He has to learn for he is not a genius like Chase But he'll wear Halls crown if the latter doesn't wake up pretty soon.

Apples for Insomnia

Efudi t1lt FdlfIIIy DOctOr-
 People ought to know that the very best thing they can do is to eat apples just before retiring for the night. Persons un- itiated in the mysteries of the fruit are liable to throw up their hands in horror at the visions Of dyspepsia which such a sug- gestion may summon up. but no harm can come even to delicate system by the eat ing of ripe and juicy apples before going to bed.
 The apple, proceeds this authority. is ex- eellent brain food because it has mora phosphorie acid in easily digested shape than any other fruits. It excites the action os the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly dsinfects the mouth. This is not all: the apple prevents indiges- ton and throat diseases.
