BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

While Fred Clarke is training his Pirates down South extensive prepa- rations will be. made at Forbes F cid for the 1912 campaign. President Dcey- fuss has awarded the contracts for all the. improvements. The big sta- dium will be painted from base to. roof This work. cannot be started until the weather moderates, but the contractor promises to- be out of the building two weeks before the open ing game with St. Louis, on April 13. Another improvement will be the re- election Of the playing field, so as to make the left foul line terminate at the intersection of the left field bleach- CT and the left field fence. At pres ent the foul line ends at the left field bleacher about fifty feet west of the fence The change was ordered by Clarke for the benefit of his success sor, no matter who it may be. Clarke believes that the Pittsburg left fielder who had to play 77 games at home was at a disadvantage with the line in the old location. Under the new plan any CTS will be foul. At present the short est distance from the home plate to an. obstruction in the outfield is 300 feet, but the new arrangement will make the shortest foul line more than $50 feet
 Third Baseman Harry Steinfedlt and Pitcher Bob Ewing, veterans of the pastime and a few years ago ranked among the. real stars, will be given. trials to "come back with the Car dinals, according to Roger Bresnahan.- Neither is signed member of the squad, but during the winter they com-. municated with the Dock and asked for chance to make good once more. Roger consented, and, believing that there is a year or two Of maJor league ball left, ordered both to be at the training quarters.
 It seems peculiar that Bresnahan should call upon these two veterans. It always has been his policy to cater to the kids and youths of promise, but no doubt there. is a motive in back. of it all. Calling upon -Steinfeldt, hew- ever, shows that Bresnahan is look ing upon Mike Mowrey as a real. hold out and may be is using Steinfe1dt as ruse pure and simple to force the Baltimore lad into signing.
 Harry Sallee picks the Cardinals to come in fourth this fall, maybe third. not out of the first division anyway, and sees a good chance to fight 1t out for the pennant. He has given Rog- CT Bresnahan his word that he has tasted his last drop of fluid of alco- holic blend and finished with the state- ment that his word is his bond from now on These are just two of the startling and pleasing phrases for the National leaguers and delivered by the chap who two years ago tossed as.de his fellow mates and in 1911 blasted the hopes of St. Louis owning a team in the big four.
 NO athlete ever looked in better health than does Harry Sallee right at this moment says Mound City
 scribe. His build never did resem. ble Frank Gotch. and whenever he tips the scale around 160, he is at fighting weight. Now his poundage Is 164 and the extra ounces were gained as a re- suit of the quiet and peaceful win- ter spent around the family residence at Higginsport, Ohio. where some 500 folks are congregated.

SMALL CROWD SEES
 GOOD WRESTLING BOUTS

The wrestling show at Sokol hall, last night, drew a small crowd. Ko- marek, who called himself the BoIe- milan champion, did not make a very good showing. It took him 16 min utes to gain a fall from Frank Hil- vasa, and in the second bout Zdenek lasted eight minutes with Komerek. A grappler named Prochaska, who halls from New York, went on with Komerek and neither gained a fall There were several good preliminar- ies

Richter, who is believed to be of
prominent German parentage came to
Chicago with the intention of study

emily he was known to no one in
Chicago.
He took the room at the Schneider
hotel with the condition that he

paws clawing at the window sill just
after his master had fallen.
The accident that resulted in Rich

caused by a nightmare. Several ped

the man clinging to the outer edge
of the window. He was screaming for
help. Before aid reached the window
Richter had become exhausted and
fell to the street, his. scull was frac-

When the door to the room was
forced open the dachshund was seen

Asked whether or not the club life

Mrs. HUT said:
~ don't believe. there is any one
thing largely responsible for so much
breaking up of homes in New York
in club and social circles. One ex-
planation why so many wives Of club
men come to Reno for their divorces
is found in the fact that they have

Dundee. Scotland, Sept. 6.-The
most interesting feature of the open
ing session today of the British asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence was the presidential address Of
Professor f. A. Schaefer of Edin-
burgh University, which dealt with
the nature, origin and maintenance of
life. He said, in part:
1--WE may fairly conclude that all
changes in living substance are
brought about by ordinary chemical
and physical forces" Further on, he
said:
at has been proved that We can
no longer consider such an apparent
" vital phenomenon as the fertiliza-
ton of the egg as being the result of
living material brought to it, since it
is possible to start the process of di-
vision of the cell in the egg and the
resulting formation of cells, and ulti-
mately of all the tissues and organs;
in short, to bring about the develop
ment of the body simple chemical re-
action is substituted for the male ele-
ment in the process of fertilization.
We some day hope 10 see the mate
rial which composes the nucleus of
cell life prepared by the combination
Of the proper substances"
He said that research seems to
point to the conclusion that the pos
sibility of the production of life
that is, of living materials not so
remote as has been generally assum-
ed"

Suit was commenced today by Ed
ma P. Smith against her husband,
Benjamin F. Smith, for a divorce, the
plaintiff being represented by Hinkle
& Warner, well known Hermiston
law firm. In her complaint, Mrs.

CHICAGO WOMAN TALKS ON
ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN
Men Are Taking Interest in Move"
Declares Miss Alice Henry-Higher
Wages and Shorter Hours Favored.

Kansas City, Mo.-The importance
of the organization of women in la
Dor, not only to themselves, but to
men, was emphasized by Miss Alice
Henry of Chicago, editor of the Off
cial organ of the National women's
Trade Union league, in an address at
Labor temple here.
THE thing that strikes me in my
trips through the country" said Miss
Henry, sis the interest men every
where aretaking in the woman's
movement. If the women do not or
ganize to protect themselves, the
lower wages which they receive will
force down the wage scale of the
men.
At the present time 5000. 900 girls
in the United States are working for
an average wage of Sc a week, which
means that some are getting less than
that. To be efficient, women laborers
must have higher wages and shorter
hours"

NAY DEPEND ON THE WOMAN.
Jury Thinks Man Can Hug Woman Two
Hours.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 26.-Can q man
hug O woman two hours at stretch?
This question occupied the atten-
ton of Justice Erlanger and jury
in the Superior Court for quite o
while during the trial Of the divorce
suit brought by Lieut.. Adam Neu-
berth, against Sarah Neuberth.
1t nad been alleged by a detective,
employed by the plaintiff. who was
on the stand the day, before, that
William HI. Zehr, correspondent, had
Rugged Mrs. Neuberth all the way
from Coney Island to 125th street.
Manhattan, on boat. The detective
said Zehr took no recess but just
Rugged and Rugged for the whole
two hours required for the trip.
H. 7. Marshall, counsel for the CO.
respondent, declared that there was
something wrong somewhere because
nobody could hug that long.
No man ON earth mot even San
dow" he said, could sit with his
arms around woman's waist for two
hours without making o move OF
some kind. Just think of sitting for
two hours perfectly still, with ONES
arm around anotherp'
The jury obeyed. 1t thought
seriously OF such a proposition and
then retired. After celebrating for
three hours, the jury returned and
announced verdict for the husband,
thus making it appear that an cndur-
ance hug of two hours isn't outside
the range of possibility after all.
The only query arises. does long
continuance aggravate the offense in
any way?
