BASEBALL NOTES

August 26 is the date OF each year
on which becomes effective the pro-
hibition OF "the sale of the realise of
a player by q minor league club to
major league or minor league club
within twenty days or during the
drafting PERIOD" according to J sthe
National league. Attention OF clubs Is
particularly directed to the further
prohibition Of the sale of q players
release by g. minor league club with
in twenty days of the close Of the sea-
son for the club disposing Of the play
er." The intention Of this legislation
is to prevent clubs of lower classifi-
cation, whose season closes prior to
September Is, from covering up play
ers through collusion with major
league club or minor league club OF
higher classification.
They sometimes climb the manly
frame of Lefty Humes and give him
an unmerciful beating. But when
Lefty Is working right, he Is hard to
find. He held the Monmouth Browns
to six hits in two games, three to
each spasm Saturday. That is going
some. Jimmie Dunn held the Swatting
Hannibelles to seven blows In two
games, 2 in one and In the other.
This feat Of Lefty's has James beat
one hit.
Common occurrences in the days
|news-Edwin Wise poled home run
with the bases full in the frst game
between the Speed Boys and the
Ducklings Sunday afternoon. (Edi-
tors note.) For the love OF Ned Egan
and the rest OF the flock, why didn't
he do 1t twice In the second game.
Golly but the Ducks did land on
Brother Gregory yesterday. They
poled nine hits In four innings Smith
went in and allowed but two In the
second inning he levelled. Beach and
Dunn divided honors yesterday. In
the first Dunn gave but hye slaps in
nine frames while Beach oozed forth
but four In seven frames. Maggie
MCGEE and Gregory also split only
Maggie got the biggest end Of the
splitting. Maggie is the girl that wal
loped~ us 80 terribly here one sum-
mer's day. That Is getting even.
Jimmie Wall was spiked In the sec
ond game yesterday and forced to re-
tire. II he is laid out. Ned will prob
ably resign Kline from the brush.
Hope to goodness, such is not the
case for Wall Is badly needed on the
old third sack right now He got him
self three hits in the first and one in
the second.
The Burlington-Keok game yester-
day is somewhat surprising. The In
dians touched Stats Willis for eleven
hits and Sloan was only punctured for
four Nevertheless the Cowboys won
1 to 8. The difference comes In the
errors. the Queisserites getting four
and Burlington but one.

not known, for just in the nick OF
time Bridget came out of the kitchen
and saw the racers, and it didn't take
her long to put the enemy to rout.
She jerked up a broom and put out
after the old, gobbler, and he went
pell-mell to the barnyard, rushing In
among his defeated ROSTERS for
safety.
But the young roosters had no pity
for him, and divided, giving Bridget
and the broom plenty of space TO
reach the huge, cowardly boaster.
And after Bridget had frightened
the life out of old Turkey Gobbler,
she turned round and went back to

up and ate their supper in a very

with her duties along the lines of
least resistance, which is to say, she
did everything in the simplest man

slight the work. She proceeded to
slight the supper on this particular
evening, and when Teddy came run
ming in to ask her If there was to be
a turkey and cranberry sauce for
Thanksgiving, she pushed him out of
her way. Grossly replying:
i've made no plans for tomorrow,
Ted. I've had my lessons to prepare

thing extra tomorrow. Papa's not
saying word about Thanksgiving.

that Aunt Grace was entirely recov-

that she'd be home with us on

nwoR ever and ever SO long old
- Turkey Gobbler had been the
u king of the barnyard. He just

= Turkey Gobbler had been the
Va king of the barnyard. He just
strutted about giving orders, so
10 speak, to every fowl thereabouts,
and when his gobble, gobble, gobble,
was ignored by some young rooster or
brave hen, he let the one who had
dared know that he was big and pow
erfui In that he was strong and domi-
neering.
And so It had come about that old
Turkey Gobbler was heartily disliked
as well as feared by those comprising
the barnyard colony. And not only
did those who lived In his company
and moved in his set fear Turkey Cob
bier, but little six-year-old from the
big white house which faced the road
also feared him. This individual was
Richard Lincoln, and he loved to go
to the barnyard of sunshiny days to
play, but whenever he saw old Tur-
key Gobbler etrutting flercely to-
wards him he beat hasty retreat.
One day, Just before Thanksgiving,
the fowls were holding sort of pic
MO. The day was fine and warm, and
the sun shone 80 delightfully."- that 1t
seemed TO put bigger hearts into the
feathered creatures in the barnyard,
so they had come together to make
merry Old Turkey Gobbler had
etrayed off into a great meadow and
the other fowls hoped he would not
return till they had done with their
celebrating the fine day. There were
the guinea fowls, the ducks, the geese
and the chickens. all assembled to-
sether like a happy family. Even the
turkey hens came in their peaceful,
quiet way to participate in tho good
time. They, too, were glad of the abb
sence of the old gobbler, for while
they did not really fear him, they
did not like his cross, boastful ways.
well, we're all here to make
merry" said young rooster, tapping
his wings and Growing unsteady.
Then several other roosters Joined in
and the barnyard fairly echoed with
their morning song. Then the hens
of each family began to caclSle, and
the chorus reached to the ears of old
Turkey Gobbler In the meadow. He
lifted up his small head, stretched
out his long neck and listened. Yes,
the sound of merriment came from
his own domainl So off he started to-
wards the barnyard. He decided to
put the party 10 TOQl, WHICH no GER
tainly did. He strutted into the very
midst OF the assembled fowls and be-
gan to gobble in a hideous manner.
Then he screamed forth: you var
let's. how dare you to do this merry
making without my consent? 1 am
ruler here-for I am King OF The
Barnyard And to make you know
my greatness, I shall give you all
chastising."
So saying, old Turkey Gobbler be-
gan chasing the young ROSTERS about
the yard, and the hens of every fam
lily took themselves into hiding in the
wood pile and behind straw stacks.
But not SO the young ROSTERS. They
tried lighting back, but to no avail,
old Turkey Gobbler was so tall. so
strong, and such mean old fighter,
that he whipped the entire bunch of
roosters, and sent them scattering
about the place, some flying upon
roosts in the coop while others got
upon high fences.
Then did the old gobbler strut
about. Boosting of his power. IT can

About Cats

EA EVER pick cat up by the loose
~ skin on the back of its neck. A
physician tells us that the nerves
of cat enter the brain from the spine
just as they do in human being, and
that a cat must suffer agony of pain
while being carried in this cruel man
ner. We have seen mother Tabby
carrying her little kits in this fashion.
but she has no hands with which to
and feelings for dumb animals. and
we should never handle them in way
to cause them to suffer. A cat should
be lifted under the body, one hand
beneath her and the other at her back.
In this way her weight does not hang
from any one part Of her body. I'm
agine, if you can, how it would feel
TO be picked up by the nape of the
neck, your body handing loosely down.
your whole weight dragging on that
one handful of skin at the back of
the neck. 1t wouldn't be an agreeab BILE
sensation, would it? Well, remember
that the cat has feelings as we'll as
yourself, and that she suffers untold
agony when being tossed about by the
back of the neck.
