NOTES

The Brooklyn club has released Out
fielder Coulson to the Newark club.
Hilltop patrons rather like the play
ing of Zinu. He handles fly balls with
judgment and ease.
Chase is fielding his position as well
as ever, but always has hit better
than he is now doing.
Higgins, the new Brooklyn catcher,
handles himself like an old timer. He'll
get chance in a regular game some
day.
Big Tesreau Of the Giants looks as
If he would have a regular turn in
the box. He's got everything. includ-
ing nerve.
Louden, last years Newark infield-
er, has made a big hit at Detroit s
third base and Hugh Jennings says he
will keep him there.
If the Cincinnatis will take $4,000
fer the release of the Cuban outfielder
Narsans the Washington club will pay
that amount in jiffy
Griffith has the Washingtons fight
Ing and hustling for everything. and
likewise he's rather a nuisance with
his chattering from the bench.
Russell Ford. Ed Walsh. Nap Ruck-
er, Walter Johnson and Christy Math-
ewson are pitchers of note who have
been subjected to defeat this season.
There is still hope for the High
landers. Only few years ago a Bos-
ton team started off the season with
nine straight defeats and yet it won
the championship.
The magnates are partially con-
vinced that the championship season
begins too early. but they don't con-
template a change in view of the way
the fans crowd around the box office
windows.
Pitcher George Bell. formerly Of
Brooklyn, has notified Manager Nc
Ginnity OF Newark, that he will be
unable to play this season on account
Of having had floating cartilage re-
moved from his knee.
Many competent authorities figure
the Boston Nationals % per cent.
stronger than they were last season.
and there are Boston fans willing to
wager high hats, neckties and boxes Of
candy that the Braves will finish In
the first division.
Theodore Breitenstein, the veteran
Ieft-hand pitcher, who was 100000
beauty many years ago. has at last
abandoned himself to fate. He has
accepted position as umpire in the
Southern league, where. they say. the
fans have perfect control and the pop
bottles never miss their mark.

START OF CHARLEY O'LEARY
Was Messenger Boy Of II When He
Broke Into Fast Company
Now With indianapolis.

The release by Detroit OF Charley
OLeary, who goes to Indianapolis, re-
calls an interesting story Of his entry
into professional baseball. From q
messenger boys uniform to that OF
major league club all in one after
noon was the lightning change he
made.
O'Leary had played ball aro1nd the
lots in Chicago all his life and had dis
tinguished himself as the star of the
MandeI Bros. nine. One afternoon in
1900 he was sent out to the White
sux park when the South Side team
was new in Chicago. 1t happened the
shortstop, Shugart, had been injured
and the club was not provided with a
capable man to take his place. The
Sox really were in desperate straits
and hardly knew how they would fill
in their lineup until somebody who
knew OLeary spied him and said:
There is kid who can play the
infield; give him a chance"
The manager asked OLeary If he
thought he could fill the bill and Dip,
who was willing to take a chance on
almost anything. replied that the job
was made to order for him. They
dug up uniform for the boy, then
but seventeen, and he doffed his mes
senger's togs.
He made good from the jump and
might have finished the season with
the Sox if he hadn't sustained a broken
arm as a result of stopping one OF
"Rube" WaddelPs wild ones with his
person.
OLeary went to Des Moines of the
Western league the next season and

"a COUNTRY READER" "

The working housekeeper's hands
have many injurious influences to en-
counter but the very worst Of them is
the constant immersion In water
which dishwashing and other cleaning
up involve. Rapid changes from hot
to cold water, and the reverse. are
very hard on the hands, the changes
of temperature making the nails brit
tie and scoring them with the ridges
so often seen on much-used hands.
The texture Of the skin is also coars-
ened. while the soaps used in all
forms of housework, being full of al
kali, may so attack the delicate flesh
about the nails as to loosen them So
proper care OF the nails certainly
means a proper care Of all the hands,
and it Is easy enough to protect them
when doing some forms Of coarse
work. There are heavy white cotton
gloves for sweeping and busting which
cost only ten cents pair. Before put
ting these on, the palms and nails
should be creased with olive oil or
vaseline, either unguent rubbed we'll
into the skin and all about the nail
scarf. The gloves should also be regu-
larly washed, for when they are
grimed with dirt they are certainly
useless for beautifying purposes.
With these gloves and mop, dishes
and cooking utensils may be washed
without injury to the hands. or If
preferred, rubber gloves could be used
for the dishwashing.
The first care of hands injured with
hCusework begins with the cleansing
bath, with soft water barely more
than tepid. and the soap of very
good sort. II the water used is hard
soften it with a teaspoonful of borax,
and before using the soap shave it up
and boil II down to jelly. Get a
cake of good old CASTLE for the pur-
pose, and after the soap Is dissolved
pour in about half cup of benzoin,
stirring it we'll into the jelly. Begin
the bath by wetting the hands, and
then rub the jelly on them, working
the hands together in the usual way
as when using soap. Wash off in one
water and then rinse in another of the
same temperature, drying the hands
at once on a clean, soft towel.
Such a hand bath should be taken
every night before going to he'd. and
when the hands are dry some unguent
must be rubbed at once over and
about the nails either olive Gil or vas
cline, as hitherto stated
AS numerous baths, even with the
best soap and softest water. are not
always good for sensitive naIis and
delicate skin, it Is wise to clean the
hands several times during the day
with olive oil or palm oil: if the hands
are well rubbed with either of these.
then busted with talcum powder, and
wiped off with a coarse and yet soft
towel. the soil will be entirely re-
moved. Coarsened nails are much i'm
proved, too, by the wearing of loose
old white kid gloves, both during the
day and at night while the regular
gloves worn should also be fairly loose
and of a soft leather such as chamois
or doeskin
