EDDIE FOSTER A STAR
His Work Has Been Beneficial to
Washington.
Former Rochester Player Not Thought
Good Enough for New York Gil
ants Has Proven Tower of
Strength for Griffith.

There are innumerable instances
where good ball players have been let
out by one major league club only to
become stars for another after little
experience in a minor league. Eddie
Foster is one Of these. The question
Is often asked how Foster came to get
away from New York. That club sent
him to Rochester with the agreement
that it would have the pick of the
team in the fall. 1t Is said that John
Camel, the manager of that club, gave
it as his opinion that Foster would not
be of any help to his team, and he
then consented to the sale of Foster
to Washington, a deal which he un-
1oubtedly has had reason to regret.
Maurice Rath furnishes another in
stance of where a good ball player
was allowed to slip through the hands
of two major league clubs and is now
making good for the White Sox with
a vengeance. Philadelphia and Cleve-
land both had Rath, but he made good
for neither because he was not played
at the position where he belonged.
They tried him at third and he failed,
willie he appears to be a wonderfully
clever player at second.
What a wonderful difference the ad-
dition of one man can make in ball
team is proved in the case of Foster.
While of course there have been many
other changes in the makeup of the
Nationals since last season, none Of
these appears to have been as beneti-
cial to the team as the acquisition of
Foster. He has filled a place where
the team. has always been weak and
by his clever work at the bat has
filled even a greater gap.
To Foster belongs the credit for
most of the victories the Nationals
have earned this spring. When he has
not taken part in the offensive end
of the game he has prevented disaster
by his remarkable fielding around
third base. With player less capable
than he covering that position, it can
be easily figured that three or four Of
the games which have been won would
have been defeats.
On what he has shown this spring
Foster is a remarkably clever ball
player in every respect. One wonders
that man of his ability should have
spent SO long a time in the minor

Stealing bases is not for the fact
Of stealing bases alone" said Fred
Clarke in discussing the running end
of baseball 1T is double-headed ak
that works for or against you two
ways. The fast man who steals bases
not only advances himself toward the
plate, but he unsteadies an opposing
pitcher more or less and often helps
the man who follows him to a base
on balls. Stealing bases may bring
bases on balls, bad throws and other
fortunate points to your side. but the
attempt may waste run for you and
cost the game"

lieve her suffering. He supplied her
with appetizing food and at the risk Of
his life delivered messages to hei
friends. During the long siege OF her
trial he faithfully served her in every
manner, and when the Inquisition final
ly condemned her to death at the
stake he was heart-broken The bish-
op of BeauvaiS ordered her Bible and
rosary to be destroyed. denying her
the consolation of religion, so far as
his power extended Crushed and hu-
inflated, she awaited her terrifying
fate The keeper, at her request, pro-
cured rosary from a sympathetic
priest, who was powerless TO aid the
maid. She was quite overcome by
the keepers devotion, and blessed him
many times.
Finally, the day set for the awful
event arrived and the innocent vic
tim of superstition was led forth from
her prison tower to pay the price OF
her service to Charles VII. of France.
When the light had been applied TO
the fagots and the flames rose about
the frail form OF Jeanne d fare, the un-
relenting bishop discovered the ros-
ary suspended at her side. He order
ed priest to remove it, but as he
drew near the sanity Jeanne the
flames formed forbidding barrier,
which no one could brave.
The rosary is the cherished treasure
of the little woman, who is the only
surviving member of her family. She
claims that the rosary possesses the
power of consolation. however great
the sorrow may be.
Dear Jean, you should know her!
She is the personification of peaca and
repose.

arrange to join us there!

Mine RATS SWARM
OUT AFTER FOOD
Suspension of Work in the An
thracite Region Leaves Them
Without Kind Friends

Wilkesbare, Pa.-The suspension of
mining in the anthracite region the
past several weeks has brought about
a plague of rats in most of the mining
towns. Rats are to be seen every
where. They have overrun the Gel
lars and outbuildings in the towns of
Warrior Run and Sugar Notch. When
the mines are working the rats, which
are Of great size, make their home in
the underground workings. The min
ers make pets Of them and feed them
from their pals.
The average miner is superstitious
enough to believe that If the rats re-
