ENGLISHMEN'S GAMES.
Quaint Hindu View of the Beating and
Kicking of Balls.

Quaint Hindu View of the Beating and
Kicking of Balls.
Some amusing descriptions Of East
Indian life are given in Mrs. Penny's
book, 1.-THE Rajah." Here is a Hindu
servants opinion of the English de-
votion to ball games, given to four
-princesses-w whom he was try
ing to enlighten:
"The English" he said, "all play ball.
Some beat balls with iron shod sticks,
standing in the fields and striking with
sufficient force to break mans skull;
wood In front of three sticks that rep
resent their gods, some with corded
spoons over a net wall, some with
long handled hammers as they sit on
horses; some kick the ball with their
feet. The balls are Of all sizes from a
small orange to a mans head"
"By whose orders do they kick and
beat ballsT' be was asked.
by order of their pujarls," the syce
replied, land he must know, because
he serves the writing sahib."
'Why should such an order be CIV
en- ?" asked the second rani
"They are a fierce and warlike peO-
pie, those English, who must be al
ways fighting and beating some one.
1t is by this means only that they are
prevented from killing each other"
But the Missile Sahib-would she,
too, beat and fight?"
"She is strong. Who knows? At
Bombay and Calcutta the English la
dies beat balls over the wall of net.
They do it that they may bear chill
dren fierce and strong like their IA
theirs. When the babies are but few
months old they give them balls to
beat with their little hands and to
creep after as soon as they can move

PETE BRoWNINe,s BATS.
They Still Served the Old SIusser After
He Quit Baseball.

They Still Served the Old SIusser After
He Quit Baseball.
One OF the Oldest and most eccentric
characters baseball has ever produced
was old Pete Browning the famous
slugger, who played with Louisville
around the eighties and later Joined
the Cleveland club in 1890 during the
brotherhood war.
Pete was a little or in his roof gar
den and had only one idea in his head
Eay or night. Anything that concern.
I'd his precious batting average was
meat and drink TO him. 1t made no
difference how many fly balls he drop
ped or let get by him as long as be
landed two or three safe ones during
a game.
Bats were a mania with Browning
and whenever he could pick up club
which suited him it was added to his
enormous collection. So many were
gathered at various points on some of
bis trips that he sometimes was forced
TO pay excess baggage on the prizes.
According to Van Haltren. 1t was
Browning who introduced the habit of
rubbing down a bat with tobacco juice.
which custom is followed to this day
by many of the players. The idea is
to roughen the surface of the stick
and prevent so many fouls slipping of
one side or the other.
Browning. who was a great user of
the weed. used to polish down his
sticks in this way without any appar-
ent reason until he commenced to be-
Ileve that 1t made difference with his
hitting, and after that no wagon tongue
of his ever escaped a coating of the OBJ
noXious fluid.
Other players took it up in the hope
of emulating Browning, and now it is
common custom throughout the coun-
try.
When Pete retired from the game
all the bats, relics of former days,
were still in his possession In order
to keep them always in his sight Pete
had them turned down to a uniform
size and used them as posts for the
baluster in his house.
To the day of his death they remain
ed the most valued of his possessions

IRON AND STEEL
BILL TO PRESIDENT
He Is Expected to Veto the Measure
Tariff Board Has Not Investigated.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The iron and
steel tariff bill today received the sig
natures of Speaker Clark and Acting
President Bacon of the senate and
went to President Taft for his in
spection This is the first of the tariff
revision bills passed by. the democrat
ic- progressive alliance in the senate,
to reach the chief executive, and close
friends Of the president express the
conviction that he will veto it, because
no investigation of the industry has
been made by the tariff board, upon
which to base a scientific tariff re-
vision.
An attempt by the conferees on the
excise tax lbill to reach an agreement
on that measure was not successful.
After a session of over an hour the
conference committee adjourned until
tomorrow. It is understood that the
democrats of the house have not
agreed with the plans of the senate
alliance on this measure. Senator La
Toilette had but five progressives be-
hind him today when he forced
through the senate the compromise
wool tariff bill, representing the agree
ment with the house, being the rates
of the LaFollette and Underwood bikls.
The measure which had passed the
house last week, passed the senate by
a vote of 35 to 2S; and as soon as it
is signed by the proper officers II will
follow the steel bill to the White
house
