A Baptist minister out West
preached a missionary sermon
and took for his text: Gasoline
Baptists." He took the position
that every Baptist who was able
to keep an automobile was able
to support a missionary. This
contention. if we'll taken, would
hold good in other churches and
if the clergyman's suggestion is
carried out the missionary fields
will soon be flooded. Some
churches will be able to maintain
several missionaries if the mum
Der of automobiles in the congre-
cation can'be taken as a criterion.

1t does not pay for a man to
spend much time in kicking
himself for a mistake he has
made. 1t will be much more
profitable to spend the time in
curing whether he is now max

make one. Time spent in vain
regrets is worse than wasted.
Time spent in serious forethought

HUSBAND TAKES BRIDES NAME. Hopi Women Reign Supreme in Their Families-Own All Household
 Goods

Among the Hopi the women aTa far from occupying the servile or subordi- nate position. The women own the houses the wife receives the newly married husband into her home; the children belong to her clan and receive her elan name She is considered the owner of all household goods, food supplies and other possessions of the family. The men perform all outside and field labor, cut and carry the wood for fuel, attend to the live stock, and see that the wants of their wives and children are provided for. Ir~ civilized communities this would be considered a matter of course, but among the American Indians it is nowhere paral- leled. This is by no means all that is expected of the Hopi husband They must shear the sheep, card the wool and weave blankets, belts, ceremonial robes and even dresses and shawls for the women. On occasion they must even mind the babies and help with the housewOrk. Strangely enough, the women build the houses, although sthe men must cut the timbers on distant mesas, transport them to the villages

DECLINE 0F HANS WAGNER
Greatest and Most Popular Baseball Player May Be on Slide; Pulled Out for First Time for Pinch Hitter

Is Wagner hitting the toboggan?
 Is that hale. hearty, healthy, hap py Old Hans slated? It certainly looks like old age had got the husky Dutchman at last
 It all came about when Fred Clarke sent in Hamilton Hyatt the other day to pinch-hi the Pirates out of hole. And the only Honua walked sadly back to the bench, re placed for the first time in his long and glorious career. Fly didn't de- liver the goods and Wagner looked al him when he came to the players bench with the look of a dazed man He could have made that biff if only the manager had let him stay And perhaps he thought, what does this mean for my future with the old team? came to the veteran as he sat alone among the many-isOlated from his really sympathetic team mates by his own hurt pride.

Lately his hit record has fallen below 800 for the first time. He moves slowly on the field and some Say he has lost his confident way of playing. His friends claim it is only a slump.

SAILOR TOMS
 LIMITATIONS
Once Great Sharkey Could See Swift Glove Coming But Had to Dodge Print ed Page; Mariner Had Some Great Ideas

Tom Sharkey's avowed and af- firmed intention of e-entering the prize ring after allowing several years to pass over his idle head brings that sailing kid very much into the lime light In fact if the thing is in spected closely, it will be seen that was the purpose of the newspaper break But if the formerly great Sharkey wants his little share of the headlines, let him have it. The following is an anecdote, which shows-well, which shows 'Sailor Tom" Sharkey:
 Tim McGrath was an indulgent per-
 son, and he had to be to manage Tom Sharkey properly. s-. Tom had many fine qualities He could see a freckle on the back of an ladversary's neck-and hit it; he could look right through the retina. of an opponents eye and see what the brain was planning by way of an at tack; but Tom simply couldn't see print
 There was something about the printed and written word that baffled Sharkey, and if the language of the human kind had been all tied down to the one letter "x," it would have been just the same to the sailor At that, Tom couldn't get along without correspondence, and that is where he rung Tim in. "Bedad:" said Tom, in enthusiasm to some friends one day, "iddication ain't what it's cracked up to be. They is them as has become perfessers; ; agin, they is them as didn't have no chanst, and it seems to me as how the worst of 'em gets the best out of life. Newspapers is just good fer wan thing: They gets the crowd of sports out to grab the pastboards-and that helps some"
 Sharkey delivered himself of his idea on education and went on his way rejoicing. But the fellows could not understand just what Tom was driving at.
 day or two later he handed them another bundle of east side philos- ophy.
 .Iddication's a frost." Tom wheezed And me, what never Joint nothing from nobody, pipe me-ahead of that clever gink, Tim McGrath."
 How are you ahead of him?" one of the bunch inquired
 Never mind!' and Sharkey waived his hand mysteriously, and vanished
 Shortly after two of the boys had occasion to go to Toms hotel and then knocked and then busted right in. There was Tom, with a satisfied look on his features; and there also, was Tim, with letter in his hand.
 Hello, Tom; how, Tim!" they carolled.
 Ssh -h!" Sharkey cautioned Me- Grath, however, did not turn to greet them Tom grasped him by the arm, snatched the paper from his hand, and pointed to the callers.
 Tim smiled, put his hands up to his ears, and withdrew two wads of cotton.
 Whats that for?' one of the vis- itorS questioned.

SWING INTO
 HOME STRETCH
Ball Teams Headed for Wire Shape Up Much as in Last Years Pennant Race; Dope Is Every where

It is the generally accepted opinion. the Boston Red Hose have a mortgage on the American league pennant. It is also conceded the Athletics are out of the running. even for second place, though they are ahead of Washington now Last years champion cannot come back The next to last team of 1911 is running easily just back of the bunch that was only two places ahead in the race of last year The first are last and the last are first; Lord Luck giveth and he taketh away, blessed be the name of big league ball,
 Tn the National league the standing of the clubs at the present time could be copied from the finish of last sea son but for one slight change Take today's standing" swap St. Louis and Cincinnati and you have the order in which they passed the tape at the end of last September.
 Even if the Giants win the pennant. there will be a faction of fans who will say the Cubs have the best base ball machine. Some of the National league magnates think so, too, for there is little bit of favOritism to- ward Chicago. They figure if the Cubs get their name into the worlds series the oldest league will stand a better show of being hOnored with the flag And to that end they are said to play politics. If Muggsy's men have to face Joe Wood or even Wal ter Johnson. there will be some specu- latiOn about how they will fare. Both of the American league twirlers are said to be better men than Lou Richie, and everybody remembers what that stout heaver did to the Big Boys.

 THINK ABOUT
Baseball Problem Stumps Wisest Sport; Strike Out Record for Pitchers May Reach 54 in Shut Out Game How?

No matter how deep a student of baseball one may be there are noints mat appear simple indeed are sim pie' but put the fan out in one two three order. A day or two ago in qulry was made to this paper about little ball problem, that should stump nobody, but it certainly took tme and study to dig it out.
 How many srike outs can be cred lied to pitcher in a game not to exceed nine innings that runs to a shut-out?" The reply was 54. but the asker said that he had studied the proposition day and night. that IS, he dreamed it as well as let it occupy his waking hours. He worked all that time to no purposo for his final decision was wrong ab- aolutely, and deserved to be recalled
 Since l have followed baseball, l have yet to see the time when a single pitcher can strike out A men. even if he is able to do it. Twenty seven Is the largest number of men a pitcher can strike out in a nine circle game Three to an inning. nine innings, nine times three is twenty seven, C. F. D"
 But here's the joker the little man on the extra card It is true 27 men will if famed properly retire a base ball team with no scores. But sup pose the catcher fails to stop the last ball, after MT. Batter has swung on 1t? It's a strike out. just the same, even if the man gets to first safe ly, and chances are he will make that little journey. The catcher's errors could fill the bases; then if the pitcher fans three more men and his pal freezes onto the pill after each operation. the side is retired and the man in the box chalked up six IS C.'s"
 Now, then. Six times nine is al legged to be 54, and there you are Some time ago there was a story or the Associated Press about a nation al league pitcher getting four strik< outs in one inning, because by tn. catcher's error one of the batters haC gotten to first base

FLYNN WON IN
 l5TH ROUND
Is Decision of Referee Spider Kelley; Many Bets Held Up Until
 Word Was Given on Dis
 puted Point as to Time

Just how bets will be paid off on
 the Miller-Flynn fight as regards those who bet that Miller could last
 fifteen rounds, is a mooted question and one that appears to be up to Referee Spider Kelly to settle
 Spider decided this the other night when to said:
 T declared Flynn the winner be-
 fcre the sixteenth round was started
 Miller and Parente were arguing in
 their corner during the minutes in-
 termission, and I went over and de-
 ciared Flynn the winner I should
 say that Flynn won his fight in fif-
 teen rounds. I am not settling bets,
 for that isn't my business, but it is
 my opinion that Flynn won in fif-
 teen rounds"
 When Miller went to his corner as
 the gong sounded the close of the i hostiities for the fifteenth round
 he complained that he had been in-
 jured. He turned to his seconds. but
 did not take his chair as if he want
 ed the rest.
 Spider Kelly, without waiting for the gong to sound the start of the sixteenth round grabbed Jim Flynn by the arm and indicated that he was the winner That was before the gong had sounded. remember Willie Carter, one of Miller's sec ords, explained that their intention vas to keep Miller in his corner un- | til the gong sounded and then to have tossed in the sponge in token of de- feat That would have settled the , fight beyond all question as closing in the sixteenth. As it stands, the
 one minute rest is officially to be | considered d part of the fifteenth 1 round. The same question has come lip in other fights as in Burns and Wolgast and the same point of view always has been taken by followers i of the boxing game.
 | Tom Corbett who acted as stake | holder for a number of bets, was somewhat undecided last night as he 1 could get no official statement out of i Referee Kelly. It is likely. however, | that this statement from the Spider
 will satisfy him and that he will pay 1 off as winners those who bet that 1 Miller would not last the fifteen i rounds
 | In this regard Corbett said: Tt is my personal opinion that 1 Flynn won in fifteen rounds, but l want official backing from the ref 1 cree He told me that he would give me no official statement. If he doesn't, I will pay back all money ! wagered.''
