game in and game out, there is nobody
who has anything on the New England
boy.
"Stuffy" has the advantage over
Chase in that he is more adaptive to
team play and club discipline and
fights to the last. McInnis impresses a
spectator as playing more for the love
Of the game than the fortnightly check.
Chase, brilliant as he is, sometimes is
mulish. When the Highlanders are
winning he looks like the best player
in the country, but as soon as they
slump Chase becomes morose, and his
game suffers. He is not a leader, but
essentially follower.
Here is a lesson for the fans who
try to make money betting on ball
games.
Hughey Jennings has never bet a
nickel on ball game.
Baseball is too uncertain for me to
risk my money on it," said Hughey.
"After a month or two Of the season
are gone I believe I have a good line
on the ability of the different teams,
but ball teams miss running true to
form as often as they hit it, Candidly,
1 think a man is fool to bet on base
ball"

Detroit could have used Clarence
Mitchell had it retained him instead of
farming him to Providence.
Veteran players pointed out last sum-
mer that Mitchell was not getting
enough work. They declared that he
had as much stun as any left handler
in the league, but that all he needed
was work. He didn't get it, and dur
ing the winter President Navin sent
him to the International league city to
aid the CLANS in their fight for pen
nant.
Since being with Providence Mitchell
has pitched great ball. He has not
been hit with any degree of strength,
and in less than two weeks he pitched
a one hit game, a five hit game and n
four hit game.
The latter was against Rochester,
the 1911 pennant winner, and the fail
ure Of the CLAIMS to properly support
him cost Mitchell the game.

wash-tub. The sewer pipe, which
was four-inch close-joint tile, was
run down the hill from the house
into a drain. No cesspool or tank
was used, but the outlet was con-
verted into a veritable flower gard
en-. The only flies that congregate
about this spot are butterflies. To
assist in absorbing all waste, the
outlet is changed from time to time,
and the former spot covered with
earth.
One thing is very essential, how
ever, for a sewerage system of this
sort; that is, large vent pipe-not
less than two inches-for the toilet
and sinks. We have such a pipe, or
pipes, connecting them to a final
line and butting this into the brick
f1ue of the kitchen. This creates an
upward draft, which sucks out and
keeps the sewer line and drain clean
of all odor and poisonous gases. By
sprinkling chloride of lime in and
! close round the drain now and then,
we are given no trouble with this
part of thte system, and it remains
continually fy-proof.
AS a matter of course, we have
screens at the doors and windows.
The back porch, next to the kitchen,
which is usually a harbor for flies,
we completely screened in. Thus the
kitchen door can be opened when
the room is hot and filled with the
smell of cooking, with no fear of the
! flies swarming in. Here, too, we
placed the stationary wash-tub.
Finally, let it be added, that even
with all these precautions we are
visited by flies; they always come
when such things as cabbage, fish
and meats are cooked, but most of
| them get no closer than the screens.
A wire-screen fy-killer is kept
handy for the few that chance to get
| in.-Dennis H. Stovall, in Woman S

TELLS OF FREAK PLAY.
Detroit Catcher Scored Homo Run on
Strike Out.

Detroit Catcher Scored Homo Run on
Strike Out.
Jack Onslow, one of the Detroit re
cruit catchers, is the hero of one Of the
most peculiar plays ever recorded in
baseball annals, making a complete cir
cult Of the bases on a strlkeout with
out the aid of an error by the opposing
club. Onslow was playing with Dallas
when he earned this unique distinction.
In the game at Fort Worth one day
in 1909 the pitcher had him three and
two in a close game. The deciding
pitch was a curve ball, at which Jack
swung wildly and missed. SO sharply
did the ball break that it struck one OF
the edges of the home plate and bound,
ed into the grand stand, and according
to the rules then in force the batsman
was entitled to trot around the circuit
unmolested. The freak play was a
lucky one for Dallas, as Onslow's run
won the game for that club, 3 to 2
Jack, therefore, had the honor Of scor
ing the deciding tally after being re
corded as struck out while the pitcher
received credit for tanning him and
was charged with a wild pitch at the
same time.

GETTING RID OF
THE HOUSE FLY.
Some Specific Directions for Fight
ing the Pest in the Country.

Ours is a country home, but we
have very few flies. Our method is
based upon the principle of bar
ring and starving" In other words,
we keep them out and give them
nothing to eat,
Fighting the fly in the country is
exceedingly difficult, because of the
wide range and the numerous palces
where the insect can breed. On the
farm the most common of these
places are the barns and manure
piles, pigsties, chicken-houses, and
toilets. We began by making the
barn scrupulously clean. This was
not a difficult task, and no more
than should be done on every coun-
try place. The "fy part" of the
barn is the stables. Using plank
floors, cleaning the stalls both morn
ing and evening, and sprinkling a
little powdered lime about, gave the
flies no chance. The manure was
thrown into a box outside; and this
box is on a sled, ready to be hauled
away at once and thrown on the
garden or fallow land. Powdered
lime sprinkled in the box, when
empty, keeps this fly-proof.
Then came the barring and
starving" process for the house
Both for convenience and comfort
we installed a complete plumbing
system, with hot and cold water, in
the house. In this day Of gasolene
engines, hydraulic rams, and other
simple as well as economical meth
DDS of installing water systems,
every farm home should have a
plant of this sort. This required a
sewer system, but the one drain and
line of waste pipe also sufficed for
the kitchen sink and stationary

keller TELLS OF UNIQUE
BET WITH BEAUMONT.

Willie Keeler, exponent of the
timely art of hitting where they
amt" told one on Clarence Beau
mont, the old Pittsburgh-Chi-
cago player.
1T happened in the morning
game of July 4, 1908, while the
Allegheny river was jumping
around the twenty foot stage"
said Keeler. ''The high stage
sent the river close to second
base, but we were almost knee
deep in water out in the out
fields. We were in muddy water
all the time, so to speak, and our
accommodations were better for
water polo than baseball. Beau
and / kidded each other every
time we changed positions dur
ing the innings, and finally |
made a dare with Beau that the
one of us who made the last
catch of the game should dive
into the muddy water. 1t was a
funny bargain to make, and to-
ward the end of the game !
hoped that Wagner and the 9th
er long hitters would hit to some
other field than mine. Poor Beau
mont finally had to make catch
toward the close Of the game.
But Beau was game. He kept
his bargain by diving into the
muddy water and bringing up a
handful of mud"

Manager DOOM Particularly Sweet on
Young Steinbrenner.
Eugene Stelnbrenner is to stay with
the Phillies throughout the season.
President Horace Fogel believes he
has picked a coming star in the Pitts
burgh youth. "Steiny," as he is now
familiarly called, was recommended to
the Philadelphia club last season, and
Fogel Immediately got his John Han
cock to a contract. This contract
called for delivery in 1913.
Fogel had no intention of calling the
young man before then, but the recent
injuries, coming so thick and fast,
compelled the club to hustle around
for talent. Steinbrenner's father
wished his son to continue his scholas
tic work, but, after talking matters
over with the Phlllie's president, very
generously decided to let his son join
the team.

BY TOMMY CLARK.

Philadelphia baseball experts say
"Stuffy" McInnis of the Athletics is
the most valuable first baseman in the
game today. He is a far more valuable
player than Hal Chase and has the box
scores to prove it. For one thing, Nc
Innis is a harder hitter than the High
lander star. There is not much differ
ence in the fielding. Chase perhaps
will make more brilliant plays in a
season than his younger rival. but for
steady, sure and conscientious work.

Who started off that story Of the
youthfulness of Buck O'Brien, the
Boston American pitcher who twirled
so wonderfully for Denver last sea
son? O'Brien is thirty years old If he
is a day, and perhaps thirty-two years
would not cover the distance the twirl-
er has journeyed on life's bright path
way.
But there's no denying that o'Brien
is great pitcher, but then that
youngster stuff was getting rather
monotonous to the eye and ear.

 The old bunk about a good cx- ecutive having d finger in every pie and string on every person in the place has been chloroform- ed and given respectable bur Ial. The wise ones now figure that a good executive is the one who can get the most work done and do the least himself.
 Ripley, president of the Santa Fc, had the right dope when he used as a motto, ."Organizr. drp- utize, supervise"
 Every employee in every busi- ness wants to feel that the busi- ness, in a measure, is dependable upon his individual effort.

MONIES SUMMER TRADE
 WITH SIBERIA $116,0oO

The$slrade of Nome with Sf- beria during the present year amounted to $Ii5,O0O, or almost exactly to the same sum as the trade of last year. Two years ago the trade was greater but the falling off is due to the efforts now being made by Russian trad CTS to obtain some of the ben efitS from the growing imporL- ance of the Siberian coast np- pOsite Nome.
 lt has been said that even Rus sian warships make the most of their opportunities by engaging in little trade on their own ac- count. Once it was said that a Russian war vessels crew had sold h0otch to the natives in the course of their trading, but this story lacks the evidence that would he required to give the story good foundation.
 The extent of the trade with siberia if that territory is open ed will br of the utmost import ancr [" Nome. traders generally believe. Now with Siberia in it's industrial infancy it's trade with Nome amounts tO about $50 per head of the population of this ciiy.--Nnnie Nugget

Mrs. Mary J. Blount.

Mrs. Mary J. Blount passed away at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. A.
Dean, Friday afternoon at two o'clock.
She had been in her usual good health
until the forenoon of the preceding
day, when she suffered a shock. Mrs.
Blount, who was born in Derby, cele-
brated her 88th birthday August 26th.
For the past eighteen years she has
lived in Orleans with her daughter
and was the last of family of six
children. For person of her age, she
was unusually strong and was able to
be out of doors even the day before
she was stricken. A woman of fine
character, she had many friends who
will miss her greatly but the inspira-
ton of her calm and peaceful life will
remain. The abundance of beautiful
flowers which were sent is evidence OF
the esteem of the numerous friends,
who so sincerely sympathize with the
bereaved ones. The funeral was held
Sunday at one O'Clock, Rev. E. w. Ell
bridge officiating, and the burial was
in Pleasant View cemetery. There are
left to mourn her death two daugh
tiers. Mrs. Hattie E. Cleveland and
