Like Horses, Also Assist In Build
Ing New Roads-city 10 Very
Cosmopolitan.

Hong Kong, CHINA popularity Of
the Hong Kong colony is the anomaly
Of the mems and women's occupations
according to our English ideas. The
women work just like the men; they
drag huge loads harnessed like horses,
carry heavy weights strung over their
shoulders as yokels carry milk cans
in the country.
They stagger up the Peak for about
100 yards, when they lay down their
burden. go back, pick a new lot up,
carry this up to the first dumping
place, then take the first load on a
few yards further and 81 on, all under
q blazing sun. All the bricklaying,
road mending, coaling, ETC., is done
equally by both sexes, but perhaps the
most curious sight, writes a Hongkong
correspondent, is to see a woman
straining at an oar or at the steerage
of a sampan.
If the boat be a very heavy one two
Of the women will work an oar to-
gether, one pulling one way and the
other pushing, while a little baby is
perched on the back of each in a sort
of cradle Or papoose arrangement. ,
On the other hand up on the Peak,
which is the European settlement, one
often e e a Chinese boy walking
along sedately pushing a perambula-
tor, while the. English nursemaid
walks empty handed by his side and
superintends operations. Of course all
the house work is done by "boys."
The next point is the very cosmopol-
itan nature of the place. This was
most forcibly borne in upon me the
other day when l was walking with an
American on side and an Austral-
ian on the other. Just in front of US

"INSIDE BALL" PUZZLE
Explanation Ct Term That Both
ers Many Enthusiasts.
In the Leno Run Team Which Plays
Game az It Should From Start Of
Season to End Will Finish
Better Than Its Rival.

Inside ball is a term which puz-
zles many enthusiasts. The express
sion Immediately brings to mind Sc
cret manipulations on the diamond
and is generally passed up as being
too deep. In reality inside ball is
nothing more or less than playing the
game. There is no mystery about it.
OF course, every major league and
minor league squad has its "signs," or
signals as they are called by the fans,
writes Malcolm Mclean in the Chi
cago Evening Post. But SO have foot
ball teams and basketball squads.
Take the average ball game. The
home team Is at bat, nobody Is down
and there's a runner on first, The
batter tries to lay down a sacrifice
bunt, and misses the ball. Jaw, hit
'er out" yells a bleacherite in disgust.
Then he turns to his neighbor and
growls. Gee, l can't stand for that
kind of a game. What's that guy try
ing to bunt for? Why don't he hit
'em to the fence?"
This instance is one Of the many
mysteries" of inside ball. It's play
ing the game to sacrifice that man
around to second, from which point
he can easily score on a single. If
the batter tries to hit safely right
from the Jump there's the immediate
danger Of a double play, and two men
out.
Take another case. There's a man
on first and a left-hander at bat. Such
a hitter generally slaps one to right
field or between first and second. So,
naturally, as soon as the ball is hit
the s%hortstop runs to cover second in
the hopes of negotiating a double play.
If the batter hits ri%ght-handed the sec.
ond baseman usually covers second.
Yet this is the so-called inside ball
which has so many fans wondering
what's it all about.
The Cubs in the past were called
masters Of inside ball. The reason
was they had played together so long
that every man knew the instant the
ball vas hit just what to do under the
circumstances. In other words, it was
second sense or einside BALI if YOU
prefer.
Yet this style of play doesn't al.
ways win-far to the contrary. Ere.
quently the Boston Red Sox have
thrown inside ball to the winds and
played the h%it-and-run game instead OF
sacrificing. They broke up the defense
of the rival teams by pulling stuff
when not expected. It's far more spec
t~acular if they get away with it. Fol
instance, with first and second occu
pied and none out. to have the batter
knock the ball over the fence at the
first pitch warns the cookies of the
heart more than a dinky little buni
and an out at first.
But you'll find that in the long rur
the team which plays the game as II
should from the start of the season tc
the end will finish better than ite
rival, If both squads are about equa.
in strength. Cap Arson a y the ole
Chicago Colts used as much inside
ball as the great teams of today, an6
proves his point. So if it wasn't mys
FERROUS thirty years ago it shouldn't
be so today.

BAY0NET THOUGHT OBSOLETE
Use Made by Bulaarians Wakes Up
Military Experts.

II Is curious to think that the bay,
onet. which has played so great a
part in the Bulgarian victories, might
not have been In existence If the mill
tary experts of the kingdom had had
their way.
In 1892, in the Bulgarian scheme OF
modern armament, the Mannlicher RI
fies were ordered without bayonets,
the authorities having come to the con-
clusion that the bayonet was obso-
iete in modern Warfare. The average
opinion Of the army. however, soon
made itself felt, and the first order
was countermanded, and the rife was
ordered with the bayonet, but the bay.
onet was not Of the ordinary sizes but
really sort Of knife In subsequent
orders the bayonet was not questioned
1t Is interesting TO speculate what
the Bulgarian fortunes might have
been without the bayonet.
