"HARD TINES" TALK.

After all, there is a good deal in
talk. Let a man talk dull times and
it is infectious; everybody talks dull
times. Instead of rustling around to
take care of what business there is,
they all sit down and nope over
dull times. If customer does hap
pen to drop into one of these dull
times" stores he actually gets frigh-
tened out of half as much as he eX-
poets to buy, because things look so
blue. He catches the spirit of the
store and resolves to hang on to all
his money with a death grip, even if
his business goes to pieces on ac-
count of running short of goods to
fill up the empty shelves. The bug
bear of hard times should be set
down upon. 1t is doing more to kill
business than anything else. Tell a
man he is sick, keep it up, and you
will eventually hound him to death.

Book DOnt's.

Good books are treasures, and
they should be handled with the
greatest of care by everyone Here
are few rules that should be OBJ
served.
Never drop a book upon the
floor.
Never turn leaves with the thumb.
Never lean or rest upon an open
book.
Never turn down the corners of
leaves.
Never touch a book with soiled or
damp hands.
Always place a large book upon a
table before opening it.
Never pull a book from the shelf
by the binding at the top, but by the
back.
Never close a book with a pencil,
tablet or anything else that is bulky
between the leaves.

Umpire Has New Eootaear.

Umpire Johnstone of the National
league has something new in the way
Of footgear that is apt to attract
lot of attention and be copied by all
the baseball umpires. He has a metal
covering that fits over bis shoes, so
that foul tips that fly down at his
feet do not break his toes. All UNI
pires are protected well by the mask
and the chest pad, and the greater
majority wear shin guards beneath
6aeir trousers.

ARGENTINA POLOISTS COMING
international Matches to Be Played at
Narragansett Pier.

Promise of real international polo at
Narragansett Pier, Il. l.. this year is
contained in the invitation extended
by the Point Judith Polo club to the
Argentine team, which has had vic
torious career in the tournaments in
England. 1t is anticipated that the
South American team will accept and
take part in the tourney, which in
cludes the open championships be-
tween July 90 and Aug. "a.
The Argentine team is made up of
two Irishmen and two Englishmen,
who all have business interests in the
Argentine. Their South American
ponies are branded and rough looking,
but rare gallopers and very handy.
Aided by the handicap orders, the Ar
gentine team won the Whitney cup
tournament at Hurlingham and Great
ed a sensation by its quickness and
hard hitting.

Fred for that lapse for a long time,
and many managers laughed when
MeriIie was under discussion. NC

Jake Daubert is another star who
had 10 fight his way TO the front.
Turned back by Cleveland as not of big
league caliber, Jake got q chance with
the Superbas In 1910. No one cOnsid-
cred that Daubert had a chance 70 beat
out Home Run" Tim Jordan, but Dau-
bert played such great ball that he
simply could not be kept out OF the
game. He Is. now in his third year
with Brooklyn and is getting better all
the time.

The Union league sprouted for a\few
months In 1908. After leaving college
Dick made his professional debut with
the Unions. He landed with the Reds

Eddie Konetchy is the oldest one Of
these four players in big league expert

San Francisco Wants Horse RACING

Nearly $4,000 residents of San Fran
cisco have signed a petition to have
horse racing resumed In California.
A united effort is being made by horse
owners, breeders. farmers and others
to knock out the present ant-betting
law and have as a substitute the pari
mutuel form of betting which has
proved SO popular In Kentuckyaand
also in the larger cities Of Europe,
where horse racing thrives.

0'DAY LETS UMPIRES ALONE.
Cincinnati Manager Sticks to Promise
Made When He Quit Indicating.

1t must be said Of Hank O'Day,
manager of the Cincinnati Reds, that
be has not yet broken his VOW, made
early in the spring, that he would not
bait umpires. Hank still shows that
spirit of brotherly love. But his argu-
ment Is a good one. He says arguing
with umpires gets a manager nothing.
He prefers TO remain back in the shad-
ows<of the bench and depend on a
square deal from the umpires.
So far he has had no reason to COM
plain, and it is certain that few of his
players have been under suspension
this season.

Well, Besides Being All a First Sack

Star baseball players of any kind are
exceedingly rare, but big league mana
gers assert that crack first baSemen
are the scarcest commodities in the
land. Any one doubling this statement
may have ii confirmed by asking either
Barney Dreyfuss or Fred Clarke of
Pittsburgh. After trading Kitty Brans-
field to the Phillies in 1905 the Pirates
were engaged in continuous search
for n first sacker until the spring of
this year, when Clarke hit on the bril-
liant idea of converting Dots" Miller
into a first baseman. The Kearny
IN. j. boy has played the best first
base the Pittsburgh bugs have seen in
eight years, but Dots has not yet
shown class enough to displace any
one Of the big four" OF the National
league-Fred Merkle, Jake Daubert,
Dick Hoblitzel and Eddie Konetchy.

clubbers, as all first basemen should
be, and hammer the old ball all over
the lot However, unlike some of the
slugging first basemen of old, all these
four men are among the leading speed
merchants in the National league
1t is hard to decide which one is the
star Of the quartet. Manhattan fans
swear by Fred Merkle, and Brooklyn
fans can see only Jake Daubert, while
Cincinnati and st. Louis fans believe

periors.
Perhaps no ball player, unless it is

make good than Fred Merkle, and
Fred deserves all the good things that
have come to him in the last two
years. Everybody knows the unfor-
tunate "bone' Fred committed in 1908
