players make errors Many arbiters have told me that when they are working they seldom know what inning ii is or how many are out. and sometimes, in their efforts to concentrate their minds on their decisions, they say they forget what clubs are playing and which is the home team.
 The future of the game depends on the umpire. for his honesty can not be questioned If there is a breath of suspicion against a man. he is immediately let go. because constant repetition of such a charge would result in baseball going the way of horse racing and some other sports. No scandal can creep in where the umpire is concerned. for the very popularity of baseball de bends on it's honesty.
 "The only good umpire is a dead umpire McGraw has declared many times when he has been disgruntled over some decision
 T think they are all dead ones in this league" replied Devore one day, Considering the decisions that they are handing me down there at second base. Why, I had that bag by three feet and he called me out. ."
 Many baseball fans look upon an umpire as sort of necessary evil to the luxury of baseball. like the smell that follows an automobile.
 Kill him, He hasn't got any friends" is an expression shouted from the stands time and again dur ing a game.
 But I know differently. I have seen umpires with friends It's true that most ball players regard um- pires as their natural enemies. as boy does a school teacher But "Bill' Klem has friends because l have seen him with them. and be- sides he has constant companion. which is a calabash pipe. And Billy" Evans. of the American League, has lots of friends. And most of the umpires have some one who will speak 10 them when they are off the field
 These men in blue travel by them selves, live at obscure hotels apart from the ones at which the ball teams stop. and slip into the ball parks unobtrusiyely just before game time. The never make friends with ball players off the field for fear that there might be a scandal Sel- dom do they take the same train with club unless it can not be avoided Hank" O'Day. the veteran of the National League staff. and Brennan, took the same train out of Chicago with the Giants last fall because We stopped in Pittsburg for one game, and they had 10 be there to umpire It was the only available means of transportation But they stayed by themselves in another Pullman until some one told them Charley" Faust. the off cial jinx killer of the Giants. was doing his stunt. Then they both came back to the Giants car and for the first time in my life l saw Hank" O'Day laugh His face acted as if it wasn't accustomed to the exercise and broke all in funny new wrinkles like when you put on a new pair of gloves for the first time.

 Rock Cakes.
 IIalt pound of flour. thr ounces 'f brown sugar, ,hree ounces of cufraHs, a ljtfIe grated ginger. a little nameg, d pinch of salt. one and a half ounces of drippings or lard, one and a half ounces of butter. one and a half .aspoonfuls of bak- ing powder one egg and little milk. Pass the flour through sieve. rub into ii the butter and lard. and add all the dry ingredients. Beat up the egg with a little milk and mix in thoroughly. Arrange the dough in little heaps CPD on a greased baking sheet and put on he top of each a small piece of candied pei Bake in a rather hot oven for fifteen minutes.
 Cleaning Dainty Summer Dresses.
 Dainty thin dresses do not look as pretty after being washed, but may be satisfactorily cleaned at home A gallon of gasoline will clean a dress and many small things. Take two granite pans, one larger than the other. The larger half fill with hot water, the smaller wi,h half a gallon of gasoline for washing the garments. Place the soiled pieces in gasoline and set the pan over the hot water. There is nc danger when used out of doors Use ivory soap on the dirty places, as sleeves, neck, etc, as you would in washing, and wash until absolutely clean. Then rinse in clean gasoline and hang out to dry and until the odor has eyaporated. Press carefully, using a damp clcth. Do all the cleaning out of doors.
 A Dishwashinq Suggestion.
 To relieve that shriveled-up, un- comfortable feeling of the hands after having them in hot dish-water, apply equal parts of glycerin and int bn pared on the kitchen table all the time and rub a little on the hands after every dish washing. It softens and keeps the hands from chapping and cracking open.
 To Pick a Fowl Easily.
 If you use tweezers in picking the pin feathers from a fowl you will find it laborsaving device.
 To Clean the Fryins-Pan.
 hard to wash the pan without get ting the dishcloth black. Just put a little water in it and set it on the stove for a few minutes. Then turn the water out and scrape the bottom with one of the disks that come on milk bottles and it may then be washed without getting any black on cloth or hands.
 To ke Butter Cool Without Ice.
 Have two pans, one smaller than the other Into the smaller pan put your butter and place it in the larger pan, which must contain enough water to reach the top of smaller one, and into the water add two tablespoonfuls of salt, Thor oughly soak a flower pot and cover butter with this. Occasionally re- soak the pot. The butter will be as firm as in winter without ice.

LISTEN TO HANK O'DAY,

Oh. listen to the spiel being de- livered by one H. ODay of Cincin- nati: You must have umpires at ball games, Players come and go, most of them depart faster than they arrive. You can take a player out of the game and it continues just as before, but the umpire always has to be on the job; hence my boys will respect the umpires at all times"

Somebody asked Ty Cobb the other day what pitcher kept him closest to the first sack. He promptly re- piled: Warhop of the New York Americans" He also admitted that krapp of the Maps and Ed Walsh of the Sox were other beavers upon whom it was difficult to take much of a lead.

would not succumb without consider
able battle toward the finish.
The Cubs pecked away at Earle
Moore's crossfire and other stuff until
they had compiled FIVE runs by dint of
constant industry. Earl hung I'M
til terrific blow from Archers bat
nearly drove the ball out of the lot to
the northward. a feat never yet per-
formed. and scored two runs after two
were out.
Moore gave way to pinch hitter to
no purpose in the seventh. otherwise
1t might have been a different story
for the Cubs Immediately scored two
runs off Ritter. the youngster who re-
placed Moore, in the eighth. Those
two runs didn't seem to matter much
when they happened. but they made a
lot OF difference before the eighth In
ming was over.
