Hedges Lost Out By
Not Taking Players

"One little telegram beat me out of
$250.000,'' continued Colonel Hedges, the
st. Louis magnate. at was back in
ljo2. Christy Mathewson and Frank
Bowerman had accepted terms with the
st. Louis club and were to join the
Browns In 1903. In August, 1902, / re-
ceived a wire from Matty, In which he
stated that he could not get along with
Manager McGraw, of the Giants, and
would join the Browns at once, adding
that Bowerman would come with him.
II wired back: You boys had better
finish the season with New York and
join the Browns in 1903'
AT the end of the 1902 season the
American and National League mag
rates arranged peace. 1t was agreed
that all players should remain the
property Of the clubs they were with
at the end OF the 1902 campaign, irre-
spective of previous connections. That
little telegram beat me out of Mathew
son and Bowerman, one of the great
est batteries in baseball. No telling
how many pennants Big Six would
have v on for the st. Louis Browns II I
had only allowed him to jump New
York in August. 1902. and line up with
the Browns"

McAleer's Sharp Tongue
Cost Browns Pennant

"McAleer's sharp tongue cost the
Browns the pennant in 1902" said Rob-
ert Lee, OF the st. Louis Browns.
Jimmy was managing the Browns, and
Davy Jones was covering right field for
muffed a fly ball in the ninth inning
with two men on the sacks. 1t cost the
Browns the game. That night Manager
McAleer bawled Jones.
Next day, in Chicago, when the st.
Louis club started for the White Sox
ball yard Jones was missing.
He never showed up and Billy Ma
loney went to right field and lost the
game for st. Louis. That night We
learned that Davy had jumped the
Browns and lined up with the Chicago
Cubs. He played right field for the
Cubs that afternoon. We never plugged
that hole in right field until Charlie

night Is considered responsible for the
defeat which that quint received from
the Charlottesville athletes. Virginia
started the game at rapid-fire pace, and
their speed was SO great that it almost
took the local boys off their feet. Both
teams suffered greatly from penalties
affixed for fouling, and at times the
game became so rough that interven-
ton was almost necessary. Lynch took
the lead for the losers in tossing the
baskets. and Captain Mcdonald was
undoubtedly the fastest in passing the
ball. The work of Kearns. the lead q
of the Charlottesville five, was noASe-

EnnLlsh School Rov camna.

We are familiar with the open-air
school, but at Harrow, in England, the
County Council is of opinion that this
system is capable of extension, so the
headmaster has arranged for every
boy in the county school to encamp
for a week in turn in the playing
fields. The boys will sleep in tents,
and attend themselves to all their
wants, even doing their own cooking
one day during the week. They VIII
rise at $50 a. m. and turn in at $50
p. m, and there will be five hours
teaching daily. There can be little
doubt that such a system carries with
it many advantages. 1t teaches boys
to be self-reliant, tidy, and useful, and
will entail no extra cost on the rates,
other than that of the tents, for the
boys provide their own food.

HOW TO STORE SWEET PoTA.
TOES.
BY r. n. Mediation, Professor Of Hor-
ticulture.

Question-When would you gather
and how would you store sweet pota-
toes?
Sweet potatoes should be dug about
the time of the first light frost when
the ground is dry. They should re-
main on the ground day or two in
the sunlight If the sun is too bright
and hot, they may be burned if left
out too long. After being taken to
the shed those that are broken, bruis-
ed or showing the slightest abrasion
should be separated from the sound
and perfect ones, for immediate mar
keting. The sound ones can then be
stored in mounds of about 20 bushels
each. Lay planks for base of each
mound, on these putting course of
straw. Construct a chimney of 10 to
12-inch boards and heap the pota-
toes around this and cover over with
course OF straw Immediately, but
IL under shelter, after a day or two.
Then put on an inch or two OF earth
and add deep enough to keep out the
frost.

If you wish a supply of congress
sional garden seed from Senator
Hoke Smith, you must write and
tell him so.
If the senator does not get word
from you that you really desire the
seed, and expect to use them toyoUr
profit and benefit, he will not bother
either himself or you about the
matter.
The senator is OF the opinion shat
if garden seed are to be furnished
free to the people by the national
department of agriculture, they
ought to be supplied to people who
appreciate them and put them to
some good purpose. The old way
of sending Tom. Dick and Harry
seed, regardless of whether Thomas
Richard or Henry cared anything
about the matter, does not appeal
to Hoke Smith. The government
spends hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually on this free seed
distribution, and lot Of is-some
people think the great bulk Of it,
goes utterly to waste.
A great many people viii incline
to think that Senator Smith has the
right idea about the method where
by those free seed are to be sent out.
If a man isn't willing to write a let
ter, or even a postal, to the senator
to let him know the seed are desired,
surely the senator is abundantly
justified in believing that he doesn't
care much about the seed anyway,
one way or the other.
