Few Southpaws In Minors.

After several weeks spent in OBJ
serving the work of young players in
the minor leagues throughout the
country Arthur Irwin, scout for the
New York Americans. has come to the
conclusion that the left handed pitcher
Is dying out.
81 have combed the bushes this year
as never before" said Irwin, land
never did l see such a scarcity of
southpaws. l cannot account for It,
except on the theory that left handed
persons are getting rare in all walks
of life.
''In my travels this season l saw
few left handed pitchers, fewer than
/ ever saw in all my years in base
ball. I'll venture the prediction that
next season there will be fewer new
southpaws in the big leagues than in
any season in twenty-five years"

The Queens Cherries.

Sir Francis Carew once undertook to
entertain Queen Elizabeth at his seat
at Beddington, and he had promised
the queen that she should have cher
ries freshly picked from his orchards.
Unfortunately the queen announced
her intention of paying her visit nearly
a month after the ordinary season for
ripe cherries. However, Sir Francis
was equal to the occasion. He care
fully covered one of his cherry trees
with large canvas cover as soon as
the fruit began to form. Thus the sun
was kept off and the crop ripened very
slowly indeed, especially as the cover
was kept damp. A few days before
the queen was due to arrive the cover
was removed, and the brilliant sum
mer sunshine speedily brought the
fruit to perfection, so that Queen
Elizabeth was delighted to receive at
the hands of page dish Of the fin
est cherries, long past the proper sea-
son for such delicacies.
