When Eugene Walter writes play
the tools necessary to the process are
one large room. one outfit of furniture
and one exceptionally rapid stenogra-
pher. Mr.. Walter and the stenographer
enter the room. The door is locked. and
work is begun by placing the furniture
as II is to be placed on the stage-in
other words. by setting the scene. Then
the young dramatist begins to act. He
is all the characters in his play. He
rushes about the apartments. quarrel

and then racing to the opposite end Of
the apartment to be another All the

pher is taking them down at top speed.

PETE BRownIxe's BATS.
Thsy sHn Served the Old slusssr After
He Quit Baseball.

ne TUT ua31naIls
One Of the Oldest and most eccentric
characters baseball has ever produced
was old Pete Browning. the famous
blugger. who played with Louisville
around the eighties and later Joined
the Cleveland club In 1890 during the
Brotherhood war.
Pete was a little OF in bis roof gar
den and had only one idea In his head
day or night. Anything that concern
ed his precious batting average was
meat and drink to him. II made no
difference how many dy balls be drop
ped or let get by him as long as be
landed two or three safe ones during
q game.
Bats were a mania with Browning.
and whenever he could pick up club
which suited him it was added to his
enormous collection. SO many were
gathered at various points on some Of
his trips that be sometimes was forced
to pay excess baggage on the prizes.
According to Van Haltren, II was
Browning who introduced the habit Of
rubbing down q bat with tobacco juice.
which custom is followed to this day
by many Of the players. The idea Is
10 roughen the surface Of the stick
and prevent so many fouls slipping or
one side or the other.
Browning, who was a great user OF
the weed. used to polish down his
sticks In this way without any appar-
emit reason until he commenced to be-
lieve that 1t made a difference with his
hitting, and after that no wagon tongue
Of bis ever escaped coating Of tas OBJ
noxious fluid.
Other PLAYERS took it up in the hope
Of emulating Browning, and now 1t is
a common custom throughout the coun-
try.
When Pete retired from the game
all the bats, relics Of former days,
were still in his possession. In order
to keep them always in his sight Pete
had them turned down to a uniform
size and used them as posts for the
baluster in bis house.
To the day Of his death they remain
ed the most valued Of his possessions.

Nowhere have historical events caus-

end Of the sixteenth century. when
Henry Ill, the last Of the house Of
valois. came to the throne. by the
white standard powdered fieur-de-lis.
That in turn gave place to the famous
tricolor which was introduced at the
time Of the revolution, but the origin
OF that dag and its colors is a disputed
question. Some maintain that the In
tention was to combine In the Tag the
blue OF the chare de st. Martin. the
red OF the ori6amme and the white flag
Of the Bourbons By others the colors
are said to be those of the city Of Paris.
