~O Judge from the baseball col
umns of the newspapers in
the big league cities, this
,aar is heavy one for 'hold-outs."
within the past few days, however,
,..,a1 stars of the diamond have
mod contracts (notably Wood,
vaeaI,er and Plank. which would
.aen, TO indicate that one by one
.ho boId-outs are coming into line.
The number of players still I'M
signed is still very large.
War bv year the clubs f1nd 1t
.o~o difficult to agree on terms
Nth their players. The salaries of
-,.,.ors were never so high as they
po at the present time, and the de-
Ids If some of the stars seem
heyond all reason.
urpE have been cases recently
of several players who made
Kin demands upon the clubs for
.,ora salary than their comrades
lid for. who have not been
ooaxad to do go. During the major
,ooo,,e meetings last week the sec
ratarv of one club told this story:
"One Of our outfielders was given
misc of salary amounting to sew
vol hundred dollars. He promptly
cont hack his contract unsigned
ord with a letter saying that he
r,,st have more money. We sent
hin, hack the contract ana also
letter saving that the amount orig
inallv named therein was our limit.
"a couple of days later the out
folder sert us a very interesting
letter The letter stated thai the
r,aver would not sign unless he re-
ce,yed 81 500 more than our figure.
In the very next paragr2rh The out
aeIder said that he hao decided
,bs+ q 200 additional was his low
est figure,
There. YOU see. he had shaved
$500 off the amount in the same
letter. No reply was sent, and
few DAYS later the player wrote
again asking what our decision
Y was. He did not get an answer.
Along came another letter from the
outfielder, bat our policy OF silence
in the matter was unchanged. One
morning / opened the mail and
there was the signed contract. The
Il PLAYER had been bluffing all along"
81 IT HE Pittsburg club is one that
has adopted the stand-pat idea
a with its hold-outs. When Presi-
II dent Dreyfuss returned from the
II New York meeting he found let
Il ter from Manager Clarke which
said:
81 see by the papers that we have
some real hold-outs in the Pitts
burg club. Well, let them hold out;
81 put it up to them to make the first
q move; We'll play ball whether they
report or not. 1t is my opinion that
8 they will be on hand when they are
II needed"
III T is not surprising that there
should be a difference of opin-
& lon among ball players and wise
baseball managers as to whether
III left handler can play second base.

no trouble in playing that sack.

sald Connie Mack. "The reason he

will be able to play second base is
that he is the quickest man with
his hands l have seen on the ball
field in my time. He may be trifie
weak at that position, but then,
again, he will make some plays
down there that right handler can
not make.
Il think that he would be much
better than some of the right
handed second basemen we have in
the game right now. | saw him
play that bag in Philadelphia, and
my players said that they thought
he could play anything on the ball
lot There have not been many
men who have made a success of
playing the infield who have been
t-handers. But then, again, there
have been exceptions. l think
Chase is one of them. He will
shift with the players, and l think
he can touch base runners.
Bill Greenwood, who played sec
ond base for the Merits way back
in 1884, was one of the best second
sackers in the business. He was a
great ball player. He was a left
handler, but he could play his posi-
ton as well as any man l ever saw.
'Hick Carpenter was a left handed
third sacker with the Cincinnati
Reds in 1882. Kid Mohler also
made a success Of playing second
base. and he is a left handler. Will
lie Keller broke in as a third base
man, but did not stick to that posi-
ton"
w E now have two newspaper
champions, Luther McCarty
and Johnny Coulon. Hurrah for
the sport writers. If fighters"
won't fight, we are going to have
our champions anyhow The well
terweight and middleweight classes
having no real champions at the
head of the list, let's get together
fellows, appoint g. couple of mo-
bodys and back them heavily. We
probably can not make pon-my-
soul-to goodness fighters out of
them, but we can keep the poor
chaps from starving to death or
riding on brake beams all their
lives, also enrich the stage with
two more bad actors. No wonder
the price of eggs keeps up.
OVER in England our boosted
American prestige in the ring
must look like hunk of bad cheese
and smell worse. Our heavyweight
champion now under indictment as
SLAYER, our newspaper heavy
weight champion making a noise
like a dray load of old cans picked
off a dump; no middleweight cham
pion, but we have Papke posing as
the real article in France; no well
terweight champion, feather
weight champion that is PANIED for
his poor work every time he enters
a ring, and last, but not least, a
newspaper bantam champion whose
hardest contest must have been
learning the keys of a typewriting
machine. The British ring is estab-
lished, its heavyweight champion
has Travelled 5000 miles to meet
the man who but a few short
weeks ago announced that he
would fight all Corners, only to find
himself buncoed. No wonder that
many of the fight clubs in the
country are losing money with such
a bunch Of actor champions as we
have in our ring.

TRY THIS FOR SUNDAY TEA
Simple and Appetizing Meal That
Evolves Minimum of Work on
the Sabbath Day.

This is what Marjory created for
Sunday night tea, it being her duty,
as mothers oldest little girl, to pre-
pare the Sunday suppers: She took
six eggs and boiled them half an hour;
peeled off the shells and chopped the
whites fine, and added them to two
cups of cream sauce, with half cup
of finely minced boiled ham and pep
per to taste. On hot platter she ar
ranged six slices of bread, the crust
removed before toasting; completely
covered the toast with the sauce mix
ture and arranged two hoops of gold
around the top of the yolks pressed
through a sieve. In the center she
put a few tablespoonfuls of green
peas and little border of green peas
around the edge of the platter She
explained that the ham was just the
crumbly scraps she found in the dish
in the pantry, and the peas might have
been used for luncheon dish or din
ner salad the next day, but no one
mentioned that, as the dish was so
pretty and good, and credit to the
inventive genius of a twelve-year-old
girl.

KEEPING FLOOR IN CONDITION
by the Use of Polish Easily Put
Together at Home.

Polishing floors is hard work, and
calls for no end of "elbow grease"
For hardwood, or stained-wood floor,
take eight ounces of yellow beeswax.
one quart of Venetian turpentine; cut
the wax into small pieces and pour
the turpentine over it, and let it stand
in a vessel of warm water until dis
solved, which it will readily do; then
bottle. Apply very little at time
with flannel cloth, rubbing until
there is none left on the surface, then
proceed until the whole floor is fin
1shed. 1t keeps the floor in excellent
order and the polish is required ordi-
narily about once in six months.
Soapsuds should never be used on
hardwood floor that is oiled or waxed.
All that is needed is to wipe with a
cloth dampened in little warm water
say a wash basin full to which about
two tablespoonfuls of coal oil has been
added. One tablespoonful to the bas-
in will be enough for anything unless
very dirty. The oil should be well
stirred into the water, the cloth just
dampened, wrung out as dry as posi-
bic before use, and the floor polished
afterward with a clean flannel cloth.
This is good for mating also.

SHIP KILLS SEA MONSTER
Captain Reports Striking What He
Thinks Was Species of Whale,
Which Hung on Stem of Vessel.

New York.-Recently persons on a
liner were sure they had seen sea
serpen- fifty feet long forging its way
through the ocean at incredible speed
Capt. j. Tut of another liner, gave
this account of collision with
monster of the deep:
"At 1888 o'clock in the morning"
said the captain, IAN hour known as
the graveyard watch by marines,
shock was felt at the fore part of the
ship. The liner had left Santa Marta
on the day before, and was steaming
at sixteen knots an hour along the
Colombian coast toward Port Limon.
After the shock the ships speed
seemed to diminish, although the en-
gines were working well and the sea
was smooth. 1t was bright moonlight,
l went to the bow to see what was
the matter, and found that we had
struck a sea monster, which | esti-
mated to be some forty-two feet long
and three tons in weight. The col
lision killed the monster, and 1t hung
on the stem so that we had to go
astern to get clear OF the body. This

with patches like textile prints the
size of a hand on the sides. 1t was
a species of whale now almost ex-
tinct, he thought. The shock aroused
the passengers, who came on deck to
look at the dead monster. One of the
officers said that many strange ser
penis and large fish had been seen
in the waters off the Colombian coast
in the last three years of species
that had not been seen there since
the days of the buccaneers on the
Spanish Main. They thought that the
blasting in the Panama canal had
disturbed them in their submarine
caverns and driven them to the sur
face of the sea-

FOR SANITARY CELLAR
LIGHT AND VENTILATION ARE
THE THINGS MOST IN NEED.
No Apartment in the House Is of So
Much Importance as That in
Which Food for the Family
Is Stored.

The ideal cellar should be as light
and dry and clean as any room in the
house. 1t should have windows on OPP
posite sides, easily accessible and
easily opened. Air at night in sum-
mer, as to admit air warmer than the
inside air causes moisture to form and
trickle down the side walls. Remem-
Der heated house acts like a Chin
ney, the movement Of the air being
from the bottom upward. If any one
doubts this, let him unstopper bot
tie of ether or boil a kettle of onions
in the cellar, then go to the top OF
even six-storied dwelling, and | think
his sense of smell would soon convince
him that there is an upward draught
of no mean abilities.
Indeed, a German inventor has
proved that one-half the cellar air is
found in the first story, one-third in
the second, one-ffth in the third, and
SO on, which impells us to think of
the cellar as a reservoir of air for the
entire house. A good coat of lime
whitewash should be applied every
spring. No decaying vegetables or
rubbish of any kind should be stored
there. The cellar bottom and sides
should be preferably of concrete.
Where coal is stored, it should be light
and dry, as the decomposition of the
sulphides in the coal goes on much
more rapidly in a damp atmosphere.
Sulphides cause silver to tarnish.
The cold-air box of furnace should be
so located that the outer air admitted
be as pure as possible, and it should
be so constructed that through no
cracks or crevices could the cellar air

Mutton Pot,

This is good cooked in casserole.
Ii you haven't a French casserole, an
ordinary bean pot will produce the
same flavor, but this dish is not so
presentable on the table. Take two
pounds of neck of lamb or mutton, not
too fat, cut in two inch pieces and
put into the pot with half a cup of
sliced onion Drowned in some mutton
fat Add two cups OF boiling wa alter
and cover. Simmer or cook in moder-
ate hot oven for two hours. Parboil
the potatoes, a pint, cut in cubes, but
do not add to the meat until half an
hour before serving. Add two table
spoonfuls of washed rice when the
meat has cooked half an hour, then a
cup of strained tomatoes and season
ing of salt, pepper and parsley. The
slower this cooks after the first half
hour the better.
