ed. This is a great pet of mine,
as it should be, because it was
this trick that got me better known
all over America than anything
else 1 ever did.
To begin with, let me say that
this trick of the wing from a squat
ted position is not only a mighty
difficult thing to accomplish, but
it is, as well, a hard thing to de-
scribe in such a way as to bring
about a full and reasonable under
standing of it. That II is a great
trick there is little doubt, because

Catcher Must Have Perfect
Balance for Squat Throw.
When a catcher Is squatted down,
my favorite position in taking
pitch. he must balance himself
carefully on the forward part of
the feet. His balance must be
perfect because the ball comes to
him with great force usually and
he must retain equilibrium else the
crash of ball against the mitt Is
liable to ruin just what he wants
to do-be i'm position TO let the ball
go without arising to full standing
position.
First of all let me explain that

ICE COMPANY MERGER
IS ANNOUNCED TODAY
Parlett and Parlett Buy Plant Of
Annapolis Concern.
DEAL CLOSED YESTERDAY.
Negotiations Had Been on Some Time
Legitimate Raise in Prices 10
FnllnM.

Official announcement was made to-
day Of the absorption Of the Annapolis
Ice Manufacturing Company by the
Parlett & Parlett Company
The deal was formally closed yes
terday and the Parlt tt q parlett Com
pany took charge of the Annapolis
Company's property this morning
Mr.. {. Il. Farlett. head OF the Parlett
& Parlett firm. today admitted the
mer ger Of the companies, but the con
sideration Of the transaction is not
stated
1t was pretty generally known that
the Farlett & Parlett Company, which
built an ice plant as an adjunct 70
its coal. wood and lumber business
three years ago. had tor some tins
been negotiating for the purchase Of
the Annapolis Ice Manufacturing
Company In fact. il was reportei
several weeks age that the deal had
been formally closed. This, however,
proved untrue. as all negotiati ms
were off until about week ago, when
the question was re-opened by repre-
sentatives of both companies.
In the last week there have been
several conferences between Mr. c.
Il. Parlett and MIR George e. Schlei-
gelnich, a Philade lphia lawyer, who
is secretary-treasurer OF the Annapo-
lis Company, and who, it is under
stood, holds the controlling interest
in that concern, with the result that
the deal was finally close d yesterday.
Speaking of the deal today, Mr.
Parlett stated, that as many citi8ens
of Annapolis we'll know, the situa-
ton in the local ice business has been
for the last three years, war Of on
company to exterminate the other
from the field. IL is a bit early, Mr
Parlett said. to speak of future
plans. but he admitted that there
would be an increase in the price Of
ice, not however, above a legitimate
business figure, but simply as pre-
walls in any field Of open competition.
According to the present plans.
the purchasing company will continue
the operation Of both ice plants, in
order to meet every demand of the
city and surroundings, and it is un-
derstood that the employees OF the
absorbed company will be taken care
of as far as possible.

not so much is expected of the play

Will the Court put an end to war;
Certainly not imm sdiately, for there
have been at least three wars since
its inception. But certainly by point
ing to an easy. inexpensive and salts
factory solution If dispute, the Court
tends TO make wars less frequent.
Each case decided il so much more
evidence against war and in favor OF
arbitration.
But after all, isn't the elimina-
tion Of war a Question Of the growth
Of ideals, Of the development of 8

ideals are not yet sufficiently high to
cause US to prefer that to which we
are unquestionably entitled t) what
we might possibly get by shrewd
bargaining, TO prefer the highest

Ing for immediate advantage, to
forego tbs pitiful money considera
tiou that would come from the pro-
posed Panama Canal toll rebates.
That a majority Of Congfess will ap-
prove plain violation OF the spirit
Of a treaty. will prefer not to arbi-
trate for fear that we will not win,
is the surest Indication that the ma
jority Of as are not ready for peace.
