hurry the play to throw out the run
ner. 1t is used chiefly to advance run
ners who already are on bases
Blunt and run-The term used to
designate play much used in the
more finished teams. The batters and
base runners exchange signals as the
pitcher starts to deliver the ball to the
batter, the runner or runners start
for the next base at full speed. The
batter bunts as they go, and If he push
es the ball fair the play obviates the
chance to force the other runners.
The play is extremely dangerous to
bad hunters, as double play Is al
most certain II they bunt fly into
the air.
Coacher-A player or manager who,
from the coacher's boxes back of
first and third bases, endeavors to
guide and advise batters and base
runners, warning them Of the move
ments of the enemy and flashing the
managers signals to players, as or.
ders for certain plays. In the early
days of the game the duties of coach
ers were to play clown, make noise
and strive to excite or anger oppos-
ing players. The coacher in the mod
ern game usually is quiet, studying the
movements Of the opposing pitcher
and catcher and assisting base run
ners.

Mrs. Brown is the mother Of large

rather small. A few days ago a new
baby appeared upon the scene. Little
Margaret, aged S. was allowed to SEQ

the batter in the matter OF balls and
strikes, waste ball, either trying to
tempt the batter into striking wildly.
or striving to allow the catcher to
make play to catch base runner.
Water Bucket (Spiking)-Drawing

pitched. Many batters draw back the
foot an entire step, out of tlmldity or
through nervous habit, and those who
step far back are said to spike the
water bucket.

QUEEN s FASHION
EDICT IS DEFIED

LONDON, June 1S-The same RI
valry Of costume which marked the
opening day Of the fashionable Ascot
race meeting was apparent to-day on
even q grander scale. In spite of the
word which had gone forth from
Queen Mary that she would look with
disapproval upon freakish costumes
in the royal pavilion, many Of the
smart set inner court circles defed
the edict
Many women had their hair pow
dered white and wore big patches of
courtplaster, after the fashion of the
days of Charles II. The Partisan cos
tunes included skirts slashed unusu-
ally high and brilliantly decorated
hosiery. Another new style is the
crazy quilt" frock. which consists
Of az many colors as JOseph's coat.
The Cubist sunshade also made its
appearance. 1t is a decided shock to
the eye. Ostrich plumes are coming
into their own again, according to
the fashionable, although it is doubt
ful If they will ever supplant flowers
as hat trimmings in Queen Mary's
estimation.
Following the fashion set at Chan
tilly, where women appeared with ca
naries in gold cages. women took pets
of all kinds to the race meeting. One
dowager carried d parrot upon her
arm. To prevent its flight it was
fastened to her waist with a gold
chain. Angora cats and other pets
also were seen.

About a month before the separa-

Convention in Washington,
but Fears Nothing,

Chief of Police James L. Beavers
was photographed last week in
Washington while attending the an
nual convention Of the International
Association of Police Chiefs.

Wednesday. He declared that he
didn't mind it a bit-instead, he said
he enjoyed it. Although the dicto-
graph notes have not been tran
scribed and sworn to. the Chief says
too, the notes won't be padded. for
the ethereal waves that pounded
against the delicate little instrument
carried nothing stronger than a big
boost for Atlanta
It all came about when Chief Beav-
ers made a personal test of the dicto-
graph, which was on exhibition in the
police convention hall.
The Chief tested the instrument
thoroughly-he was photographed
himself, after which he caught"
someone else. Naturally, the Chief
was much interested in the machine,
and he has nothing but words of
praise for it. He said it operated per-
fectly, and added that 1T is certain
ly genuine"
As to whether he will install a die
tograph in the police station. the
Chief said such an instrument would
be beneficial in certain cases. but
made no definite statement. The po-
lice chiefs association Endorsed the
photograph.

Treatment for Damp Walls.

A painter being called upon to treat a
damp wall gave 1t four coats: first size.
then coat of fiat paint. then a coat of
shellac varnish and finally coat Of fiat
color, yet with all this the moisture still
continued to come through. He wrote
about his trouble to the Painters Maya
zine, and received the following sug-
gestions with regard to the necessary
treatment:
If the dampness comes through the
wall from the outside the cure must be
applied on the exterior of the wall. In
that case the wall should receive two
coats Of a good oil paint after spell
of dry weather If the dampness, how
ever, does not come from the outside.
you can make a damp-proofing liquid by
placing in a suitable vessel ten pounds OF
air slaked lime, two pounds glucose
grape sugar., one-half pound powdered
alum, one-half gallon boiled linseed oil
and one pint of oil of eucalyptus. adding
two gallons hot water gradually, while
stirring until all is dissolved.
If this liquid on cooling is too stout to
work freely under the brush, add more
warm water. You can mix with this
liquid any Ime-proof pigment, such as
zinc or lithopone. venetian red, ocher
lumber or lime blue, using the mixture
in place Of paint. Never use shellac var
nish on damp walls. but you might try
in place Of the liquid referred to plaster
Of paris wet up with weak glue size and
alum solution.
