THE CHILDREN's CORNER.

A School Desk for Ones Doll.
Dear Kiddie Kids: am going to show
you how to make a school desk for a doll
that will look like a real school desk
when completed.
1t is made from pasteboard boxes or
from cardboard. For the top, you should
have a box that is quite deep. Lay this
box on one of its sides, with the open
top toward you. Mark a slanting line on
either end and a straight line on the
upper side, connecting the upper ends of
the slanting lines.
Then cut where you made the three
lines. Now you will want to cut a piece
Of cardboard for the cover of the desk
and in order to get this exact and of good
proportion you will need to make careful
measurements.
The cover should be fastened to the top
Of the desk with two stout pieces of
tape.
II you want Compartments in the desk
they can be made by putting in a long
shelf and then fastening two upright
strips of pasteboard between the shelf
and the top, thus making three sections.
The legs can be cut from cardboard or
made from a box cover or bottom. II
made from cardboard. they should have
sections at the top that can be bent un-
der and stuck to the bottom of the desk.
If made from a part of a box with full
strip going across underneath they will
be firmer and the desk win stand better.

SHAFER RESENTS
SLURS AT FRIEND
Remarks Concerning Snodgrass
After Series Reason He
Quits Giants.

Los Angeles, Cal. January ST.
Arthur Shafer, the brilliant inheldei
of the Giants, has returned unsigned
two different contracts which the
New York Club has sent to him.
Shafer has made no demands for
salary. but has announced that he
will not play ball with the New York
Giants again.
A friend of Skaters stated here to-
day that the real reason that the
infelder had resolved not to play
baseball any more was the result OF
after the last game of the world {
series between the Giants and Red
Sox last fall. 1t is asserted that after
the memorable game in which Fred
Snodgrass mufed fly ball from the
bat of Hack Engle which lost the
game and gave Boston the world 6
championship. the Giant players had
after the game.
II Is said that some of the New York
players crowded around Snodgrass after
the game. and criticized him harshly
for making the costly error. In the heat
of the criticizing of SnOdgrass, many
words were passed between the players
which caused much i'll feeling Shafer.
who was d classmate of SnOdgrass in d
college here. came TO mis- defense. and
in the face of all the talk that was
hurled at SnOdgrass. said that any ball
player was likely 70 make an error IN
such situation. Shafer. II is stated.
resented the criticism Of some OF the
players and became more prominent
in the argument than Snodgrass him
self.
Shafer, so the story goes. was so pro-
voked at the antagOnism against Snod-
grass that ne declared right then and
there that he would never play ball with
the Giants again. Shafer was sincere
IN his assertion and believed that the
verbal attack on his friend SnOdgrass
was unfair and unjust He said at
that time that he was through with pro
fessional baseball. and his trends here
stated to-day that this was the real
reason that he has returned two Giant
contracts unsigned.
Shafer has always played baseball
for the love Of the game and against the
wishes OF his family. He has told friends
here that he VIII not leave the coast
this year until his many business affairs
are settled. and then he expects TO take
a trip TO Europe
