Inc young man from Cne racine
coast is grabbing all kinds of ground
ers, and is throwing while twisted
into knots. He chases back Of the
pitchers box, over towards third, or
hikes across second base for ground
ers. 1t is all the same to Buck, and
his throw are usually accurate and
strong. He made one bad heaVe yes
terday, but he is a human being. One
feature of his playing shows his earn
estness, and willingness to work hard
to correct a fault. Last season Buck
was bad on balls hit directly at him.
He would chase in on the pill and
often get the ball coming up on the
bound, what the players call fight
ing the ball" Many errors resulted
from this. Now Weaver is playing the
boUnces. Probably few fans noticed
yesterday that on one bounder Buck
waited until he saw how it would
bounce, then backed up step and
took it in position to throw quickly.
These little things prove the willing
and good worker. Weaver is also
improving in his batting The major
ity of his hits travel on a line with
plenty of speed.

WORDS followed, DQC LlIQ started the
game. He purposely kicked himself
out of the game in the fourth inning
on a decision that could not be ques-
toned. Then the third baseman and
his boss argued the matter on the
field, Evers calling Tim hard and the
latter coming back with the languid
remark that he was tired of being
the whole team and carrying eight
men on his shoulders. In effect Tim
dared Evers to discipline him, declar-
ing he had been the Cub team for
three years.
Even if Zim had not kicked himself
out of the game he might have been
lifted because Of his persistent criti-
cism of Ward Miller for letting Ma
gees Texas Lacquer get by. Zim
grabbed so much at Miller that the
latter got sore. More oratory. It's

Good Old Santa Goes
To Many Odd Places

" GOD old Santa Claus looks in
upon pretty nearly everybody
at Christmas time, and the fes-
tival Of which he is patron is
celebrated in some very odd ways and
out of the way places in our country.
At Ellis island, in the harbor of New
York, on Christmas day several hun
dred children, with their parents,
usually await debarkation on the
shores Of America. There is a null
titude of German Kinder" of Italian
''bambinos" and Of youngsters of
every nationality, as much interested,
all Of them, in Christmas doings as
any Yankee young folks could possibly
be. 1t is indeed an occasion Of great
excitement for them, inasmuch as the
missionary societies have provided for
these humble aliens a wealth Of good
cheer, and with the help Of donations
made for the purpose, the day is rem
dered joyful for all, both young and
old, toys being plentifully distributed
among the little ones.
The loneliest places in the world are
some Of the lighthouses which our
government maintains along the coast
for the protection of mariners. Yet
Santa Claus finds his way to them,
and in his honor feast, even though
it be a humble one, is held. 1t may
be that the barren rock which the
lighthouse marks affords room enough
for the keeping Of a dozen chickens,
the latest of which are suitably sacri-
feed.
But even this is not practicable in
such a spot as Boon island, off the
coast Of Maine, a dangerous bit of
terra firma which is continually swept
by the waves. Only a few years ago,
so the story goes, a little girl four
years of age daughter Of the keeper
of Boon liGht, was so distressed be-
cause her father had been prevented
by continual storm from going to the
mainland for the customary Christmas
goose that she stole out Of the light
| house at night and knelt in a sheltered
| spot to pray
"Dear Cod" she said, please send
us a goose for our Christmas dinner!
Hardly had she spoken the words
when a great wild goose flew (as some
times happens in such places against
the big lantern above and fell dead al
her feet, to be promptly carried in and
presented to the family as a bird lit

The uoIIest Beast.

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world is monkey, a grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
This is so utterly grotesque a beast
that it would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see it. The ug-
illness is not of an amusing kind. but Of
an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has a sort of beard and a countenance
unlike anything else in shape and
lines. The monkey itself is not partic-
ularly savage, but is so hideous that
the natives of its country, South Amer
lea, say that no beast of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it. Even hungry
jaguar will starve in a cageful of sakis

Russian customs are still retained to a
great extern though the islands belong
to the United States.
But, speaking of Alaska, it is q fact
curious enough that Santa Claus in
real life is seen there at Christmastide
as nowhere else in the world, with his
reindeer. The superintendent OF the
reindeer stations, established by the
government for the benefit Of the
natives, harness the tamest of their
animals and, hitching them to sleigh
filed with bags containing provisions
tobacco and other desirable things,
drive through the Eskimo villages and
leave at each humble hut one of the
sacks as a reminder that the Christ
Child, about whom these poor people
have learned from the missionaries, is

STRENGTHENS shin KeeIs.

In rough weather at sea a ship has
to withstand enormous shocks and
strains. This is specially so in the
case where the ship is lifted half clear
of the sea by wave and then comes
crashing down again. To make the
ship invulnerable to this terrible buff
feting the bottom is made in double
thickness, with a few feet space in be-
tween. Before the commencement of
voyage this part is pumped full Of
water and is really huge water cush-
ion, which distributes the effects Of
shocks, which. if applied only to one
portion of the ships bottom, would
