 Nothing has been decided about the game for the benefit of the flood suf- ferers. Manager McCann of the Bridgeport club arrived home this morning and learned of the sugges- ton made by Manager Keenan of the Yosts. He got into communication with the Yost leader but nothing was agreed upon. McCann wants to have the game at NewfieId because of the superior seating arrangements and facilities for handling a larger crowd.
 The Bridgeport manager said he did not go away to secure players but m erely to get in touch with 8 man ager who could send him men if they were needed in hurry. He has made arrangements whereby he can get sur plus material from Jersey City of the International league if he needs any body. Jersey City will get the New York American castoffs and it is prob able that Pitcher Green, last year. with Ho1yoke, will go to Skeetervil1e.

Water Puts Babies to Sleep.

The people who live in the noun tains round Simla have some very curious customs. They believe, for instance, that children benefit by having cold water poured on their heads, though they are unable to state wherein the benefit lies. Ba- bies, from shortly after their birth to the age of four or five years, are daily put with their heads under a small stream of water, remaining there for several hours without wet ting its clothes. The water hits the top of its head and then runs off without wetting its clothes.
