| 1t is amusing to watch the French
boys throw from the outfield, and
pitch. They can bat astonishingly well
but they throw like girls. 1t requires
the center fielder, shortstop, second
basemam and pitcher to get long
| drive to center back home, and when
each man muffs the ball and has to
scramble for it before he can pass it
| on, the batter has ample time for
about three tours of the bases. And
when a pitcher hits a batter the game
stops for a time while apologies are
made. Then, too, Frenchman does
SO hate and perfectly loathe to soil
his clothing or even to disarranga it.
Also, the average Frenchman, rough
famous for his bravery when facing
cannon or musket fire, is--well he
shrinks from taking a chance on
or turning a charley horse, and it can
be imagined how ridiculous would be
game of baseball in which thought
of these minor matters were put ahead
of thoughts of the long end of score.
Such conditions do not make well for
speed, and in several games played
about Paris the ball had to be knocked
a mile for the man to beat even the
frenzied throw of the Partisan in
fielder or short outfielder to the bag. |
In other words there is no such thing
at least it has not been shown so
far-of beating out a bunt or a short |
hit After the batter once hits the I
ball and it has landed anywhere but |
in the nit of a fielder, a spectator can
tell right then whether the runner
will be thrown out. Ard just mag
inc baseball game without close
decisions.
And it is totally impossible tc get
it into their heads that sliding bases
is an important adjunct of the game.
A few days ago when Tod Sloan WAS
drilling his team, he was impresslng
on the Frenchman the Importance of
getting first and of stealing bases. ,
Tod went to the bat, and with a final
admonition to his pupils to learn eed
in reaching bases by watching him
closely he swatted the ball out and
made for first. AS luck would have
it the ball was quickly fielded and
Tod slid for it. Instantly the game
broke up, every player leaving his post
and running to the PROSTATE ex-jockey
to pick him up and excitedly ask him
how he came to fall, and if he was
much injured.
But the French boys are learning
FAST and will soon be able to carry on
/ corner-lot style of game very well.
rhe sporting writer on Excelsior" a
morning paper here, states, however,
hat tho Frnch will never learn to :
,lay the game right.
Baseball" he said, ''is the most
scientific game in the world, bar none.

ORANGE BLOOMS ARE
DESTITUTE OF HONEY
Trees of Middle South California Found
to be Without Nectar; Growers
Expect Bumper Crop.

A peculiar condition of the orange
blossoms of the San Bernardino citrus
district IS noted by a correspondent in
that city who says,
Orange growers throughout the in
terror of southern California are
puzzled at a strange condition of the
orange blossoms, which are just COM
ing out. Of fragrance there is plenty,
for the air for miles around the groves
is saturated with the perfume. The
blossoms clothe the trees much as US
uaI, covering them until the green of
the foliage is almost hidden. But
There is no honey in the flowers.
'This condition was first noticed by
the bee-men, naturally, for they were
on the look out for such things. This
ordinarily rich source of honey supply
is absolutely gone this year, and no
one knows quite what to make of it..
Growers are specializing as to what it
means, a large crop or a very short
one. There is little vitality in the bios
SONS. This is explained by the fact
that the trees had to put forth a great
deal of sap in order to make up for the
freezes in January, and then, too this
great crop of blossoms has required
lots Of strength from the trees.
AS a matter of fact, most of the
growers are optimistic. They say the
inside bloom, the blossoms inside the
trees and sheltered by the leaves and
branches are a large plenty and will
supply all the wonted crop of fruit
These inside blooms will also escape
| the heat and drying sunlight of July
Another thing in their favor"

ORIGIN OF TONG WARS

Hatchetmen are not to be con
founded with tongmen and the de-
predations that the hatchetmen of
the old days committed were nothing
more than the murders and robberies
of professional assassins and thieves.
Tong wars. so the information comes
from a source that is considered re-
liable, are of comparatively recent
date, and started in this fashion:
Some fifty years ago two Chinese
gardeners lived near each other on
what was then the outskirts of san
Francisco one of the gardeners
kept chickens. that is, he possessed
them, but he failed to keep them out
of the garden patch of his neighbor.
The neighbor protested and expos
tulated. but with no result; the
chickens continued to destroy the
: lettuce and beans. The neighbor be-
/ came so exasperated that he Wrung
| the necks of the offending fowls and
! threw them over the fence into the
owners yard.
The owner was furious. He Sc
| cured gun and killed his neighbor
It happened that they were members
of different tongs which at that time
We're little more than we'll organized
| fraternaI societies. y brother of the
dead man Immediately took revenge
and a relative of the last to die did
likewise Immediately all over the
city. in Oakland and other nearby
cities Chinese We're murdered with
out apparent cause. The police We're
baffled and as helpless as children:
they did not know the cause of the
outbreak or how to check it. In a
remarkably short time some twelve
Chinese were killed. The law of an

BORROW TWICE AS
MUCH AS YOU NEED

local financier is responsible for
this story. which may at the same
time serve as a hint. He tells US
that a friend of his came to him q
few days ago and told him about an
acquaintance who wanted to borrow
500
why doesn't he borrow 5000,
them" asked the financier.
Because he doesn't need 5000"
Il know. But listen: Let him
borrow 5000, and pay a hundred of it
back on time or little before time
Then his creditor will think he's go
ing to get the rest of il. That's a
fine little system and your friend
ought to know it
This is a grand scheme. Borrow
twice as much as You need, in order
to establish your crelit.-CleVelan
Plain Dealer
Arizona republican., 1913-05-29

eye for an eye and a life for a life
was being enforced. and neither side
would quit while the other had the
advantage.
At last peace was declared. but
the tongs had passed from peaceful
fraternal societies into militant or
CARNATIONS for protecting and aVeng-
ing its members. Each organization
has a number of gunner on its
pay roll who stand ready to kill the
member of any tong on a moments
notice. They are bold men and good
shots. and their reckIessness is en-
cOura aged by the knowledge that a
powerful and wealthy organization
stands behind them to keep away
punishment under the American laws.
