1896, when Delehanty was a member
of the Philadelphia team. Far be it
from me to relate some of the awful
things he did to my pitching, but I'll
just cite an instance that will go to
show how really effective he was
against other twirlers of fifteen years
ago. Bill Terry was pitching against
the Phillies that afternoon and Del"
swatting like veritable demon, tore
off four home runs and single in five
times at bat. That meant a total of
seventeen bases. del" didn't depend

the greatest natural hitter the game
ever produced. While On the subject
of Delehanty's batting performance
against Terry I'm reminded of the
wonderful showing made a few sea-
sons later by Clarence (Ginger) Beau
mont, a southpaw batter, who formerly
held down a berth in the Pittsburgh
outfield and later appeared with the
Boston Nationals and theChicago Cubs
Beaumont, however, relied upon his
speed more than upon his ability to
pole long drives. In this respect he
topped all the other batters of that
time, for it is reported on good au-
thority that Beau laid down bunt
one day at Cincinnati and made the
trip to first base in less than three
seconds. He established his great
record July %. 1899. at Exposition
Park, Pittsburgh, getting six inf1eld
hits and scoring every time. Wiley
Piatt was on the mound that after

Wiley was a left-hander who could

FIRST TO USE CURVED BALL
Star Pitcher of Princeton University
Is Given credls for Discovering
Peculiar Delivery.

Statisticians of athletics at Prince.
ton University have entered a claim
FOR j. M. Mann, '76, as the discoverer
of the art of curve pitching. Accord
ing to baseball lore S,ailable at
Princeton, Mann was the Star pitcher
of the college team, known as the
Nassau nine at that time. During the
fall Of 1874 Mann pitched several
games in one week, and his peculiar
delivery wore the skin from the tips of
the fingers. In the final contest of the
week he was obliged to play third
base. Late in the game he was forced
to relieve the pitcher in order to save
the contest. Owing to the tender con-
dition of his fingers, Mann was obliged
to throw the ball with little or no
grip. He Immediately noticed that his
delivery was breaking in an odd man
ner. which caused opposing batters to
strike out. During the winter months
he continued to experiment and in the
spring blossomed out as pitcher
with real outcurve at his command

MUST HAVE LINEN cARDcAsE
Fashions Decree Makes 1t Imperative
to Include This Among Neces-
sary Accessories.

The daintily embroidered cardcase
of linen belongs among the necessary
accessories, and the woman who does
not already possess one should i'm,
mediately begin to embroider the
linen.
The needlework shops sell variety
Of designs stamped on coarse or fine
linen, according to the work you de.
sire to place on It.
The thin lingerie frock demands
cardcase of handkerchief linen, en-
broidered with very fine design;
those done in eyelet embroidery are
the most effective. If you, do the tiny
flowers and foliage in solid work, pad
the petals first with da1ning cotton
and cover this with fine mercerized
cotton Scallop the edges, using the
buttonhole stitch, and whipstitch the
sides together.
With the one-piece frock or tailored
costume should be carried cardcase
of heavy linen. The design is not SO
fine on these and can be done with
white or colors.
For instance, if you choose a card

sign can be effectively done In white,
brown or dark blue. There are a few
designs to be worked with the Bulgar.
ian colors, and these are extremely
effective when done in the brilliant
hues on background of tan linen.

First Use of Trousers.

Ancient Brltons were among the
people whose wearing of trousers was
noted by the more civilized ancients
who eschewed them. "Braccae"
c'breeches') seem to have impressed
the Roman mind very much as Chi
nese pigtails did the modern west.
Gaul beyond the Alps was at one time
known as Gallia Braccata-
land; and Cicero taunts a man with
having sprung from "troussered" an
eestors. AS Roman ways degenerated,
the use of trousers began to creep in,
and it is recorded that Alexander Cev-
erus wore white ones, previous en-
perors' trousers having been crimson.

SUMMER HAT MADE AT HOME
CrownIess Design of Net Probably Is
the Best for Amateur MlIIiner
to Attempt.

1t is amazing how many amateur
milliners have sprung up since the
new kind of hat came into being.
There are women, many Of them, who
do not mind paying good price for
winter hat or winter suit, but they
draw the line at fancy price for a
summer hat or summer gown.
They know the possibilities of the
sun for bleaching out any color and
they know how the open air life they
lead takes all the character out of a
frock. So they prefer to divide the
money into many parts and make it
buy many things, and therefore the
chance Of making hats at home has a
strong appeal
1t all looks very easy, and the wom-
an who has skill and clever idea of
line and color may be able to accom-
plish much, but word of warning
should be said to those who are not
sure Of themselves in the field of mil
nnery. A homemade hat is cften
worse than a homemade gown. and
the best of the latter is often spoiled
by the former. The crownless hat
OF net Is the best to attempt, as it
Is made startlingly like e neck run
and held to the head with band of
ribbon.

boast that they have worn their tulle
