ing the edge over the other with d
percentage of about .4sO or there
abouts. and a slugging total for ex-
ira bases that would beat anything in
past records.
Wagner cracked out three home
runs of Marquard last season,
not to mention a pair of three-bag-
gers and liberal spr!nkling of ordi-
nary base-hits. Wilson did the very
same thing against Lavender. al
though his home runs won games
from the Cubs, while, on the other
hand, Honus was unfortunate In the
fact that two of his three circuit
smashes of Marquard counted for
nothing, as the Pirates lost.
Wilson's batting against Lavender
all season was something noteworthy.
Three times on the Chicagos grounds
the Texan slammed one of Lavender's
spitters into the right field pavilion.
and the drives came at the right time,
too. One of Wilson's walops was
on September 4, when the Cubs still
had fine chance of ousting the Gil
ants. 1t was a four-base smash in
the eighth inning. with two runners
on base that beat the Cubs. Another
came on October 3, Wilson's homer
In the eighth inning making the score
stand a tie in the game that later
was thrown out on protest because
Cotter batted out of turn.
Throughout the season Wilson was
thorn In Lavender's side. Aside from
his three homers and three triples off
the spitballer, Wilson had sundry
singles, etc., among them the punky
base hits on June rs that robbed Law
ender of credit for no-hit game. 1t
was q single to left field that evaded
Jimmy Sheckard's grasp.

With the exception OF the minerals.
it is difficult for one to find on the
earth's surface substances that do not
tempt the appetite OF some sort Of
animal. The list of queer articles Of
diet includes the earth. which is
munched with satisfaction by the clay
eater. and the walrus hide, which the
Eskimo relishes as much as does John
Bull his joint of beef.
1t is not generally known, however,
that men have eaten dinners that have
consisted only of books.
In 1870 Barnabo Visconti compelled
two papal delegates to eat the bull Of
excommunication which they had
brought him, together with its s:lken
cords and leaden seal. AS the bull
was written on parchment, not paper.

A similar anecdote was related by
Oelrich, In his "Dissertatio de Biblio-
thecarum ct Librorum Fatis" Q756)
of an Austrian general who had
signed a note for 1000 forms. and
when 1t fell due compelled his credi-
tors to eat it. The tartars, when books
fall into their possession, eat them,
that they may acquire the knowledge
contained in them.
