LEAGUERS
DID FAST FIELDING

That the fielding Of the American
league was faster in 1913 than it was
in 1912 is evidenced by the fact that
last season the clubs of the Junior or
ganization made "a more double
plays than they did during the pre-
ceding campaign, the figures for the
two years being respectively, SIS and
S12. The Cleveland Maps again car
ried off the honors in manufacturing

contributed 127 double plays. the Ma
tiOnals, III; the White Elephants.

Zoe; the Yankees, 90, and the Red
Sox, 10.
The team that showed the greatest
increase in double plays over the pre-
Vious season was Washington, Griffs
Climbers producing p more double
demises in 1913 than they did in 1912.
The Nationals equaled all American
league records by doubling up the
Highlanders five times, Sept, &c. Joe

SMITH AND PELKEY EXP CTED TO STAGE
FAST FIGHT WHEN THEY MEET NEW YEARS

ger. Jim Buckley Of New York.
Smith has cleaned up every man he
Flynn. Carl Morris, Boer Rodel,
Charles Miller and Langford. His
terrific right hand punch, one of the
deadliest possessed by any heavy
weight, generally has turned the trick
for him, but he also has a greatly i'm
proved left hand. The ex-tar is ex-
pected to be a to 1 favorite over
Pelkey although he will be out
weighed fully 20 pounds.
Beyond the work that Pelkey has
done in the gymnasium here, little
is known of him. Ex-Champion
Tommy Burns, however. insists that
PeIkey is a real champion and that
the boxing world is in for a big sur
prise. Burns, che of the craftiest
boxers that ever pulled on a glove,
has been tutoring Pelkey for months
and has taught him one of the best
left jabs ever flashed by a heavy
weight not barring Corbett. 1t is fast
and carries plenty of steam. He is a
bit slow with his right, but the power
behind it is terrific. Pelkey shows
plenty of action in all of his work,
showing that he not only likes it, but
is in good form. He looms up well,
and if he can avoid Smiths right
Burns prophecy of a surprise for the
sporting world may come true.

try for the empty title left to Arthur

cOntenders have been beaten Sam
LangfOrd lost a decision to Smith and
Jack Johnson tacitly admits that he
does not care to take a chance with
Langford. This, then, leaves the race

MISS PIERCE GIVES READINGS.

MISS IVA PEARCE, TEACHER OF
dramatic art at Augustana college
gave a delightful program of readings
at the First Methodist church last
evening under the auspices of the
Queen Esther circle, a large audience
greeting the entertainer. The program
last evening was of very high order
ana most varied in character embrac-
ing humorous as well as serious, dia-
lect and dramatic selections all OF
which proved the versatility of thu
reader. The special feature of the
program was the reading of Longfel-
lows "Rotart of Sicily" with organ
accompaniment by Miss Lille Cervin
and piano accompaniment by Miss
Effie Johnson, the music taken from
the composition of Cole. This selec-
ton has never before been given in
this city with full musical accompani-
ment. Miss Pearce has succeeded re-
markedly in catching the spirit of the
poem and interpreted the lines with
sweetness and high seriousness that
was most impressive. The musical
setting is very beautiful and was
handled artistically. Miss Pearce has
a most pleasing stage presence, a we'll
modulated voice, is thoroughly IA
miliar with her lines and has extra.

which combine to win the immediate
sympathy and enthusiasm of her

This is the season for canning or

pie 1t is universally liked by every
one, whether simply as canned fruit
or as part of desserts such as pud-
dings, cakes or pies. The favor al

is always wise to have can or two of

There are few utensils which add
much to the ease of canning. There is
no utensil which can take the place of

One or two large bowls should be
ready for the prepared fruit and a
roll of paper toweling near to be used
for covering the fruit if it has to stand
exposed for moment to- the flying

FRUIT SHOULD BE FRESH.
This is meant for all fruits, as some
are more susceptible to spores thar
others. Scales for weighing, a silver
fork and funnel are used in filling the

Barrie a Modest earo net.

]. NJ. Barre's baronetcy is said to be
the first conferred on any man of let
tiers since Sir Walter Scott. You can
scarcely walk along Fleet street now
aGays without meeting a literary or
journalistic knight. but that a scrib-
bling fellow should gain the coveted
honor of a baronetcy Is q rare enough
event to be sensational.
The joke Of 1t Is that this new re-
cruit TO the Gristocracy Is the most
modest Of men. and the very last whom
one could suspect Of having made any
effort himself to gain the decoration.
Ralph Conner has told how he was
once invited to a reception at Free St.
Georges Edinburgh. which was given
by the young people Of the church In
honor Of the rising novelist. Coming
in late. the Canadian met Henry Drum
mond.
"Have you seen BARREL" asked
Drummond.
NO: should like to see him." was
the reply.
WELL" said Drummond. smiling.
'look around till you find hole. look
down in the hole and you will see Bar
RE"
Ralph Conner found Barrie later in
quiet corner, evidently looking for
hole, and somewhat distressed at not
finding it.
All the English speaking world
knows Barrie today as novelist and
playwright. Some recall with a keen
pleasure watching some Of his earliest
steps on the ladder Of fame, and how
delighted all were in his brilliant news
