Higgins, Sheckard
Best Wait ExpOnents
Johlike Patience q This Duo Gains
Many Runs for the
Cardinals.

James Tilden Sheckard and Miller
Higgins are drawing bases on balls
by the bakers dozen as of old Those
two great opponents Of the art of
waiting and walking are now with
the Cardinals. Both have been an
annoyance to pitchers for years, but
this is the first year that pitchers
are called upon to face them both in
one afternoon.
Higgins has participated in As
games this season. and has drawn
80 bases on balls and scored 16 runs.
He has made 81 actual appearances
al bat and Of these only 81 were le-
gal.
Last season while with the Cubs,
Sheckard, the veteran Outfielder, drew
122 walks. Higgins worked pitchers
for 81. They are the head walters"
Of the National League.

Another thing that impressed me
was the players on the Chattanooga
team. They seemed to be instilled
with the spirit of Elberfeld and did
not lag I'm going and coming between
innings, which Is greatly in contrast
with some Of the teams that l have
by the difference In temperament, but
81 would be good thing for some
Of these teams 20 follow the example
OF Elberfeld in this respect. and he
is an old man compared to some of
tho others. The lords and dukes and
earls, presidents, owners and man
ayers, rules committee. etc, can get
together every week OF every night,

shorten the games but when you
come down TO the finale the players
control the situation,

Have you ever seen McGTaw come

great opponents Of Baseball walk

thrill down the spine Of every base

we are In the minor leagues Is no
reason why we should not have that
same spirit Elberfeld In his pRlmy

seen him in action with his pep you

HAS
MEN KEYED To
HIGHEST PITCH
By Joe Bean.

~ NE Of the things that impressed
me during the Chattanooga Sc
ries was the spirit displayed by
Manager Elberfeld OF course. he IS
manager and captain and in that ca
pacity he felt that he must lead his
men as a real leader should.
He must lnstin into tkssn the do
or die" spirit, and ! believe that at
times he let's this spirit get the best
of him. He uses a line Of talk not
in keeping with his position. and this
is bad business II is the same as a
fellow trying 10 pull on a play, and
# he gets caught he is a bonehead;
If he gets away with 1t he is all right.
There are lots Of players that use
profane language and get away with
out being heard, but Elberfeld's voice
was even heard in the stands at
Poncey. He has all his men keyed

How Travis Defeated H.H. Wilder

got away a fine drive but Joseph top
ped his badly. His second was short
of Andy's drive and his third Just
reached the edge of the green and
was forty feet from the hole. Andy
played a peach of a second which
stopped two feet from the cup. Be
lieving that he had no chance to win
the hole Joseph turned to Andy and
extending his hand said, Mr.. Stew
art concede you the hole. II Is
your match. / congratulate you"
"Oh. no." said Andy, be a sport
and play it out"
Joseph putted and holed his putt of
forty feet. Stewart missed his two
foot putt and ran past the hole about
the same distance and then missed
his four coming back, losing the hole.
Thus the expressions BE a SPORT
became the common one for the rest
of the week.

.P0lS0NS GET IN FOOD
RESTAURANT KEEPERS SOME.
TIMES GIVEN scARES.
Blunders Which Prove Costly to Pro-
ducers Of Eatabes and Serious
to Customers, Sometimes Re-
sutng In Death.

IL the proprietor of restaurant
ever has nightmare, 1t is to the effect
that some poisonous ingredient has
accidentally found its way into dish
and that the papers are full OF blood
curdiing accounts of the suferings and
death of his clients.
About Ave years ago nearly score
of people were badly poisoned after
dining in the restaurant Of well
known West Central hotel in London,
and although the source of the poison
was never accurately traced-all that
was discovered being that 1t was some
form of ptomaine poisoning-yet to
this day that restaurant has hardly
recovered its former popularity.
More recently blunder was made
In a London fried fish shop. Engine
| oil was, in some extraordinary fash
ion substituted for the cottonseed
I oil which is commonly used for frying
fish. This mistake proved absolutely
! fatal to the business, and after time
the proprietor was forced to close his
| doors.
Oddly enough, a very similar Incl
dent has just come TO light in another
! largo town. On the morning of March
z last a baker made the alarming dis
covery that the vegetable oil which he
had used in making his fancy bread
and pastry overnight had been deliv-
cred to him in barrel which had
been previously used for storing kero-
sene
The moment he heard of the blum
der he rushed off and engaged the
services of six doctors and dozen
carts. The carts were sent round the
town to retrieve the bad bake, while
the doctors gave their services free
to any customers who had already
! partaken of the poisoned food.
Most readers win remember the
arsenic-in- beer epidemic Of 1902 This
was the most extensive poisoning on
record in England. 1t was four months
before the authorities realized what
the matter was, and by that time
there were over a thousand cases in
| five counties, and 81 deaths had taken
place.
The source of all the trouble was Q
minute quantity Of arsenic in the beer
supplied by a Manchester brewer. II
was no fault of the firm for analysis
OF the liquor showed that the arsenic
originally came from glucose which
had been made with impure sulphuriC
acid. It was the acid which contained
the arsenic.
In the year following the great
arsenic poisoning came the oyster
scare There were outbreaks OF ty
phoid fever at Winchester and al
Portsmouth The fever was traced K
oysters, and the result was that fol
some time oysters were almost un
salable. One big oyster firm which
had been paying $3.50 a week in wages
| dropped to s75 week. and it is reck
oned that the oyster merchants
throughout the country must have lost
at least 100000.
