"Biddy" McPhee Talks.

Modern ball PARLIAMENTARY
pitchers-are too much petted and pam.
pered," says king Bid McPhec. one OF
the greatest ball players the game ever
knew, and the idol Of Cincinnati fans OF
| fifteen or twenty years ago.
In our day We never thought ii worth
while to carry more than eleven or
twelve players. Our pitchers never COM
| planned II IL vas necessary to work
every other day. Old Charley Rad
| bourne worked every day a greater part
of the season. The pitchers pitched
| themselves out, and the wear and tear
| was just as hard then as it is now. In
| fact, the games were longer and they
| actually had to pitch more balls. They
pitched for strike-outs and put all they
had or have now on the ball.
Pitchers won't be right II they don't
work often. Four or five at most are
plenty for a minor league club. Those
who are inclined to be wild can work
often and gain control 1t is better for
the pitcher and saves money for the
club owner.
They never complained of a sore arm
or bruised finger. Seldom did a club
carry more than one catcher. the second
string catcher always being a cheap and
inferior man.
"Of course. there are more ball play
ers now and more competition, but there
is more of a disposition to spoil and
pamper players.
There isn't much new in modern base
ball. We worked the squeeze play
many, many years ago.
Modern baseball hasn't developed
any great speed. Rail- players stole
more bases in tho old days. They have
cut down the possibility of stealing
somewhat. but they haven't increased
the speed OF any players.
''Mathewson, Marquard. Wood, Walsh
and johnson are great pitchers, but
they are no greater than Clarkson. or
Rusie. or Kid Nichols. or Radbourne.
and they haven't invented anything new
in the assortment of curves TO fool the
batters.
Ball players have learned one good
lesson-and at a bitter cost. II is no
longer possible to booze and dissipate
and get to the top. That is one good
thing about competition. II was impos-
sible to replace the stars of twenty
years ago. and they did what they
pleased. Now the fear that a younger
man may usurp the stars place holds
the latter to a strict and temperate life
There is no other game like 1t under
the sun. Nothing compares with base
ball in the affections of true, red-blood-
cd Americans"

in a we'll known periodical. Before she
left New York, she also arranged with
Harper's Magazine for shorter serial
the scenes of which are laid in her
well known field. When she was ask
ed what was to be the theme of this
story, Mrs. Harris smiled.
TITS the story of one woman told
by another woman, the sort of biog-
raphy Martha might have written OF
Mary when she was peeved at the way
her sister wasted valuable time at the
Masters feet"
This was all she would reveal about
the plot But she did give assurance
that 1t would not be "blasphemous.'
Thereby hangs a tale.
It seems that a prominent woman Of
the south has recently charged Mrs
Harris with this >crime. 1t happened
that when the Federation of Women's
clubs was about to meet last autumn in
Atlanta, some one proposed that an
evening should be devoted to the
discussion of Cora Harris and her
books. The proposal met with an en-
thusiastic response from the entertain
ing committee and was agreed upon
without dissenting vote.
But when the president reached
home. and. thinking she would brush
up and prepared to hol dher own in
the evening" procured copy of ''The
Recording Angel" she was Mortified. 1t
seems that she had supposed it was
Sabbath school tract. So she imme-
diateiy wired that she could not take
part in the celebrating of "blasphemy.
But she was willing that Mrs. Harris
should appear before the federation
and defend herself if she could in an
address. Unfortunately, or FORUM
ately. all this took place without the
victims knowledge. Mrs. Harris was
I'll in q distant state at the time, and
never knew of the pending charge made
against her writings. The matter was
kept a profound secret. having been
told only to about 800 women in
strictest confidence"

Tuesday evening the Wallace Bruce
C. L. S. C. spent the hours very pleas
antly and proftably at the home of
Mr.. Kenneth Bruce. Mr.. Bruce spoke
most delightfully."- of the homes and
haunts of Scott and Burns. Mrs
Bruce described most entertainingly and
graphically, the cathedrals of England
and the impression they made upon
her. Mrs. Bruce is deeply interested
in these cathedrals and made special
study of them during her travels last
summer. Sidney Lanier was the poet
under discussion for the evening. Rev.

Kate Burks recited and Miss Dorma

Half veil and half disclose

And living things her sweet breath

And lift their heads for joy Of her,
and laugh
Thou art no longer there.
Yet hours there be,
Child OF Hyperion, sacred to thee,
That dearer gifts confer;
When mortals lay before thy dimlit
shrine
A thankfulness of worship more de
vine
Than any offered her!
When after night. distressful spent
Night sleepless and intolerably long,
Comes, unexpected, eloquent,
A tentative, faint note Of song;
And the o'erwearied watcher signs.
And. lying still. with tear-wet eyes,
Harkens while soft ascending lays

THE WOMAN WHO
POINTS THE WAY.

Do you know her?-the woman who
knows it all?
II you speak of cooking she puts you
right Immediately! If you have re-
ceipe handed down in your family for
generations and the pride Of your
heart, she tells you, with frankness.
that all these many years you and
your family have been laboring under
a delusion; your recipe is unhealth-
full, extravagant, and does not COM
pare with one which she uses and
gives to you with much unsolicited
criticism of yours.
Have you just finished a piece Of
fancy work? She marvels at the time
it has taken you and at the materials
used and the methods employed. She
will point out your mistakes to you
and hope you may do better next
time.
Have you travelled? 1t may be that
you have toured Europe several times
and climbed to the pinnacle OF the
Alps. But she, who has never been
outside the state which Is responsible
for her, can lecture you on the bet
ter routes of travel, the kind of clothes
to carry, the length Of time to remain.
the objects to observe. the expenses
to be met, and hundreds of other inn
portant points that you in your many
years as globe trotter have, of course,
not become familiar with.
Is your family an old and celebrated
one? If she boasts a family tree yours
cannot compare to it, or If the family
tree is conspicuously absent in her
family. she will hoot at yours, and re-
mind you of the great men and women
who have been arbiters of their own
fortunes, and the many degenerates
who have coats-of-arns galore.
If you have been a business woman
for many years and she has just start
ed out In a business career she can
give you many reasons why you have
not yet reached the pinnacle of sue
cess, and If she has long been in busi-
ness and you are just starting out she
can give you many and sundry rea-
sons why you can never hope to at
tain to what she has achieved.
The woman who knows it all is a
success, according to her own lights
but her little footrule can never reach
the depths or measure the heights of
life's immensity.
