une same thing. Inc stOry Oh nFs
birth is told In medieval legend. This
italian story says that his name was
st. Nicholas and he was a bishop In
the fourth century. He had a great
deal of money, but he was so good to
poor people, and especially to chill
.dren, that he gave 1t away as fast as
he got 1t. There are many tales about
his good deeds, but perhaps the most
interesting one is how he brought
back to life three children who had
been killed.
In Italy he was known as a tall
man, dressed In white robes and
wearing a crown. But the happy
Dutch did not think of this kind man
that way. To the Dutch people he
always appeared as short-legged and
pot-bellied and well wrapped in furs.
He was accompanied by black
slave, who carried a bag full of sweets
and presents st. Nicholas carried
a birch rod with him and asked the
children who had been good and who
had been bad. II they we're good he
gave them nuts, crackers and. can
dies, but if they had been bad they
got a fiogging. The children put
their wooden sabots in the open FIRE
place SO he could put some more pres
.ents In these on going out.
In Russia he was worshiped the
same way, but he always appeared

ments of bishop, with inter and
crown. His companion was a beard.
ed man wearing fur coat, carrying
a stick and a basket full of presents.
There are many interesting legends
associated with the name of st. Mich
-olas or Santa Claus in England. One
is that he was put In prison for some
unknown offense, but managed to
escape This Is told in can Hue and
Cry After Christmas" and 1t tells
of the arraignment, conviction and
imprisonment of Christmas, and how
he broke out of prison in the holt
days and got away, only leaving his
hoary hair and gray beard sticking
between two iron bars of a window"
In Germany he was at first con-
sidered as an advance courier for the
Christkindlein, distributing part of
the angel childs gifts and promising
a visit of the Christkindlein on Christ
mas eve when he heard that the chill
dren were good. In some of the small
places he appeared grotesquely-
sometimes In goatskin and dancing
like a goat, again In a white sheet
with a stick and two lights in his
mouth. The legend says that Claus,
Nicholaus, Necht Ruprecht, or what
ever his name is, comes in wearing
a white sheet and holding a stick in
his hand" He tells the children to
pray. and II they disobey he fogs
them, but II they obey he gives them
plenty Of nuts and apples.
The Italian children also believed
in their patron saint, but they wor-
SHIPPED his wife instead. Her name is
La Befana and they pay as much hon.
age to her as the other children do
to the saint. She is not good look
ing, for she is supposed to be more
than 1900 years old. The legend says
that when the three wise men we're
about to pass her window she re-
fused to go to the window and salute
them. She saw her mistake when It
was too late, and has tried to repent
by making the children OF Italy happy

WNIfHo is this grand old

HO is this grand old
man, adored by every
one, and where was
he born? The answer
is not easy, for Santa
Claus was born ages
ago and he has been
so busy ever since that
he never has taken
the time to study his
family tree. One thing
he knows, and that is
he has many names.

him Santa Claus, the

on her birthday, which is the sixth
Of January. She is supposed to be
Santa Claus wife, and when she is
not busy helping him she is in Italy
getting ready for her yearly celebra
ton, which takes place on the sixth
Of January, when she gives the chill
dren toys. fruits, candies. etc.
She is also known In Russia and
great many children believe In Mrs.
instead of Mr.. Santa Claus. There
she is called Babouska, and the story
tells that she is so kind because she
is repenting of her sins.
When the Dutch came to America
they brought their stories of their pa
iron saint and their Christmas cele-
brations. And the children COM
menced to hang up their stockings In
stead of putting wooden shoes into
the open fireplace. Their saint was
the same kind, jovial man, excepting
that he came with reindeer instead of
driving horses as in Holland. The
German children told their stories of
the Christ child. who sent Prince Ru-
precht as his servant to inquire into
their behavior and to distribute their
presents. They did not see great
deal of difference in the stories and
so took the twenty-fifth of December
as the day for Santa Claus appear
ance.
In France 1t was the angel child
who came every year to bless the chill
dren and to remember them with
some small gift. Afterward he had
so much to do he sent his servant,
Pere Noel. which is the Santa Claus
of the French and Dutch children, to
help him distribute his gifts and to
tell them that he will come to bless
them before the New Year.
Though Santa Claus has large
sleigh and two splendid horses or
reindeer, according to the countries
he visits, he has such long distances
to cover that he cannot appear in all
countries on the same day. Santa
Claus was born in Holland, or rather
1t took the Dutch children to find him.
But he Is great traveller and goes to
all countries, where he has many
shops and thousands of men and wom-
en- working for him. He goes to all
the forests Of Germany, especially to
the wonderful BLACK Forest" and
gets thousands and thousands OF
trees.
But even the great forests Of Ger
many cannot give him all the trees
he needs, so he hurries to Russia and
even to Sweden and Norway until he
gets all he wants. He has many shops
in London. Paris, Chicago, New York,
and in many other cities. His great
factories are in Nuremberg and in
Switzerland, in the Bernese Overland.
Here he has many of the dolls, wood
en- toys and miniature watches made
that go to all countries OF the world.
By the time he reaches Germany
the Christmas markets are emptied of
their trees, which are always dressed
awaiting his coming.
Then he takes a fast steamer to
America, and by the time he lands in
New York he is pretty we'll tired out.
He always brings one or more serv-
ants with him and he has so many
homes to visit that only few of the
children get to see him. He hurries
in and out of the chimneys Just as
fast as he can.

1t is interesting to note that many

wondering duly what in the world a
kick-out is and is for, anyway. The
net result of this will be that in a
few more years the, committee will
do away with ID altogether and the
rule then will read that after a touch
back or a safety one may only put
the BAN in play by a scrimmage on
their own 20yard line. This will cut
out the whole of rule 10, covering
considerably over page, and several
other rules that are now necessary to
cover the method of procedure in
case any team should take notion
to dig up this obsolete fashion.
1t was the same with the rule re-
garding the way the ball should be
put into play at scrimmage. For
years and years the rule said ii could
be put into play either by kicking it
forward or swapping it back. Modern
defense spoiled the former method of
putting it in play as a feasible prOpo-
sition. so the committee finally cut It
out for simplicity's sake. Then the
rule still said that 1t could be snap

what he thought of the Yankees

Cobb replied:

Gilhooey in the front rank of base

ting, and, as he is a corking good walt
err for bases on balls, he will equal a

isn't afraid of anything when cover
ing third base, and as soon as he learns
few things about fielding that posi-
ton he will be at the tou. As a base
runner. l believe Maisel will come near
leading the American League. He is
great Splinter, but. better still. he
knows how and when to start and is
one of the most daring sliders l ever
saw.

added that there wasn't a chance to get

rather, at the basket. Passing and
running up and down the floor also
plays big part in the training just u
present.
The squad has been divided into
two teams and all the candidates are
getting an opportunity to display their
worth. The first team is composed of
Ed Carter, captain of last years
squad; Tillow Forbes, Willingham
Smith, PIE" Weaver. Tom Abbott,

and Coleman.
During the past ten days short
scrimmages have been held every
night and some interesting games
have been the result. The second
team is showing better every time
they line up and the new men are
improving so fast that it is now hard
to tell just who will make the first
team this fall. The old men begin to
realize that their places are not so
secure, and they are fighting harder
than ever to retain them.
The management is working on the
schedule, and the training table is
now in operation.
