One Of rha queer things in that city
IS the batting OF George Mullin, the
veteran pitcher Mullin is a jolly,
Cuick-vtt-sd icker and years ago he
began talking back to the bleachers.
He was warned that the bleacherites
would put h,m cut of the business,
bur persisted. Every afternoon he
would walk down in front Of the
bleachers and engage IN verbal
skirmish with the crowd, trying to
hold his own IT rough repartee with
hundreds He abused the crowd,
laughed at them. accused them Of
quitting and enjoyed it, If he had
taken it seriously the result might
have been different. but after time
il became part OF the game and now
the spectators IN the 3leachers would
not be satisfied If Mullin forgot to
start skiruish. Last summer, go

Young fellows were talking

urgent request OF the others he drew
out a card and read what he was go
ing TO say TO Mullin if he came near
their seats.
It is not the great crowds that at

strongest influence over players. True
there is a natural nervousness among

Baptismal Custom.

A pretty custom is followed at bap-
tisms in Heligoland. While a psalm
is being sung a procession of little
boys and girls troop in, passing in
front Of the altar. Each child carries
a pannikin Of water, the contents Of
which are poured into the baptismal
font. Thus all the child's future play

so long ago a more astonishing error
than this one crept into a book review
of ours-a very solemn and scientific
book. 1t consisted of the substitution
of the word caribou for the word

In that case the writer's fierce self
explanation is at least highly plausl-
