base for Brooklyn. Humpty was sent
down to Nashville and shifted out to
left field one afternoon. He wasn't
used to the lay of the ground, which
had a gentle swell toward the fence,
breaking into a downward slope about
fifty feet from the wall Somebody hit

He forgot to take into consideration
the fact that he was mounting higher

to catch the ball it struck him on the
head and bounced over the fence for
a home run.

PERCENTAGE OF BROKEN FINGERS
IN BASEBALL is QUITE SMALL

WEST BADEN Ind, March Ia
Unbroken fingers in baseball are as
far apart as Chance and Murphy.
A baseball finger" is no longer the
hall mark of the professional player.
Viewing the game for the first time,
seeing the ball hurled about by a
smoothly working infield, watching
the players hurl themselves in front
of a hard hit ball. grasp 1t with
gloved hand and with scarcely per-
ceptible hesitation shoot it to an
other infelder. the novice spectator
wonders how many fingers each play
err breaks ina season.
AS a matter of fact, the number Of
men who suffer from broken digital
bones in the course of season is
remarkably small. 1t is the excep-
ton to the rule when an infielder's
hands suffer; the catchers, yesl
Chiefly because of foul tips, but the
infielders are too expert to get their
fingers in the path of the ball.
Boys who learn the game before
they are out of short breeches aren't
apt to catch bali girl fashion," if
they did their pals would ridicule
them out of the game. or broken fin
gers would force them out. 1t is a
sure road to broken bones to try and
catch thrown or batted ball With
fingers extended like graphing hooks
toward the ball.
There are a few cardinal princi-
pies for catching a ball that must be
adhered to If the player hopes to
become recognized as a tanner of I'M
ruly pianos.
For it is not infrequent that on
ball club three or four athletes can
render selections from the operas on
the piano with no mean skill. The
pianos in the hotel here have been
busy by players training here this

BANNER SALE Of
PRESENT SEASON

the $12.77 Mark.
HIGHEST PRICE IS $42.
Market Closed Until After
the Holidays---Next Sale
December 80.

The banner tobacco sale of the sea-
house of the Bourbon Tobacco Ware
house Company, when a total of
218,920 pounds of tobacco was sold
for 27,S87.35, or an average of
$12.77 per hundred. The market
was the most active of the season.
Throughout the consignments the
colory grades were much in evidence
as indicated by the crop averages and
prices were higher than at any time
since the opening of the season.
Prices ranged from $3.50 to $4,000,
the latter being paid for a basket
from the crop of Plummer & Nc
Clure. Baskets which sold for $40
per hundred were plentiful and grow
ers on the whole were well pleased
with the sale, not more than one
half dozen baskets being rejected
during the entire sale.
The sale Saturday is a further de.
monstration that the Paris market is
the best in Central Kentucky, and the
fact going broadcast is resulting in
consignments being received from all
the surrounding counties. With re-
days there will be a full floor of the
weed to offer the buyers. The sale
which was scheduled for today was
called off on account of an order be-
ing issued from Lexington that no
buyers would be furnished and it was
decided that the next sale would be
held on Dec. 80.
Up to and including the sale of Sat
urday a total of 1881, 165 pounds of
tobacco had been disposed of for
$164,92716, or an average of $12.32.

That Recalls Ways Of the
Cleveland Administration.

Washington, D. G.. May 2o,-
(Special) Granting that large pro-
portion of the voters who contribute
to the success of A party expect office
or other advancement thereby, it is
quite evident that correspondlngly
large proportion of those who voted
for President Wilson last November
are distinctly disappointed over the
painfully deliberate way the new
President has Of reaching conclu-
sons about dispensing patronage.
They are making comparisons with
former administrations, and especial
tIy with the two Cleveland admins
rations, to the marked discredit of
the Wilson administration, now on
its third month, with but few i'm
po-tant changes made outside of the
cabinet. As a consequence the
countenances of the office seekers in
the lobbies of the WashingtoR hotels
and in the corridors of the capitol
are "sicklied Ger with pale cast OF
thought"
Apropos of the melancholy condi.
ton of the office seekers, Private
John Allen, of Mississippi, sixteen
years a member Of the House, serv-
ing during both Cleveland adminis-
trations, while here few days ago,
recalled the story he had told Mr..
Cleveland when that President
was slow appointing a favorlte
of Mr.. Aliens to office. 1t was of q
TapeIo young man whose father
died leaving large estate that was
somewhat entangIed in chancery
litigation, with the proverbial chan
cery delay in reaching settlement.
So often was settlement deferred

pair to group of his creditors:
