take and decided to live it down by
deeds Of worth He didn't sulk He
didn't SLOUGH. He held high head
and kept a stiff upper lip. And instead
Of worrying over that one mistake,
as most fellows would have done, he
profted by his experience and let it
stand as a warning His game i'm
proved. He was a far better first base
man in 1909 than in 1908; far better
still in 1910. l take off my hat to
Merkle. He's the proper stuff. He'll
be better still in 1913"
Tom Lynch comes pretty near to
knowing what he is talking about be-
fore he ever expresses himself. 1t is
very doubtful if there is first base
man in the game more valuable than
Fred Merkle. There are flasher play
ers, Hal Chase and Jack Daubert pos
sessing more natural advantages In
that they throw left-handed, appear a
bit more graceful, perhaps.
Yet it is doubtful if either has any
thing on the Giant as fielder. Merkle
is not snowy. But he is wonderfully
sure and as expert in making pick
ups off mean Founders as even the
great Chase. He covers as much
ground as Hal, is as skilful base
runner and a more dangerous hitter.
He is a tribe less agile and cannot go
so high for strong-arm pegs, nor is
he so dexterous with the mitt hand
Yet Merkle is the only right-handed
first baseman who can break up sac
rifice hit play almost as cunningly as
either Chase or Daubert.
No one versed in baseball will deny
that Merkle ranks among the first
three of basebalTs first base guard
ians. That is an honor, indeed, for
youngster that the fans were trying
to hound back to the brush four short
summers ago. But then he was I'M
fortunate; simply the victim of cir
cumstances. Had Mike Donlin, Arthur
Devlin or the great Matty been on
first when AL Bridwell knocked out
the clean single that should have won
the game little would have been
thought of the veterans oversight.
The fact that it was a recruit gave
the knockers a chance. Or if New
York had won the playoff with the
Cubs, as they should, Merkle's lot
would not have been so hard in 1909.

REFUSED TO ACCEPT sNuB
Napoleon III. KeenIy Felt Slight of
Russian Czar, but Refused to
Show His Annoyance.

1t has been urged by a French au-
thor that Napoleon III. entered into
the Crimean war on the side of Great
Britain because he had been well re-
ceived in the London clubs during his
sojourn in that country. But there
might have been another potent factor
Independent of the emperor's pleasant
recollections of the English and that
was the slight to which he was sub
iected BIZ the car of Russia, Mich
olas l.
When Napoleon assembled the throne
as emperor he notified all the reigning
sovereigns of the fact, addressing
them as Monsieur mon frere." With
the exception of the car they replied,
adopting the same formula. Nicholas,
however, began his reply Mon grand
ami" This is the style adopted by
sovereigns when addressing presi-
dents of republics Napoleon fully un-
derstood the cars meaning.
At the New Years reception of the
diplomatic boldly he went up to Count
Kisslew, the Russian ambassador, and
said to him:
81 have received a letter from your
covereign which hatters me greatly.
He writes to me, Mon grand ami One
chooses his friends. He cannot choose
his brothers.

Russian Empress Favorite.

"Stories abound of the luxury pre-
vailing at the military headquarters
of Prince Potemkin, one of GATHERINGS
favorites. His establishment included
five or six hundred domestic servants,
a troup of actors, and twenty jewel
ers. Conceiving the desire to see the
'tzigane' danced, and being informed
that two officers in the army OF the
Caucasus danced it particularly well,
he summoned them-a whole week $
iourney-in order to give their per-
Torrance, and recompensed them for
their foolery by promoting them to
field rank. There were fetes given
at his headquarters, at which every
one of the two hundred ladies present
was given a costly shawl, and invited
to help herself from crystal goblet
filed with diamonds. He hard
w ever mounted a horse, but, when
he visited the lines, drove round them
in a carriage; and there is a story
of his having sent an indignant mes
sage to the general commanding the
artillery to inquire what he meant by
making such disgusting noise with
his guns."-The Comedy OF Catherine
the Great, by Francis Gribble.

wv HE strangle hold is a discarded
relic of the early ages OF
wrestling. 1t Is rightfully barred
from championship matches, but
still may be an effective means of de-
Tense in handling bully or saving
ones life in personal encounter with
a robber or murderer.
Il won my first professional match

THAT was before had met either

strangle hold. / was quicker than
Green and won three straight falls in
about an hour of hard work, taking all

''The strangle hold was common
grip in those days. One professional,
Evan Lewis, probably developed the
hold to it's highest efficiency. He made
worldwide reputation for winning
matches with it and was known far
and wide as Stranger Lewis.
"It is the most dangerous grip in
wrestling, and yet the old timers used
to employ it quite often. In my match
with Tom Jenkins at Bellingham,
Wash, when 1 won the American
championship, he put strangle hold
on me after I had won the first fall.

years, Jenkins charged at me furious
ly in the second bout and in a mix-up
worked himself behind me- He slip
ped his left forearm under my chin
and bore the weight of his right arm
against the top of my head, tightening
his grip and completing strangle
hold, from which it would have been
impossible for weak man to escape.
There is only one way in which
to break this hold, and one cannot
linger, as delay may prove fatal.
That is to employ both hands in
grasping the aggressor's left member
and below the elbow, and thus lessen
ing the heavy pressure on the Adams
apple. If one possesses great strength
it is possible to break the hold. / en-
ployed this method in escaping from
Jenkins. He was too weak to hold
me. 1t was his last hope of retaining
the championship, and he tried it too
late to succeed.
Although the strangle hold is
barred nowadays, it is used more or
less in many matches. Wrestlers get
it when attempting to obtain other
holds, sometimes by mistake. It
weakens an opponent, and if continued
might prove fatal. Jenkins was warn
ed against the hold in nearly every
match with me. Sometimes he secur-
ed the grip Internationally.
Farmer Burns is one wrestler who
was practically immune from the stran-
gle hold. This was due to the wonder
full development of the muscles of his
neck. The Farmer defeated Stran-
gler Lewis for the American champion
ship in 1895. Lewis bumped into trou-
BILE when he tried to choke that old
chap into submission.

REASON THE DOUGH soURs
Uncleanliness in the Making or the
Utensils Is One of Prin-
cipal Causes.

There are two reasons why bread
sours One is because the process OF
making or the utensils have been I'M
clean, or else the dough has been al
lowed to stand too long before being
made into loaves. If milk is used 1t
should be scalded and allowed to cool.
Raw milk should not be used in
breadmaking.,
Surprising it is inconvenient to mold
the loaves just at the time it is be-
lieved the dough is ready, it is a good
plan to knead it in the pan again for
few minutes.
This prevents souring, and the
dough, if only lightly kneaded, will
soon rise again. 1t should then be
put into the baking pans as quickly
as possible.

WOOD AFTER ANOTHER FLAG
Smoky joe" Pitching Hero of 1912
Season, viii Try to Beat Last
Years Record.

Joe Wood, the pitching star of the
Boston Red Sox last year, will have a
great deal to say as to whether or not
the Red Sox will be able to capture
another pennant. Connie Mack, OF
the Athletics, is determined that his
team will be in the fight from the
start this year and will not allow the
Sox to slip anything over on him like
they did last season.
Joe Wood was the hero par excel
lence of the Boston tribe in 1912
Before the season started he was
known as a fairly good performer
with the gloves. When the season
ended he was the most-talked-of ball
player in the country. Joe hung UP
record in the box that made the
