The accident to which Kramer is
heir to is not an unusual one. Two
years ago Joe McGinnity, the presi-
dent. manager and part owner of the
Newark Club, suffered a similar fate.
McGinnity received his injury at the
bah park before the season opened,
and it was a big handicap to him.
Another thing, as a pitcher, McGin-
nity's right hand was very essential
to him. With Kramer, it is different
although the hand plays an i'm
portant part in the cycling game.
Kramer will, no doubt, be bothered

Strange how many angles the one
situation is viewed from sometimes.
Take the controversy over the game
between the Phillies and the Giants.
Some pretty wise fans will tell you
that Umpire Brennan made his ia
sufficient gossip to attract attention
to him as just the umpire for the
worlds series. Maybe yes and maybe
no. Brennan. no doubt, made the
decision because the conditions called
for action. He displayed great cour-
age and should be given full credit
for his honesty, even If his Judgment
can be questioned. He proved him
self a bigger man than President
Lynch, and his judgment seems to
be better all around. Lynch. in CIV
ing the game to the Phillies by the
score of to 6, hasn't a thing to
stand on, and to make sure that he
was well aware of the fact, he an
nouneed, along with the decision, that
he had waived all precedent" Though
Umpire Brennan gave the game to
the Giants. 9 to 0, he had previous
decisions to stand upon, even if the
cases in point were somewhat differ
ent. To order spectators off the field
is one thing, and to order them out
of seats. of course, is another thing,
but when Brennan stated in his sub
mitted report that neither he nor the
catcher could see the balls pitched
because of the waving of arms and
handkerchiefs in the centre field

HIS PERFECT LIKENESS.
A snuffbox, q Portrait and a Much
Surprised Monarch.

A snuffbox, a Portrait and a Much
Surprised Monarch.
It is related of Frederick H., king
of Prussia, that he one day made a
present of a golden snuffbox to one
of his counts. When the latter
opened the lid he found the picture
of an ass painted upon the under
side of it. Though he scarcely rel
ished the kings joke, he said moth
ing at the time, but as soon as he
quilted the kings presence he sent
one of his Wallets with the snuffbox
to the city and gave him instruc-
tons that the picture Of the ass
was to be painted out and portrait
of the king put in it's place.
A few days later distinguished
company dined with the king. The
count was one of the guests, and
after a time he produced his snuff
box and pretended to examine it
with the air of man who was proud
to have received such a gift from
the king. The latter, wishing to en-
Joy little amusement at the counts
expense, mentioned to the Duchess
of Brunswick that he had made a
present of the box to the count on
the preceding day. She desired to
inspect it, and when the box was
handed to her she opened the lid
and, looking inside, cried in rap
lures: Perfect! The likeness is
charming! 1t is one of the best
portraits of you that ! have ever
seen!
She handed the box to the per-
son next to her, who was equally
charmed with the likeness. From
one to another the box was passed,
and all testified to the excellent re-
semblance which the picture bore to
the king. The king, thinking that
the ass head was still to be seen on
the snuffbox, felt exceedingly en-
barrassed and scarcely knew what
to make of theincident, but at last
the snuffbox, having made the tour
of the table, came to his hands, and
the first glance showed him how
cleverly the count had anticipated
his little joke and turned it against
him.

A Nice Calculation.

A Flemish gentleman conceived
the idea that he would only live a
certain time, so he made nice cal
culation of his fortune, which he
so apportioned as to last just the
same period as he guessed his life
would extend to. Strangely enough,
his calculations came correct to the
letter, for he died punctually at the
time he had previously reckoned.
He had so far exhausted his estate
that after his debts had been dis
charged solitary pair Of slippers
represented the entire property he
left. His relatives buried him, and
a representation of the slippers was
carved on the tomb. Today in a
churchyard at Amsterdam his grave
may be seen, the only inscription on
the stone being two Flemish words,
"Effen Nyt" Il. e., 'Exactly'').
