FLOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Simple Methods That Will Keep Them
Alive, Fragrant, and Pleasure
for Many Days.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in
pail of water for a few hours, so that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third, the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living-room, for
they are not used to such tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in pail Of
water. Fourth, cut about quarter OF
an inch off each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water, but it pays. If you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of water-Delineator

JOKE on REALTY SALESMAN

One o. he best stories of the hus-

because it happens to be on him.
This salesman heard of a man who
was anxious TO trade farm for some
city lots. So he jumped into his au-
tomobile, drove to the farm owners
town office and warmly invited him
to come out and look at some fine sub
urban property The prospective buy
er seemed glad of the opportunity and

subdivision in which our hero was in
terested.
half an hour beyond the city limits
the real estate man began to point out
corner lots, prospective paving and
sewer systems, locations for imposing
residences and all that sort of thing.
The city is growing right out this
way, he said. Facts and figures
prove that beyond the possibility of
doubt. In ten years these lots will
be in the most fashionable part of
town and will be worth five times
what they are selling for today. While
your farm wildly the way, where
is your farm located?"

man with mis- hands I have seen on
the ball field in my time He may be
a trifie weak in that position, but then,
again, he will make some plays down
there that right handler can not
make.
Il think that he would be much bet
ter than some of the right handed
second basemen we have in the game
right now. / saw him play that bag
in Philadelphia, and my players said
that they thought he could play any
thing on the ball lot. There have not
been many men who have made sue
cess of playing the infield who have
been left handlers. But then, again.
there have been exceptions think
Chase is one of them. He will shift
with the players, and l think he can
touch base runners.
IF Chance finds that he can play
there is no doubt in my mind that he
will have another good infielder and
will not have to worry about his Sec
ond base trouble. Chance could not
go through the country and pick up a
man who could play as well as Chase
ut second base could be? If Chance
finds that he cannot play, why Chase
could do just as we'll in the outfeld,
but look for him to be the regular
second-sacker."

READY FOR BASEBALL.
Many Leagues Finish Schedules
Making for 1913.
Pacific Coast Players Get Under Way,
With Other Organizations Fol-
lowing CIosely-ApriI 10
is the Big Day.

Schedule making of the nearly two
score of recognized professional base-
ball leagues in the country is COM
plete for the 1913 season with only al
few departures from the general pro7
gram followed last year.
The first pennant race was started
as usual by the Pacific Coast league,
whose season opened April l and
which Is also the last to close-on
Oct. &C. April 10 is the big opening
day of the year, marking not only the
commencement of the two major
league seasons, but those of the
American association, the Texas
league and the Southern league.
The Western league, whose season
opens April 18 and closes Oct. 5, has
voted to retain the 168-game schedule.
which makes three minor leagues now
playing longer schedules than the ma
jor leagues-namely, the Pacific Coast
league, the American association and
the Western league.
Among the changes this year in the
circuits there is the probable shift
of the Fall River (Mass) franchise
to Portland, Me-, in the New England
league; the return Of Waterbury,
Conn, to the old Connecticut league,
which will be called the Eastern. asso-
citation this year, and the addition of
New London and Pittsfeld, with the
loss of New Britain, makes an eight
club circuit. Last year there were
only six teams.
The Central league is considerably
changed, being reduced from twelve
club circuit to one of six cities-Fort
Wayne, Terre Haute and Evansville,
Ind, Dayton and Springfield, O., and
Grand Rapids, Mich. The Tri-state
league includes Atlantic City, N. j.,
and Chester, Pa, this year in place of
Altoona and Johnstown, Pa. The Ohio
State league is reduced to six-club
circuit, of Ironton, Lima, Mansfield,
Chillicothe, Portsmouth and Newark,
Ohio.

the defensive wrestler to the mat.
Since the under wrestler has turned
on his side, the half-nelson may be
affixed and the opponent pinned with
the half-nelson and toe hold or the
toe hold released and the crotch and
half-nelson applied. The toe hold
may be used alone.
while | have won many matches
with the toe hold, it is a mistake to
grip. In fact, have won more
matches with other holds. probably
have won most of my matches with
the half-nelson and crotch, but fear
Of the toe hold has helped in secur-
ing this and other combinations.
II defeated Dinnie in England with
this form of the toe hold. / think
I put the hold on Dinnie more quickly
than on any other opponent / ever
met Dinnie had angered me by con-
tending he was not down in the first
fall, and l gave him another chance.
AS he came toward me l dove for his
legs and put him down. AS he fell
| came down on his right leg and since
he was in the proper position for the
toe hold had his leg and foot trapped
in few seconds. had it on Dinnie
so quick that it made him a convert
to our style of wrestling. He was
one of the best boosters we had in
England after that experience.
II think Hackenschmidt mortally
feared the toe hold in both our
matches. He quit when l went after
the hold in our first match. He plead
ed that he had enough as soon as
secured the grip in our last meeting.
81 doubt the wisdom of barring the
toe hold. Once this grip is under the
ban the game will degenerate in the
direction of the Greco-Roman style,
which at best is only half wrestling.
Then the hammerlock, which is just
AS dangerous, would have to go and
the game would be reduced to a test
of mere brute strength.
Although I have had many wrest-
lers at my mercy with the toe hold,
/ have never injured an opponent
without cause. In 1900 at the Brookes'
casino in Chicago l injured Pardello.

pulled a whole handful of hair from

an opponent with the hammerlock or

a pretty hard question to an
sWer. Farmer Burns and worked out
the problem of the toe hold wrestling
In Iowa. I think | used it first on
Scott Miller in 1902. pulled the foot
over the leg and applied the leverage.
The other toe hold, and the one l en-
ploy the most was worked out
later.
There are several varieties of toe
holds and locks, but the one / use
most and the one which writer's call
the famous toe hold consists of get
ting the opponents foot in wise in
which the toes and ankle are the
points of attack. 1t is often confused
with the toe hold over the leg, but
the two grips are distinct.
ct is important first of all to have
ones opponent in the proper position
to begin the preliminary moves for the
toe hold. When an opponent is on the
mat, suppose the attacker is on the
right side. The wrestler who is the
under dog must be on his hands
and knees for the attacker to make
the shift that traps his opponents
further foot
1.-THE attacker from this position
holds his opponent to the mat by
grasping the right leg high up with
both hands, working well to the side.
With his right hand the attacker
reaches inside the crotch from the
front, grasping his opponents left
ankle With the left hand he grasps
his opponents foot near the toes, al
most simultaneously straddling the
near leg of his opponent and pulling
up on the imprisoned foot. The oppo-
nent's right leg in this way is trapped
and his left foot is "out of commits
sion" When the left leg ha" been i'm
prisoned in this way for few Sec
onds, the muscles relax and the mem
Der becomes powerless. The attacker
then pulls up and may apply the twist
to the toe hold His head may be used
as an instrument of attack in forcing
en- opponents shoulders to the mat.
Since the left leg of the defensive
wrestler has become ineffective by
being imprisoned in this way, the
ankle hold may be released and the
toe hold easily retained. The free
right hand of the attacker then may
be used In forcing the shoulders Of
