ROLE
IS IMPORTANT
To BALL CLUBS
BY Jack Law.

II hasn't been many years ago that
ball clubs would go through the
season with about fifteen men,
but the game has advanced to such
an extent that substitutes are carried
for almost an positions Some clubs
carry man for no other purpose than
20 step TO the plate in a pinch and
hit for some weaker hitter
Clubs i'm the Southern League can
not afford to carry 80 many men. but
the past history Of the league shows
that the clubs who won pennants IN
the Southern League were always che
possessors Of a good utility man. OF
course, some clubs seem to be PEE
cuiiarly fortunate i'm having their
players go through the season with
out injury. but when a club is forti-
fled by having q good utility man the
Gripping of a regular player is not
such a misfortune.
Handy Andy Aids Barons.
Last season the Birmingham CLUB,
which won the pennant in this league,
had on the pay roll d player named
Carroll. secured from the Carolina
Association. Carroll enacted the role
Of utility man for the Birmingham
,lub, playing both the In and Quilted
and was quite q factor in their sue
cess, although the BaTous last year
were extraordinarily free from accI-
dents
The two preceding years the New

had two exceptionally good utility
men iu Hyder Barr and George Robe.

POLISHED FLOOR NEEDS CARE
Methods BY Which II May BE Made

The hrst step In polishing Q soft
wood floor is to see that it Is perfect

already painted or vanished the
stains should be removed with strong
when all cracks and dents should be
closed with putty and filler" applied
all over. This can be purchased at
most oil and varnish shops. and should
either be mixed with little color or
sufficient quantity Of floor stain
should be added. The filler should be
put on with nat brush or piece of
cloth and worked in one direction
with the grain Of tho wood. while on
completion Of the process the room
should be closed for "a hours. At the
end Of that time the boards should be
rubbed until they shine. with long
handled, heavy weighted broom. over
which piece OF carpet has been
tackled. and this process may be re-
peated ad libitum. Finally the floor
may be polished with boiled linseed
oil and turpentine, this mixture being
rubbed we'll in with a cloth and then
left for an hour or two to dry. after
which It must be again polished with
the weighted brush.
Instead Of q final touch Of this de-
scrtption, the floor may be finished
with q coat Of varnish or shellac or
with some prepared hardwood treat
ment. both Of which should be put on
evenly and thinly with a weighted
brush or with an old piece Of carpet.
In order to keep the floor at its
best after the polishing process has
been completed, it should never be
washed with water, but after all the
dust has been removed crude petro-
leum should be rubbed In and left to
dry.
