Castro Downs Ball

But the most monumental blunders
ever made by Southern league man
ayers are lodged against William A.
Smith, leader of the Atlanta Crackers.
In 1896 Birmingham secured from
Nashville-following an injury which
put Oyler. the local shortstop, out of
business-a young venezielan named
Castro. At the conclusion of that sea-
son he went back to Nashville, and in
the following spring reported to At
lanta. Smith, at this time, had a
youngster on his team called Neal
Ball. Ball and Castro fought spirited
battle for the position of shortstop.
The manager finally decided that Cas-
tro had decided edge, and proceeded
to dispose of Ball. Montgomery
grabbed him. By the conclusion of
the season the general verdict was
that Ball stood head and shoulders
over any other infielder in the league
Next season he was found in the big
show, where he remained for many
seasons. Castro, at the conclusion of
the years play, retired from baseball.

And this season Rube Evans proved
a failure in New Orleans. He came to
Birmingham and has made good. He
promises to be better and better day
by day, and it is predicted that his
record when the harvest shall have
been gathered will be entirely worthy
Molesworth has made mistakes, also,
if such mistakes are to be charged
against a manager. In the season of
1911, as is remembered, he tried out a
youngster named Midkiff. He was
found wanting and sent to the Texas
league. He starred and is now a reg
ular on the team of the New York
Americans. And, in the same season,
Berghammer was brought to Birming-
ham. He gave every appearance of
being a lemon and there was
chorus of general approbatio when he
was shipped" He is now playing an

rung of the ladder.
In casting your eye over a box
score in The Age -Herald-the box
scores are seldom printed elsewhere
you frequently reach a conclusion that
this or that shortstop is making more
than his share of errors. 1t would be
unwise, however, to determine right
there on the spot, without further in
vestigation, that the shortstop is I'm
worthy. He may be one of that Pc
culiar brand of bah players which goes
after everything, caring little for his
own record in comparison with his re-
gard for the team and hope for the
success of the team.
And likewise it is with managers.
When you see player cut adrift by

another, don't rush forth with reckless
criticism, Instead, watch the stand

study his system of securing and dis
posing of players. Find out if he is

questioned ability. But he couldn't win
with Birmingham. There was some
reason, probably, but the fact remained
that he couldn't win. He was sent to
Atlanta, and the fans generally ap-
plauded the dismissal, although all of
them were of the opinion that Thomp-
son possessed certain merit. In a
Cracker uniform the young ex-col-
legian began cutting the sphere
through with such marvellous speed,
and decorating Il with such a splendid
assortment of twists that he could
not be beaten. He won four games In
succession and the league was thrilled
by his sterling accomplishments. Since
then, however, Thompson has lost
trio of games, and it yet remains to
be seen whether or not Wordsworth af-

MANY VARIETIES OF FLOWERS
They Arc Found In All Kinds Of Re
eeptaeles In Every Section
Of Capital.

Flowers are planted In many recep
tacles In Washington. but there is NO
use in trying to enumerate them. You
will see many varieties OF flower
boxes and flower urns and flower tubs
as you pass along the residence
streets.
In front of 1915 1 street a sheet
iron cylinder has been converted into
a flower box. or a flower tank. The
cylinder was one of those which may
be seen by the side of furnace. and
its normal function is to hold water,
hot OF cold. That is probably what
this cylinder was used for before its
dedication to Flora. The name of the
foundry or the maker may be seen on
the west end Of the cylinder.
The tank was cut away on one side
and set horizontally with the open
side up supported by a truss made OF
iron pipes crossed like the legs of a
sawhorse. It was filled with good
earth and pretty flowers are blooming
in it now. This very prosaic piece of
junk was ingeniously put to a poetic
use.

HOW SHE RETAINED YOUTH
Great Actress Had Set Of Rules Which
Seem Contrary to General
Belief.

Modjeska, the famous Polish 40
tress, who charmed our mothers and
fathers, retained her youthful looks
and spirit until middle life.
When she was about fifty years old
some one asked her the secret Of
keeping young.
Il take a hot bath every night"
said the actress, "and q long, sound
sleep. Then I eat light breakfast,
hearty dinner at two, tea and bread
at five and supper after the perform
ance. 1 am great believer in soap
and water and plenty Of sleep.
After all, it is none Of these out
side aids that keeps one young. Keep
ing young inside is what counts"
or course some persons would ar
que that a cold bath every morning
and no supper in the middle of the
night would lead to health and
youthful looks. But Modjeska's ad-
vice goes to prove that every woman
must work out a course of life that
agrees with her and then stick to it.
Her occupation and tastes and con-
stitution must all be taken into ac-
count. Then her rule must be form
ulated, tried, corrected and lived up
to.
Youth seemed to be hereditary with
Modjeska. 1t is said that when her
old mother-a simple mountaineer in
Poland-was seyenty-five her children
took her set of wooden underwear
The old lady wore the garments from
morning till night. At night she cried,
and asked to be allowed to take them
OFF,
But they are good for you," said
the children.
But" said the old woman, "if I
wear those woolly things now, what
shall l wear when l am old?"

Clarke at the time he applied If he
didn't have consumption and the lat.
ter was admitted on his assurance
that he had congestion of the lungs.
He died later of consumption. The
testimony at the trial showed that
the plaintiff was unable to rent his
lodgings for a long time because of
Clarke's occupancy, but the defendant
argued that consumption is not an
infectious disease. -Phe court held
that what little authority existed on
the point was entirely in plaintiffs
favor and ruled that since Clarke
falsely represented that he didn't have
consumption he was liable to pay
damages.
