An Odd Baseball Play.

President Tim Murnane of the New
England league has made decision on
an odd play in settling disputed game
between Portland and New Bedford
President Murnane overruled his um-
pire on the play and awarded the game
to Portland. which would have won it
otherwise. Murnane's decision eX-
plains the disputed play as follows:
Zone man was out and one man was
on third base when a fly was knocked
to the outfeld, which was juggled by
one outfielder and caught by another
The umpire allowed a double play aft
er the ball had been relayed to third
because the runner left the base after
the ball left the first mans hands. The
umpire should have allowed the run, as
the runner was entitled to leave the
base the moment the ball touched the
felder's hands, whether held, muffed
or juggled. This run would have won
the game and prevented it from going
an extra inning. Accordingly the pro-
test is allowed and the game awarded
to Portland"

Resistance to the Sun.

Animals whose capacity for thermal
regulation is limited, such as rabbits
and monkeys, rapidly succumb to ex-
posure to the tropical sun. In the
same circumstances the skin Of man
rises some or 4 degrees @. above the
normal. Theoretically the black skin
of negro races should absorb more hef
than that of the white people. How
ever, colored races are better able than
the white to regulate their temperature
under the influence Of the tropical sun
perhaps because perspiration is more
abundant The ape, although a native
Of the tropics, is less capable Of resist
ing the sun than other animals and
even the white man. This is no doubt
attributable to the fact that its natural
home is in the forests. For certain
monkeys two hours of exposure to the
tropical sun is fatal.

K. o. Brown GOING Back.

1t was only the semblance of the old
Knockout Brown who fought against
Danny Ridge in the Atlantic Garden in
New York city recently. The once re-
Howned Knockout" just about held
his own against the east side light
weight and failed to show the speed,
aggressiveness and power that made
him a championship contender only a
year ago. He was a great deal off on
judgment of distance and did not quite
show the fondness for mixing it up
that one time characterized his style.
A whirlwind start and an equally
fast finish gave Ridge an even break
with his more famed opponent.

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Number Puzzle.

Ask a friend to think of two. three
or more numbers. none of which must
exceed nine. and you will tell him the
numbers thought of. If he thinks of
two numbers double the first and add
1 to the product. multiply the whole
by and add to that product the sec
ond number If there be a third make
him double the first sum and add to
it; then desire him to multiply the new
sum by and to add to it the third
number. If there should be a fourth
number you must proceed in the same
manner, desiring him to double the
preceding sum. to add l to it, to null
tiply by 3, and then to add the fourth
number, and so on; then ask the num-
Der arising from the addition of the
last number thought of. and if there
were two numbers subtract from it;
if three, 90: if four, 500. and so on, for
the remainder will be composed Of
figures, of which the first on the left
will be the first number thought of,

De Wint's Clever Ruse That Sold One
of His Paintings.

De Wint's Clever Ruse That Sold One
of His Paintings.
Peter De Whit, the English land
scape painter, was accustomed each
year to have a semi-private show Of
his pictures before sending them to the
Water Color society's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which, Of course, ap-
peared at the public exhibition marked
Sold"
Among the painters friends was a
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
patron of art and at the same time
keep his money. He managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold. He was always a bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him
most, and having seen them, as he was
wont to declare, he could never content
himself with less beautiful works.
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity, and when the next show day
came round he concluded to test him.
After plenty of time had been allowed
for De Wint's friends to make their
purchases the rich man arrived. Al
usual, his eye soon fell on two per
feet gems" marked sold" Turning to
the artist, he said: "Now, De Whit,
those are exactly the things / should
like to possess. What pity they are
not to be had"

WARREN, RIGHT TACKLE.

One of the particular blue ribbon
events Of the football season will of
course be the annual battles between
Yale, Princeton and Harvard.
The Yale line is calculated to be one
of the best in the country this year
and is depended on to stop the heavy
Harvard backs and the speedy Prince

Warren, at right tackle, is one of the
Yale line men that can always be de-
pended on to do strong defense work.

Football Players Must Study Also.

That the Princeton faculty will show
no partiality to athletes was demon
strated again recently when it was
definitely learned that L. 81. Boland
was ineligible for this years football
eleven. Boland has an enviable grid
iron reputation, and on him the Tiger
supporters were pinning large part of
their hopes. He is a quarterback and
field general Of exceptional ability.
and he is a past master in the art of
kicking and forward passing. He en-
tered Princeton last fall.

Game of Cobbler.

The players form a circle around
one of their number, who personates
the cobbler and for whom a stool is
provided, on which he takes his seat,
saying, as he goes in mimicry through
the operations of his trade: Come,
ladies and gentlemen, come and let
me try on your shoes~ to which the
band reply by dancing round him as
quickly as possible, singing, 'Try.
tryp' The cobbler, without moving
from his seat, strives to seize one of
the dancers-a girl by her dress or
sash, boy by his leg-and, if he sue
ceeds, becomes master and remains
idle in the middle of the circle, while
his prisoner pays forfeit and becomes
cobbler. ~~~ 4

Too many parents take the Puritan
attitude toward their children-that If
they do well in whatever task is as
signed them it is no more than they
ought to do, while if they do Ill they
should be upbraided for it. This may
work well with some boys and girls,
but the more sensible plan would seem
to be to give a cordial word Of appre-
citation for work well done. 1t will do
the recipient good and in most cases
WIN also serve to develop the sympa-
thies and sensibilities of the one who

probation. So do boys and girls.

Do YOU ENJOY EATING'.
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare tbat the reason
stomach disorders are. so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together,
John Lind, Of onAonta, II. Y, says:
SCI have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that I could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get Any relief. Since taking
two bottles Of ViHel / hRd that it has
already made remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion Is
much stronger, and I have gained in
weight.
Yinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.

HERE IS CURE FOB INSOMNIA.
Wrap q Wet BaRdage Around the Leg
to Draw BlOd From the Head,
Says a Physician.

A curious cure for sleeplessness
has recently been reported. A piece
of calico. about Is inches wide and
. 3-4 yards long is rolled up like a
bandage, and third of it wrung out
of cold water. The leg is then ban
daged with this, the wet parts being
carefully covered by several layers
of the dry part, as we'll as by layer
of gutta percha tissue, and a stock
ing drawn on over the whole.
This causes dilation of the vessels
of the leg. thus diminishing the
blood in the head anu producing
sleep. 1t has been found by Winter
mite that the temperature in the ear
passage begins to fall a quarter OF
an hour after the application of the
bandage, the decrease amounting to
O.4 degrees c., and the normal not
being again reached for from 1 1-2 to
two hours afterwards.
The writer has employed this
means of producing sleep for cou-
pie of years and finds it especially
useful in cases where there is con-
gestion of the brain. Sometimes ne
has found it necessary to reapply
the bandage every three or four hours,
as it dried.-Family Doctor.
