the field Up to the time Of his retire.
ment he was among the best outfielders
in the game. rated solely from the stand
point of fielding. In the All-Star Ma
tional league teams named in "Spalding' s
Guide" for the five-year periods between
1900-lSO5 and 19O5-191O, Clarke got the call
each time for left field He was rated
for his ability to play the batsman," and
he could cover ground and throw with the
best of them.
Record Hard to Understand.
HIS fielding records while with the
Louisville club are difficult to under
stand in view of the great difference be-
tween these marks and his Pittsburgh
figures. Different scoring methods may
have caused the difference. In four of the
five campaigns at Louisville for which
figures are available Clarke made great
records for assists and remarkably poor
in error-making, generally showing more
errors than assists.
The winter between the seasons of 1911
and 1912 Clarke announced that he was
through with base ball. The remark was
not taken seriously, as Clarke had just
completed a most successful year as a
fielder and batsman. He made several
wagers that he would not take part in a
game during the season of 1912, and he
won them all, refusing to go in even as
pinch hitter. Since that time he has
gone in a few times to pinch hit" but
has been too inactive as player to be
included in the playing records.
Career Started in 1902.
The base ball career of the Pirate chief
tain dates back to 1892. when he Joined
the Hastings, Neb. team at the age of 10.
He finished that season with the st. Jo-
seph (Mo) Independents and the follow
ing spring he Joined the st. Joseph team
OF the Kansas State league. In midsea-
son OF 1898 he went to the Montgomery,
Ala, team of the Southern league. For
the first two months of the season of 1894
he was with the Savannah, Ga, team and
then he was purchased by Louisville, at
that time in the National league. Since
June. 1894, Clarke has been a prominent
figure in the National league.

HUBBY WOULDN'T STAY HOME
SO She BURNS HIS CLOTHES
STRENUoUSNLIFE NOT TO HIS
LIKING so HE MANAGES
TO DISAPPEAR,

IL you want TO keep your husband
home OF nights, burn his clothes. This
was the happy solution to a vexing
woman thought out. However, her
first experiment proved anything but
effective. Where before she had
husband at odd times, she now has
none at all, at least none that tarries
by her side.
The woman is Mrs. Florence Mcln-
tyre that was, Mrs. Cal Davis that is.
The scene of their domestic vicissi-
tudes is laid in walla Walla whittier
they went soon after the woman se-
cured a divorce from her former
husband who is now in Georgia
prison. Davis was well known
butcher here and he had decided to
marry Florence. However the terms
of the decree prevented the woman
from marrying within six months SO
they lived together unconventionlaly
until the time limit expired.
BY the time six months had pass
ed. Davis decided that he had made
clear of the matrimonial license bu-
reau. This aroused the ire of his af-
finity who is somewhat militant by
nature. She called at saloon in
Walla Walla about three weeks ago
where her husband was and summon
ed him forth. He came but showed
an inclination to go. Whereupon,
Florence smote him in the neck with
knife and carved him up right
bloodily. They took her to jail and
him to hospital and in due time
both decided they had better be mar
ried at once.
They were, but Davis could not
content himself at home of evenings.
The lure of the bright lights called
him forth. About ten days ago he
came not home for supper and barely
arrived next morning for breakfast.
His frau let him eat in peace and
then let him go to bed. once he fell
all of his clothes from his necktie to
his shoes, carried them into the back
yard and burned them even to the
last shred.
The immediate aftermath has not
been told here. However, It Is known
that soon after Davis became rehabil.
ated ho disappeared and his wife is q
widow In fact but not In name. AL
OF this information is continued In q
letter from County Attorney NJ. A

torney who procured Florence hel
