Crackers Might Take on Street

CABBY looked to us like the best
catcher in the Southern League
last season. The manner in which he
handled the big Pole showed that he
retained much of the stamina that
kept him up under w. Johnson's fire
Coveleskie is no spring chicken for
tenderness when it comes to delivery.
good many fans unjustly and un-
wisely criticised Gabby's fancy style
of taking a pitched ball, especially
with men on bases. They seemed to
think he was Showing Off AS a
matter of fact, that odd little flip of
the mitt enables Gabby to absorb a.
fast one with no particular jar to his
hands or position: and that bit of a
crow hop puts him in position to peg
as he takes the pitch
Gabby is a mighty stylish catcher,
especially in Glass A company.
A LSO, Gabby is d pretty fair hitter
"a and has a good head, which he
uses freely. And he is a veteran of
much experience.
In fact. we don't get II. Harry's
idea in wanting TO let Gabby go. That,
however, is entirely none of our biz
Only, there can be no harm in eX-
pressing the wish that, If Chapman
takes the long jump, b. Smith might
get Mr. Street to fill his shoes.

Attorneys Declare
Reserve Clause Legal

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The present
legal status of the war between or
ganized baseball and the Federal
League was discussed at a confer
ence held here yesterday at the Ma
tional League offices. The meeting
was attended by Attorney General
John c. Bell, Of Pennsylvania, per-
sonal counsel for Governor John h.
Tener, president of the National
League; John A. Heydler, secretary
of the league, and Leroy Reeves, sec
rotary to President Tener.
The legality of the old and new
forms of National League contracts
was threshed out. Mr.. Toole drew up
the new contract two years ago, and
Mr.. Bell expressed his opinion that
the clause by which a player Is paid
% per cent of his salary as an option
on his services the following year
would hold in any court.
Both lawyers declared the reserve
clause was legal and constitutional

steam behind them. The men had the

progressed until the sixteenth round,
when he came on again.

DRETTY nearly at the same time
we hear of two things, as fol-
lows:
% That Chapman has decided to
jump from Billy Smiths fold to the
Federal League
90 That Moose Mccormick, up in
Chattanooga, wants to sell or trade
Gabby Street.
Granting that both these reports
are true, the whole business-or at
least Clause appears to be provi-
Dental.
THERE'S no denying the Chapman
man matter looks pretty gloomy.
Bill Smith admits that if Chappy
means to play with the Crackers in
1914, he is taking a funny way Of
showing it.
AS to Handsome Harry and his al
legged desire to swap, trade, sell or
otherwise dispose of G. Street. we
can't understand why he should have
to advertise this piece of property
very extensively without finding
market.
Breaking it gently, we wouldn't
mind seeing Gabby in a Cracker uni
form next spring granting that

"Whaddye mean. pass two?" de-

Longevity Due to Onions.

Onions are the cause of the good
health and long life of the French peo-
ple," remarked Oliver Holmes of New
York, an American who has lived in
Paris for many years, at the Shore
ham. II have tried to study the French
people in the years I have lived among
them, and 1 have come to the conclu-
sion that the strong-smelling onion is
the cause of their good health. The
French live out of doors as much as
they can. They take their meals on
verandas and in the gardens when
ever the weather'is favorable, and al
ways seek the fresh air IN the day
time. At night they retire to their
rooms, close their windows, and sleep
in apartments where there Is no air.
It is contrary of course, to the Eng
lish and American idea, but no one
can deny that the Frenchmans ordinar-
lily is a healthy person.

turned at the edge, whisk away to

Suddenly the dusky form of the

mesmeric motions of the hands, al

NEW HOG HOUSE.

For a number of years the we'll
known A-shaped Lovejoy portable
house has been largely in use at the
Maryland Experiment Station. This
type of house, has not been found al
together satisfactory since the earth
yard attached to the house became too
quickly an unhealthy mire or wallow,
especially in muddy weather, condi-
tion far from comfortable to even a
hog. In addition the hogs were con-
tinually breaking down the wire fenc-
ing, enclosing the yard, making condi-
tons more unsatisfactory.
To do away with these troubles the
Experiment Station recently built a
new hog house largely of cement con-
struction which will care for fifty
shoats or 6 to 10 brood sows and 10
dry sows or shoats. The building is
SO feet long, which includes feed
room and manure pit at opposite
ends. There are eight pens in ALL
six of which are 6 by s, built to ac-
commodate brood sow or if neces-
sary two. The remaining two pens
are by 10 feet and are used as fatten-
ing pens or for dry sows.

mo PLACE FOR THE LoAFER
Banished From Every Branch of In!
dustry to Make Way for the Man
Who Is Willing.

The Boston Globe has this heading
over long editorial: Farm No Place
for the Loafer."
The editorial goes on to prove the
statement made in this heading.
But it needs no proof. 1t is axio-
matte. The farm is place where in
dustry and intelligence and persistent
application yield big dividends, and
where laziness and ignorance fail.
But where is there a place for the
loafer?
Not in school-because there, as
elsewhere, energy and application win
the victors laurels.
Not in the off1ce-for there the hus-
tier wins promotion and the loafer
gets kicked out because he is in the
way.
Not in the shop-for there the
steady, faithful, thinking worker gets
the best wages and the foremanships
and superintendencies.
Not in the store-for there those
who study the goods and the business
and strive to please patrons win the
honors and the rewards.
Not in the law, or in medicine, or in
the ministry, or in the school faculty,
or on the newspaper-for there, as
elsewhere, the loafer soon finds his
level, which Is the nearest exit.
Then there is there a place for the
loafer?
The grave, perhaps; there isn't
much going on there but resting
maybe that's the loafer's place. No
other occurs to US at this moment
