FIRST HOME RUN OFF MATTY
"Wee Willie" sudhoff Turned the
Trick at the Polo Grounds, but
Did Not Win His Game.
one dav two young hurlers were a

One day two young hurlers were o.
gagged in a regular pitchers battle.
They were both right-handed, but that
ended the resemblance. One was over
six feet tall, the other was tive feet
and about two inches over.
On June 81, 1901, at the Polo
grounds, the home of the New York
Giants. these two hurfers battled for
five innings without allowing a run. In
the sixth the visitors managed to get
a man on with their midget hurler up,
the little chap who had been
pitching his head of and come in from
his task with the sweat streaming
down his face.
Brushing out his eyes with his fists.
he picked up his little bat and walked
up to the plate. The big pitcher
smiled a rather. plying smile, but
didn't let up on his speed. He flashed
the ball through with all the stuff he
had. and the little fellow swung at
It with all the stuff he had-and his
teammates declare with his eyes shut.
However, an awful crack followed, and
the ball sped away beyond any field

around the bases, chasing the other
fellow in.
When he reached the home plate he
paused and posed for moment. then
drew himself up to his full height

Ereak of the Bean Ball.

II it hadn't been for q rap on the
head by pitched ball some two years
or so ago, Miles Main, the young pitch
err who suffered his first defeat Of the
season against the Red Sox, might
have been a partner of Carrigan' 8
star wonder workers, Leonard and
Foster. says Boston writer. Main
was at Jersey City when that club
was the Red Sox farm, and in the
natural course of events would prob
ably hove come this way. However,
after he was hit on the head his work
fell off and he was traded to Buffalo,
where he achieved even better results
than when on the Sox farm. The
bean ball works some queer changes
in baseball.

DRAGON ALWAYS A SYMBOL
IN All Comparatively Modern History
It Has Figured in Some
Manner.

There has always been a good deal
hat is mythical about the dragon,
though biologists tell US the skele-
IONS of snakes lend some credence
TO the notion of flying serpents.
Usually in literature the dragon is
associated with the author of all evil,
the devil. The ancient banner of the
British kings bore the device of a
dragon, and the leader of the others
In war was termed the pendragon.
Before the conversion of the Emperor
Constantine, the old Labarum or
standard of the Roman army bore a
bronze dragon and the bearer of the
Roman standard, even after a cross
replaced the dragon, was styled a
"draconarius," or dragon bearer. Ac-
cording TO the teaching of the Greek
Catholic church-Greece has the
same national saint as Great Britain
st. George is to be described as
ttropaiophoros" or standard bearer
Tin Creek. In old church windows
and pictures st. George is commonly
depicted with a standard. He would
therefore bear the Latin title of dra.
gon-man, or dragon-bearer, and the
legend would easily spring into be-
ing, of his encounter with a dragon.
Still there is "Sir Bevis" and Spen.
ser's 'laidly worm" to be reckoned
with, and it might upset heraldry to
some extent if we altogether disposed
of st. Georges dragon In so prosaic
manner as is here suggested

The Feds may not be offering as
good sample of the national pastlme
as the American and National leagues,
but there is one individual enrolled
with an outlaw team who doffs his cap
to no one. His specially is hitting,
and in that respect he equals any of
the famous sluggers in the other cir
cult. not even excepting Ty Cobb OF
the Tigers.
This particular player is in our
midst today, and is member of Bill
Phillips Hoofeds. His name Is Kauff,
Benny Kauff.
Russell Ford, star hurler of the Buff
feds, and at one time a member of
the New York Yanks, is authority for
the above statement. Rus words may

Flour Weevil.

Sometimes weevils and so-callec
bugs fourd by a housekeeper in heI
-four are there because of carelessness
in keeping the flour bins clean. Gen
orally, however, these pests come
from the mill from which the flour OF
meal was purchased. To avoid criti
cism In this connection, millers should
not only practise the greatest care
in keeping the mills clean, but resort
occasionally to fumigation. Hydro
cyanic acid is the best agent for this
purpose, since it in no way Injuries dry
mill products of any kind, and the fact
that it is extremely poisonous makes
one very careful in handling it.

LONE SPECTATOR WAS READY
Umpire Hart Relates Peculiar Expert
ence in Western League-Bleach-
critic Was "Ali Set"

William Hart, the new umpire in the
National league, who is making good
in fine fashion, has been identi'
fed with baseball more than 80 years.
Until recently he still was able to
pitch, and in his day he was one of
the best twirlers in the business.
This Is not Harris first experience
as an umpire. Several years ago he
umpired In the old Western league for
a season and then went back to
pitching again. The veteran is full
of queer stories Of his experiences.
Recently he told this one on himself:
"One day when / was umpiring In
the Western league l got to Kansas
City. The club had been going poor
ly, and when the game time came
around there were only eight specta-
tors in the grand stand and one man
sitting in the bleachers. He had an
umbrella over him, for the day was
sitting hot.
when 1t came time to announce
the batteries, announced them to the
eight patrons in the grand stand, and
then / thought I would make the an
nouncement to the bleachers. So !
walked down to where the solitary
bleacherite was sitting, and, taking
off my cap, yelled:
Ladies and gentlemen: The bat.
teries for today are White and Black
for Kansas City, Green and Brown for
Omaha!'
"rThe one lone bleacherite made q
gcsture with his arm and replied:
I'm ready. 60 on with the game "

A FTER all, blue and black divide be-
"A tween themselves the distinction
of being the most elegant of colors
for an afternoon gown, and therefore
they form the choice of majority OF
women who find one really good Wis
iting gown a season sufficient for their
needs. And visiting gown" is to be
construed as meaning gown in which
to call or to receive calls The deep,
clear shades of blue-"true blue"-are
becoming to every complexion.
A stunning afternoon gown is shown
here from a French designer who
keeps to conservative and refined
STYLES. 1t is cleverly planned to add
the effect of slenderness and height
to the figure. The waist line at the
back is normal and downward dip
of the belt at the front makes the
waist look small.
The drapery in the skirt is placed
very low and the material hangs with
out fitness over the hips. All the
sharp curves which characterize the
stout figure are softened in this model.
The two graduated and shaped
fiounces are splendidly effective for
this purpose and also take the place
of the much-admired tunic.
The bodice Is slightly bloused and
very plain, as it should be to carry
off the vest of handsome brocade.
This vest is the feature of the gown
and is to be more or less gorgeous,
not too tame in any case. For bit
of real finery, touch of splendor, is

AS it has been some time

Corn husking is over, and the
yield was fairly good, making an
average of from 40 to 60 bushels
per acre. Corn on my place
averaged S. bushels per acre,
and on H. D. Cruisers place so
bushels per acre, so you see that
was not bad for this year con-
sidering the dryness of the sea-
son. Oats made from 45 to 65
bushels per acre and wheat from
Is to 40 bushels to the acre.
This was a remarkable fall

er saw. Seven weeks of as nice

AS we glance over the pages
