SOUTHERN LEAGUE CLUBS MADE RECORD
 FOR SHORTEST GAME

If brevity is wit. as some wise old gfnk once rennarked, the Atlanta base .ball fans must have Iaffed Themselves lost to death four years ago today, Sept 1T, 1el0, when the Atlanta and Mobile clubs of the Southern league set up a brand new record for speedy playing. On that date, in the Georgia IIletropolis. the lads from Alabarn' triuIap he'd over the Crackers in 2 full and complete ntne-fnning contest in exactly thirty two minutes. It was az pitchers battle from start, to hniShs and the Mobile tWirler had the shade, winning the game by 2 score of to Il.
 When Atlanta and Mobile pranced through nine chapters in two minutes over half an hour, they smashed the best previous record by twelve min utes Strangely enough the best time Sbefore then had also been reg1steren on the Atlanta diamond, when in s04. ed off and called it a day after forty. four minutes of toiI. Last year the Giants and Phillfes played 8 Ia in nings in 3 minutes
 The 1904 record ec1ipsed by three minutes one that had stood for twenty years as in 1884, at Dayton, O. the Dayton and Inonton clubs had caused all the baseball world to marvel by going through nine rounds in forty seven minutes flat. This continued to bessthe record for the fastest Baseball time made north Of Mason and Dix on,s line until 1912. when Bin gnan- ton and Albany, of the New r ork state league, playing at Binghamton, COW cred the nine inning route in forty two minutes.
 The fastest time on 9 western dfa- rnond at San Francisco in 1898, when the local club. and the Oakland aggre- gation hustled over the full course Tn ] forty-seven minutes. All of these rec ords except the last named, were hung up during the month of September,
 which would seem to indicate that the speed microbe houris1aes best in the Hate Summer and early Autumn.
 The best time for do1dble-header was made in the Pacific Coast league if 1905, and is one hour and thirty l two and a half minutes. Los Angeles and Oakland were responsible for this

THE STENOGRAPHER.

A woman of much quiet and culture,
who earns her living by swift and ac-
curate stenography, has sent us a let
ter in which she points out the frivol-
Gus treatment of the stsnographer in
popular literature. AS to her appear

a Busy Broker"
ga high rolled fringe of golden hair
under a nodding canopy of velvet and
ostrich tips, an imitation sealskin sack
and a string of beads as large as hick-
DRY nuts, ending near the floor with a
silver heart"
AS to her mentality, consult "Short
Story Writings" by Professor Pitkin
of Columbus University:
"The gum-chewing stenographer,
who devours the literary offspring Of
Mr.. Robert Chambers, may have her
difficulties with this"
Her conversation is described in q

believe me, when it comes to the
real thing, the blow-in-the bottle kind,
our Bits got the best of em beat to
fade-away"
Her equipment may be found de-
scribed in any of the alleged comic
papers.
Have you done anything for spell

Why is she so treated? We all
know the facts. Among those earning
their living in this way happen to be
