the top and work from side to side,
bringing the floss well down on the
rib each time. After the stitch is
brought down to the center secure II
with a cross stitch. Each stitch is
fastened before the next one is taken
and the tiny cross stitches in the cen

MANAGER CHANCE WAS RIGHT
Showed Good Judgment in Refusing
to Send Pinch Hitter in to Bat
for Frank Schultz.

During a tanning bee by some of
the Louisville players Scotty Ingerton
related a story regarding Schultz, the
heavy hitting outfelder of the Cubs.
S'It was in 1911, when / was with
the Boston Nationals" said Scotty.
''The Cubs we're playing the Doves.
In the early part of the game with
two men on bases Schultz went up to
the plate to bat, regardless of the fact
that Tinker and Evers argued with
Frank Chance that the home run hit
Ger should not be allowed to hit.
Chance, however, ignored Joe and
Johnny and allowed Schultz to bat.
The result was that Schultz knocked
an inf1eld fly for the third out, leaving
the two men on the bases. In the
ninth inning, with the Cubs still trail
ing, it was Schulte's turn to bat again.
Tinker and Evers again tried to per-
suade Chance to use another man,
saying that the pitcher, left-hander,
whom I cannot recall just now, was
pitching good ball.
"Chance said: He hits well enough
for me and I see no need in send
ing any one else to bat" Schultz
sent the ball over the fence, which
gave the Cubs the victory, and after

ABANDON HIT-AND- RUN PLAY
Teams of Few Years Ago Were more
Adept at Scientific Play Than
They Are Today.

While the hit-and-run play is often
used in baseball, it is really lost art.
Nowadays when the hit-and-run is sue
cessful the batter usually comes
through with a clean-cut safe drive
for one or more bases, which, when
the play is pulled off as it should be,
is next to impossible.
Hit-and-run requires scientific bat
ter. His object is to shove the ball
toward the place from which the IN
fielder has moved in order to cover
the bag toward which the runner has
started. It might be the second base
man or the shortstop. The batter IS
supposed to so place the ball that II
an infielder can reach it at all he has
to cover enough ground to make
double play impossible, and nine
times out of ten, if he manages to
throw the batter out at first, the play
has succeeded in moving up the base
runner.
There is chance for the ball rolling
safe, but the double play is absolutely
eliminated
But it is but seldom that one sees
che hit-and-run play worked IN this
way. Nowadays the batter gives the
runner the sign to start, and then he
takes wallop at the ball. Sometimes
three-base hit results, on which the
runner could have scored, even if he
had not started in advance, but more
often a high fly goes up, and when
the play is successful it is because the
batter gets the ball into safe terri
tory.
Conceding that baseball has adj
vanced in many respects, there is no
doubt that the teams of a few years
back were more adept at the Inland
run game than they are today.

ODD FEAT OF JACK KNIGHT
In Memorable Battle Player Got Five
Hits Without Hitting Safely Be-
fore Twelfth Inning.

The major league player able to
manufacture six hits in a game seems
to be, like the dodo, extinct Ath-
letes, season after season, come
through with five hits in a game, but
getting six safeties seem to be an i'm
possibility.
The last major Lacquer to make
half dozen hits in one game was
Jimmy Williams, and he turned the
trick on August 25, 1902, when he
was one Of the orphaned Baltimores,
in a contest with the Chicago White
Sox, for whom Clark Griffith and
Dummy Leitner pitched.
1t would seem to be an impossible
fly for player, whether of the major
or minor leagues, to get five hits in
a game without hitting safely before
the twelfth inning, but Jack Knight
now of the Cleveland American as
sociation team, did that when he was
one of Connie Mack's employees, on
September I, 1906.
On that day Philadelphia and Bos-
ton battled for "a innings, and Knight

to bloom, as this destroys the sap.
The Mexicans have favorite coup
let extolling the virtue of this plant,
which says:
Comida, bebida,
Casa, vestido.
This means that the maguey plant
is food, drink, house and clothing"
Such an assertion is little exagger-
ated, but it is fact that from the
maguey one can obtain pulque, te-
quila, an intoxicant somewhat resem-
bling Scotch whisky; mescal, like
tequila, but stronger; fuel, matching
material for the adobe hut and needles
and thread. By carefully cutting off
the sharp spike at the top of each
maguey BLADE and following the strong
fiber which extends from it to the
heart of the plant, sewing material of
a rude sort is obtained. The poverty
stricken Indians in the valleys of Mex
leo use this primitive needle and
thread extensively.
When sap time comes the sap gath
erer cuts into the bulb from the top
and digs out the corazon a few inches.
He then covers the cavity with a mag
uey blade and goes to the next plant,
which he treat in like manner.
Within two or three hours he returns
filed with sap-aqua miel, or honey
water, it is called Into this he dips
the small end Of queer receptacle
made from the Mexican gourdy 1t is
really rude siphon. He sucks the sap
into the gourd. Then he opens large
bag made from the skin of pig, which
he carries on his shoulder, and pumps
the sap into it from the siphon.
When newly taken from the bulb
the sap is thick, white and sweet and
tastes something like sweet cider. In
this state while not yet pulque, it is
very agreeable and not the least intox-
icating.
For three or four months repeated
visits are made to every plant tapped
and the sap withdrawn When the last
drop has been taken from II the great
plant droops, its blades sag to the
ground and it becomes dirty brown.
1t is then dug up and hauled away to
be used as fuel and matching and,
perhaps, needles and thread.
One load after another Of this aqua
miel the gatherer gathers in the pink
pigskin to the building on the hacienda
where the pulque is made. 1t is poured
into watts made of cowhide. The hair
side of the hide is uppermost, so that
the liquor is poured on the hair.
A small quantity of fermented sap
is placed with the fresh, and soon a
great white TO m forms on the top and
rises into a sort of pyramid as fer
mentation is complete. 1t is a thick,
sour liquid, sickening to one who has
not cultivated a taste for it. There is
nothing that can be compared to the
taste of pulque nor, for that matter,
to its smell. That IS usually enough
for most visitors to the country. But
it is said that good pulque, after one
has grown accustomed to it, is an ex-
ceedingly agreeable beverage.
Once fermented, the pulque is load
ed on the hacienda's own trains and
shipped to it's destination. Often a
peon will own a few maguey plants
somewhere, and it is a common sight
in the City of Mexico to see one OF
