Bobby Messen=

FinelyforBrowns

The following from a special to the
St. Louis Times of Feb. 25 from ST.
Petersburg, Fla, concerning the prac-
tice of the St. Louis Browns and re-
ferring directly to Bobby Messenger of
Gardiner, Me, will be of interest to his
friends and TO the fans in general:
although the Browns training sea-
son is only little more than week
old, three minor leaguers are already
on the scene. 1t is thought that they
are trying to make some arrangement
whereby they will be able to cop some
of the players Manager Hickey cannot
place on his club.
bill Schwartz, who manages the
Nashville club in the Southern League,
was among them. The leader of the
Nashville outfit expects to stick
around here for about two weeks, to
look over the athletes under the wing
of the Browns boss. Just what play
ers he has his eye on could not be de-
termined.
The others are connected with the
Birmingham club of the same league.
They are President Baugh and Man
ager Harry Molesworth. The Browns
secured Bob Messenger. the outfielder
from Molesworth's team, and it is
thought that the pair came to the local
camp in an effort to swing some ar
rangement so they could get Bob back
again in case Hickey could find no
place for him on his club.
In the daily practice contests Mes
senger has shown to good advantage.
He stands up to the plate well. and
such an able judge of ball tossers as
DIR. Lawler, who has seen them for a
good many seasons, claims that he is
the fastest man on the outfit. Mes
senger also owns a good arm

A hen belonging to Albert Allen of
Livermore Falls, Me-, went through an
unusual experience when it was acci-
dentally locked out for ten days. Dur
ing the entire period the temperature
registered from six to ten degrees be-
low in the early morning, yet the
hens feet were not frozen, and after 1t
had a warm feed it was apparently un-
affected by the exposure.
1t is believed that the largest kitchen
in the world is that Of the Bon Marche,
in Paris. 1t provides food for all the
employees of the house, four thousand
in number The smallest kettle holds
seventy five. quarts, the largest 375
quarts. There are fifty frying pans,
each of which is capable of holding
