list who got any part of the worlds
series money for t914-Tyler, Hess.
Meanwhile and Gowdy.
During the season of 1913 Stallings
made many changes in the roster of
the Braves. lie added James and Ru-
dolph to his pitching staff. and the Off
cial roster Of the club at the close of
Stallings' first year, a year in which it
finished fifth, was as follows:
Pitchers = James, Strand, Rudolph,
Duchcnie, Nillaxon, Luque, Davis,
Cocreham, Quinn. Crutcher, Herche,
Meikle, Dickson, Hess, Purdue. Tyler,
Hogg, McTigue, Gervais, G. Brown,
De Nogt. Drummond Brown, Treagres-
ser. Beck; harden, Whaling.
Govdy; nielders-Sweeney Maran-
vile, Schmidt, Deal, Martin, Schulz,
Dugey, Schwind NIcCloskey, Myers,
Calhoun, II. V. Smith. Devln, Bues,
McKechuie; outficlders- Titus. Bristol
Lord. Clymer, Kirk, Jackson, Seymour,
Zinn, Noycs. Connolly. Griffith, Mann,
Gilbert, Zwilling.
How many Of these took part in the
worlds series?
Stallings is the first man to win n
pennant without having on his staff at
least one pitcher with reputation as
a star. He is the first man to win a
worlds championship with a lot of
players regarded as castoffs, misits
and bushers. How did he do it? Here
is his own explanation:
81 attribute a large part of what sue
cess have had in baseball to this one
fact:
Il have been everlastingly on the Job.
"There has been lot printed in the
newspapers in the last two months
about lucky coins, hoodoos. jinxes and
superstitions in connection with me
and my ball club. All this sort of thing
makes good reading, no doubt and
candidly acknowledge that ! have al
lowed superstition to become some
what Of hobby with me. but afeer all
p said and done the secret of my sue
cess has been due to hard work on my
part and my insistence on hard work
on the part of my players.
IF you 90 into a successful store In
any line of business you will find that
all the clerks. department managers
and the owners of the concern are hare
working men. 1t is the easy going con

them do not work hard-that are The

The government Of Bombay. through
its district officers, is advising local
agriculturalists to grow wheat and 9TH
or grains instead of cotton. 1t has been
pointed out to them that the prices of
cotton are too low and will probably go
down further, owing to the war, while
good demand win spring up for food
stuffs from Europe, and they are likely
to bring good prices.

SOT. GOOD AND BAD MEANING
innumerabIe Superstitions Connected
From Time immemorial With
Wild Creatures.

There are very many superstitions
connected with wild animals. In the
case of lion. 1t is believed that the
wearing of claw of this animal will
bring great strength.
People connected with circuses and
shows have a saying that when lions
get restless and uneasy, either i'll luck
or extremely bad weather Is at hand.
and that when they continually wash
their faces in cat-like fashion they are
likely to have fits of ill temper in the
near future.
Numberless are the supersrftohs
associated with the tiger. The natives
of India believe that its whiskers are
a deadly poison, and that when finely
chopped and secretly put into per.
sons food they will assuredly cause
death What is known as the 'evil
eye" is greatly dreaded in India, and
to avert this parents hang the claws OF
dren
To see a wolf is supposed to be .
good sign, but IL a man sees wolf
before the wolf sees him, then he
will become dumb for the time or lose
his voice.
For . hare to run across anyone's
path is considered a very bad sign in
some parts of England. because In
olden times 1t was believed that witch.
es transformed themselves into hares
in order to bring bad luck to their enc
mics.

Glass CUTTING.

The layman who is introduced to thu
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
time is amazed at the amount CT work
that the workman does entirely by his
eye. The first stage of the bowl which
Is to be cut finds it in a perfectly plain
condition, not scratch upon 1t and
only half dozen or more marks in red
chalk. which mean absolutely nothing
to the Impractical eye. But to the
work man they mean the whole pat
tern. Perhaps the dish is salad bowl.
The marks in chalk will run from the
edge, five intervals apart, down to the
center of the bowl at the bottom. In
one of the divisions Of the bowl thus
marked there may be little further
marking in the shape perhaps of dia'
mond. This indicates the pattern into
which the bowl is to be cut, and It will
be repeated in each of the five dig
sions. All the intricacieS of the desi.

LONDON TO HONOR FRANKLIN

Few London people would connect
romance with the name Of Benjamin
Franklin, but there Is a chance that ha

mantle Of England's few medieval
churches, St. BartholomeN's, Smith

Some one has discovered from the
parish rate books that he once worked
at the case in an Office housed in his
day in the Lady Chapel Of the church

ployed on setting up the second edt
ton Of Woolaston's Religion Of Ma

quaint little engraving showing the
top floor of the factory with the COM

The posts Of these racks were still

was cleared Of its workaday fittings
