BASEBALL. ~rRusr nusr1Sc..


We need not call the attention OF our
baseball friends to the rapid and por-
tentous rise of the Federal League.
Every fan" has read the reports OF
the outlaws" progress, and is mind
full of the fact that Joe Tinker and
Mordccai Brown, with others less ia
nous have Jumped" to the rivals OF
"organized ball"
But for the information OF those who
do not pretend to remember Ty Cobb's
batting average or to follow Hal Chase
in his wanderngs. we beg to state that
q passing familiarity with the situa-
ton of the outlaws" will be at once
interesting and cultural
Since the American League made
peace with its old rival, the National,
and thereby became n part OF So
called baseball trust the average play
er has been forced either to sign with
the Organization" associations or to
trust his future to those ephemeral and
uncertain teams that do not enjoy pro
lection" The result has been an Iron
clad uniform contract system with
standard reserve" clause
But last season the Federal League
entered the baseball world. and, while
protesting that 1t did not wish war
with Organized" ball. boldly cstab-
lished clubs In some OF the cities where
the American and National Leagues
were located. After somewhat ad-
vcnturous season, the Federals appear
TO have rcorganiZed with ample capt.
tai, and are now boldly competing for
the services of players in protected"
leagues. Joe Tinker, late OF the Chi
cago Nationals and OF the Cincinnati
Reds, has listened to the whispcrings

But-and the word is most conse-
quential--it is rumored that if the for

THE rLAYcnoUNp CENSUS.

The public playground Is an estab-
lished institution both in tho United
States and Canada, as the annual CEN
sus Of the Playground and Recreation
Association of America tcstines. The
provision OF such play and recreation
centres under efficient and skilled SUI
pervision Is increasing at a healthy
rate For this purpose. millions are
being annually expended.
six hundred and rorty-two cities in
this country and Canada are actively
enlisted in the playground movement.
Many others are on the verge of on
rolling themselves through the crea-
tion of play centres.
The tendency in maintenance is away
from private philanthropy. In III
cities the support is wholly municipal.
in ll5 1t Is divided between municipal
and private agencies, In 10 the work
derives Its total support from private
sources.

To XIII superfIuous Hair.

Tho description in the previous lesson
Of the hair follicle and its position will
explain the interesting subject of elec-
trolysis in the treatment Of superfluous
hair. The hair follicles sometimes lie in
the lower part of the outer skin, but the
hair that springs from these - very light,
often not even visible to the naked eye.
As q rule the hair follicle il situated in
the lower part OF the dermis and some
authorities state that 1t is often embedded
in the tissue lying beneath the dermis.
This being SO we can understand how
delicately and accurately the electric
needle must work in order to reach down
to the base of tho Sollicle and kill tho
papilla- The hair shaft. lying obliquefy
in the skin, must be found by the needle
and followed until 1t reaches the root
when the current Is applied. This prop
erly done absolutely kills the papilla: no
life will ever spring again from 1t. but to
remove any considerable growth Of hair
the process il long and necessarily exc
pensive. 1t Is attended with some prick.
ing. but cannot be described as painful.
