Gaatrnnonnio Clock.

An ingenious F'renchman once de vised clock that would tell him the time in the dark, not through his eyes but through his mouth Beside his bed he placed large flat clock dial on which every hour was marked by d small cavity In each of these he placed different spice; the figure 12, for instance, held quiuue and the figure 6 cloves. To find the time he felt for the short hand with his fingers and dipped them into the cavity to which it pointed, then tasted his fingers. This gave him the hour. To get the minutes he felt for the long hand and tasted the. spice to which it pointed. If he tasted pepper and then nutmeg, for instance, he knew it was half past 8.

The highest purpose of intellec- tual cultivation is to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his own inner self. to render our consciousness its own light and its own mirror; hence there is the less reason to be surpassed at our in- ability to enter fully into the feelings and characters of others.

 COMPARISON OF .oLDRING AND CONNOLLY.
 Oldring and Connolly will play left field in the worlds series games. There is little to choose between them.
 Where O1dring has the advantage of longer experience, Connolly makes up for the discrepancy by the hitting. He IS the best outf1elder on the Braves roster, both in hitting and fielding, and has played with more regularity than any of the others.
 Oldring, when right, hits at a 300 clip. However, his batting eye has not been up to this high standard dur ing the Hast two seasons and he has l batted about 25 points, shy of the mark. He is a dashing fielder and 1 thoroughly reliable on the defensive. If an edge should be drawn in hgur- ing the advantage of either team at this position. it would go to Boston through ConnolIy,s timely and con- sistent hitting.

Much has been said and written ID praise of the week of the WonoefAu. !. Iinfeld of the Athletics, consisting ol McInnes, Collins, Barry and Baker. II has been called the "$10,000 Infield, but 1t is doubtful whether Connie Mack would part with 1t for twice that amount.
 Marty osTeo1e cost the Pirates $22,- 50o which is nearly as much as tne approximated worth of one Of the members of Mack's innfeld. Judging from this, the value placed upon the quartet is not an exaggerated one Connie Mack's fortune is tied Up 'in the Philadelphia, club, and if he should dispose of his tndeld, it is easy TO imagine what would shortly become of the club, team and his fortune
 The McInnis Collins Barry Baker combination is the greatest of it's kind today, and some give it rank above all inhelds in the history of baseball. It jumped into fame with the .aecllne of the Cub machine in the worlds ser ies of 1910. It has been going at rec ord-breaking clip ever since.
 All, four men are in their early twenties and should be good for ten years yet. barring accidents and Ill { all are 300 hitters and Barry ovens the score by being the most reliable hitter on the team in pinch.
 BOSTON INFIELB.
 The infield of the Braves is better than the average one in the major leagues because of the presence or two star performers around second base, the pivot of the diamond. Evers and Maranvi1Ie are these stars.
 Schmidt, at first base, Is a big man, fairly fast and reliable and xproba ply 1 a star in the making. Smith, at third base is a more finished player than 1 the German, and one who could hold | a job on almost any team. However the life and speed of the infield are embodied in the shortstop and second baseEnan.
 1 Both of the latter are exceptionally fast and cover a lot of ground. Their l shfftiness, tcleverness in starting and completing plays, rapid fire thinking and aII-around team work have won a Playing with Maranville and Evers has improved materially the work o1 Schmidt and Smith.

 BOSTON CATCHERS.
 Boston Is well equipped in the catch ling line for the worlds series games Stallings has two capable receivers 1T lGowdy and Whaling.
 Cowdy is one of the biggest reasons lwhy Boston captured the pennant IT Ithe National League. It was the ex- lcellent work of Hank behind the plate Ithat steadied Rudolph, Tyler ane EJames and enabled them to stand tho istrain of pitching every third day. Hs also did high class work with the sec ond string pitchers.
