eide which of two things | heard
on the ball field was the funnier.
So I'll tell them both.
In 1908, when l was with Sy-
racuse in the New York State
league, we had four-game
series with Ilion which was man
aged by Howard Carl.
The series was very important;
1t meant the pennant for Ilion to
win two out of the four games,
and we had beaten them the first
two. In the third game Pop
Morse was pitching and up to the
fourth inning he had us stopped
without a hit. Howard, on first
base was playing the game OF his
life and shouting This gent GER
tainly is twirling today! He's
THERE, boys, he's THEREn
In the fifth we started and hit
Pop for eight straight hits and
seven runs. Howard had swal-
lowed his gum and was unable to
speak but when the eighth hit
was made he turned and looked
at Jack Fifield who was coaching
for us.

One day the old Chance, to
Evers to Tinker to Steinfeldt to
Killing to Sheckard to Hoffman to
Brown to Fullerton to the bar
bunch was playing In Brooklyn.
Zimmerman had been with the
club about a year. Evers and
Tinker were at him all the time,
telling him II anybody ever stole
his bat he'd be gone, and advis-
ing him to get some brains.
Chance was sore at Heine for
pulling a boner "a hours before;
and Chance hadn't smiled for a
week. Heine was sitting near
Chance on the bench, Evers was
at bat and Nap Rucker pitching.
The first ball Nap pitched
Evers had to fall to avoid being
hit on the head and 1t almost got
him. The next was low and the
third Rucker shot straight at
Johns bean and he dropped
again just in time.
Everything was quiet on the
bench, then someone said IF
Rucker hits him in the head
there'll be brains all over the in

that the present dictatorship,

fact that stockholders will be

The Score

Yesterday was novice's four
somes at the Lakeside Country
club. All golf enthusiasts of the
club we're supposed to take per-
sons to the links with them who
had never played golf before.
Unfortunately there were only
two novices on the BLUE" team
and the scoring was one-sided.
1t took some of the novices all
day to make IS holes. and their
scores-well, most of the score
cards were promptly destroyed
after the game. Ross Palmer, of
the regular members, made high
score of So.

Chance exploded, ha, ha, ha,

yesterday when the Milwaukees
held the Tacoma Steam Laundry
team down to one hit in a IL to
o game. 1t was not semi-pro

ing and are profitable only to men who thoroughly understand the business of preparing them for market.
 The draft horse however, is the ani- nal that does the hard work not only on the farm but in the big cities and he is always in demand. The reason there have been so few good drafters raised in the past few years, is be- cause too many farmers took up with the craze several years ago of trying to produce roadsters by breeding their mares to light stallions and as most of them were not willing to pay for the service of a first class animal, the re- suit is that the country is filled with second and third rate horses of no par ttcular use and which bring low prices.
 It is gratifying to note. however, that farmers are coming to their senses and are now breeding more drafters than ever before. Using stall lions on mares of the same type with proper weight, he can produce a type of animal that will turn out a profit at three years.
 Draft mares will do practically as much work on the farm as horses, and if properly handled these working mares will prove the best breeders.

It costs but very little more to raise good draft horses than the ordinary scrub and the drafter will sell for three or four times as much.
 A well bred draft horse is almost as good as cash in the bank. because ne sells on sight and brings a good price. A farmer who breeds good lrafters, using first class stallions, can n a few years make a reputation which will add from 10 to 25 per cent 60 the price of his animals over the prices of others equally good bred by men without reputation.
 There is always good money to be made in raising horses of this class. although many farmers seem to think that it does not pay. Most of them are right about this as far as their ,wn experiences go because they do lot raise the right kind.
 It is true that horses of a nonde- .cript character. lacking proper form. weight or style for any particular pur- pose, never bring high prices and are, therefore, not profitable to raise. The Average farmer has no business to at- tempt to raise fancy carriage or sad Ale horses because they require spe- rial knowledge of breeding and train

 Here he was interrupted by many eager to guess.

Almost everyone knows that Sags Tea and Sulphur. properly compound ed. brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which Is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays. by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as 1t does 1t 50 naturally and evenly.

The French war department. which IS stiii at Bordeaux. will return to Paris Jan. [.
 News reached Dover that a squadron or seven German aeroplanes flew over

 A dispatch from Venice says . French submarine boat torpedoed the Austrian dreainaught yiribus Unitis at Pola. It is said that hull of the dreadnaught was pierced but that she succeeded in reaching her dock.
 Russian forces. according to ad- vices received at Petrograd Monday from Galicia, succeeded in crossing the Biala river and in taking posses sion of twenty-mile strip of territory south Of Tuchow, thereby separating the two Austrian armies.
 The German government has for mally notified the American State De partment that American consuls in Belgium must be acceptable to the German military authorities and that  1t is desirable that some of the con suls be withdrawn for the present at least.
 Since the Russian defeat of the Aus trians in Galatia, which, while not ir- reparable, is likely to have a marked effect on the whole Austro-German campaign in the. East, there has been no important development on either front. The allies, although making no dramatic attacks on the German lines, are steadily hammering away with their artillery, and when opportunity offers push their lines few yards for ward. A French eyewitness, in a description of the battle from Dec. 16 to 24, gives good idea of the kind of fighting in progress and records gains which, while each is marked only in yards, amount in the aggregate to a considerable advance at many points.
