PLAYER IS ECCENTRIC
Rube Waddel| Had Nothing on
Southpaw Pitcher Evans.
1wjrIer Was Never Quite Good Enough
for Majors and Pitched in Almost
Every Miner League Of Note
In the Country.

Rube Waddell has been called the
most eccentric character the national
game has ever known, but Rube prob
ably gained the reputation because he
was a great twirler and constantly be-
fore the major league public. But the
real eccentric person is Rube Evans,
southpaw pitcher, who was never
quite good enough for the majors.
Evans has pitched in almost every
minor league of note in the country,
and earned a nationwide reputation
as a squirrel" His most amusing
stunt probably was the biggest bone"
that ever was pulled" on ball field.
He was pitching for Portland a few
years ago when the squeeze play was
all the rage because Of the manner
in which the Athletics were executing
the play. The opposing teams were
using it with such regularity that
Manager McCredie was in q rage
when men were on third with-none or
one out.
Finally after the play had been
worked on Evans twice in one inning,
McCredie said:
1.-THE next time that they try that
play, bean him (meaning, of course,
the batsman), that will stop them
An inning later the opposing team
tried the squeeze. There he goes
was the cry set up by Evans team
mates Imagine the surprise and ex'
citement in the grounds when Evans
whirled about and threw straight as
an arrow at the base runner. His
aim was good and the ball struck the
runner just back Of the ear and
stretched him out cold. A riot al
most followed and Evans was lucky
to escape being mobbed.
On the way back to the hotel, Nc
Credie said: what the deuce wer|
you thinking Of, you big lunkhead?"
you told me to bean him, didn'
you? Why didn't you say the batter

eresnahan Backs 1ener.

Manager Bresnahan of the Cubs has
taken sides with Governor Tener and
Ban Johnson against the emery ball.
Several of the Cubs pitchers have
shown a disposition to toy with 1t IN
practice just for the fun Of the thing,
so Bresnahan has issued an edict that
he will slap a fine on any man who
even roughens the ball. He believes
that ability to use the forbidden
curve might act as a temptation and
cause some of his twirlers to subject
the Cubs to the possibility Of forfeit
ing a game through its use.

EAT REMAINS OF CANDLES
Christmas Services Among the Eski-
mos of Labrador-Part Most En-
ioyed by the Children.

Somebody has said that when the
world was being made the Creator
gathered up all the waste material he
had left over and made Labrador out
of it. Some people say the Creator
never intended it to be inhabited But
inhabited it is with a sturdy, taciturn
band of Eskimos, who, thanks to the
Moravian missionaries who have pene-
trated to that country, celebrate
Christmas in their own peculiar way.
AS service time in the church draws
near all the inhabitants, old and
young, the men on one side and the
women on the other. are waiting in
eager expectation. 1t is quite dark
by four O'Clock and the bell rings, AL
come trooping in clad in the best
clothes they can muster.
No one stays at home from these
services unless he is sick or lame
and whenever 1t Is possible sleighs
are used to bring these disabled ones
to church.
For the little children the happiest
part of the services comes later when
each child receives a lighted candle,
symboliziug the light of the world
Each candle stands in white turnlp
which serves as candlestick. Most
OF the candles are made from deer
tallow which the Eskimos bring to
the missionaries. After the services
the children eat not only the turnip,
but what is left of the candle as well.
One year only about ten persons.
mostly men, could come from the
nearest island The ice had been
driven together, and rather than miss
the Christmas service they had risked
their lives in crossing over on that
moving. heaving, broken ice to the
mainland. Then they had to climb
the mountains and walk through the
deep snov until they reached the mis-
sion station after twenty-three hours
of danger and fearfully exhausting
march through the snow
How happy they were to be in time
to celebrate the Christmas festival in
the house of their God. About six
days later. when the ice had formed,
all the rest of the people came. but
oh, so sad and downhearted. Like
little children they told the mission
aries their tale of sorrow. They de.
scribed how sad they all had been
when they found that it would be i'm,
possible to come to the mission sta
ton for the Christmas service.

christmas Past"

1t was indeed gracious time, and
as We read of the revels and cere-
monies and find foolish beliefs of
Christmas Past We might regret what
we have lost I'm this tanner and less
picturesque age, IL we did not know
that never before IN history was
Christmas kept 30 truly and heartily
in the spirit OF the day as 1t is now.
We have dropped good many rude
and some pretty customs. but we have
gained a broadening spirit of almost
universal charity, feeling OF real
brotherhood, that is perhaps none the
less real that it is held in check q
good deal during the rest OF the year

Gauze bags, made to hold individ-

popular new fads that make lovely
Christmas gifts. They are made of
chiffon, silk muslin or gauze, gathered
over a silk-covered embroidery hoop.
Hangers of light satin ribbon are
fastened at each side of the hoop with
a rosette.
The balls, of absorbent cotton, are
finished with tiny bows of baby rib
bon matching the hangers in A1lor.
AS soon as used they are thrown

Powered silk muslin makes pretty

are sewed to the balls. The bags hang

/ their school, and commended the
faithfulness of the board in
bringing it into existence. He
laid stress upon the Importance
of thorough grade work in the
schools. The fine points of Mr..
SWANS talk are too numerous to
mention. 1t is needless to say
that it was enjoyed by all, and
that its only fault was that it
was too short.

rooms in the afternoon, and
expressed himself as being very
much pleased. He admired the
business like attitude of the boys
and girls toward their studies.

SERBIAN SANITARY SITUATION
Much Improved Through Aid Received
 From Friendly Nations..

Rome, March 30, S:55 D. m., via Paris, March 31, 2 d. m.-Otiicial re- ports received from Serbia state that the sanitary situation in that coun- try has been much improved through the assistance received from friend ly nations, including the United States. Medical supplies are badly needed, however, especially for the wounded. The spirit of the Serbian army. the report added, is unbrollen and the soldiers are anxious for an opportun ity to face the Austrians. The en- tire nation has bent it's energies to making preparations for the next cam- paign.
 Two hundred cannon captured from the AuStrianS are reported to have been added to the Serbian artillery, while the ammunition obtained from the same source is sufficient to last for several months operations.

ARBoR DAY.

There does not appear to be as much interest manifested in Arbor Day now as there used to be, and yet as the years pass it should be re- garded with increasing importance Once in while public speaker will refer to the dearth of trees on our public streets or a public official will endeavor to have his city do some thing to replace the trees that have died from one cause or another. but beyond that there is little said or done about a subject that should be among the first to be considered in every day that New Haven obtained 1,50O trees, 1000 of them from the city nursery, and will plant them along the streets. This appears to be more than any other city in Connecticut has ever done at one time in the in- terest of street beauty, although many have talked about it.
 In the early history of Arbor Day the exercises in connection with the observance of the day by ,ool chill dren included the setting O. of trees, but if this is continued tI. fact ap- pears to have been most ca1 ffully con-
 cealed from. the public, ana yet that was the most important efeature of the exercises. The, sta ae used to make a practice. of. setting lout trees when 1t was preparing to macadamize a stretch of roadway, the work when completed seemed to have been well done and needed no experienced eye to conclude that in time the street. would be much beautif1ed by the simple or namentation, and that even the road way itself would be preserved by the shade Somehow these facts do not seem to have any particular value in the eyes of some of those placed# in positions of authority. If the t.ue spirit of Arbor Day was observed for a few years the public xreets woA1d be improved in appearance sand Af- joining property would also take dh a more pleasant look. The daN this year has been set for April 16, and it will be interesting to note what, if anything, is done by different com munities in the way of planting trees.
