The, Times Oracle

Dear Oracle-A large brindle dog
comes around every morning and tips
over my garbage can to see what is
inside. | am getting tired Of going
out and turning the can back again.
| would appreciate any suggestions AZ
how to overcome this common nuts
ance-HOTSE FRAU.
A dog has certain ulienablc rights,
Frau, but when he tips Il garbage can
over he is going too far You can
easily fool the dog and at the same
time afford yourself much amusement
by getting twelve cans " the same
size. Fiji all with dirt except the
old one and set them In n row. When
the dog sees the garbage cans. he
won't know which one Is yours, and
will begin tipping them over from the
end. BY the time he gets TO yours
he will he worn out, and will have 10
~ and get Il drink N water. You can
now come out TO the fence aud give the
mongrel the laugh.
In case he finds your can first,
there is stlll another way To fool the
beast. Move your barn 10 another lot.
aud paint your house a different color.
When the dog comes down the alley
looking for the can he will be puz.
Zled, for he will miss the familiar
surroundings n he still hangs around
the can, fustcn the electric light wires
TO II. Now when the dog rubs up
against the can he will be shocked,
and will decamp at once.
Another way 10 surprise the dog is
this; Hunt around the alley until
you find a tall brown cat with pink
eyes, Now drop him IN the can.
When the dog comes around and puts
his head In the can he will see the cat
with the pink eyes. and this will make
n profound impression on him.
Call ont the fire department every
time you see the dog coming. He will
get Interested IN watching the wagons
go past, and win forget about the can
II he still goes back 10 It, Oracle sug
gests that You take a good, heavy
walking stick and hide behind tn,

BASEBALL
ODDS AND ENDS
"BiIiy" Sunday Was Traded
For "BiIIy" Day, Years Ago

In those days, the ball players had
to buy their own uniforms, a travel
ing uniform and one of the games a
home. Thirty dollars was the cost of
the two. Inasmuch as the trade was
to come off during that series, both
Billy" Sunday and Billy Day did
not know meaning of a $4,000 a sea-
son contract, so they decided TO be
economical and trade uniforms. It so
happened that there was but little diff
ferences in the change of uniforms, as
both men scaled about 1875 pounds.
After playing ball with such teams
as Reading, Troy, Syracuse, Lowell
and Baltimore, Mr.. Day retired in
1905. After his retirement from the
game he conducted the saloon at the
northeast corner of Second and Van
Buren, streets, and that place of bust
ness has long been known as the home
plate. A few years ago he reconl-
mended Earnie Greenwich to the Low
ell, Mass. team, and he is now one
of the best minor league pitchers in
the game.
Mr.. Day and several of his friends
intend to take a trip to Philadelphia
next Sunday, and if the opportunity
arises, he will recall the old days on
the diamond with Billy" Sunday.
whom he has not seen for twenty-five
years.

BY BILL MCGOWAN.

While the thousands of people now
reading and hearing the sermons Of
Billy Sunday, the evangelist, are
deeply interested in his knockout
sayings" and the original chatter, let
US halt a few minutes. The same
Billy Sunday that is hitting a mill
lion" in the Advice League was
traded at one time for Billy Day, the
old Wilmington mound artist.
Every baseball fan in Wilmington
knows Billy Day, who. in his time
pitched wonderful ball. He twirled
for the old Americas team, which
won the State championship; he
whipped 'em across for the B. B. S,
and while pitching for the Cape May
team in 1899, which club won As out
Of a games, he established some
wonderful mound feats. Billy was
picked up in the spring of 1890, by
the Philadelphia Nationals. At that
tine Sunday was playing with the
Pittsburgh team, and, according TO
Mr.. Days say, was a very fast man
on tho bases, a good fielder, and a
heady player. Billy Sunday was not
satisfied with playing with the
Pirates, so he was traded to Phila-
delphia one day in August, while the
two teams we're playing in Philadel-
phia.
