THREE BALLS IN PLAY
EACH lNFIELDER HAS PILL AND
CHASES A BASE RUNNER.
One Of Most Humorous Situations
Ever Witnessed on Baseball Field
Umpire Finally Straight
ened Things Out.

The following humorous story of the
baseball field is related by Bill Speas,
outfielder of the Portland team of
the Pacific Coast league, and prob
ably is one of the most humorous
things witnessed on a baseball field.
Incidentally, the story has been told
and retold by prominent players in
the two major leagues.

Speas, but I've got several clippings
to prove it. 1t happened in 1906 in the
Pennsylvania and Ohio league. / was
playing with Mansfield, and Doc
Bailey, the old-time Columbus pitcher
was doing the pitching for us. Our
opponents had us beaten, about 40 to 0
when one of them hit a ball and
slammed it down the right field foul
line. The umpire threw in another
ball, and he knocked it foul again.
Then he hit one at me in left, and
after breaking my neck to keep 1t
from rolling into the next state,
got it and threw it in to the plate,
only it hit the grandstand instead.
We'll, in the meantime, the field

the shortstop had one running a man

there in left field.
THE umpire eventually ruled the
foul balls out of play and held that
the ball l threw at the grandstand
was the right one. But that does not
change the fact that there were three
balls in play all at one time"

The materials to be used for salad

dressing is the general favorite for
crisp vegetable salads as it is quickly
prepared. A vinegar that has been
used on picked beets, or cucumbers
should always be saved to use in salad
dressings. When making the boiled
variety the spiced vinegar makes an
unusual flavor which is we'll liked.

Be careful first of all as to how the
hands are washed-in tepid water is
the most satisfactory, for it is not too
cold to remove the dirt and not too
hot to redden the flesh. Constantly
changing soap is very bad for the skin.
A good soap should be selected and be
used regularly without change. Be
sure that all the soap is off the hands.

FRED TENNEY ACTS QUICKLY
Decision of Former Giant to Get Into
Newark international Club
Was Sudden One.

Fred Tenney's decision to buy into
the Newark ball club was a sudden
one, according to New York story.
Fred had gone to New York to attend
the anniversary reunion. He dropped
into the Waldorf and met old friends.
well, what's doing?" he inquired of
one of them, "and how are all the old
boys?"
Well" someone remarked, "the In.
ternational league is being reorgan-
lied. The Newark club looks like a
good buy. i understand Jim Price is
trying to get it."
"Price?" said Tenney, reflectively.

answer, "he was" "Show him to me-"
said Tenney. I'D like to see him."
Jim Price was sitting down at one
end of Peacock Alley and Fred went
down to talk to him. A day later came
the announcement that the two had
joined forces and bought the Newark
franchise.

APPLY POWDERS WITH CARE
Much Harm May Be Done to the Skin
II Ii Is Laid On Too Law
ishly.

Many women whose complexion is
blotchy, red and unclean looking, can
trace the source of their trouble to a
superabundance of powder. Even the
best, purest powders on the market
will clog the skin pores, if applied too
heavily and often.
Powder was not meant to cover the
face so it looks as if the -four barrel
had been visited head first. 1t was in
tended as a means of removing the
shine from the skin. Is there any
thing a more disgusting sight than a
woman with her chin and nose white
with powder? 1t seems that the wom-
en- who affect the headlight powder
system" have the largest noses, the
homeliest chins. Of course, the pow
der only focuses attention on these
features.
The tint of the powder used must
depend on the coloring of the user.
Blondes must use one color, brunettes
another, and according to the degree
of fairness or darkness. Also for eve
ming use there are certain shades of
powder which are much more becom-
ing than the tints most attractive in
the daylight.

in less than each five was able to hit
the Washington smoke artist.
Joe Wood held opponents to small
er number of runs than Johnson and
ranks at the top of the American
league, but was in much smaller
number of games, so the title of lead
ing pitcher belongs to Johnson. Wood
was touched for .216 average by op-
posing batters.
There is no doubt that Johnson has
more speed than Alexander. but the
figures also show that Johnson, who
