PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2c.-President
william +. Baker NJ the Phillies will
protest the sale OF Joe Gedeon. who
played AT second on the Salt Lake Coast
League team and who accepted Federal
League Inducements near the close OF
the 1915 pennant fight. Gedeon was
sold 20 the Yankees last Friday by
Harry F. Sinclair.
In discussing the matter tonight
President Baker said Donovan has
taken from the line of the Phillies n fish
that does not belong to him. We had
prior claim to Mr.. Gedeon before he
ever cast his lot with the Federals.
lie had practically accepted our terme.
but despite this he cast his lot with
the Federals last season. when the So
called independents made a raid on the
Coast League. Gedeon swallowed hook,
line and slnker when the Feds cast their
line for him. but we had a prior claim
10 him. and in view OF the fact that
the F'cde have been absorbed he Is our
property.
Il am surprised that Sinclair should
sell him 10 the Yankees. AS matter OF
fact. ! think the phillies have such a
good claim to Gedoon we are going n

have him turned over to us

He said that II had been his pet hobby
to have those who played as amateurs
live IN to the name in every sense. and
declared that the ruling meant a great
Uplin IN future golf.
Mr.. jacques said This question has
been brought down to names instead OF
principle and We must all stand to-

one who plays the game for the game =

though this kitchen is large enough to
be well ventilated and far from stuffy,
the arrangement gives it all Of the ad.

The front porch is very cleverly
placed back under the main roof with
fancy exposed rafters and two neat
posts. The broad steps blend well
with the other parts of the house and
have an inviting appearance from the
thoroughfare.
A few well-placed trees and shrubs

surround this house with an atmos-
phere as homellke as anyone could

rounded in a tavern by FIVE officers
heavily armed, who were bent upon
capturing him, and he whipped the
whole five with his fists and escaped.
The authentic stories of his exploits
would ill large volume. He some
times had bands of followers, and
sometimes he operated alone, and he
had phenomenal luck.
There was nothing haphazard about
his methods. He laid his plans like
general, and followed them up. He
had his scouts and spies, and received
accurate information when wealthy
travellers were about to set forth on
pllgrimages. Then he would ambush
them and relieve them of their val
tables with an old-school courtesy
that must have been highly gratifying
to the victims. His operations COW
cred wide territory, and he moved
so quickly and mysterlously that 1t
was almost impossible to locate him.
1t was characteristic of this singu-
lar man that after every robbery he
was overwhelmed with remorse. He
would repair to some secluded spot
and sit In sackcloth and ashes, and
write poetry full of heartbreak; and
his poetry, considering his meager ed
ucatlon, is surprisingly good. Several
Of his poems have been preserved,
and they are melOdlous and sweet.
There is not a discordant line In any
Of them.
Time and again he made up his
mind to abandon his wicked courses
and lead quiet and reputable life,
but something always interfered. Upon
one occasion, after making Of haul Of
81, C00-which was a fortune In those
days-he travelled back to the scenes
Of his boyhood. intent upon buying q
farm upon which he had worked as q
child. He had heard that the place
was for sale, and he was determined
to own 1t, and settle down and live
happy ever after. But when he ap.
preached the farmhouse a savage dog
sprang at him from behind some
bushes, and chased him all over the
place, and bit sample out of his per.
son, and he was so mad and disguised
that he left the neighbOrhood at once,
and resumed his old tricks.

Der of windows, with their white
frames and sashes, there are no broad
expanses Of wall surface to present
mOnotonous appearance.
Following the type OF, construction
used In the cooler parts of this coun-
try this house is built well above the
ground, which not only allows large
basement space but also protects the
house against the cold and dampness
Of the ground, which may be very
desirable feature in some climates. 1t
also allows enough headroom In the
furnace room so that the heating APP
paratus may be easily installed.
In a one-story house the Importance
Of the basement is considerable, and
on account of the nearly square design
of this bungalow and its generous pro-
portions the basement may be divided
off In a manner which will render 1t of
maximum value. Not only is there
room for the usual cold-storage room,
furnace room, and laundry, but very
handy little workroom may be fitted up
with bench and other useful equip
ment. Such a little workshop is not
only Of value In repairing and building
articles for the home, but 1t offers the
younger generation means of spend
ing time at something which viii later
prove to be of considerable value in
the training which 1t gives.
The interior arrangement of this
bungalow shows the results of careful
thought on the part of the designer.
The entrance is into the reception hall,
which continues back through the
house, leading off into the various
rooms. A cased opening on one side
of the reception hall leads into the
living room, while similar opening on
the other side leads into the dining
room.
The living room offers an exceeding.
'ly pleasant gathering place for the
family, with It's six windows to assure
room which will be bright and cheer
full. There is plenty of room for some
attractive rugs, wall decorations and
furniture.
The dining room is well lighted and
with its well-placed buffet and gener-
Gus floor and wall space, could be
made into a very attractive room by a
careful selection of finish and furni-
ture
The kitchen contains many features
which should be of interest to the
housewife. 1t is hard to overestimate
the convenience of the little pantry,
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-07-28

to be snugly assembled in a house all
to themselves, where they may almost
forget that such a thing as a stair
exists.
To the small town or village resi-
dent the bungalow offers its advan-
tages at their best. This type of con-
struction is never so we'll exhibited as
where the prices of land are induclve
to the purchase of a large piece of
land on which to build. Here the
bungalow may be designed to carry
out the low, broad lines which are so
attractive in this type Of construction,
and with a well-laid-out lawn the re-
sulting home is one which anyone may
be proud to exhibit to his friends.
The design shown here is intended
to incorporate as much of the truly
bungalow style as may be placed in a
house of this size. Incidentally the
