BRAVES AND PHlLLIES LOOK
BETTER THAN BROOKLYN
BY Mark Shields

The only people having any high
regard for the Cubs at the present
time are those more or less sports
who are betting on them to be low
in baseball pools It's a cinch. Four
runs in five games and 20 hits in
the same space of time is eXplana-
ton enough of why the North Siders
have slid to sixth place.
And as this congiomerate column
is supposed to be on the subject of
baseball we may as well discuss the
Dodgers, PhiIlies and Braves, who
now are scTambHng for the leading
position in the National league.
Brooklyn has a lead which should
be safe for a few days, even with an
upset, but Phis and Braves are
pressing close, and there is every
reason to believe that both will chal-
lenge/ strongly for the top before
much time passes.
Boston has just started drive for
the peak which is bringing results.
Stallings has three southpaws and
two right-handers pitching the best
ball in the league, even a trifie bet
ter than the Cubs. And this without
the aid of Dick Rudolph, who is being
saved for the closing stages if the
travelling is rough. Dick can stand
a mess Of work and complete it in an
efficient manner.
In other departments the Braves
seem to be the class of the circuit.
Their team play and individual work
is superior to that of the Robinson
crew, and the team is better fortified
to stand up under adversely. Evers
is supposed to be the pivot of the
club, but there is no noticeable fall
ing off in the clubs speed because of
his absence. Fitzpatrick is an able
substitute, and it is a fact that Ma
ranVille plays better ball beside Fitz
than paired with lawful John.

Circular Boats.

Still used to considerable extent,
circular boats in the Tigris may be
seen at Bagdad, just as they appear
ed 1000 years ago, when Herodotus
wrote: The boats which come down
the river to Babylon are circular and
made of SKINS The frames, which are
of willow, are cut in the country of
the Armenians above Assyria, and on
these, which serve for hulls, covering
of skins is stretched outside, and thus
the boats are made, without either
stem or stern, quite round, like a
shield. They are then entirely filed
with straw, and their cargo is put on
board, after which they are suffered
to float down the stream. Their chief
freight is wine, stored in casks made
of the wood of the palm tree. They
are managed by two men, who stand
upright in them, each plying an oar,
one pulling and the other pushing.
The boats are of various sizes, some
larger, some, smaller The biggest
reach as high as 5000 talents burthen.
Each vessel has live ass on board.
Those of larger size-have more than
one"

Because we bave two eyes the things
we see seem solid and not fiat, with
the result that we can judge their dis
lance from us with fair correctness.
Look through window at house
across the street with one eye closed
and then with the other eye closed.
The bars of the window frame will
cut across the opposite house in differ
ent places. The two fields seen with
the eyes separately, although in the
main alike, differ. When you look at
the house with both eyes open the two
fields seen by the two eyes are COM
bined and the house across the street
assumes depth and relief Although
we see house with each eye, we see
only one house with both eyes. This
makes the stereoscope possible-an in
strument so designed that the two eyes
are made to converge on single point
and yet to see two different pictures.
If these two pictures represent chair
as it would appear to the right and
left eyes respectively they are per-
ceived as one solid object - Popular

Two Views of = Treaty.

The treaty of Client, which ended
the war Of 1912, as signed on the 2Sth
of December, 1914, was variouslY re-
garded Henry Clay, one of the signers,
thought 1t "a - bad treaty. and did
not hesitate to say so. In certain high
quarters in England, on the other hand,
it was looked upon as great oppor-
tunity thrown away.
"An able minister would have con-
tinued the war;, Lieutenant General
Sir. Charles Napier declared, until the
northern states withdrew from the
Union, making a separate treaty with
England, after which England could
have raised the negroes of the south,

The Word Caters.

Episcopal CATERS cannot date from a
very remote antiquity. The very word
"gaiters" is almost newcomer to the
language Johnson's Dictionary does
not recognize it's existence. 1t does not
occur before 1850. and even in 1902 a
military dictionary had to define it as
"a sort Of spatterdashes." "Guetre,"
however, the French original, goes back
at least to the fifteenth century, and
the origin Of that is lost, though ety.
mologists compare all sorts Of words in
all sorts of languages. including an old
German word for baby's christening
cloth. The one certainty is that CATERS
has nothing to do with gait in spite of
the punning line in the Rejected Ad-
dresses LAX in their CATERS, laxer
in their gait" London Spectator.
