LEFT HANDED BALL PLAYERS.
They Should Pitch or Take the Out
field or First Base.

They Should Pitch or Take the Out
field or First Base.
Left handed throwers who desire to
play the iRteld should conflne their eff
forts to first base. The records of
baseball fail to show a left handed
thrower successful in any infield posi-
ton other than first base. This Is due
to the fact that left handed thrower
who tries to play second, third or
balance when he gets q ground ball
1t Is necessary. therefore, that he
should change his position before he
can make throw to any Of the other
bases with any degree of accuracy.
A left handler Is conceded to have
considerable advantage over a right
handler In playing first base. This Is
because left handed thrower at flrst
base is always In a position for throw
ing to any Of the other inflelders or
catcher without having to make any
shift. In handling hunts and attempt
ing a force play at some other base
the fraction of second saved in be-
ing able to field and throw with prac-
tically the same motion gets the YER
dict on many close plays.
Left handed throwers are under a
serious handicap when trying to catch.
A catcher who throws right handed
will tell you 1t is much easier to
throw to second with right handed
batter up than a left handler. A right
handed batter gives the catcher a clear
view of second base and the runner.
With 4 left handed batter 1t Is slight
ly obscured. The majority Of batters
are right handlers.
Players who throw left handed
should choose only pitching. playing
the outfeld or holding down first base.

oriain of the Opera.

The opera, like nearly everything
else interesting In the world Of mind,
had its origin In ancient Athens. The
earliest nbrettos were by Sophocles
and Aeschylus, such as the "Agamem.
non" and "Antigone," band Of flutes
and Tyres constituting the orchestra,
the dialogues being unsteady declaim'
ed and the choruses sung to the best
music Of the time. Thus do we have
the germ Of all later developments In
the line Of opera.-Exchange.

The third army, landed upon the Delaware coast from trans ports, was cooperating. with this e l. umn. It had taken the intuition plants at Carney's Point and was moving upon Washington.

 Flour already was gone; milk was gone, the cattle all killed. Already the old men and women and children were beginning to die by the dozens of want and exposure, and the winter was only on the way.
 Jim could take no food from these people. Beatrice would take none. Jim kept her close to him as he worked his way north.
 Though the countryside continued to be great miserable camp of refugees, there were fewer and fewer of the epemy's soldiers. Now there were only outposts and patrols of, the invaders. But during the third day of hiding Beatrice disappeared. Jim had left her hiding in an old, abandoned boat shed by the river while he went to find wood. When he returned she was gone.
 There were no marks to show wheth- CT any one had come and taken her. There was nothing. She had just dis appeared.

for paddle and with it she aided Jim in bringing the raft against t-ie west bank of the river. The float grounded in shallow. water and Jim stole to the shore. How far up they had drifted he could, not guess, but after crossing the tracks of the West Shore railroad he came to a sheer, abrupt wall of rock reaching up far into the black mist. He was somewhere at the foot of the Palisades. He crept along eau tiously, pausing many times to listen. till he found m ascent to the top of the sheer cliffs Then he came upon a great camp-a strange, unsentineled, 'ungnarded refugee camp-lit by the embers of fires which glowed here and there in irregular spots. As Jim crept close he could hear babies crying and women grooming to them anxiously and trying to quiet them.
 "Oh, baby, baby, I've got nothing for you! couldn't get anything to eat to- night!' walled one poor mother.
 The regents soldiers, Jim had heard, gave little concern to such camps ex- cept to take out all men of military age. Half an hour later.Jim returned to the raft.

The kid wanted to come with me, but if he was caught guiding me I suppose they'd shoot him, so I wouldn't let him follow"
 North of the ruins of New York the rege~ s army appeared merely to be maintaining the positions it had taken during the siege. Their immediate ob- 5ectfves were fin other quarters. Jim learned from refugees that an army was moving against New England. During the siege of Manhattan col umn had taken Bridgeport and cap tured the cartridge works and manu- factories of rapid fire guns and the rife and cartridge factories of New Haven. Another column, moving into New Jersey, had taken the powder works and arsenals about Dover. The regents armies were marching farther now in both directions.

and went into the guest room to sleep there with Agnes. They had spent many nights together ill the last weeks, put always they slept in the guest room, which now was Agnes room." The room which Nellie had shared with Bob and where she still kept his things was shrine only for herself. Fog and chill weather were over the Hudson In Illinois the night was warm and clear, with great yellow harvest moon over, the trees outside Agnes window. The window was up. The girls could hear Nathan Ashby's heavy step crunching the dry leaves on the walk as he came home at mid night from the factory, which was working twenty-four hours day mak- ing cartridges for the army. From the window which looked toward the town one might sec the flames from the stacks glaring scarlet above the little city.
 Nathan Asbby entered the house and ascended the stairs with slower step than usual for him; then, as he went to his room, his step steadied. His wife opened the bedroom door. He stopped and kissed her.
 "The regent has taken New York, Nathan" she said to him tremulously.
 "Yes, mother.", Nathan Ashby's big hand was on his little wife's shoulder which was shaking. "Well, i've ship ped 100000 cartridges to Jim today"

 "To Jim, mother, or-or for him. Come on, me.Aer. I'm awful tired" The bedroom door shut.
 "To Jim or for him!'' the girls in the guest room heard. Agnes, who was mechanically giving her beautiful brown hair tone hundred brushes" threw down her brush upon the floor and flung herself upon the bed in sud den, hysterical weeping. What do I care how look if he can't see me?''
 Nellie kissed her tenderly. "You really love him, dear?"
 "Oh, don't know! Oh, Nellie, Nel- lie; why did this awful war have to come?
