VI T0us
Many centuries ago q poor monk
was compelled to travel upon q long
and arduous journey. His road was
rocky, bis sandals were worn, and he
suffered agonies as he trudged grimly
upon bis holy errand. One day as he
sat by the wayside resting q sheep
came up to him, bleating in the most
friendly fashion. The good monk pet
ted the sheep and was grateful for its
dumb friendliness. when suddenly he
had an inspiration. He took out his
sheath knife, sheared two handfuls Of
wool from the sheep and placed one
In the heel Of either sandal. That
afternoon as he trudged along his feet
seemed light, his step springy. The
wool took the jar from his spine, the
impact of the stony road from bis
aching, swollen feet.
The next morning as he started out
he thought to rearrange the wool pad
ding and discovered that the friction
and the movement of his feet In the
sandals had reduced the wool to q sort
Of a cloth. Thus was discovered felt.
which to this day is one of the most
effective substances ever discovered
for padding purposes.

several points ahead In the contest.
"Oh. you should see my mothers

Nancy tossed scornful head.

Baltimore, April 23.-Germany
Schaefer, who has kept himself promi-
nently before the baseball public OF
late years by his antics in the coach
er's box, appears TO have a considera-
BILE amount Of real baseball in him yet.
He was one OF the members of make
shift team Of New York Yankees that
toyed with the Baltimore Orioles, of the
international League. here to-day. The
makeshifters won by score of 10
to s.
Schaefer first cavorted about in right
field, where he neatly grabbed trio
of skyscrapers. In FIVE efforts at bat
he poled out a single and double, ac-
counting for four of his teams runs.
Germany was permitted TO try out
his side-arm motion in the pitching box
in the ninth inning; but il was soon
proved that he had no more cunning as
a moundsman. After being held in
check for eight innings Bill Smiths
men pounded the mimic's offerings
freely. gathering four runs.
Russell. a Baltimore product, pitched
eight innings for the Yankees and held
Baltimore 70 four scattered hits.
Thornmahlen performed effectively
against the major leaguers until the
fifth inning. when a rain of safeties,
netting seven runs, drove him 70 the
clubhouse. Sherman then finished the
game in rather good style.
Every Yankee. except Captain Peck
inpaugh. treated himself to one or
more of the fourteen hits made off
the Oriole twirlers.
