McGraw has star boxman he can send in with the certainty of holding the enemy down. Palmero, the Cuban left handler, has pleased the fans by his work so far. But none of the other hurIers has enthused McGraw. The Giant leader has seen his club make four or five runs in a, game and still lose,

AROUND THE ~~~~~ SPORT LOOP &

the time several big league clubs were bidding for O'Toole, was with Toronto at Newfield park yesterday. Pitts burgh bought O'Too1e and Kelly from Pirates sent Kelly back to the Inter national league. The big fellow didn't show much pepper yesterday.
 Manager Joe Birmingham of Toronto was much impressed by the work of Joe Byrne, the Bridgeport third base man. Birmingham liked the battin g style of the Delaware county league boy and also admired the cool way the youngster put the ball on runners at third.
 Cook, the first Toronto twirler. is a crafty veteran. He was in the Amer jean association for years until the Giants took him. NcGraw sent him to Toronto last year.
 Manager Danny Murphy of New Haven has secured OutfeIder flick man from the Brooklyn Nationals. Hickman is a former Federal 1eaguer and Murphy says he looked promising in the outlaw ranks.
 It is difficult to believe your eyes when you gaze at the standing and see the New York Americans leading the league. But the Yankees have been playing steady ball. It looks as if they would finish in the first di- vision this season.
 Some doubt is expressed about Eddie Mahan making good with the Boston Braves when he joins them after grad uating from Harvard in June. Walter Clarkson was a better pitcher when at Harvard than Mahan, yet Clarkson was a failure in tho big show.
 Baumann, the Yankees great atflit, player, made himself more solid thar ever, by his double which won Iast Saturdays game in Washington Cleveland and Cincinnati want Bau- mann<lput there is not a chance of the Yankees letting him go. If he were better fielder the former Providence l player would be in there every day

overhanging caves add to the idea of

In small houses, cased openings are
becoming more and more popular to
join up the rooms in the front part
of the house, With a small home it is
impossible to get very large roomc,
and such an arrangement may be de-
sirable for entertaining. This is &C.
complished by using cased openings.
The reception hall, living room, and
dining room are connected in this way
here. The arrangement gives a large
unobstructed floor space along the
front and one side of the house. The
cased opening between the dining
room and the living room is so wide
that it makes these two rooms into
one large room. The lighting of these
rooms is taken care of in good shape

Storage space is often at premium
in small houses and the closets be-

WOES OF MUNITION WORKERS
Powder House Jag Frequent Attic
tion-Chronic State Of Nerv-

Alcohol is greatly feared by the
powder people and rightly so. But
they cannot eliminate strange NAL
ady that appears among their work
men in the powder mills AS subter-
ranean labor in compressed air pro-
produces ''the bends" work in the
powder mills creates the powder
house Jag which is described as fol-
lows by Merle Crowell in the Ameri-
can Magazine.
"A powder house is no place for an
unsteady hand or an unseeing eye, but
the powder house Jag a freak prod
uct of the plants themselves, is some
thing which no amount of diligence
can forefend. Large quantities of al
cohol are used in the making of
smokeless powder, and the air in the
shops frequently gets heavy with its
fumes. Men have been known to leave
the plants Keeling and stupeffed, while
one serious accident recently was
caused because a fumefuddled work
man threw on both the high pressure
and the low pressure brakes at the
same time.
"a weird nervous disorder that
steals upon powder makers has been
called powderitis.' Treading all day
with rubber-soled shoes in shop
which a vagrant spark will change in
to crate, they get keyed up to a
nervous tension that never runs down,
with the result that even when off
duty they nearly jump through their
collars at an unexpected flash of light.
Although powder, unless it is con-
fined, does not explode at spark I'M
der normal conditions, powder shop
may be changed into an inferno of

Serbians Good Infantry.

All Serbian peasants are great walk
ers. A servant, given a short leave,
will think nothing of footing it to his
home, five and twenty miles OF, and
walking back after short day spent
with his family. 1t is quite in the or
binary way Of their business for both
men and women to be two days on the
road to market. Owing to their re-
markable marching powers Serbian
troops are modified and moved with
surprising rapidity, in spite OF the

And then they march light. With lit

was made, but despite these distress

tractive and cozy porch will always
help in making any house more pleas

ways so as to fit in with the general
scheme of the house design. Some
times they are set back under the

from the house proper and built under
a separate roof, which of course con-
meets up with the main roof of the
