the evening, each occupying Il big cush-
Toned seat in the car. Mary wished
to know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five minutes explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in n bed, made over
their two seats, which would be com
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock,
At the next stop n man entered the
a and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up Of the
seat was for n time enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
this question
Mamma, If we sleep here, and all

are sitting, where is that man going
to sleep?"
"That man." and the rest in the car

were peeved. Evers came to bat in
the sixth with the bases filled and two
out. Johnny tried to coax n pass and
the count was two balls and one strike
when Jake offered n doubtful pitch.
Johnny insisted it was n ball, but Rig
Ter called it a strike.
"How about that pitch, Jake; wasn't
It n ball?' shouted the Quaker second
baseman after flying out on the next
one.

who was smarting ver other deci-
slons.
"There you are now !" yelled Johnny

Tex Jones, who used to play with

chased up the ladder at the side of the
water tank, reached in. got the ball
that had come 10 the surface Of the
water, and from his perch threw home,
getting the runner by a step.

FIND PHYSICAL WEAK SPOTS
Many Baseball Players Have Athletic
Hearts and Flat Feet-Others
Have Broken Toes.

The physical examination for the
army reveals the fact that n very large
number of ball players are affected
with athletic heart. which is a bar tc
enlistment. II is claimed that every
man over twenty-five is troubled iT
that way. Then there are broken tOes
without number among the average
players on the average team. There
Is also usually a broken leg or arm
crooked elbows, tOrn or misplaced llg
aments and various other ailments.
In one respect alone players will
stand the test and that is eyesight
II is certain that hardly n player un
der t~hirty-one will fail in this. If he
does he has succeeded in foollng his
manager, since the slightest impair
ment of the vision ruins him as a ball
player.
1t probably would not be suspected
but many players will be rejected on
account Of fiat feet. For some reason
probably half of the ball players lack
normal insteps. Bunions also are par.
ticularly common. Both the fiat feet
and bunions are caused by wearing
baseball shoes, which have always
shown a tendency to 'remake" the
feet In a few years.

Some time ago Jack Coombs, the

what batter he found 1t hardest to

When asked to name the batter who
gave him the most trouble, he named
George Burns, the Giants left fielder.

BATTERS CAUSE MUCH DELAY
One Reason Given for Unnecessary
Time Consumed in Ball Games
No Good Reason for Il.

The attention of umpires is called to
the fact that a growing practice on
the part Of batters is one reason why
baseball games sometimes are longer
than they need be.
The habit Of batters stepping out Of
the box for little or no cause Is spread
ing and there is no good reason why
It should be allowed. What is meant
is batters, In n moment of petulance
at real or fancied d~eliberateness on the
part Of the pitcher, stepping out of the
box and thus wasting nor time.
At the least sign of slowness or hes
itancy by the pitcher, out of the box
steps the batter, much as a peevish
child might be expected to do. It's a
childish thing to do, anyway.
