cided that Mrs. Leoniff's blanche was
really her child, and Mrs. Leoniff
didn't know what to think. There were
consultations, investigation and ques-
tioning Of hospital records and physi-
clans, but the only information to be
gained there was the stereotyped hos
pital reply, that it was not possible
that any hospital attache or hospital
could make a mistake. So the matter
was carried to Magistrate Healy, who
examined the hospital and other wit
nesses, drove the hospital physician to
admit that an exchange might have oc-
CURED there, although he still chung to
the general proposition that mistakes"
and hospital are terms not to be put
together, and then, after he had made
some investigations on his own initia-
tive, the magistrate awarded the Lee
oniff baby to Mrs. Felner and the Fell
ner child to Mrs. Leoniff He did this
because there was striking resemblance
between the one child and twelve
year-old boy of the Leoniff family, and
between the other baby and her mother.

uniforms clean. They must restrict
themselves to So per day for meals,
and they must live at any hotel the
club selects. They will not be allowed
to ride in taxicabs at the clubs ex-
pense.
1t suspended by an umpire, play
er will be dealt with according to the
recommendations of President Tener
to the board of directors. There will
be no appeal from the decision of the
board. In addition to this, the player
who receives an injury outside of the
service of his club will have to stand
for his salary being Topped off while
he is absent. And any player who
misbehaves in public, whether on or
off the field, is liable to fine and sus-
pension or both.
The new rules were adopted by the
league to improve the quality of the
game and to serve also as war meas
ure.
They show without a doubt that the
magnates feel they have the whip
hand again. And with the Fed league

ternity subdued, it looks as though

surgeon, and his mania led him tc
"keep his hand In practice" by operat-
ing on his wife and children.
Bolton obtained bottle of chloro-
form and, mounting an ironing board
on the backs of chairs, he put his wife
to sleep for the purpose of operating
for the removal of an imagined cam
cerous growth. The woman did not
explain why she submitted, but when
found by investigating nurses she was
suffering from missions made in three
places. A dangerous wound had been
inflicted in her abdomen, another in
her hip and the third in her right leg.
Bolton, after cutting his wife, had
taken his eight-year-old daughter and
had operated upon her, making numer-
Gus incisions with crude collection of
old razors.
"Why did you do it," he was asked
in court.

iI operated to scrape the bones"
A younger child, boy flour years,
was just recovering from an anesthet-
ic when the nurses arrived. He, too,
had been operated upon.

ALARM CLOCK DRAWS FIRE
American Patrol Leader Strung 1t on
Wire in Front of German
Trenches.

Paris.-Americans who had been
trying to draw the fire of certain Ger
man batteries used an alarm clock to
fool Fritz and caused the Germans
useless expenditure of large quantities
of machine gun and rifle ammunition.
In order to fool the Germans an Amer
lean patrol leader tucked an alarm
clock under his arm and crept into
"No Mans Land" in the darkness,
fastening the clock to wire.
Soon the alarm rang, whereupon the
Germans opened fire. The alarm had
been so arranged that the clock cut
loose internationally, and each time
drew a violent fire from the enemy.
Meanwhile the Americans rested In
their trenches and enjoyed a hearty
laugh.

This is the most recent photograph
of Miss Clare Cassel, whose return to
the ranks of amateur tennis has
brought joy to the great host of fol-
lowers of the game. Before she left
competition Miss Cassel ranked among
the first ten women experts on the
courts. She was forced to forego play
ing in 1916 because she had given pro-
fessional skating instruction, which de-
barred her from amateur tennis COM
petition. She has refrained from pro-
fessional sport activity for more than
a year and as result is now restored
to her amateur status.

OLD BASEBALLs ARE USEFUL
Yarn in Wornout Pills Good for Knit
ting Sweaters for Soldier Boys
Now In France.

A new use has been found for used
baseballs, the discovery being made
by President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburgh Pirates when he recently
received a letter from patriotic
young woman reading as follows:
THE young women of our associa-
ton are knitting sweaters, helmets,
socks and other articles for the boys
of the American expeditionary force
In France. AS special favor we are
going to ask you if you would kindly
donate to us all the wornout baseballs
that may come into the possession of
the Pittsburgh club this year.
I'VE have experimental with the
yarn inside of the professional balls
used by teams of the National league
and find that 1t cannot be excelled for
knitting work.
IF you can see your way clear to
grant this request we feel that you
will not only be doing us great favor,
but as well rendering patriotic serv-
Ice for the American soldiers over
there"

MANAGER HENDRICKS
TAKES SUGGESTIONS
New Pilot of st. Louis Cardinals
Gives His Players Power.
Methods Of Mound City Leader in Di-
recting- Team Are Being Closely
Watched by critics-Refdses
to "Ride" His Men.

No person in the major leagues, per-
haps, has been so closely watched by
recognized baseball critics thus far this
season as has Jack Hendricks, who, af-
ter twelve years of successful plotting
in the minor leagues came to the st.
Louis Nationals this year as manager.
What are his tactics? What meth
DDS does he pursue to win? Is he a
car or is he gentle? Is he good los
err? Will his men work for him? These
are only few of the questions that
have been asked and the first days of
the season have seen most Of them
answered.
Hendricks let it be known at the
start of the season that he is not the
one to refuse suggestions. He reserves
final Judgment for himself, but players
who venture to tell their manager what
should be done under certain circum-
stances are not rebuked-for Hendricks
is not car. He realizes that he is
new to the league, that he is practical
ly unacquainted with the players and
the strategy opposing him and he has
asked that there be no modesty among
his men. 81
Nor is Hendricks the type Of man.
ager who drives his players. Steady
as to composure, quick thinking, he re-
fuses to ride" his men for misplays.
This does not mean that he is not crit
ical, for he tells every man of his mis-
takes and impresses him with the. fact
that he doesn't wish them repeated.
Unlike Fielder Jones, who pilots the
major league competitor in st. Louis,
Hendricks does not keep record Of
plays. He depends entirely on his
memory.

Cold Analysis, and Orders
New Deal.

New York.-Was it maternal in
stinct, or cold analysis, that led to the
adjudication that Blanche Leoufff was
Annie Felner, and that Annie Felner
was Blanche Leoniff. Anyway, the
matter was brought to the attention of
Magistrate Healy of New York city, a
short time ago, by the mother of An
ME Felner, and, after the court had in
yestigated, Judgment was recorded
declaring the identity of each baby,
and there was a new distribution Of
the youngsters to conform to the iudg-
-ment.
Trouble Began Seven Months Ago.
The trouble began seven months ago,
when Mrs. Minnie Leoniff and Mrs.
Gussie Felner, both of the East side,
New York. We're inmates of the mater
nifty ward Of Gouverneur hospital, and
to each, on the same day, was born a
girl child. Mrs. Leoniff wasn't in con.
dition at once to nurse her child, so it
was given for short time to Mrs. Eel
ner, who agreed to nurse both children,
temporarily. In day or two Mrs.
Leoniff became competent to take care
of her child, and it--or "a baby"--was
taken from Mrs. Felner and given her.
Later, both women left the hospital
for their homes, each with a baby.
Grew Bit Suspicious.
No sooner had Mrs. Felner come
home than her sister declared that the
child she was caressing certainly
wasn't hers. And in time she grew a
bit suspicious herself. And in the Lee
oniff household, also, doubts began to
arise. The little Blanche was so unlike
her rosy-cheeked, dark, Jewish broth
ers and sisters; she was blonde, had
light blue eyes and instead of being
boisterous and robust, was slight and
pale. She was the marvel and the adj
miration, and also the puzzle Of the
household.
Then, a few weeks ago, there was
an accidental meeting of the moth
ers, each with her baby, on Grand

STRICT RULES FOR PLAYERS

The National league has started
something. The new code which the
players are supposed to follow is by
far the most strict that has ever been
handed down by any league, and the
staid old National has set precedent
In framing 1t.
According to the new rules, National
league players who flirt with whisky
to excess or burn too many cigarettes
to suit the ideas Of their managers
may be handled severely, and the
league will uphold any manager in
such case.
