Barber shop, base ball, sophomore
and, sometimes soldier quarters are
very fond OF curdling the night air
with an alleged song. the touching
sentiment of which seems to be that
Some folks think niggers won't steal
but I caught one. by gosh. In my

either. but We have caught some. by
golly. in very compromising circum-
stances. Steve O'Neill is considerable
catcher. The Cleveland backstop is a
grand worker. and totes an excellent
arm. He pegs out the feet-footed
don't bother him unless they have
their guard up. Steve flags the boys
about as often as Ray Schalk. and
Schalk Is the receiver by which all
things backstopping are measured
In 1915. O'Neill actually outpegged
the Chicago knight of the windpad
to the extent OF turning back IT'S
thieves in lis games, whereas Ray
stopped only 159 in 139 contests. Last
year and the year before that the
pair ran dead heats.
These dates put in a grand boost
for O'Neill, yet he Is the American
League catcher on whom the eight
bases were stolen in one inning. This
is one Of the classic innings in the his
tory of base ball All record books
find place for its sordid details. Had
O'Neill been, catching pitchers versed
in the art Of driving runners back
to the bag, this calamity never would
have befallen him. He was being
bombarded by green fingers, how
ever. and thus became the goat of the
BOBBY catching championship of all
time. The records never will fall to
curse him with this fatal note: Eight
bases stolen in one inning Off Steve

merely negative. In those days pitch
ers had to double in the outfield. One
day Charley Sweeney was ordered to
move from the slab to the outfleld,

Sweeney rebelled. left the game and
Jumped the club. That season Sweeney
had famed nineteen Boston players
in a game and the stunt had gone to
his head. The team had only eight
men and Radbourne. 1t was decided
to disband when Radbourne walked
up and calmly announced. It can win
the pennant all right" Then followed
the greatest pitching feat in all base
ball history. A base ball pioneer tells

"The great pitcher had to pay the
price. No arm could stand that awful
strain without agony. MorninA after

FAILURE TOSTUDY
GAME BIG FAULT
Bill Donovan Cites Chief Mis-
take of Players on Mod
ern Base Ball Clubs.

Last spring the Tigers appeared to
be stronger than ever before in their
history In addition to excellent
physical condition and extraordinary
talent. they were blessed with the con-
fidence that never is amiss They
honestly expected to win the 1918
pennant. Talking with Bill Donovan
about 1t the smiler mentioned a weak
ness which he declared was common
to all modern clubs. and which leaves
a pennant opening for any good club
that wants to take advantage of 1t.
He said that whereas the Tigers who
did win pennants seldom allowed
day to pass without long conference
on tactics and the weakness of rival
clubs. and whereas players always
talked of such things Informally, in
stead of the hundred and one interests
that now feature their gossip, this
tactical preparation for games is now
a thing Of the past and hardly con-
sidered in good form.
Wisdom Of Jennings.
One evening during the tour which
| the Tigers and Giants made together
in the spring of 1917 New York scribes
gave birthday dinner to John Nc
Graw. Among the guests were certain
members of the Detroit party. There
were no speeches-just a thoroughly
enjoyable and memorable fanfest. Dur
ing the dinner Hughey gossiped'in in this
vein:
Il know that McGraw will bear me
out in what / am about to say. Players
nowadays do not study the game as
they did In the nineties If there is
anything the matter with base ball.
that is what ails 1t. You will think
more of the Orioles the sore we see
OF other teams. In their years of
greatness the orioles were composed
of young. quick-thinking athletes. They
not only played the game on the field.
but they reviewed 1t at night. They
figured out ways to beat plays and to
break up plays. They were quick TO
take advantage Of an opening.

MUCH FARM WORK NOW BEING DONE BY

 PROBLEM.

Women are doing a large share of the farm work of the country, ac- cording to officials of the Young Wo- mems Christian Association. which has maintained special secretaries to assist women and girls so engaged. High School girls in New York are threshing grains and gathering fruit. Polish women in New Jersey have picked the fruit crop; college girls in Ohio nave been doing general farm work, while both girls and boys in the state of Washington have been gathering fruit.
 Recruiting farm labor is not a part of the work of the Young Women's s Association but it has sought to aid the women and girls engaged in it by showing the best ways of caring for farm laborers and their children The Association seeks to lift the re- sponsibilHy of housing and feeding the laborers from the farmers wives
 The Association plans to continue it's work of this kind through the Land Service Committee, and in in stances where there has been a de- mand for labor it has investigated certain occupations where business Is not so brisk in the fall. with view of finding where additional la Dor may be secured

WOMEN WORKERS MAKE
 MUNITIONS FOR UNCLE SAM

Women are engaged in making munitions in twentytwo miIuitioo cantonments built by the United States. Little publicity has been giv- en to the location of the plants. but most of them are located at quite a distance from cities or towns. Those near towns are so much larger than the towns that accommodations have been provided for the women em. ployes at the plants.
 Upon the request of the United States government, at each of these nunition factories, War Service Clubs have been organized by the Young Women's Chrisbian Associa ton, and a secretary with sufficient assistance has been placed in charge.
 In all cases provisions have been made for recreation of the women. and some social advantages have been given. In some cases a cafe. teria, where the women could buy sat isfactory food at acceptable prices have also been inaugunated.
 Female labor in making explo- hives has been found satisfactory but government officials early recog- nized the peculiar problems involved in the employment of large mum bers of women. and have first call ed on the Young Women's Christian Association for aid and attributed much of tue success of the plants 10 the aid so received
