That Car.

With sundry rattles, clankings and
strange noises, the motorcar of obso-

its head to behave in a most uncompli-

in a quick succession of impatient
jerks, it came to dead stop.
Out jumped young and handsome

into better temper by pulling various
levers. Alas! the car remained i'm

That is indicated by the form shown

is hitting the ball harder than a year

all. He is playing a shorter center
field than a year ago.
Spoke, as he is universally known in

fielding when he adopted a system Of

QUIT TELEGRAPHING

Kid Gleason says George
Uhle, the semi-pro star who is
trying to win a berth with the
Cleveland Indians, may make a
great pitcher-When he quits
telegraphing to the batter what
he is going to throw. Gleason
says Dick Kerr had the same
fault when he joined the White
SOx in the training camp, and
the Kid had a serious talk with
Kerr about it.
"YOu throw your fast one
with a side arm motion, your
curve with an overland throw"
Gleason said to Kerr. "You
can't get by that way"
II got by all right in the
Southern and American Associ-

'That may be so but you will
never get by in this league if
you don't stop telegraphing,"
retOrted Gleason and he set out
to show Kerr how to turn the
trick.

Lawyer Evidently Was Well Ac-

His Long-Winded Friend.

C. H. Murphy relates the story of
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in
the days of his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered:

"I'll stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
MY Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument l
would like you to join me at the hO-

The lawyer halted In the midst Of
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
"And now, may 1t please the court
