OF his fellow players with the Browns.
1t was q habit with Fielder Jones to
hold a meeting in the clubhouse just
before going out on the field. Fielder
would talk over with his men about
the weak points of the opposition ano
tell the pitcher he intended using
where to pitch to each man.
After Fielder had finished his ora
ton Dave would Immediately get on
the "old soap box" as the players say,
and tell how he baffied this and that
player with certain shoots.
1t sometimes happened. however,
that Davenport would be sent to the
mound. The players on the bench
would eagerly watch the tall Texan.
He had a habit of tossing up a slow
ball quite often, and invariably some
player on the opposing side would con-
meet for a terrific wallop to the fence.
The fact that Davenport was pounded
hard and yanked out of the game on a
number of occasions never caused the
big fellow to cease telling his team
mates how to play the game. Dave
meant well and his teammates enjoyed
the act immensely.

WHEAT OF BROOKLYN
Is NATURAL BATTER
Slugger Crouches, Shifts Feet
and Kicks Up Much Dirt.
Has Decidedly Awkward Motions
While at Bat, But is In Position to
Hit Anywhere-He Is Called a
Free Swlnger.

What Is the difference between form
and style? In other words. what is
the difference between a natural pro-
pensity to do the right thing in sport
and the doing of that thing In an easy
and graceful fashion? asks Thomas
s. Rice. baseball critic on the Brooklyn
Eagle.
We have discoursed upon Helnie
Zimmerman as the naturally easy and
graceful ball player, and have given
him credit for the game. Now come
we to distinguished athlete who is
very much different. The same is Fac
cheus D. Wheat, left fielder of the
Brooklyn Superbas.
Zimmerman would delight the golfer,
because Zim keeps his feet In precise
~ the theoretical position for doing
the best work. Zach stands well up TO
the plate, but has decidedly awkward
motions while there. He shifts his
feet cropches bit, kicks the dirt
from behind him-and hits the ball
better than Zim. How come? The ex-
perts on golf form would wag their
heads at the sight Of Zach, OF duck
their heads out of the way of one Of
his terrific smashes.
But the graceful and easy stuff does
not fool the old-time baseball player or
manager any more than does the
awkward stuff. Uncle Wilbert Rob
inson of the Brooklyn Superbas says
Wheat is one Of the most natural bat
tiers he ever beheld.
"You can tell he is a batter as soon
as he steps to the plate" says Uncle
Wilbert. "Zach's every movement of the
shoulders and arms is well timed. He
may kick up some dirt and give the
groundkeeper unnecessary labor, but as
soon as the ball starts toward him you
can see that his limbs are free.
"Wheat is called free-swinger, and,
being left-handed, has natural ten
dency to pull to the right"

FAMILY HOTEL" CAUGHT ON
London, Idea Has Met With
Enormous Success.

The first family" or Temperance"
hotel In London, the forerunner of
tens of thousands of such hostelries in
all parts of the world, was opened in
Ooyent Garden about 145 years ago.
An inn for the more or less permanent
accommodation Of families, and minis
bar. was an undreamed-of thing, and
other hotel-keepers laughed the prob
ect to seorn. Despite their derision.
the scheme was successful, and made
a snug fortune for its founder, David
Low. London now has hundreds Of
family and temperance hotels.
The edifice in which Low started
his hotel Is still standing. The build
Ing was erected early in the seven
teenth century, and was originally the

building, it is said, and it was the
scene of many other noteworthy gath

TOM LYNCH AS UMPIRE

Tom Lynch, who was the pres
ident of the National league In
1913, was at one time a famous
umpire. U
His manner, dignity and cour-
tesy impressed all he met, and
his personality dominated the
whole field. ss
When he made a decision
there was such positiveness
about it that no one questioned
1t.
No one ever saw Lynch around
the hotels at night. He always
held himself aloof from the PLAY
ers, and they seldom caught q
glimpse of him until he came
on the field to umpire the game.
He was known for his general
good conduct and honesty.

PriceIess Persian Ruos.

1t Is well known fact that an ORR
entail never sets foot upon his rug
with even the soft sandals that he
wears. When his foot is set upon his
rug it is entirely bare, and this is the
reason why oriental rugs woven hun
dreds of years ago are still perfectly
preserved. The hunting rugs Of Persia
have great historical value. as they
depict automatically how the phoenix
and elephant were hunted in ancient
days. Mounted hunters pursuing the
lion, deer. and other creatures, both
fabulous and real, form the ground

poetry must fit in with the music and
is generally of an amusing character.
