little experience on the hot corner.
The budding first basemen. including
Pete Bahan, are honest to- goodness
beginners.
BY the end Of the week DOrait
hopes to have the personnel of his
team fairly well determined. Sullivan
and MOhardt started the merry battle
for the third base job yesterday aft
ernoon. Sullivan has had more ex-
perience as an infelder than Mo-
hardt and flashes some brilliant form
on certain occasions. His cratic
displays however, offset his good
work TO some extent MOhardt is
comparatively new to the infield. His
fielding has been ordinarily good, but
he is possessed Of n wonderful arm
and is able TO whip the ball to first
with bullet-like speed. He is a
conner.
Chief Meyer was denied the op-
pOrtunity of calling five outs on a
side in one inning yesterday after
noon. The candidates confined their
activities TO batting and fielding
practice. The weather was ideal and
the inffelders went at it in merry
fashion. Fly-chasing was a favorite
with the gardeners who had a reg
ular holiday.

way the problem OF a famous beauty

in her charms. When a little son
is born he hates the child for its
claim upon the mothers time. The
mother finally rebels at the inEuman
treatment to which her husband
subjects her and seeks refuge with
the artist for whom she had previ-
Ously posed. How the mother pro-
tects her child against its father is
