shortstops, played in 151 games
He was credited with 286 put
outs, ACT assists, and SO errors
averaging 5.57 chances per game
Though making fourteen more
errors than Peck in three fewer
games, Sewell comes closest tc
equaling the Washington veteran
in covering ground.

assists and 81 errors for an aver
age of 4.67 in 139 games.
Galloway had 235 putouts, 4Os

Outside the window a row of be- lated hollyhocks stood swaying In the summer rain which came down in long slanting lines. Inside two or three girls sat, their plans for the afternoon frustrated.

COMPOSER HALTS OPERA
Steals Scores When Theatre Can't
 Stage It As He Wants It.

The musical world of Budapest Is excited over most unusual incident. Eugene Hubay, the violinist, com poser of the opera, The Fiddler of of Ceremonial" recently wrote a new opera called Anna Kerenini." It was to have been sung in the Budapest state opera house, but the minister of economy restricted the expenditure on the scenery. costumes. and so on, necessary to such a production.
 Hubay attended some of the re- hearsals and, finding both the singers and the production unsatisfactory, proposed to withdraw his opera. The state director refused to permit this, Then, aghast at the probability of a bad performance, Hubay employed a ruse. He appeared at the opera one afternoon and asked the concierge for the scores, saying that he in tended to make some corrections. The unsuspicious porter, knowing nothing of the discord between the composer and director, gave the scores to Hu- bay.
 He now refuses to return them and persists in his determination to pre- vent what he believes would be an unsatisfactory performance. Fearing force will be used against him, he has appealed to Governor Horthy.- Foreign Correspondence in New York World.

By HELEN KENDALL THE INVITING STEPS

To my mind, the steps leading up to the entrance of any house should be like welcoming hands extended to arriving visitors. Steps should not be mere cCnveniences. They should have an air of easy informality and comraderie. Have you ever seen a group of laughing, chattering young people leave the large porch chairs and tumble into a bunch on the steps? Some on the upper step, others down a peg or two, all with their hands clasped round their knees, humming, chaffing, carefree.
 So the wise housemother will fur nish her steps as prettily and invit ingly as she does her living room or guest chamber. The steps must si- lently invite the passing neighbor to come in and drop down for few moments, and make passersby wish they, too, were friends of the people behind the steps.
 The secret of pleasant summer steps lies, of course, in the cushions used. They must be plentiful bright, and oh, so plump No thin, scrawny cushions permitted, and none of these hard-boiled straw mats, either. They'll have to be brought in at night, of course, or when 1t rains. but meanwhile they should bask on the steps looking as comfortable as If they were of eiderdown.
 They must not be of eiderdown. however. The pillows for steps must be stout, durable. and appropriate to their lowly position in life. No silk, sation, or pale -colored cretonnes will do. A soft ratine or terry cloth is about the best material I know of for this purpose. It isn't harsh like canvas or similar heavy fabrics, and 1t comes in beautiful patterns and fast colors. Stuffed with plenty of cotton batting or mattress wool, these cushions will stand the hard est of wear and tossing about.
 Make them of engagingly differ ent shapes-Gblong pillows with tas- sells at the corners, round cushions with petal tops, long roll pillows to be held in the lap for elbows to rest or.! The gayer the better, and the more the merrieri

 And, they shriek- ed at each other and started fight ing so hard, 1t was easy for little Ned Gnome, who was a very good friend of the Raggedys, to slip in the Witche' kitchen window and cut the strin gs which held the R a g g e d y s.

SHERMAN WAS PIQUED
Civil War Leader Embarrassed By
 Grants Son at ConstantinOplc

General Sherman, when making a tour of inspection of the military es- tablishments of Europe, came into Constantinople and brought to the minister George II. Boker, the noted playwright, 1S71,) a new crop of problems.
 Chief among these was young Frederick Grant, just out of West Point, who came as an aid to Gen eral Sherman. and who was a very attractive young man of 21. The sul- tan, hearing that the presidents son was coming, conceived of the event a S a visit from the crown price of the United States, and he insisted upon considering General Sherman in the light of a caretaker to the young sovereign.
 It took all Boker's tact to handle the situation, for General Sherman was touchy and Lieutenant Grant contributed now and then, thought lessly, to the contretemps.
 On one occasion the Sultan was taking the air on the Bosporus and

his boat passed that of the visiting party. The Sultan at that time never spoke to any one, but his gaze was in itself a salute, and he fixed that gaze unmistakably upon Lieutenant Grant.
 When the boat passed, Grant turned impulsively to sherman and cried out: He spoke to me! l saw him" sherman was disgusted. Yes, he did" he groyled, and I'll spank H--Arthur HObsOn quinn, in Scribners Magazine.

He ran out into his garden and picked whole lot of candy COW cred cookies and then ran out to the ice cream soda water fountain and brought in 16 glasses of ice cream sodas.
 Granny Grounding knew very well that the Raggedys would be very hungry and thirsty after their exciting capture and escape from the mean little old Witches.
 Wont the Witches be surprised when they quit fighting and dis cover that we have escaped Rag gedy Ann laughed as she slipped her fourth glass of ice cream soda.
 Yes! We were surprised" the two mean little old Witches howled as they came rushing out of the bushes towards the group of friends.
 "Quick!' Granny Groundhog cried. Into my house all of you. And with a push, he sent the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome flying into his house. Then he slammed the door and put his back to 1t.
