Willie Macfarlane, who is a great
artist at the short rlln-up shots,
makes 1t q point that he shall put
nearly all his weight on his left leg.
Whatever body turn there Is comes
almost altogether in the forward part
of the stroke, and consists Of right
side movement. His firmly set left
side accommodates this right-side
movement without looseness.

CHAMPIONS AND THEIR CHANCES
No. 6.-Tbe New York Yankees.


THE ball club that broke up the
J. American League before Septem-
Der last year and then smothered
the Cubs in four straight starts ought
to be one of the hot favorites for 1888
1t has been said that Babe Ruth may
not play in a hundred games and that
others may be uncertain quantities
but it will take something approaching
an earthquake to pull this team from
the top story.
In the first place, there are Ruth
and Gehrig-two sons of dynamite. In
the second, there are Ruffing, Gomez,
Allen and Pipgras.
There Is winning combination
which needs little outside help-what
one could label the pitching and the
punch
1t might be said that Ruth is now
in his twentieth year of service and his
thirty ninth year of life-that Joe Sew
ell can hardly be expected to keep up
his fine play at third-that Lazzeri Is
something of a gamble-that any mem
ber of the pitching staff may stumble
into an off season.
These things are all possible. But the
reserve strength is there to plug any
gaps.
And when the season opens you'll
find Ruth and Gehrig still driving In
more runs than almost any other COM
bination-and the betting is that you'll
find Gomez, Allen, Ruffing and Pipgras
winning their share of games.
TONNIE MACK believes he will get
~ much better pitching next season,
and that his Athletics will move to
battle with much greater speed. Grove
Is almost sure to win Is ball games
25 or more. If some one could steam
up George Earnshaw this combination
would be the greatest In base ball.
Washington, under young Cronin will
be something of an experiment.
Cleveland should be better. and so
should Detroit.
But the job of cutting down the
Yankees in 1888 won't be any too sim
pie at any time.
They still have too much power and
too much pitching.

OIL HEIRESS TO SEPARATE FROM
 ITALIAN PRINCE
Janet Sn0wden Was Mar ried Only Five Days Ago
 Now She Is Seeking
 Divorce

New York; Aug 23-UP)- Janet Snowden. oil heiress. has de- cided her sudden marriage five days ago to Prince di Sirriggnano don Francesca Caravita of Italy was a "combination of youth and too much haste" and will seek an annulment. The end of the sensa- tional romance that eliminated in a quiet marriage by a license bu- rean clerk after they had known each other only two weeks was confirmed to-day at Miss Snow den's apartment.
 A dark-haired woman who de- clined to identify herself beyond saying that she and the princess had "always lived together" said: Janet is very young. She hardly knows her own mind. There is no other man." The plea for annul- ment, 1t was learned, will cite false entries on the marriage license. which gave her age as 25 although she is only 10.
 Miss Snowden's older sister, Marian, is married to Prince Ros- pigliosi, who is an old friend of Prince Caravfta. Late last night Prince Rospigliosi insisted, there had been no quarrel and that his sister-in-law would return to her husband.

Local Barbers
 Signed Pledge
 Says Possemato
Should Live Up to It Now-Even Had Their Code Amended to Allow 48-FiOur Week-JOhnsOn's Ruling and Not State Barber Commissions Should Be Observed

gentlemen's benefit, that as usual he is barking up the wrong tree and as much as dislike being drawn into a controversy, especial ly with one who does not first check his statements, believe am duty bound to correct him and others who are not familiar with the MIRA pledge that MT Travisano and others so periodically signed.
 When codes were first discussed in July the barbers along with bootblacks, dishwashers, porters, etc, were placed in the presidents blanket code, namely 40 hours a week, and many of the local bar bers in order to display the blue eagle applied for and signed their pledges to work their employees 40 hours and pay them not less than $13 per week. That agreement was violated by most of all bar bers and nothing has been said.
 Under date of August 13, 1883, the Journeymen Barbers' Union filed a request with General Hugh $. Johnson for the substitution of the 48 hour week in place of the 40 plan and the administrator ap- proved the following substitutes for Paragraph 1 and ? of the presi- dents agreement:
 "1. No barber and no employe can be employed more than 4s hours a week.
 "'2. No operator of beauty shop or other employees can work more than AS hours weekly.
 "'3. No barber or beautician can employ any person under 16 years of age.'
 "The maximum hours apply to any barber or beautician actively working at the chair, whether the shop be one chair. two chairs, or more. The owner of that shop can only .work 48 hours in any one week. The penalty is left to the local administrator. Therefore If Mir ,Travisano signed the MIRA pledge, he should for once, live up to a pledge that he made to the president of the United States. He should be working 48 hours now and not after September 1.
 He should pay attention to the ruling of General Johnson and not to the three-headed barbers' com mission. The Master Barbers and Journeymen are only trying to re- duce the business hours of barber shops to 63 hours to make 1t easier for the one-chair shops and then they shout.
 "In closing I wish to state that we have committee who will check and report all violations of the MIRA pledges and we warn all who have signed that pledge to live up to 1t in all sincerity and not for publicity, for if they are caught they will receive publicity not to their liking.
 "Signed,
