The spring girl Is about ready to moke he* bow. {• • ■ Milliners say that the else of worn* en’s hats will be smaller this spring. - Mb* what about the bills? The war between the hobble skirt and the high car step goes on in many | cities with varying results. The weather man should realise that anticipation is nearly as bad as realisation and let up on It The firecracker trust In China can he trusted to make the republic’s Independence a day a noisy holiday. An oculist tells us that alcohol hurts the eyesight, and yet we have known It to make men see double. Burglars In Gary, Ind., stole a house the other night Next thing we know they will kidnap the village lockup. The woman who Is dassllng eastern society by wearing diamonds on her slippers is certainly well heeled. Hens can be taught to talk, according to a Washington scientist, but what we want is less talk and more eggs. Fighting a duel with wax bullets Is a noble sport, but why not use perfume sprays and make it all the rage In Paris? A New Jersey man has been sent to Jail for stealing a loaf of bread, but think of all the advertising he 1b getting out of It _ —: Football rules have been changed again, but up to date no step has been taken to equip the rooters with M" T<m silencers. A doctor tells us that anger generates sugar in the blood, and yet we bave often met amiable men with sweet dispositions. A Missouri court has granted a woman $2 for the loss of ..her husband’s affections. The husband probably feels flattered. Every wedding is declared to be a culmination of a romance. It Is useless to try to change the pet phrases of the newspaper man. - An Austrian archduke is to visit New York during the coming summer. More trouble for those oh the outer fringe of the Four Hundred. The Japanese ambassador tells us that the world Is at peace. Aside from the fact that there are a few wars in progress, he is right. With the per capita money of the country down to $34.61, a good many people will have to be content with their last year’s automobiles. A woman writer tells us that chewing gum steadies the nerves, but It Is more than likely that she derives more money from chewing the rag A family of six has lived for three months on $2 a week, says a Boston paper. It Is easier to guess what they didn’t have to eat than what they did. One of the most cheerful aspects of the Chinese situation is the regularity with which Wu Ting Fang lands a big Job with each change of administration. A Yale professor rises to remark .that $12.61 a week Is enough. We presume that all he gets over and above that amount Is turned back Into the Yale treasury. ~y ■+■ ■ Wearing Jewels In the heel Is said to be gaining popularity, but only among high steppers. 3!bc race on higher education is ex- ' 'pensive. Yaie is building this year a $700,000 stadium. All musical instruments are denounced as immoral by a New Jersey minister. We would be pleased to have him tell us "What harm a bass drum ever did. Another prophet comes to the front with the prediction that the world will end in the year 4237. We hereby Indite a message of to the citizens of 4237. A New Jersey woman has been brought into court for carrying a revolver. It won’t do to permit the women to take their leap year privilege too seriously. ‘ 11 ’ 11 ■ ■ - A Pennsylvania Enoch Arden on his reappearance was promptly sent to jail. This course followed, as a rule, might tend largely to decrease these poetic resurrections. A set of fanatical Russian women tried to crucify a man whom they had edopted as their “savior.” As he call- . ed the police we take it that he was merely willing to live, not die the part. Tit New York surrogate has refused to upset the will of a rich spinster who believed that her cat was a reasoning being and possessed a soul.

STAR PITCHER OF NEW YORK GIANTS

Christy Mathewson as Been by Artist Cesare.

By HOMER CROY.

You have to put on your glasses, grip your hands and hold your breath till the stars come to find Factoryville, Pennsylvania, on* the map. When a freight train backs on the siding you could drive along the right of way withput knowing a town was there until you got down to the crossroads and saw the grocery signs. But sometime there may be a monument there that will tickle heaven’s blue, ethereal dome, for it is the birthplace of Christopher Mathewson. There —that puts it on the map. When he was a boy Inshort trousers and jam he wanted to be a lumber dealer. His idea of the highest, most delirious Joy that could come to one on this mundane sphere was to put on a carpenter's apron with a real pocket for shingle nails and another for Number 9’s, climb up on a pile and throw down buroak posts .or measure joists with a man’s folding pocket rule. As soon as School was out each evening he would hurry to the lumberyard and stand around In open-mouthed wonder, watching the dealer check off the ends with blue chalk and walking around as unconcerned as could be with a wonderful flat-sided lead pencil Sticking behind his ear. Christy’s life has been a bitter disappointment, for nowv although thirty-two years old, he has never realized his ideal, never once having. worked In a lumberyard, now being only a hired pitcher for a baseball team! The first curve he learned to throw was the "roundhouse,” one of * the old-fashioned ilk, so slow that the catcher always tied on his mtt after' it started; hut it was the first curve ever seen in Factoryville and the people flocked In Bwearfng and byhecking up and down that it was ag’in the law of Natur 1 for a ball to go crooked, They thought that for

FAILS TO SEE CHICAGO CUBS

Otto Knabe of Philadelphia Thinks Pittsburg Will Be Strongest Con-, tender for Pennant, Several players in the National league do not think the Cubs will finish one, two, three in the pennant scramble. One of these Is Second Baseman Otto Knabe of the Phillies, who is taking an exceptional stand in declaring that all the clubs will have to travel speedily to beat out Pittsburg for the flag. It Is seldom that a player selects another team in preference to his own to win the championship. Bu| Knabe is one, and here is what he says: “With O’Toole, Adams, Camnitz, Hendrix and Lelfield as first string pitchers, the Pirates are going to make us all hustle. I have been

studying the situation and have come to the conclusion that there will be three teams in the race —Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York. Pittsburg and Philadelphia will have It out for first place; and we will consider ourselves more than lucky If we show the way to Fred Clarke’s “New York won the pennant last’ season because it had all sorts of luck. Pittsburg would have beaten it out had it not been for the accidents to ’Wagner, Wilson, Clarke and Miller. Philadelphia was going well when Magee was lifted and Dooin hart Had

pore wonder and amazement Joshua, who made the sun stand still, was just cutting his milk teeth compared to Christy Mathewson. For the first professional game he played he received one dollar; now he wouldn’t crook his finger for less than forty cents—three crooks for a dollar —getting S3OO for each game he pitches. He went to college but lacked one year of being able to write A. B. after his name in a careless, nonchalant hand. He used tojfltch for the Y. M. 0. A.., hut he came to New York city for tide first time over the Erie. The only other thing that can be said against him is that he smokes. He is a regular devil at that, sometimes smoking a cigar in the morning and a cigarette before company in the evening as cool as you please. The day he landed in New York he had two telescope bags and had to ask his way twenty-two times to get to the Polo grounds, and now every time he wants to cross the street or go around the corner to get shaved he calls a taxicab. In the winter time he lives in St Nicholas Place, New York city, sells insurance and plays checkers, Ts the vice-president of the Consolidated Air, Ozone and Oxygen company was just ready to sign for a life insurance policy for a quarter million, and somebody would come along and sing out, “Say, Christy, I’ll bet I can beat you a game,” he would Jump up from the vice-president and hustle away after a board muttering his awfullest oath: “By George, I’ll betvon can’t.” He would rather play checkers than be turned loose in the kitchen of the Knickerbocker hotel with at vtwo hundred pound can of case parfait just opened square in front of him and the handle of a tablespoon pointing toward him. (Copyright. 1811 by W. G. Chapman.)

these things not taken place the Giants would have found the going harder~and wouldn’t have finished aa well as they did. “This year, however, McGraw is going to find that he will have to play better ball Not only will he have to beat out Pittsburg and Philadelphia, but he will find that his own men won’t play as well as they did in 1911. Marquard, for one, will not be as successful; he won’t win nearly as many gkmes as he did last year. “Chicago appears to be everlastingly out of the race. From this distance I cannot see where Chance has strengthened any. He hasn’t a good man on first and unless he plays Zimmerman at third he’s going to be up against it at that corner. His pitchers are none of the best; and it’s hard to see where the Cubs are going to finish one, two, three.”^

Yerkes Gets Steady Job.

Steve YerhSes, the little shortstop of the Red Sox last year, may be seen at second during the campaign of 1912. Yerkes will be fighting for the position with Heinie Wagner, the former captain of the outfit Wagner’s arm has gone back on him and his batting eye had, cobwebs on It last season. Unless he Improves greatly next spring he is liable to eee Yerkes playing his position. Jimmy McAleer, the new Red Sox president is said to very sweet on Yerkes, whom he has seen in several games against the Washington dub. He will give Yerkes plenty of opportunity to make good at: second. Yerkes can’t get halls to his left but he’s a hear on drives to Ms right Also hIS sticking has been very good, and this is an attraction on a team out for the pennant
