PLAYERS GET TOO MUCH COIN

Magnates Anxious to Revise Rules for Division of Gate Receipts of World’s Series. If certain baseball magnates have their way the rales governing thfe division of world’s series, receipts will be radically amended. It will be suggested that the money set aside for the players of the two contending teams in the world’s series be limited to a guarantee for each man instead of a percentage. No less a person than August Herrmann, chairman of the National baseball commission, favors a plan by which each member of the winning team in the world’s series will receive SI,OOO while each member of the losing team will get $750. This money, according to the Herrmann idea, will be deducted from 60 per cent, of the first four games, the balance to be distributed equally among the players of the other fourteen major league teams. If such an amendment should be adopted, .the world’s series would develop into a big benefit for all the major league players. It is also hinted that the national commission may find its 10 per cent, rakeoff reduced one-half. The commission’s share of the spoils has steadily increased each year until $50,000 was set aside after the recent struggle between the Giants and Red Sox. Several club owners insist that the commission’s portion should not exceed $25,000, in which event the balance could be split up Among the men who pay the salaries of all major league players. , The world’s series has grown to such enormous proportions that the impression prevails among baseball men that the players are getting *too much money. If the plan to curtail the shares of the teams taking part in the world’s series is adopted, it will be interesting to learn the attitude of the recently organized Baseball •• Payers’ Fraternity. The membership list includes nearly 300 major league players, all of whom would be glad to receive a piece of ■world series coin.

DISQUALIFY A DOPED HORSE

Mare Trained by Sam Hildreth Is Set Back by French Racing Stewards —Charge Denied. Sporting circles are agitated over the action of the stewards of Auteuil in disqualifying Camyre, a mare owned by Charles Kohler and trained "by Sam Hildreth, after she won the Prix de la Vallee. The authorities based their disqualification on a charge that Camyre had been drugged, and declared that traces of stimulants were found in the horse’s saliva. Similar action has been taken by the stewards in the cases of several other horses, and the authorities have announced their determination to stamp

out the "doping” of racers at Auteuil. Complaints against the practice have been unusually numerous this year. M. Monbel, one of the Frenchmen who Incurred the penalty of disqualification, has declared his Intention of taking the matter to the courts. When Hildreth was asked what he thought of the stewards’ verdict, he answered: “Camyre was in normal condition when she won the race.” When he was asked what he intends to do in the matter he was as noncommittal as before, contenting himself with saying: “What can be done against the decision of the stewards? Nothing at all.”

BARBER CUTS OUT FOOTBALL

Inhocently Tried to Throw Ball Back to Players When Twenty-One of Them’Fell on Him. Football, with or without the forward pass, will no longer be on the list of favorite sports of Herman Stoeble, of 6,950 Third avenue, Brooklyn. The Oriole and a team of aspiring Bay Ridgers were scheduled to wipe the earth with each other Sunday afternoon in a lot at 79th street and First avenue, in Brooklyn. Stoeble, being a barber, went out to sqe the long-haired athletes in action. The teams were well matched, the score was close and, as each side had its adherents, there was much excitement among the spectators.’ Suddenly from the struggling line a player darted with the ball under his arm. He got free from tacklers and started up the field for a touchdown. The crowd urged him on and the pursuers pressed him. A principle of the game is to hold on to the ball, but this runner -dropped it and it fell in front of Stoeble. Now, Stoeble was posted on the price of a face massage and knew how to strop a razdr, but the rules of football, especially when the coveted ball is lying at one’s feet, were things foreign to his daily round of reading. However, he felt that he must act quickly, so he grabbed the pigskin and started to throw it out to the runner Who had dropped it. Started to throw it, the referee says, is correct. When 21 players uncoiled and unwound themselves and uncovered Stoeble he had the ball still, but he wasn’t saying anything. Dr. Dugan, who hadn’t expected to see the gaihe, took Stoeble to the Norwegian hospital and found that the volunteer has a broken leg. He may have internal injuries, too, but it is believed he will recover.

NOTES of SPORTDOM

Stagg as usual stood the endurance test. The Cincinnati papers are complaining that the Reds do not bat heavy enough. Sixteen players have been killed on the gridion this year against fourteen last year. It’s getting so a man has to win a pennant or get a new job. Especially in the big leagues. Pitcher Carl Cashion of the Washington Senators says he is learning a new throw to first. Jimmy O’Rourke and Charles Hemp, hill of Columbus have been sold to Bill Friel of St. Paul. Ty Cobb has batted better than .300 in all the seven years that he has spent in fast company. The New York Giants copped 319 bases last season, against 248 for Cincinnati, the next highest. Jimmy Burke has been mentioned as a possibility to manage the Grand Rapids team next season. » Walter Johnson and Henry, says Clark Griffith, are the greatest battery that ever went/into a ball game. Yale thought she could knock the "Brick” out of Brickley, but Harvard took the “Pump” out of Pumpelly. Captain Larry Doyle of the Giants has been engaged to coach the Seton Hall baseball team of New Jersey. National league fans in Boston are looking to George Stallings to give them their first good ball club since 1901. McGraw would like to know who put the “grass” in Snodgrass, and who is responsible for the “merk” in Merkle. Heinie Zimmerman, according to the figures, leads the National league with the war club, closely followed by an Indian. 1 ’ • , Outfielder Connoly, who was caught in the draft by the Washington Senators from Montreal, batted for .316 last season. Bat Nelson’s manager the Hegewlsch man Is in the prime of life. “Dr.” Phelon and “Doc” Osler to the contrary. Nobody has any sympathy for Miller Huggins since he accepted a job as Cardinal manager. They say it was his own fault. Jack Ryder says the Athletics and the Red Sox will be contenders in the east, and the White Sox and the Tigers In the west.

Rub off the top of the wick each day with soft paper, and if tl fails to draw, pull it up on, the catches or get a new one. tlnless sure you can put ia.the wick correctly send the lamp to a store and have it done properly.

Never light a lamp that is yearly empty, as it increases danger of explosion. Fill a lamp by daylight; if it must be done after dark keep away from a flame, and wipe all oil off the outside. Even with the best oil a poor light results if the burner is not clean. They should be washed once a month in a quart of cold water, to which has been added a tablespoonful of washing soda and a little soap. Boil several hours and pour off the blackened watel, cover with fresh boiling water, soap and soda, boil five minutes, rinse in clean hot water and rub dry with a clean soft cloth that is not linty. Lamp chimneys may be rubbed off with soft paper daily, and when smoked should be washed in cold, water and polished with a tea towel and soft

EASY TO REPAIR FURNITURE

How Weak Parts May Be Strengthened and Article Saved for Future Use. Dry rot is common in old furniture, and sometimes a piece is too good to throw away; the weak patt can be strengthened in this way: Scrape the rotten wood from the piece of furniture, then spray the part with coal oil. Make a mixture of beeswax, melted rosin and sawdust and fill the holes. This will harden and make a perfect wood cement. If the wood is a dark mahogany color, add some melted sealing wax to the mixture; keep it hot when applying ,it to the wood. When varnished it does not show the patch. When a round breaks in a chair do not remove the back or leg of the chair, wherever the damage is done; pull the round from the chair, repair it if it is possible, then with an auger make one of the holes a half inch,, deeper. This will allow the round to slip down into the deepened hole, after which the opposite end can be lifted in place and glued. The piece should lie flat while drying, or the round will slip out of place. This saves the trouble of removing other parts to remedy small break. WH?

Roast Rabbit.

Empty, skin and thoroughly wash the rabbit; wipe it dry, line the inside with sausage meat and forcemeat (the latter of bread crumbs, well seasoned, and worked up). Sew the stuffing inside, skewer back the head bas tween the shoulders, cut off the fore Joints of the shoulders and legs, bring them close to the body, and secure them by means of a skewer. Wrap the rabbit in buttered paper, keep it well basted, and a few minutes before Jt is done remove the paper, flour and froth it, and let it acquire a nice brown color. It should be done in three-quar-ters of an hotir. Take out the skewers, and serve with brown gravy and red currant jelly. To make the rabbit, proceed in the same manner as above; in a good oven it will take about the same time as roasting. Most cooks garnish the rabbit with slices of lemon, and serve up with currant Jelly. Sometimes the head is cut off before sending to the table, but this is a matter of individual taste.

How to Clean White Feathers

White feathers of any description can be cleaned at home to look like new, at a small cost. Take gasoline and plaster of parts, and mix the two together to the consistency of whipped cream. Dip the feathers in this mixture, squeezing and pressing them; then hang fn the open air to dry thoroughly, and until the gasoline evaporates. Be tareful not to handle until thoroughly dry. Then shake well, and the result will be a beautifully clean and fluffy feather. White wings may also be sucessfully treated in this manner. The gasoline must never be used in a room .where there is a light or fire.

Wire Griddles.

Buy a piece of ordinary wire screening and haye it cut up Into squares to serve as griddles on the gas stove when using saucepans too small to rest on the racks over the burners, says a contributor to the'Woman’s Home Companion. You do not have to wait for them to heat through and they are very light to handle. Brass wire netting is more durable than ordinary screen, if obtainable.
