REAL KING OF THE UNIVERSE

Proud Boasts of Independence Avail Nothing When This Monarch Issues Commands. Beware of boasting, men and women, that no one can ever make a fool of you. You may be wise as a serpent, you may have succeeded in everything you have undertaken, you may be kings of finance, you may be great artists, Society leaders, level-headed to a degree, dignified, austere. Bui there is one person who will set all of these qualifications at naught, who will pull you down off of your high horse in a Jiffy. The fact is you want to get down, and you curse your own awkwardness if you really don’t know how to do it. No —it isn’t your sweetheart —it isn’t your wife or You are always mindful to keep up a certain amount of bluff with them. But it’B masks off before this particular person. I’ve seen the best of you grovel on the floor, fly around the room on all fours like orang-outangs, bark, squeal, say absurd things in an absurd way. Even Mr. Batch says “800-boo!” tossing his cane up and down frantically. And staid Miss Emmeline makes awful appleß of her cheeks, and queer noises with her lips. It! certainly is worth the price of ad-mission—-a three-ringed circus pales into insignificance beside it. Yet everyone looks on with a sedate smile —nobody, in fact, seems to notice anything but the expression on the star guest’s face. It’s thumbs up if he laughs, and a more violent continuation of the antics. It’s thumbs down if he goes into hysterics, and woe betide the person who sent him. It’s all perfectly natural, though, isn’t it! And the prizewinner is the one who succeeds In attracting and holding baby’s attention. And it is an honor worth striving to attain. Deny it who dare. —Los Angeles Times.

IN THE OLD-TIME KITCHEN

Cooking Areas Then Were Large and Equipped With Queer Culinary Contrivances. The kitchens of olden times seem to .have been of extraordinary size, judging ' from the investigation recently made by an English historical society, remarks Harper’s Weekly. At Hurstmonceux, for example, there was a kitchen 28 feet high, with three huge fireplaces and a bakehouse with an oven 14 feet in diameter. There is an old Welsh kitchen near Llandudno, dating from the fifteenth century, which has many primitive culinary contrivances, now obsolete or superseded by modern devices. Among these curious old devices may be mentioned a meat jack with a fly wheel, a steel toasting stand and a fan bellows. At Battle Abbey there is a curious old kitchen containing much of interest to the antiquary and a kitchen at St. Mary’s hall, Coventry, is remarkable for the famous “knaves’ post,” •to which, it appears, refractory scullions were temporarily atached by way of punishment. There is a mediaeval kitchen at Westminster abbey, although little remains by which to identify it aside from the rubble flooring, the buttery hatch and an adjoining cellar. Hampton court palace shows its great kitchen,” with vaulted roof and sets of antlers on its walls. Englishmen of other days full recognized the advantages of a large kitchen. There is extant an order, dated April 19, 1206, wherein Hugh de Nevill is commanded to have the king’s kitchen at Clarendon roofed with shingles and to cause two new kitchens to be erected,.one at Marlborough and the other at Ludgershall, in which “to dress” the royal dinners. In thiß order.it is stated that “it is particularly directed that each kitchen shall be provided with a furnace sufficiently large to roast two or three oxen.”

What Interested Her.

"When we visited Greenwich Observatory,” said the traveler, “I set my match by the observatory clock. Since everybody else who has a watch does that, nobody paid any attention to me, but my wife created a big enough sensation for both of us. “Bhe had done a little shopping before we went down to Greenwich. In her handbag she carried a remnant of lace. Far more attractive to her than the observatory’s clock were the little iron pegs driven into the observatory wall, which representedMhe true measure of the British yard, two feet, one foot, six inches, and three inches. “Just at one o’clock out came her bit of lace, and at the minute when everybody else stood impressed with the fact that standard time for a large part of the civilized world was being set within those walls, my wife stood before the iron pegs calmly measuring lace.”

ST. LOUIS PITCHER HAS BRIGHT FUTURE

Hamilton of St. Louis again demonstrated he was some pitcher when he let the Yankees down with one hit. He has been doing grand work this season and promises to be one of the leading twirlers of the American league.

BALL PLAYERS BRING SUIT

Pitcher "Casey” Hageman Claims He Was Not Permitted to Play Ball Last Year. The Boston American League baseball club, owners of the world’s champions, who defeated the Giants last season for that title, has been made a defendant in the New York supreme court in behalf of W. M. (Casey) Hageman, a pitcher. After June 28 last he was not permitted to play either with the champions or with any other club. The club would not give him his release. The suit is started by the baseball players’ fraternity, which 1b known as “The Ballplayers’ union,” an organization formed for the interests of the players in the big leagues. The amount sued sos is |1,400. * According to the complaint, Hageman and tiie Boston club entered into a contract September 11, 1911, to be engaged at a salary of S4OO a month from April 15 to October 15, 1912.

“Casey” Hageman.

There is-nothing in the complaint to tell what the trouble was. The management refused to let Hageman play, and theerfore broke Its contract. AMO, the management arbitrarily refused to release him. Hageman assigned his rights, ss far as the suit is concerned, to the fraternity.

TINKER IS BATTING HOODOO

Manager of Cincinnati RedsCauscs Christy Mithwnp, Star of Giants, Much Annoyance. (By CHRISTT MATHEWSON, Weterna at Now York Pit chins Staff.) Joe Tinker, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, has given me more trouble

of 1908 waa a great one for Tinker, both before and after that memorable pennant fight which weat right' up to the last ditch. Joe and I have been having some lively brashes, with each trying to outguess the other. Probably the most bitter pill ever given me by Tinker was administered on the old polo grounds, New York, one afternoon kite in the season of 1908. New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh were fighting it out in see-saw fashion for the pennant, and Brown, an old rival, was pitching against me. The eyes of fandom all over the country centered about the result of the raee, which had narrowed down to the real crisis. Neither side had pushed a run over the plate in seven innings, and naturally the great crowd gathered about the yard was wrought up to a high state of nervousness. In the midst of one of these general brainstorms Tinker laid hold of the ball, drilling a liner high and far away to left center, the ball crashing against the corner of the fence. Cap in hand, the Cub shortstop whizzed around the pathway, digging at top speed for a homer. That run was the only one scored in the battle, and incidentally the beating this accorded me practically blasted every prospect we had for winning the National league championship. At first Tinker had a weakness against low curve balls cutting the outside corner of the plate, but it didn’t take him long to remedy this fault. One afternoon after he had

fanned three times Joe took a solemn oatii he’d never let it happen again. He set about to cultivate a new style of batting against that particular sort of pitching. If you’ll pay strict attention to Joe in his batting poise nowar days you’ll note that he stands considerable distance from the plate. He also is said to hold a unique record in that he never has been hit by a pitched ball during his long sendee in the National league. When I first knew Joe he wielded a long bat and choked it as he stood close up to the plate. Now he swings with one at the shortest sticks in the big leagues. One of the best things Joe does against my pitching is to comb extra-base drives, hence he is duly qualified to hold the title of "My Batting Hoodoo.” (Copright, ms.)

QUEER DISPUTE IS SETTLED

Golf Ball Is Driven Over Center Field Bleachers of New York National League Ground*. The dispute between golfers and baseball players as to whether a golf ball could be driven from the home plate at the Polo Grounds In New York over the center field bleachers was decided in the affirmative the other day. Grantland Rice, golfer and baseball writer, and Oswald Klrkby, widely known amateur golfer, both succeeded In making the drive. Rice put over one ball In four, and Klrkby two In four. The golfers drove against the wind, but the ball carried ever the top of the fence, which is about 60 feet high at this point, by about 15 feet A brassy was used for the drives, and it is estimated that the carry was about 200 yards. The distance from the home plate to the fence is about 165 yards. No ball player has ever been able to drive a pitched ball even into the lower part of the center field. Manager McGraw of the Giants saw the feat performed.

Tris Speaker Is the -greatest outfielder the game has produced, according to Clark Griffith. “I have seen all the great fielders of the last 25 years,” be says, “and not one of them can be classed with Speaker.**
