GSBOEST PLAY I -AJS TOLD TO Ml) Sflicrfon By BILLY SULLIVAN. Premier Catcher Chicago White Sox, Who for Ten Years Hae Been One of the Ranking Catchers of the Country. ' Beyond a doubt, in thinking over all the plays I have ever seen. I think that one Lee Tannehill pulled off levers years ago was the greatest. There tiave been a lot more Important plays and more spectacular ones, but this, to my way of thinking-, combined everything that goes to make a great play. It was in Chicago, on the old yard at Thirty-ninth street, and I'm not quite certain as to the year. It was one of those seasons in which wo fought for the pennant all the way, and recall that the play was made late in the season. Tanny had- been playing short, but some accident caused a switch in the team and he was moved up to third. We were playing Boston a close, hard-' fought game, for that season there were Ave of us in a bunch, and it looked as If any one had a chance to win. We were leading them by one run when it came to the end of the ninth, and I believe Louie Fiene was pitching; he had relieved the other pitcher after some one had batted for him. Jeine went along well for a couple of Innings and it looked as if our one "Billy" Sullivan. ran lend would be good, until with one out in the ninth things began to go wrong. An error, a hit and a pass filled up the bases. I wish I could remember who was hitting, but I can't. All I remember was that he was dangerous, although with the bases full and one taut, every one looked dangerous.. The batter drove a sharp bounder betvecn third and short, one of the l:lnd of hits (hat go safe about a thousand times out of a thousand. Now, Tanny has a wonderful pair of hands. im wv unv iucui luai uuro. I lc jumped sideways, stuck out his glove hand and grabbed that ball low and to one side, almost falling as be got held of it. We had been planning a! ploy to the plate, then to first on a harp hit, but when Tanny got the ball his back was turned to the plate. Every one was flying around the bases, and Tanny hadn't one chance in a million to make the turn and throw to the plate In time to force the man. He thought quicker than that. He might have tried to shoot to second and get a double play, but Instead, as soon, as the ball hit his hand, he leaped straight at the base runner coming from second. The runner saw him, leaped way out of the line to arold being touched, and there Tanny did some fast thinking. Me dldnt even try to touch the runner, but yelled to the umpire and flashed the ball across to first base, retiring the batter. The umpire allowed the out. because the runner going from second to third had left the base line, and we got a double play. The umpire told us afterward that until Tanny yelled he hadn't noticed the runner leaving the line. Tanny figured ft In about a twentieth of a second and It saved the game for us, retiring the aide and ending the contest. (Copyright. 19U. by W. O. Chapman.) He Dldnt "So you dont want no huckleberries ?- "Xo. I have changed my mind. I see your cat Is asleep In those huckleberries." "That's all right, mum. I dont mind waking the cat up." The Englishman. "The respectable portion of the male sex In England may be divided Into two classes, according to Its method and manner of complete immersion in water," says Arnold Bennett In "A Great Man. "One class, the more dashing, dashes into a cold tub every morning. Another, the more cleanly, sedately takes a warm bath every Saturday night There can be no doubt that the former class lends tone and distinction to the country, but the latter is (he nation's backbone."

NOTES

MLWvBRQOX FARM Is the seed corn safe? Dairying it a science. Be cautious In buying land. Prevent stray hogs from coming to your place. The comfortable hen is the one that lays in winter. There is a good demand for beef of the better grades. A scrub flock never culled gets worse all the time. Ditches may be dug in swamps In the coldest weather. The boar should be well fed, but not allowed to get too fat. The 'colts should have a ration of oats, oilmeal and wheat bran. Judge not a hen by her beauty, tout by the way she does her duty. There are 798 species of roses known, and 448 of chrysanthemums. In killing and dressing pigeons, handle them gently to avoid bruising. Shredded corn fodder is good for the. farm horses in place of timothy hay. There are 49.604 farms in this country of more than 1,000 acres each. Select land carefully. If you are not a judge of land, pay someone who knows. A hog that can be fattened while young will be the most profitable one to breed. Allow one male of the large breeds to twelve bens, and one to fifteen of the smaller breeds. No one can succeed well with poultry who permits them to live year after year In filthy places. Any wrm winter day when the soil is open is a good time to make nrepations for next spring's hotbed. More farm machinery of all kinds Is put out of condition each year by neglect than Is injured by work. Alfalfa meal and bran are much alike in composition and accomplish the same object when fed to milk cows. The size and strength of the lambs at birth will be governed by the feed and care of the ewes during the winter. To have a cow In the advanced registry is now of more advertising value than to win first prize at some fair. One of the European companies manufacturing harvesters for years has employed an American technical manager. No fowl can stand a constant exposure to Inclement weather, and the more we protect them the better will be the results. Chopped alfalfa hay or alfalfa meal solves the green feed problem In winter as well, or better, than anything else we know of. Many dealers object to eggs with pale yolks. When you find yours are getting that way, put a little more corn In the ration. By actual test it has been found that a cow averaging 96 pounds of milk per day drank an average of 200 pounds of water per day. Cabbage is one of the very best vegetables to feed to- poultry, as it keeps green a long time and the chickens enjoy picking at it. Mighty easy to feed new corn to the hogs, stalks and all, but you will find that If the corn is first run through the shredder the animals will eat it up clean. If your fowls have the range of the fields and orchards, and can pick up a number of small insects and worms daily, you will not need to bother much about the meat supply in the ration. Capons, generally, are dressed by leaving feathers on the neck from the head down two-thirds to the shoulders. They are also left on two first Joints of wings, on tall, halfway up the back, and on legs from, kneejoint two-thirds up the hips. All the rest of the feathers are taken off. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to offer our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for their kindness shown us during the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother, also for the beauthiful flowers and words of sympathy and comfort by the Rev. Parker. Emm it Wolf and Children. It was at one of the famous "frolics' given by the Lambs club in New York. Charles. Frohman had made, an exItremtly neat and appropriate speech.

J. W. Gray writes that he has permanently located at La Fayette, Ind., and wishes to be transferred to the council at that place. Members of Quaker City Council can help to make this column worth while by contributing items of interest each week. Send them in to the secretary, he needs your help. Regular memorial services will be held in April for the departed brother U. C. TVs. At Atlanta, Georgia, a movement is on foot to make every member of the U. C. T. a member of the Commercial club. Several other cities have already done this. Walter McWhinney received his indemnity for the ten weeks and six days of disability in just five days from the date on which he presented his claim. Prompt action and good work are the things that make for growth and strength in the order. A letter is at hand from the Kokomo Council saying that the dnte of the annual convention is set for May 17-18, and asking for a list of names of all who are likely to attend. 11 we turn out in full force there is no reason why Richmond shall not land the next convention. Last Saturday night was the time of the regular meeting and at this meeting Elmer McConaha was added to our number. Election of officers took place with the following result: Senior Counselor, H. A. Engelbrecht; Junior Counselor, V. L. Nushawg; Past Counselor, J. F. Zeider; Secretary, Geo. M. Chrisman; Conductor, Wallace Teegarden; Page, S. B. Curtis; Sentinel, J. C. McKee; Ex. Commissioners, Perry Hamilton, Philip Smith, J. P. Highly, Frank Farquhar; Delegate'to Grand Council to be held in Kokomo, May 17, and 18, J. F. Zeidera. The pasf years work has been attended with marked success and while Quaker City Council is an infant in years, the careful administration of the officers has made a wonderful, steady growth in membership and prosperity, and the future looks bright, for the order in this city. Every traveler out of Richmond should wear a U. C. T. button. Many men are now wearing the "Not Tip" button, thus showing by their action, that they have taken up the fight against the tipping evil in dead earnest and the Barbers Union is in many places meeting us half way by placing cards in the' shops bearing this inscription. , t "Don't tip us. We are not objects. of your charity. We earn our wae.'" " ' GEO. M. CHRISM&$?V; Set a New Trans-Conti- ' nental Tourist Record In HUDSON "33," New York Lawyer Spans Continent and Then Gets Ready for Return Trip In Car First Continental Tourist to Complete National Highway . Route. Albright Beth and Auto Agency, the Hudson dealer received news today from Los Angeles, Cal., that F. W. Potter, a New York attorney, had set a new trans-continental automobile tourist record between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by completing the journey without a mishap of any kind to the New Self-Starting- Hudson "33" which carried Mr. Potter and Jack Hillis, another New Yorker, the entire distance. Arrived in Los Angeles the two Easterners expressed such enjoyment of (the trip that they began making pre parations-for the return in the Hudson. When the men left the East they were told it was foolhardy to attempt to make the trip across the continent at this time of the year in any automobile, but the sturdy Hudson never once faltered during the tour and brought its human freight into Los Angeles safely after covering probably more than 3,500 miles without trouble. The tourists left New York and Brooklyn and worked their way Southward touching Memphis and several other Southern cities. The transcontinental tourists approached the Pacific by way of the Sante Fe trail and it is said that the two men were first transcontinental tourists to go over the route which is proposed for a national highway. By reason of this fact their trip became somewhat of a factor among the Southerners who are engaged in the effort to have the national highway established. From one end of the Santa Fe trail to the other the tourists were greeted by national highway enthusiasts, according to the information from Los Angeles. The powerful Hudson was admired by many and was one of the few cars that dared to traverse the highway during the winter. At Phoenix, Arizona, where the two men rested, the "boosters" of the city turned out and gave the car a great send-off. When the car reached Yuma, Information relative to the roads was obtainable and the party went through without any hitches. All along the route through Brawley and Banning the party was well received by townspeople and by the time of arrival at Los Angeles there was a goodly aggregation of motorists awaiting them. "We have had the time of our lives," declared Mr. Potter on arrival in Los Angeles. "We arecgPIM to run around a little in California and then we are going to go back in the same Hudson. We came through Benton Pass in the mountains and found everything in fair shape except for the rocks.. This transcontinental trip has been a big event in my motoring experience the biggest event.

The simple people of Alsace, who retain In their hearts a strong love for France at the same time that they are desirous not to offend their German rulers too much, frequently have a hard time of it when they go to the ballot to vote for representatives in the German parliament. In one election iu a certain Alsatian ! district the two candidates were Kable, an Alsatian of French sympathies, who bad protested against the annexation after the war of 1870. and a German. On election day a peasant went to the polling place, which was presided over by a German official. The peasant bad in one hand a ticket on which was printed the name of Kable and in the other a ticket bearing the name of the German candidate. "Mein herr," he said to the German election official, "will you tell me which of these tickets is the better one?" The officer looked at him. "Why, this is mncb preferable, said he. Indicating the German's ticket "Ah. I thank you," answered the peasant. "I will keep it next my heart." He folded it carefully and put it inside his coat. "As for this other, then." Bald he. with an air of putting it away from him as an unworthy thing. "I will leave it here." And he put the Kable ticket in the ballot box. Mew York Press. ASTONISH THE SHARKS. AStutakl Islanders Pull Them Up by the Tail With Ropes. The island of Altutaki. one of the Hervey group, in the Pacific, is surrounded by islets underneath which are submarine cavern, ..the, homes of sharks. These sharks, which are about six feet long, are esteemed a delicacy, and the natives catch them with nooses. Arrived ever the entrance to the shark cave, the fisherman leaves hW canoe to the care of his companions and dives to the bottom, carrying with him a strong cord tied into a slip knot. He expects to find two or three sharks at home well satisfied and drowsy after feeding In the lagoon, with their tails toward the entrance. Selecting the largest, the diver adroitly adjusts a noose over the tail, taking care that it bangs loosely. If he has another noose he secures a second shark. The shark catcher now, with one bound on the white, sandy bottom, rises to the surface in-order to assist his friends In hauling up the fish. ' The astonished shark suddenly finds Itself ascending tail first to the surface, when a smart blow from an ax between the eyes or oh the tall ends Its career. Exchange. A Orewrsoms Pen. V A foreigner who was at work shoveling ore In the bottom of a vessel' which lay In the port of a dty in northern Ohio jumped upon the oucxec to rwe out of the hold. The increased burden broke the hook by which the backet wss attached to the lifting cable. Man and bucket fell hack Into the held, and the- man received injuries from which he died. An administrator was appointed, who sued the hoisting company for damages. The lawyer employed for the plaintiff was in conversation one day with a friend, who remarked: "I should think that the csmnsay. ster an accident like that; would rase no time in installing stroagee hoisting apparatus. It ought to bo sufldeat warning ' ' .iv "Sufficient!" exclaimed the lawyer. "Why, man, that, was only a drop In the bucket" Philadelphia North American. History en Coins.
