| (A H SPORTS OF THE DAY Y OF EDDIE COLLINS BASEBALI.-OGRAPH Eddie Collins a By HOMER CROY. In a big leather backed Bible rest- Ing squarely in the middle of the par- lor table close up beside “Paradise Lost” and “The Life and Deeds of Davy Crocket” at Tarrytown, N. Y., where he was born, you can find the rooly treally name of Eddie Collins— Edward Trowbridge Collins, All that, Just as if it was being called out by the president of the board of educa- tion—who is also proprietor of the Elite Feed Store and the Bon Ton Coal Yard—on graduation day at the high school. Seats reserved for fa- thers and mothers—flowers should be sent to the Sunday school room. The man at the half-way house of the Philadelphia Athletics began be- ing called a phenom so early in life that every night before he went to bed he spent half an hour greasing his down with cold =ream, and every time he found a hair on his upper lip he would turn three complete somer- saults in the hotel bedroom and jump up and bump his head against the ceiling until the feeble old lady on the floor above had to telephone for an- other bottle of smelling salts. He is still one of the youngest of the big league stars; his manager never lets him go out on the street alone at night after nine o’clock, and when the team is out on a tour the rest of the boys have to wash his hands and tie on his night cap. He entered Columbia as a student, but graduated as a baseball player, giving up his time between baseball, football, basket ball, handball, water polo, tennis and track to an earnest study of Blackstone. Laying aside his quarter cover buckram for a full cover horsehide he took up baseball for good at a salary so comfortable that in stepping on a penny weighing ma- chine as a frlend was getting off he didn’t care if the thing went back bang! and locked—he had that much money. 3. KLING IS BOSTON MANAGER Former Star Backstop of Chicago Cubs Will Lead Bean Eaters In Place of Tenny. Johnny Kling, for several years the star catcher of the Chicago Cubs, will try his hand at the managerial game. The famous backstop has been chosen as leader of the Boston National league team for the season of 1912, succeeding Fred Tenny, who held down the job last year. Kling has never before had experience as a manager, but knows a great deal of the national game. and has had the managerial bee buz- John Kling, zing in his bonnet for a long time. Kling played with the Boston team last season and gave evidence that his baseball days are not yet over. The Boston club changed hands not long ago and it is believed that the change will result beneficially for the team. One of the men now at the head of the club is John M. Ward, | the famous old shortstop of the New York Giants. Ward ard his associates will_endeaver to build up a strong He has a head | that is well filled with gray matter s Seen by Cesare. In 1910 he came to bat with Cupid in the box and made the home run ot his life, and now the two have a home of their own in Clifton Heights, a sub- urb of Philadelphia, with a pianola in the parlor and honest-to-goodness chickens in the back yard. He never grows tired of talking about his pian- ola and his chickens; and to him the sweelest music in the world is a duet between a planola and a pullet, with his wife putting the silverware on ir the dining room. e can sit back in his bay window with his fcet on the window sill and by the cackle tell which ome of his hens has laid an egg and which one is up. He never smokes and never got a larruping in his life for sneaking out behind the millet stack with the rest of the gang and smoking a grapevine until it turned him so far inside out that he had to hold his epiglottis in with his thumb. He thinks that the man wiho uses the’ weed is going to that region where is one con- tinuous program from 11 a. m. till 11 p. m., children in arms not admitted; but he himself is wild about chocolate ice cream, believing that the other place in the skies is a magnificently fitted up drug store where the seats at the soda fountam are upholstered, and where a chorus of angels play golden harps while pages in short trousers flap up on their golden wings bearing straws with corl tips, urging you in silvery tones to have another. The ambition of his life is to write a book—a real book with his name on the cover—and he says the one su- preme blissful moment of "his exist- ence would be to lay his book on the center table, turn on the pianola, and then have one of his Plymouth Rocks | walk up on the porch and crow while his own private -ticker inside ra.med off the baseball score.

BROUGHT DOWN TWO VICTIMS But the Deoer Hunter Got 8urprise of His Life When He Exam- Ined Them. One of the best hunting storles off the season comes from northern Wis- consin, where a prominent resident of Phillips, accompanied by a friend, slipped out of town one evening two days in advance of the legal opening day of the season for killing deer. His object was to hunt deer at night by the air of a strong®reflector dark lantern. He succeeded in a way far beyond his most optimistic hopes in killing something, but his overwhelm- ing surprise on first viewing the “game” may be better imagined than written, and his language was horrid. He drove his own team of horses, valued at $600, and some dlstance from town he turned into an abans doned logging road, traversing it for several miles. Then he tied up the team and prowled about in the woods for half an hour with his light. | Suddenly he heard a snort, and the| light revealed a pair of glaring eyes from some animal a short distance away. In his excitement he handed the light to his friend and banged at the eyes. Down tumbled the animal, and instantly there was a commotion in. the same spot, and the light re- vealed another pair of glaring eyes. The hunter quickly fired and the sel)-‘ oud animal dropped. The hunters rushed forward with their light, and to their dismay found' that both their horses were shot and killed. They had circled about and confronted the team in thelr ram- blings, | MORE DIAMONDS IN BRAZIL Mrs. John King Van Excitement Caused By New Discevery of Great Field in the State of Goyaz.

The first finds, in the field indicate that the stream of Garcas contains prodigious riches which may be secured without exs treme labor. The exact location and! course of this stream are scarcely| known, as it appears on few maps. The states that are even within three or four hundred miles of the field are now interested in exploring their| own rivers in the hope of finding like diamond deposits. —_— Wholesale Burning of Books. The French should win Edmund Gosse’s commendation for the whole- sale manner in Wwhich they have de- | stroyed books. They have even gone i the extent of coining a special word, “bibliolytie,” to donate “la de: struction volontaire des livres.”” The greatest date in the annals of biblio- Iytle is 1790, when church property was confiscated by the revolutionary governmept. During that year, in Paris alone, 808,120 volumes taken from monasteries and convents wee burned, and throughout the whole country the total destroyed is said to have amounted to 4,194,400.

London.—An American woman wha | Is interested in the history of playing cards asked the superintendent of prints in’ the British museum not long ago who was the world’s authority on cards and card collections. “1 want to consult the best book,” | she explained. The superintendent took a volume from a shelf and gave it to her. | “This is the highest -authority,” h.l said; “the author of this knows more queer facts about playing cards than any other living person. She has the largest collection in the world herself. And this is the best book on the sub- ject that has ever been written.” The author is an American woman. “‘The Devil's Picture Books, by 0 Rensselaer,”” {the American visitor read. * haven't you anything else?

I know this book by heart. You see, I am Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer.” The director gasred, and Mrs. Van | Rensselaer proceeded to establish her | 1dentity by means of a letter from the | Smithsonian institution in Washing. ton. Then she began to search the | print room of the British -museum, | | where the card collection is kept, and to consult the museum’s books. Mrs. Van Rensselaer’s collection, as it now stands, is the most comprehen- sive and most valuable, as well as the . largest, in the world. Out of it she has given to various American museums their assortments of old playing cards. ‘I am quite sure that every publie collection in America has-come out of this private collection of mine,” she said. “l1 am sure that I have gathered together all the strange and historic playing cards that are shown in Amer- ica today.” “Playing cards, you see,” Mrs. Van | Rensselaer went on, “may be studied | under three grand divisions. There are fortune-telling cards, gambling cards and the various kinds of educa: tional -cards. Educational cards- are not of particular ‘Interest and gam- | bling cards are but the modern adap- ltation of the old fortune-telling cards. These fortune-telling cards are by far the most interesting, and it is from them that one can read strange sto- ries of the history of the world and the customs-of the people. “Fortune-telling cards are an evolu- tion of the great Egyptian mysteries. They were first brought into Phoeni- cla, Greece and Italy by the Egyptians or gypsies. T know that a great many people do not believe that the gypsies are descendants of the old Egyptians, but T do, and my study has confirmed this belief. “The use of fortune-telling cards may be traced back to the rites con- nected with Marduk, in the Bible, and his son Nebu. In chapter 17 of the book of Numbers the divine com- mands are given to consult the cards. The people belleved in the fortune- telling and the oracles, and the for- tune-telling cards were an fmportant feature in their life. Perfected Dish Washer.

Did Not Rule' + Long Over Araucania In South America. The death of “Prjncess” Marguerita, daughter of “King Orelius Antony I.,” in a poorhouse on the Danish fsland of Reyagade brings to light a romance known to few, and half forgotten even by these. “King Orellus Antony 1.” was the son of a French butcher who lived at Perigord, the city of ples. His name was Antoine Tounens. He studied law, | but having a taste for adventure, set | out for South America. That was in 1861. His wanderings took him to Arau- cania, where he persuaded the inhab- {tants to set up an independent mon- | archy and make him king. This did not suite Chile, which sent a force of troops to Araucania. King Orelius An- tony I. was put in prison and remain- ed there until the French government obtained his release. His efforts to be reinstated on the vacant Araucanian throne were futile and the former king returned to France and obtained employment as a walter in Asnieres. He dled there in 1878. ‘While her father reigned in faroff Araucania the Princess Marguerita, an only child, was supported by revenues from the Araucanian treasury. It was & generous supply of money that was sent to her and she had many suitors. Eventually she married a Danish of- ficer, who had saved her life in a ship- wreck.

Not that silk stockings are not pret- ty, claims Mrs. Guildin, but the more luxurious sisters only set the fashion, and the poorer girls in their endeavors to keep pace are forced to go without proper dress. “I think they had bet- ter be dispensed with,” said Mrs. Giul- din, in speaking of silk hoslery.
