| SPORTS OF THE DAY NADDELL WAS PEER OF ALL SOUTHPAWS Conceding that all of these left-hand- s have merit, old-timers refuse to be- ed Rube Waddell when the latter lowed himself to be led around by the vse by Connie Mack. For the Ath- ictics Waddell pitched peerless base- Dbail for several seasons. A disturber a rule breaker under other man- the Rube was as meek as a lamb Mack, and without word of laint he did an enormous amount of work. Though painfully eccentric Wadd«ll showed headwork and skill. tle Lieid the league's strike-out record v 2 single season until it was topped y ‘Walter Johnson of the Washing- 5. Flis control was especially good and he had the number of practically every batsman who faced him. Tom Ramsey, of the old Louisville club, was another left-handed world beater. For many years he was rated as the kingpin and his ability earned a big salary until he fell by the way- side because of his habits. Klilroy of the Baltimore American association team of more than 20 years ago was a vender. The Bostons in the old days a corker in Kid Madden. Then Pitisburg boasted of Ed Morris, and Detroit won a world’s championship chiefly through the southpaw work of Lady Baldwin. Probably the first really great left- hander in the National league was Charley Buffington, who helped Bos- ton win a pennant in 1883. Buffington had a dvop ball that baffled the heav- fest sluggers. He used it incessantly together with curves ihat finally wore out his pitching arm. But as veterans Rube Waddell. remember him, he was one of the great. est pitchers that ever wore a toe plate. St. Louis, in Von der Ahe's reign,, had a star in Theodore Breitenstein, a little sorrel-topped fellow who nev- er knew when he had emough. With great speed and beautiful control Breitenstein did splendid work, and finally Von der Ahe sold him to Cin- cinnati for $10,000. That was 20 years ago, yet Breit was playing ball last year in the Southern assoclation A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AN PLAYERS SAVE THEIR MONEY Diamond Artists of Present Keeping Their Money for Ralny Day— Clarke Has Quarter Million. Statistics sald to be reasonably ac- curate show that thirty-four old ball players died during 1911, and of this number only two left families in com- fortable financial eircumstances. Another text, of course, for a ser- won on the happy-golucky ways of Fred Clarke. the old-time players and the freedom with which they entertained their friends while they were in the height of their fame.

Players have learned to save their money. They receive better salaries, too, than in the old days, and with strict training methods, and in many Instances good advice from .club own- ers, the habit of saving has been in- stilled and the ball player can now retire with as much money as any salaried employe in the average busi- ness can save in & lifetime. Fred Clarke is worth a quarter mil- lon and he is still playing. Frank Chance and dozens of other players can be named who have plenty of this world’s goods, and safely invested, too. When the present geenration of ball players passes on and thirty-four of them, perchance, die in one year, there will be a different story to tell about mouths of fatherless children unfed. 0O'Day Is Certainly In Bad. Now they say that in case Hank O’Day fails to make good as manager of the Cincinnat! Reds he can fall back on his ability as an umpire. There must be & whole lot of consola- tion in that for Hank. One job is just about as bad as the other. Grand Forks, N. D., wants a place In any circuit that is organized along the northern border. If Toledo lets Harry Hinchman go, Mike Kelly would like to have him to play second base for St. Paul. Intercollegiate basket ball is as good as football, with the added at. traction that pads are not worn. - The easiest thing in the whole world to explain is how a man happened to be knocked out in a prize fight. Jimmy Toman of Los Angeles has signed his contract to umpire in the Northwestern League next season. Minneapolis has signed a catcher named Otto Hungary, who is a pro- uct of Riverdale (Cal) University. The Chicago Cubs will go to West Baden for a week’s water drinking be- fore they go sonth to New Orleans. Manager Mike Flinn of Mobile de- nies that he has closed deals for Max- well, Paulette or Cutshaw, as report- ed.

The progress in urbanity—the art of city life—which is taking place among modern Germans is {llustrated by the movement for moditying, or al together dolng away with the “Ger- man salute,” says a cablegram to the New York American. Under the ex- pression is meant the traditional fashion of taking off the hat on occa- sions of meeting or separation. It ia e highly elaborate performance, in three motions, suggesting military precision, the first being the raising of the hat with stifly extended arm, the second the lowering of it to the knee with a downward cutting motion and the third the similarly precise replacement on the head. The action between adults appears formal enough to draw a smile from foreigners of easler manners, but it becomes laugh- able when one sees it practiced with all gravity between a pair of school- boys or college students. How deeply the “German salute” is engrained. in the national forms of so-called polite- ness is proved by the story of the independently minded subordinate of- ficial who steadlly refused to make the traditlonal obeisance to the “‘chief” and got the alternative of mak- ing it or being dismissed. In Ger- many it is etiquette for a gentleman meeting a lady of his acquaintance in the street to take off his hat to her be- fore she bows. In Anglo-Saxon coun- tries the reverse {s the practice, and 2n American woman would feel not a little astonishment, as well doubtless as some amusement, if she were brought up against one of her male friends saluting her in the German fashion. LOVE STORY OF ARCHDUKE Ferdinand Charles Louls of Bavarla, Wedded to Rosa Czuber, Enjoy- ing Peaceful Exile, The Archduke Ferdinand Charles Louis of Austria, scratched from the Almanach Gotha, scratched from the army, deprived of all his titles, ranks and orders, is peacefully enjoying per- fect love as an exile. He is now known M. Ferdinand Berg, and is painting on the borders of Lake Lugano. His fault was a gracious one, for to marry morganatically has become almost & habit in the Hapsbourg fam- ily. But this fault was aggravated by the fact that the marriage was cele- brated without imperial authorization. His elder broth, the heir to the throne, and the ducheresse of Hohenberg, who were likewise separated by a great difference in station, were more adroft, and had taken into their play Madame Schrab, the mistress of Francls Jo- seph. Madame Ferdinand Berg, nee Rosa Czuber, has nothing with which to re- proach herself for having made con- quest of the archduke in an official reception at Prague. The archduke had immediately demanded her hand, but the severe Dr. Czuber made him walt five years. It is only a question now of ob- taining the pardon of the emperor Francis Joseph. The archduchesse Annonclade is employed to do this, but it is feared all her efforts will re- main unfruittul if she can not first move the excellent Madame Schrab.— Le Cr! de Paris. Strawberries Every Month, A strawberry plant, imported from Biberia last spring by Edward Dixon of Forest Grove, Ore., bears fruit every month in the year, the berries being white in color when fully ripe. The berries are not so large as the Oregon berry.” The flavor resembles that of & pineapple. Blossoms and fruit are found on the plant every week in the year; how- ever the best season for bearing fis from August 1 until about the end of the year. The berrles hang in clusters on & long, slender stem. Each plant has several stems on which the fruit grow. The stems with leaves bear no fruit. Instead of propagating new plants trom runners, as is the case of native strawberries, in this specles the par- ent plant is broken up, the several fruit-bearing stems are separated and planted individually.—New York World. e - Zulla. It is stated that no matter what clags of animal is brought to Jereaz de la Frontera, Spain, in two genera- tions it acquires remarkable tough- ness and endurance. This is attributed partly to the climate, but principally to their feeding on a rich, wild clov- er called “zulla,” found only in the province of Cadiz, which people thers say is the finest food in the world for horses. The zulla is very rich in sustenance and grows to three or four feet in height, and with more luxuriance in chalky, clayey soil, such as is found here in the vineyards which produce the famous Jerez wine or sherry. It is never sown or cultivated, as it seems to grow best wild, Something Missing. Life guards at a Jersey seaside re- sort tell with great glee of an incident that happened there last summer. A German, with his boy of ten, was standing at the rail of one of the piers, quite at the end thereof, when sudden- ly the youngster toppled through into the water. As mo life guards were out that far at the time a well dressed young collegian on the pier, without walting to divest himself of shoes or clothing, jumped in and atter battling with the waves for some minutes got the half-drowned boy to the beach. In the meantime the father had hastened from the pler. ‘The' parent, however, bore himself with great coolness. As the rescuer placed the dripping lad at his parent’s feet, the German calmly jnquired: Mahmout barred from every city in fhe United States. .. “Many tanks, but yot hat m done mit lll hat?” S D FEAR in Berlin—67 Dead. Botulinys Bacilius Said to Have Been Discovered in Food Eaten by Some ) of Viotims—Kaiser Calls for Reports. Berlin.—Annourcement today of 8 dozen more deaths and thirty new cases of prostration bave Intensified the public alarm over the mysterious malady that first made its appearancq three days ago at the Central Munic pal Shelter. The deaths now total sixty-seven and the prostrations 142. Despite official denlals that there i any suspicion of the presence of chol era in the city, Berlin is giving more and more credence to the most sinis ter rumors. These rumors are chiefly due to the fact that many caces of ill ness and death have occurred at wide ly separated places in and near thq city where there could have been scarcely a possibility of the malal baving been due to eating spoiled h ring gathered by habitues of the Cen: tral Municipal Shelter. The latest explanation of the au thorities, put forth from the' Berlin Magistracy, s that the strange dis- ease Is due to a microbe known to sclence as the “botulinus bacillus.” This particular type of bacillus is sald to cause a deadly sickness simllar to that produced by “allanto-toxicum’— the acid developed in spoiled liver sausages. There has been no posi- tive identification of this bacillus in allanto-toxicum: It 18 a case of sim- flarity of effect. It is announced that investigations At the Bacteriological institute seem to determine the present malady as fue to the batulinus bacilous in food eaten by those who l:ave been strick- . If that be so, the mystery is how so many persons in such widely separat- ed districts could have chanced to eat food infected with the compara- tively rare microbe. The German emperor has asked the minister of the interior to send him {a full report on the outbreak. The Emperor and Chancellor Hollweg have Bent messages to the Burgomaster of Berlin expressing sympathy for the victims. ~ The fact that thirty deaths occurred the first day of the outbreak, after which the spread of the disease less- ened, is conclusive evidence to Prof. Gaffky that there is present in the community no infectious disease, such 88’ cholera, moreover, all the symp- toms themselves, he adds, point to a parasitic disease. . The professor says this type of ail- ment is luckily infrequent. The most recent researches, he says, lead to the conclusion that the botulinus bacillus Is not restricted to meat or to food prepared from meat, but may occur in vegetables. To this bacillus is attrib- uted the outbreak at the " cooking school at Darmstadt in 1894, when twenty persons were attacked after eating salad, and eleven died. Prof. Lenz and his staff at the Royal Institute have begun an examination of the varlous food scraps, including smoked herring, gathered by the In- mates of the Central Municipal Shel- ter and its branches. MONEY MADE IN FOX FARMING Most Profitable of All, Says Agricul- tural Officlal—Skins Are Worth $10,000. ‘Washington.—Fox farming is prob- pbly the most profitable agricultural Industry in the world. This was what 1. Walter Jones of the department of pgriculture told the American Breed- ers’ assoclation here. At the sugges- Hon of Secretary of Agriculture Wil- son Mr. Jones made an investigation of the fox farms of Canada, where a practical moriopoly of the business now {8 enjoyed, with the idea of try- Ing to interest some Americans in the work. Natural black fox sets sell at from §2,00 to $10,000 a set, Mr. Jones sald. Next year's expected crop of pups al- ready has been sold for $6,000 a pair. “The increasing scarcity of costly furs,” he declared, “and the greatly Increased demand make the signifi- cance of breeding in captivity the more important.. It is probable that within a year or‘two the breeders will be rearing mink, marten, otters, and beavers. Skill such as only a trapper or a close student of nature can achieve Is necessary in the successtul breeding of the shy and nervous rey- pard. £ “The so-called ‘black fox is the skin of the timber wolf of Kamchatka, the balf-wild dog of Manchuria, or cheap American fox dyed black. Only a few fozen genuine black foxes have been caught yearly, and most of them have gone to the nobility of Europe, prin- pipally those of Russia and Austria.” Driver Is 80, Horse 40.
