i Marty O'Toole, $25,000 Pittsburg Beauty. “Marty O'Toole,” says Hank O’Day, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, “has a spitball that breaks something like ‘Walsh’s, but he has nowhere near as | much speed nor anything like as good control, and yet he is getting more strikeouts—getting them against good batters, too. Rather hard to figure, but he’s getting away with it in clever style.” - Notwithstanding the Reds can’t un« derstand how O'Toole gets away with | it, it is probable that he will be a suc- cessful pitcher unless something hap- pens to his arm. There is no greater pitcher than Ed Walsh of the Chicago Americans, and In intelligence Big Ed also ranks high, #“Big Ed” Walsh. He says the spitball is and will con- tinue to be the most effective ball a pitcher can throw. One can understand how O'Toole could fan -Bescher (a star hitter on the Cincinnati team), three times straight, and also make every other | man on the team miss them after reading what Walsh says he can do to suth hitters as Cobb, Crawford and Jackson, the stars of the American | league. The White Sox twirler says: “When I've got my spitter breaking right I can beat any ball club in the world. No use trying to bat against it, 1t’s simply unhittable. Larry La- e e e e e g | joie, Ty Cobb and other hitting stars | of the American league will tell you the same story. Ask Lajoie about the time I fanned him in Cleveland with the American league championship at stake. “The spitter is a terror when it | works right. One day I had Detroit | in the nine-hole, and you know the Tigers are some hitters. I think Cobb and Crawford are two of the greatest strikers the game ever produced. The | spitter had them all standing on their | heads. Neither Ty nor Sam could get | it out of the infield. I held them hit- | less for eight rounds and had two . gents gone in the ninth when my | catcher muffed a foul tip. If he had | only held the leather it would have | meant another out and given me a no- hit game against the Tigers. The muff | gave the batsman one more chance. | He dumped a roller to Tannehill, who | had a hard play to make and missed | his man. The scorer called it a hit. | “Elmer Stricklett invented the spit- | ball in 1904. I swiped the idea from | Elmer and have been perfecting it | ever since. Now I think I've got the | spitball down finer than any other | man in the game.” John Titus is just slamming that old | globule for the Boston Braves. Cleveland has grabbed from its To- {ledo farm Outfielder Arthur Hauger. | This Speaker is 23 years old. Five | years ago he cost the Boston manage- | ment $800. | ~ Pltcher Collins of Vanderbilt fame is desired by Clark Griffith for the | Washington club. | Last year fans stopped going to | games in St. Louis.

Portions of Judge Purdy’s address denouncing President Taft provoked cheers. Some of the delegates to Chicago started a Roosevelt demon- stration when Chairman = Puddy warmed up to his subject. Mention of Wilson’s name brought consider- able applause. Following his address Judge Purdy announced that, in view of the fact there were no accredited delegates, a temporary organization was un- necessary. Colonel R. A. Wilkinson placed in nomination J. F. Jacobson for permanent chairman, which was seconded by James A. Larson, as- sistant secretary of state. Arnold on Committee. The following were named on the resolutions committee: First district, R. M. Crane, Spring Valley; Second, F. F. Ellsworth, Mankato; Third, A. F. Conley, Can- non Falls; Fourth, H. T. Halbert, St. Paul; Fifth, L. T. Lincoln, Minne- apolis; Sixth, John A. Roser, St. Cloud; Seventh, E. I. Scofield, Elbow Lake; Eighth, G. S. Eddy, Anoka; Ninth, F. S. Arnold, Bemidji. While the committees were work- ing Senator Canfield of Luverne and others made addresses to the dele- gates on the floor. P. V. Collins followed Senator Canfield with a long discussion on reciprocity. He urged immediate repeal of the pact. - Colonel A. R. Wilkinson discussed Taft’s adminis- tration as it affected the farmer. He declared Taft ignered the farmers but always consulted the interests when legislation affecting them was under consideration.

It wag in 1886 that he built his first flour mill near St. Anthony Falls, laying the foundation for the great mills which still bear his name, and which have made Minneapolis fa- mous as the greatest milling ceter of the world. ‘While extending the Soo road through North Dakota, his atiention was called to the possibilities of lig- nite coal in that state, and he im- mediately set about the development of the field. He has been actively engaged in the Washburn Coal company up to the time of his illness. E Martin-Platt Wedding.

WANTS PICTURES OF KITCHEN Present Day Cooks Like to See Fur ture Working Place Before They Engage Themselves. i “A phase of the servant girl ques- tion that was new to me was sprung the other day when I called at an employment agency to hire a cook,” said the nervous woman. “A prepos- sessing looking girl was brought for- ward for an interview. Her first ques- tion was: Have you any pictures of your kitchen? “I said I had none. " “‘It is always best to bring thom,” sald the girl loftily. ‘It saves time and trouble, for with them to look at a cook can see at a glance the posis tion of the sink, the tubs, the range, and the cupboards, and can tell if the place will suit her.” “While I was adjusting my mind to that phase of the proposition another ‘woman with a wider experience than mine piped up that she had brought view3 of her kitchen. From that min- ute I was out of it as far as that par- ticular cook was concerned. The pic- turgs met her approval, and the other ‘woman hired her on the spot. I asked the manager if it was the custom for housekeepers to produce views of their home when hiring servants, “‘The custom 18 not yet universal, he said, ‘but it is growing. In one sense the girl is right; it does save time and trouble.’ * HITHERTO STRANGER TO FEAR But Now He Had Run Against Some- thing That Caused His Nerve to Forsake Him, “I came, sir, in answer to your ad- vertisement. You said you wanted to employ & man who was a total stranger to fear)” “Are you a brdve man?” “I am, sir. I have given proof of my courage in many parts of the world.” “Yes?” “I have faced bullets in Mexico and machetes in Cuba.” “Good!” “I helped to defend the missionaries against the Boxers, and I was pres- ent at the siege of Port Arthur.” “Fine.” “I have fought the infuriated walrus of Baffin bay and the maddened bull elephants of Central Africa, and I went through an Armenian massacre without losing my nerve.” “You seem to be the man I want. Would you be willing to go out on a field in front of 20,000 fair-minded, sport-loving Americans and umpire a baseball game honestly, deciding against the home team when neces- sary?” ““So that’s the job, is 1t?” replied the man of courage, and broke into a cold perspiration and & run for the door simultaneously.

The making of an ordinary domestio wax or tallow candle is sufficiently wonderful to the lay mind to excite comment, but a candle has lately been lighted in Rome that is 11 feet 8 Inches in height, and will burn for six years. In various places of worship candles are used in their symbolic sense, can- dles of vast proportions, but the one In question is a glant of its clan. The first step in the making of this mam- moth candle was to construct the wick, & wick that would burn clearly and cleanly, and need no snuffing. Suspended by a derrick over a vat of boiling wax, the wick was dipped no fewer than 200 times, till the re- quired quantity of wax adhered to it, end between each dip the wax picked up had to dry off. - Blow at Suicides. : “A pet monkey that I shipped up town this morning was -bound on a most unusual mission for a monkey,” #aid an animal dealer. “He was bought by & woman who Tuns a furnished room house in which three persons have killed themselves ‘with gas recently. Those suicides have upset her nerves. Now she is going to try the same preventive means adopted by three of her friends. “They too, keep roomers. Also they keep monkeys. There have been several attempts at sulcide in their houses, but they have always been frustrated by the monkeys, who have smelled gas and set up such a chat- tering that they woke everybody up. “Monkeys are extremely sensitive to the odor of gas. This customer of mine hopes to utilize hers as a mew kind of life preserver.’—Philadelphia Record. - Classiried Department The Pioneer Want Ads CASH WITH CGOPY % cent per word per Issue Regular charge rate 1 cent per word per insertion.
