TED EASTERLY NO DUDE Not Particularly Strong on Sar- torial Embellishments. . When Cleveland Backstop Reported to Los Angeles Club He Was Dressed In Peaceful Valley Dicer and Cellulold Collar. ‘When Ted Hasterly, who is playing a remarkably clever game for the Cleveland club this season, pried his | way into the professional ranks as a member of the Los Angeles team, he was not particularly strong on sar- torial embellishments. ‘While indirectly from the “tall and uncut,” Ted was a human dynamo when it came to getting the informa- tion and was “wise” to almost every- thing except duds, says the Sporting News. But put him up against the purple and fine linen game and his combined batting and fielding average would have been about .001 at the post. ‘When Hasterly reported for the first trip north with the Seraphs he was harnessed up In a Peaceful Valley dicer and a oelluloid collar. True, there were other articles of wearing apparel clinging to his person, but it was the haberdashery stuff that gave him the real sparkle. This collar was the type that is built to an extreme height of five-six- teenths of an inch, is invariably from four to five sizes too large for the wearer and shines with a luster all its own. Ted Is believed to have ac- cumulated it in Downey, Cal, which was the scene of his amateur activi- Celluleid collars. were consid- d quite recherche in Downey at fhet time. Comparatively few of the 11, however, survive at the present When the team landed in Oakland, Hogan, and Brashear, with Easterly trailing along, drifted into a stogie shack, only to encounter “Bull” Croll Ted Easterly. nd.-Joe Nealon, who were then play- ng with the California “outlaws.” Ho- 2an and Brashear at once started in to “kid” Croll and Nealon. “Come on ‘bushers,’ and havé a real class -A cigar,” remarked Hogan, air- lly throwing down a five-spot and or- dering the most expensive cabbage in the house. Brashear supplemented this with a grand stand play of the same sort and all the time a line of talk was handed out to convey the impression that Croll and Nealon were playing with & sixth-rate league. These were at & loss for verbal vitriol with which to combat the caustic comments of the Coast leaguers until Croll happened to spot Easterly with the celluloid halo about his neck. “Class A, eh? Class Al” drawled Croll,” fixing a plercing gaze on Ted. “Say, ‘Hap,’ bring your class A friend with the China egg collar on over here and we will buy him a good cigar"— but Hogan had ducked. Hugene Krapp of the Naps is so clever at fielding that his teammates call him “Rubber,” the idea being that he bounds around for the pill. The Boston Red Sox have purchased another outfielder from the New Eng- land league. Outfielder Walsh of the Pall River team is the youngster. Clark Grifith wants to get Joe Hov- lik from the Milwaukee club, but he will not be able to do so, because there Is & strong string attached to Joe. Frank Smith, the veteram pitcher that was released by the Cincinnatl Reds recently, is doing fine work with the Montreal team in the Internation- &l league. Frank Farrell, owner of the Yankees, Is authority for the statement that his team will be reorganized, no matter what the cost, before another season rolls around. 2 Jennings may become part owner of the Boston Nationals next year. Ward has been a dismal failure there, and Jennings is anxious to get into the magnate class. Dolly Gray, former Washington pitcher but now of the Vernon team in the Pacific coast league, is doing such good work that his team is now lead- Ing that league. Mot 8and Begs. As & substitute for hot-water bags In ordinary allmenis such as tooth- nche, earache and other minor pains, use common flannel bags made in con- ventent sizes, with dvewstsings. Fill them with hot sand or salt, and they are safer than a cheap rubber bottle, Just as efficacious and much handier to use. Keep half a domen ready; they are of great help in time of aches and ONE OF MACK'S GREAT FINDS Amos Strunk Fills Place of Captain, Murphy in Athlstic Outfield | With Much Credit. Amos Strunk, who is playing left| fleld for the world’s champions, has been with the Athletics for four years, Probably no man in baseball outside of Connie Mack saw in Strunk the “makings” of a great player. Amos sure was a raw recruit when Mack picked him up. Few and far between Amos Strunk. were the games in which he particl- pated up to this season. ‘When Capt. Danny Murphy was in- jured a short time ago the wiseacres said: “That finishes Connie hasn’t got a good man to take bis place.” But they reckoned not with the youngster whom Connie worked with for the greater part of four years. Amos Strunk was as- signed to an outfield berth, and he has proven by his terrific batting and bril- lant flelding that Connie’s confidence and patience were not in vain. McGraw Behaving Himself. John McGraw is behaving himselt much better this year on the coaching line than ever before. He has been put out of the game but once or twice, but then he has not had much reason to kick against the umpires, as the Giants have been having such an easy time of it. Watching Earl Mack. Guuule Mack Las urdered his scouts -to watch his son, Earl Mack, in ac- tion, with a view to taking him on the big team if .he looks good enough. Earl is manager of the Atlantic City team and is a comer in the estimatioh NEW. NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Milton D. Purdy Named As Minnesota Member of Progressive Organi- zation.

Bangor now has a “hen law.” The oity government has enacted a new ordinance which prohibits hens from running at large within a mile and three-quarteys of the postoffice. This was apparently a joke when it was Introduced, but it developed that the city government was alive with suf- i ferers from foraging hens, and the measure went through amid much ap- plause. People who do not look after their hens are now subject to prose- cution and fine, upon complaint.—Ken- of every one that has seen him. PERCENTAGE TO THE GOOD Statement, However, Not Altogether Reassuring to the Owner of a Heavy Car. The lightning was flashing and the thunder was crashing, and along with them were rain, hail, and & wind that threatened fairly to blow off the top of the universe. Hackley urged the car forward at a terrific pace, seeking shelter, and at last, as he rounded a turn in the road the welcome sign, Garage, was to be seen a hundred yards ahead. He stopped in front of it, and the long, lank countryman in charge swung open the doors. 5 “Gee!” sald’ Hackley, dubiously, as he looked inside and took in the sad fact that this, lke many other so- called garages, was nothing by an old- time barn, transformed into its pres- ent glory by a coat of palnt and a swinging sign. “How about that floor of yours, mister?” L “It's a derned good floor,” replied the owner, chewing on a wisp of straw. “No doubt,” sald Hackley, “but 1s it safe?” “I reckon it is,” sadd the proprietor, glancing proudly within, “I've hed thutteen ottermobiles in here a’reddy this season, and no more’n six on ‘em’s fell threw.”—Harper's Weekly. Silver Flzzed Tongue. It was a matter of comment at a re- cent banquet in Savannah, says the Chicago Post, that the Chatham ar-’| tillery punch was missing. There was some alarm over this until it was es- tablished that the recipe had not real- ly gone the way of the secrets con- cerning Tyrian purple and Damascus steel. Artillery punch is a solid punch. Its veiled wallop is like that of a boxing glove with a brick in it. . Col. A. C. Dawes, who was presid- Ing at a dinner following the installa- tlon of a lodge of Elks, had a bowl of it brewed without consulting the company. He had told two or three prominent novitiates that he was go- Ing to call upon them after dinner, and they had implored him to pass them by; their timidity was extreme pnd thelr command of language school- boyish. Would the colonel please ig- nore them? He would. The dinner progressed and the punch came on at its conclusion. After two rounds had passed one of the after- dinner aniateurs slipped around to the toastmaster’s chair and whispdted in his ear: “Dawes, why don’t you ask me to speak?” The First Cable. The laying down of the first inter- continental cable was begun in 1857. The vessels, two American and two ‘British, laid 300 miles of the cable, when it snapped, and the attempt was put oft until 1858. In August of that year the junction between the two continents was completed by the lay- Ing down of 2,060 miles of cable from Valentia, Ireland, to Newfoundland. THhe englneer was Sir Charles Bright, who was knighted for his success. The first two messages were sent on August 5, and were from the queen of England to the president of the Unit- ed States and his reply. But after pending 271 messages the cable prov- ed a failure, and a perfect one was not nebec Journal pecured until 1866. The Bemidji Tar Paper ‘Will Be Plane and Level and Treat You on the Square.
