Third basemen are made, not born. Ils the only position on the ball field where natural ability for the job is not the primary asset. Most third basemen will agree lo this and their judgments will be back- ed up by managers, who, have to fig- ure out where they are going to get men to fill in at the hot corner. To ‘back up the theory it is of in- terest to know that of 16 third base- men in the two major leagues, dnly two broke into the game as_ third sacke The ~rest were detoured to the corner after seasoning at second or short. 7 Frank Baker and J. Carlisle (Red) Smith of the Braves are the only un- diluted thihrd basemen in the two leagues. The natural question is—Why? So I inquired around among man- agers and find that a third baseman is made, not born, and a good brainy shortstop. is. the best thing to make him of. “There's not a good shortstop in the league that wouldn’t make a good third baseman,’ comments Hughie Jennings, who made a cracking good corner man out of Oscar Vitt, a, sec- ond baseman. “But there are plenty of third basemen who wouldn't make good shortstops. The third baseman must have a great throwing arm and must be a quick thinker, but he does not have to be a wonder on covering ground, while a shortstop who can't cover half the diamond is better off baek in the bushes.” have to cover, indicating that: shortst oi third baseman’s two and second baso man cight chances ta,third baseman’s five. Diagram also, shows why ball usually is harder hit tq. third baseman Frank Baker and “Red” Smith, only third: basamen inthe inajor leagues Diagram shows territory hich infielders must/handle three chances to from the plate, while the other in- fielders rarely.come as close as 90 feet and usually play about 110 feet course, constantly loses velocity. Fielder’ Jonesy has practically the same idea. “Shortstops and ysecond (basemen have to cover a lot, of ground,” said Jones, “third basemen don't. For that reason a man, who ,has, all the requi- sites of a shortstop or second base- man except ability to cover territory might easily make a good third base- man. He must be able to handle everything that comes down his way and field bunts well. He must also have excellent judgment in finding out what the batter is likely to do.” Summed up, the situation is about this: A third baseman must be able to handle the hardest kind of ground balls. They come to him harder than to the shortstop or second baseman, for he gets them from 60 to 90 feet from the batter, while the keystone combination rarely gets ground balis as close as $0 feet and often much further away, after they have iost part of their velocity. To make up for this, howewer, the shortstop must handle three cances to the third sacker's two and the sec- ond baseman eight to the third base- man’s five. Major league records for five years show this proportion. The third baseman must have an accurate and speedy throwing arm to make the long throws to first, 127 feet away: The third baseman must use almost infallible judgment in fielding his po- sition in case of a bunt, for he can easily be tricked by a batter unless | he is up to his job every minute. Jawn McGraw having been suspend- ed, nine or ten National league um- pires took long breaths of relief. Walter Johnson is practicing bomb throwing. Whether or not Johnson goes to warrit ought to be all right. Bombs are about the only things that could make Washington wjn. We're still waiting to hear of Benny Leonard’s enlistment.

Even remote cobwebs, callous to the ordinary flow of legal oratory, suf- fered a’ severe joit in their nooks in the District. of Columbia’ Supreme court ‘building, when a certain, dark- skinned emulator of Demosthenes de-} livered one of his. $25. speeches to @ jury, relates the Washington Times, Be it understood in passing that this Afro-American member of the district bar .!s' known to haye three set ad- dresses, each of which-he agrees to rid himself: of for the acquittal of his client for a stipulated price. Now the $25 type of oratory is his best, the other two being of the $10 and $15 species. It was the highest priced ad- dress that was being delivered on the occasion in question, John Doe, negro, was charged with stabbing “a fren’.”| The evidence was all taken and it behooved the Ethlo- pian Demosthenes, representing John, to impress. not only John, but numer- ous others in, the cqurtroom, who, to use legal terminology, might be placed in the category of “prospective clients.” ’ “When man took Father Time by the forelock and started to meander with him down the halls of Eternity,” vociferously began the negro attor- ney. You could have heard a pin drop. And then without further mention of the evidence against his client the perspiring orator soared into the high- er realms and started .a dissertation anent the angels and archangels. Old- er habitues of the court realized that the defendant at:the:bar had paid ia $25 fee to his counsel and anticipated a half hour of irrelevant epigrams and verbiage, But not so the court. “Leave heaven and get back to Ana- costia,” the court laconically suggest- ed. “There's where this crime hap- pened.” Now every one is wondering wheth- er the $25 address is being revised. EASTER LILY FROM BERMUDA Most of Bulbs Have Come From Island Gardens but They Arc Now Be- ing Grown in United States, The Kaster lily, the accepted floral emblem of that church festival, was introduced into this country about fifty years ago from Bermuda. The little group of islands have sent us millions of bulbs and received millions of American dollars in return, The large eastern cities buy hundreds of thou- sands of bulbs annually, costing in the neighborhood of $100 per 1,000, Of late years some disease has at- tacked the bulbs, and on this account, and by way of developing our own possibilities, experimentg in the culture of Lilium longiflorium, the botanical name of the Easter lily, have been made, which prove that in sections of Florida, Mississippi, Washington, Ore- gon and California it can be grown with perfect success, Thus, it is point- ed out, we are making ourselves inde- pendent in the way of beauty as well as in matters of greater utility and} commercial importance. : Rheumatism Superstitions. , It is when it comes to rheumatism that old superstitions come most defi- nitely to the fore, and there are scores of cures and preventives which have come down through the éenturies, One of these which the Belgians have introduced to the fighting men at the front is the wearing of a strip of cat- skin beneath the coat. According to the Belgians, this makes you immune from both rheumatism and gout, and with the trenches deep with mud and icy water, the average soldier, wheth- er in France or England, is only too glad to “take a chance” on any sort of preventive, and it is said that scores of domestic pussy cats have been offered up as a sort of sacrifice to provide whole regiments with the coveted strip of fur. The fad has spread to Engfand, where “catskin” bands are now sold; but so far Ameri- ca has been content with the theory that the wearing of @ steel ring, or the carrying of a potato in the pocket, would keep off the dread aching of joints and muscles.

Cleveland, O., June 18.—There is a {hitch in the proposed championship contest between Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, and Johnny Kil- bane, holder of the featherweight crown. Matt Hinkel, a Cleveland pro- moter, had scheduled the contest for Cantorf, O., July 4, but it now appears that another will be substituted. Fear of public opinion is keeping Leonard out of the match, according to Hinkel. The New Yorker told Hin- kel he would not dare to sign for a contest until he had engaged in some branch of the military service. “| made that promise before I won the title from Welsh, and must keep it, Leonard told me,” Hinkel said. “Leonard plans, however, to settle his military plans within a Yew days and will be able to talk terms.” Fargo, ‘N.

McRoberts, sec- retary of the Interstate Fair associa- tion. The season will open at Valley City. IN. D., July 4, and closes with the Interstate fair program at Fargo. July 23 to 28. The purses are expect- ed to attract some of the best horses in the northwest. St. Paul, Minn., June 18.—Boxing promoters are attempting to — bring Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul middle- weight, and Al McCoy, claimant of . the middleweight championship, to- gether here in an open air contest. A large percentage of the receipts will be donated to the Red ~ross.
