TED EASTERLY NO DUDE

Not Particularly Strong on Sar-

torial Embellishments.

tfhtn Cleveland Backstop Reported toLoa Angeles Club He Wm

Dressed In Peaceful VelleyDicer and Celluloid Collar.

When Ted Easterly, who Is playlna.a. remarkably olover game for theCleveland club this seasbn, pried hlaway into the professional ranks as amember of the Lue AntfslGB Xc. hawas not particularly strong on ear-torl-

embellishments.While Indirectly from tho "tall and

nncut," Ted was a human dynamowhen It came to getting the Informa-tion nnd was "wise" to almost every-thing except duds, says tho SportingNowa. But put him up against thepurplo and flno linen game and hiscombined batting and fielding averagewould have been about .001 at themost.

When Easterly reported for the firsttrip north with tho Sernphs he washarnessed up In a Peaceful Valleydloer and a celluloid collar. True,there wero other articles of wearingapparel clinging to his person, but Itwas the haberdashery stuff that gavohim tho real sparkle.

This collar was tho type that isbuilt to an extremo height of

of un Inch, is invnrlably fromfour to tlvo sizes too largo for thewearer and shines with a luster allits own. Ted is believed to havo ac-

cumulated It In Downey, Cnl., whichwas tho scene of his amateur actlvt-- 1

ties. Celluloid collars wero consid-ered qulto recherche In Downey ntthat time. Comparatively fow ofthem, however, survlvo at tho presenttime. v

When tho team landod In Oakland.Hogan, and Urashear, with Easterlytrailing nlong, drifted Into n stogioBhack, only to encounter "Dull" Croll

and Joe Nealon, who wero then play-ing with tho California "outlaws." Ho-gan and Drashear at onco started into "kid" Croll and Nealon.

"Come on 'bustiers,' and havo a realclass A cigar," remarked Hogan, air-ily throwing down a flve-sp- and or-dering the most expensive cabbage Inthe houso.

Drashear supplemented this with agrand stand play of the same sort andall the tlmo a line of talk was handedout to convey tho impression thatCroil and Neulon wi playing Witha sixth-rat- e league. Those wero ata loss for verbal vitriol with which tocombat the caustlo comments of thoCoast leaguers until Croll happenedto spot Easterly with the celluloidhalo about his neck.

"Class A, eh? Class A!" drawledCroll, fixing a piercing gaze on Ted."Say, 'Hap,' bring your class A friendwith tho China egg collar on over heroand we will buy him a good cigar"but Hogan had ducked.

PITCHER'S NAME HELD BACK

Connie Mack, Manager of ChampionAthletics, Never Gives Informa-

tion on His Twlrlers.

Connie Mack, manager of tho world'schampions and a mighty wlso man-ager he is too has ono idlosycruuylhal Is flhftMd by fw inndnrfl in maJor or minor leagues. Ho novor willlet anybody know who is going topitch for him until a tew inlnutea bo-for- e

the game starts. Almost overyother boss will glvo an Idea the daybefore who may lw expected to work,possibly naming a couple of men unuselecting whichever wonnB up best,

The Athletics' guiding hand, how-ever, positively declines to glvo outany information on this subject. HeIs polits and nice about It always, hutbe ylolds not the slightest clue, Thoreason given by Mr. Mack for this si-

lence In regard to burlers Is that hehimself never knows who li going tobo on the slab. Ho has men whoseturns aro somewhere nour due warmup at tho ball yard and then picks thoone that he considers will bo most effective at that particular time.

On tho other hand, Connie prob-ably has some Idea at least one dayahead who Is likely to do his flinging,only some flaw In this man's prelim-inary work being sufficient to changethe manager's mind. Still by keepingmum, Connie gains a reputation forguile that may help him in his busi-ness.

Another No-H- It Game.Manager Ramsey of tho Anderson

team of tho Carolina association pitch-ed the first no-h- it game of tho bcusouIn his leaguo against Greenville, win-ning 1 to 0. Pitcher Van Pelt of thoCharlotte team on the same day

Winston Us first hit after onowas out In the eighth Inning, beingpitted against Hay, who dfeated Char-lotte In threo successive games In thoweek before.

Watching Earl Mack.Connie Mack has orderod his scouts

to watch his son, Earl Mack, in ac-

tion, with a view to taking him onthe big team it he looks good enough.Karl is managor of the Atlantic Cityteam and la a comer in tho estimationM every one that has awn him.

REMARKABLE WINNING

Rube Marquard,

Tho winning streak of Itubo Mar-quard of tho New York Giants is notonly n season's sensation, but is thocause of a lot of firguments somo ofwhich can bo settled by reference totho records, others which must bo de-

cided only In each fan's own opinion.As tho Rubo approached tho modernday records of Heulbach and Cliebroof 14 straight wins the delvers intotho dopo began to dig deeper for moreancient marks for him to shoot at.They discovered that Iladbourno badwon 18 straight for l'rovldonco in18S4, thnt Luby had won 20 for Chi-cago in 1800 and that McCormlck In18S0 with Chicago hud won 24straight. So far as known that markof McCormlck's Is tho premier featin organized ball.

DEATH SEEMED CLOSE

MAN LIVED YEARS !N FEW AQONIZINQ MINUTES.

And After All tho Causo of the. Troubio Was Not a Rattlesnake,

ThougH That Seemed thoOnly Explanation.

"Oh, dear," said Dorothy, suddenly,looking tip from her nowspapof,"there's snako loose."

"In Upper Footling?" I said. "Im-po- r.jle. This is a respectable rest-deaii- al

Buburb.""But there is," Bho persisted. "It

has escaped tho naturallst'B shop attho corner. Thl& Into edition says so.Whatever shall wo do? Suppose itgets into our bathroom?"

"Wo shall hear tho water runningif it attempts to havo a bath." I reas-sured her. "Then wo can go up andsneak tho soap. How big is It?"

"Small but very deadly""After all, perhaps It's all for tho

best," I mused. "It may bo thomeans of reforming some heavy drink-er before ho has gone too far." Andthen, as if to show how closely com-edy and tragedy can bo allied, It hap-pened.

It was cold and clammy, nnd I feltIt run rapidly down my leg. Deadsof perspiration stood upon my brow,nnd a convulsive shudder ran throughme.

"Someono walking over yourgrave?" asked Dorothy, who can al..ways bo relied upon to mako theverblal remark; but sho won no an-swering smllo from me. This was notlmo for mirth, with death staring moin tho fact; or, to bo correct, in thoright trottser leg.

"Quiet," I whispered. "Somethingcold has Just run down my leg. Itmust bo tho snako."

"Oh, dear," sho shleked. "And nowyou'll dlo of hydrophobia."

"Not if we're calm," I replied. "Do,b I tell you as quietly as possible

Perhaps it won't bite if it's not dis-turbed."

Then I bade her como to mo andgently unlace my right boot. Oncomoro I felt that cold wriggle ns I ex-tended my foot, and wo waited quiet-ly for flvo agonizing minutes. I gotpins and needles so badly that I fear-ed they would prick the reptile and ir-

ritate it, but I dare not move. At thoend of the flvo minutes I changed ourtactics nnd handed her my penknife.

"Cut the lacei" I recommended"gentle. Don't cut me. If once heemells blood I am dono for."

Then I bade her remove the boot.But, softly as she did it, once againthero camo the clammy wriggle, andnow tho thing was at my foot. Withits arrival at the toe further prog-ress would be baffled by the sock, and,thus baffled, it would probably strike.

Tho tlmo for caution had gone by.Swiftly I stooped and grabbed at thespot, praying fervently that I mightclutch its neck and so prevent its bit-ing. And as I snatched there came amusical chink.

"It's a rattlesnake," screamed Doro-thy. "Oh, do bo careful."

"On the contrary, my dear," I re-plied, "It is some cents that haveslipped down my leg through a holein the trousers pocket. I am saved."

I poured out a whisky and soda withtrembling hands, while on tho hearthrug Dorothy sobbed hysterically overmy merciful deliverance.

Vellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes,Oculists havo often called attention

to tho fact that the eyes are easilyfatigued by the reflection from whitepaper, especially when the surfneo Isunder a strong light. Since green laknown to be tho color most restful tothe eyes, it is n common practice to"use wall papers and draperies of thatcolor In libraries and private studies.For writing paper, however, green isan unsatisfactory color. It imparts areddish appearnco to tho writing andmakes It hard to read.

Yellow writing paper is not open totho Bnmo objection. In strong day-light it is softer than .pure whit pa-po- r,

and in artificial lleht Is not toodark. Black letters on a yellowishbackground show clear nnd distinct.Many mnthemntlclnnB uso yellow pa-per In figuring long nnd difficult cal-culations, and many writers havendnptm! It for mnnuncrlpts. It hastho additional mnrlt of cheapness.Yotith'n Companion.
