BROWN'S SENSATIONAL SOUTHPAW TWIRLER
Walter Leverenz of 8t. Louis American!.
His namo Is reminiscent at the
Fronch; ho looks llko an Irishman and
hla father and mother, natives of Ger
many, omlgratod to America and set
tled In Chicago when that placo was
almost a village
He's Walter Leverenz, tho south
paw, and one of the classy bunch of
young twlrlors who -will mako of tho
.St Louis Americans a great team In
a few years.
Leverenz joined tho Browns at Wa
co last spring, coming from Los An
geles, of the Pacific Coast league-
It was up In Chicago that ho learn
ed to play ball on the lots and he's
strong far the lots as a training place
for ballplayers.
"You've got to got out and hustlo;
you pick up what you can; you mix
with every kind of players, good, bad,
and worso, and that's whero you get
tho experience also," declares Walter.
"Of course, there aro good players
who come from the colloges, but they
are not self-taught like the lot boys.
The college boy has somo one to teach
after him, some one to show him how
and whon to play. And then ho "plays
against tho samo sort of men taught
by others. It's different on the lota.
Thoro It's a question of the survival
of the fittest, nnd that's a rule that
goes and goes hard. The lot player
doesn't got any coddling. Those that
Burvlvo'usually know how to play ball.
"I've been playing ball as far back
as I can remombor. When I was a kid
at school I helped my father in hla
blacksmith shop in Chicago, and you
can hot I put In somo hard licks of
work there. It gave me lots of
strength, too, and I don't regret my
work there. I learned the blacksmith
trade, but I found time to play ball.
Wha doesn't If ho really wants to
play?"
Walter organized the first regular
lot team he played on and ho was
the manager', captain, pitcher, and
lead-off batter, which was somo Job.
Leverenz broko Into organized base
ball up in Hartford, Conn., and in 1909
helped the Hartford team win the only

him ' to play ball, somo one to look pennant the town had ever landed.
Important Dullness Requisite Has
Come to Be Material Factor In
Baseball Lends Polish to
Team Work of Club.
"Know your man." business men
consldor that an important requisite
In tho handling of their employes. It
has como to bo a prominent factor In
baseball one that lends polish to the
team work of a club.
Individually players on teams In the
major league ranks may bo regarded
as exports In fielding tho ball, but
often thoBe exports aro made by the
assistance of somo one player. Again,
a man is unable to show his truo valuo
bocauso tho player alongside of whom
he Is stationed Is not a finished artist.
But if a man knows hla side partner,
Is thoroughly acquainted with his
traits and peculiarities in fielding, ho
can do himself Justice although his
mato It not a clover fielder. Knowing
tho man with whom thoy work haB
mado many 'players look like stars,
although thoy wore not.
When Joo Tinker nnd Johnny Evera
played togother on tho Chicago Cub
team they wore regarded as the great
est pair of lnfloldera over paired at
socond baBo. This reputation has not
been takon from them since thoy havo
been separated, but thoy commanded
more attention whon togother. It was
because thoy knew each other and
wore thoroughly familiar with each
other's actions. Thoy plnycd together
one year without speaking to each
other on or off tho ball field. Yet In
that season they pulled off some of the
gnmtpst baseball feats seon in tho Na
tional league, only because each know
what to expect from tho other whon
ho received tho ball. Thoy wcro not
awaro of how Important It was to bo
familiar with each movo of the playor
nlongslle of them until thoy were
parted. Thoy moro than know it now.
"Know your man, I havo heard ap
plied In business, but it is Just as Im
portant In baseball," said Manager
Evers of tho Cubs. "One who ifl not
on tho field may not think so, but I
know more than ever slnco Tlnkor
went away. Thoro is no question that
he mado mo a great second baseman,
and I did the samo for him. It was
Just becau'so we know each other thor
oughly. There was not a ball hit
around second bag that we did not
know which one would tako it. It was
soldom wo became confused.
"I could run over to second base,
close my oyea and take a toss trom
Tlnkor bocauso I knew Just whoro he
was going to throw it. When he went
after certain ground balls I know ex
nctly what he was going to do, and
whon I wont after them ho know what
to expect When thero was a runner
on first wo had our signals arranged
so that we knew Just what to do."

This Is a novol way of giving a

show how tho names of tho birds

wpll to attach ponclls to the cards
and to start tho contest after nil havo

to allow for tho gueBslng.

BUggest their own illustrations.
Havo chicken in some form (sand
wiches are always acceptable) and
ices or cream in shape of birds would
bo appropriate. It will be easy to
manago "bird" cookies and perhaps
tho confectioneer will make nests of
spun sugar 'in which candy eggs may
be placed.
These-' would be charming at each
place on the table. Thore are many
delightful as well as inexpensive bird
books to givo for prizes.

A time-keeper, referoo and a

Perhaps tennis, croquet, archery
and baseball matches may bo ar

served on .the lawn or porch. Such
a party as this was recently given at
a country place callod "aiimmorslen."
It would bo a Jolly tljtng to havo
tho guests conveyed to and from the
place In a hny wagon drawn by four
horBes. Provide horns and havo bells
on the harness.
It Is needless to say that outing
suits should bo worn. From four to
ten aro good hours, but tho tlmo

of the largest number.
Unique Card Party.
Any gnmo of cards may bo playod
that the hostess prefers or that is
popular In tho town. Request tho

Tho scoro cards may be cut out of
cardboard In the shape of diamonds,
hearts, clubs and spades; tho mark

they will be dry.

A- Field Day Party.
This Is Just tho season for a "Field
Day" party with nil sorts of athletic
spores. The guests may bo any num
ber, but twenty-four I find is Just
about right for tho competition. This
affair is lino for children, young peo
ple and those who aro older grown.
Egg and spoon races are great fun,
ns well as the "neodlo and thread"
contest. Then thore should be run
ning races, forty yard dashes, Inter-
Smart Handkerchiefs.
If you would havo the credit of pos
sessing small chic belongings, have
your given name embroidered on ono
corner of your handkerchiefs. If the
bordering is colored, the name must
be in a matching tone, and If the hand
kerchief 1b in all-white, the lettering
must match it If you don't want all
tho world to know what is your given
name, have merely your Initials, done
In the daintiest possible manner In the
popular long style, in the corner of a
handkerchief that is either finished
with scalloping or hemstitching. But
if you would furnish no trace of your
identity, havo only ono corner of tho
linen ombroldercd in coronet design.
On Parasols.
Fine shadow laco decorates somo
of tho daintiest parasols, and It Is
put on in many pretty ways. Some
times tiny lace squares are inserted
in the silk, but in a number of cases
tho lace is put on in tho shape of a
frill and caught here and thoro with
a tiny pink rosebud. When the para
sol is simple and of one color it Is
a pretty fancy to have the edge out
lined with tiny closely packed silk
blossoms.
Double Brimmed Hat.
Ono of tho new all black hata shown
a double brim of straw. A plaiting of
tulle is fastened between the two
pieces of tho brim, which meet firm
ly on each sido of the tulle frill. The
frill stands out, or rather fallB, about
an Inch boyond tho edge of the straw
brim, and tho only other decoration to
the hat is a big, stiff black silk bow.

Unusual Play.
One of tho most unusual plays ever
soon In a major league ball game oc
curred tho other nftornoon at Detroit.
In tho sixth Inning, with the bases
bare, Harry Wolter, the Yankees' con
tor fielder, hit a terrific lino drive
straight toward tho pitchers' box. Wll
lott threw up hlB hnnd and succeodod
In retarding the speed of the pill,
risking the Iobs of his arm In so do
ing. It so happened that he showed
it up enough for Bush, who had start

to tho ball buforo it struck tho ground,
the fthortBtop catching It about six
feet from second huso. Under the
rules, Wolter was out, Bush receiv
