Arnold Hauner, Former Cardinal Star. Arnold Hausor, tho crack Cardinal shortstop, is confined In a private sanitarium at Clflcago, and not much hopo 1b hold out for his recovery. He has been afflicted with religious mania, and breaks out violently every day or bo, Whon rational he la apparently as well us he over was, but hla physician stated to Manager Hugglns that ho Is much discouraged about his caso. HauBora bad knee, which laid him up for a time, has entirely recovered, and ho 1b perfectly sound physically, but Httlo hopo is extended of his getting out of the sanitarium this season, If at all. It is ono of the saddest cases in baseball. Hauser's troublo dates from the time whon ho lost his mother and hla baby. SENDER WANTS TO BE ALONE Great Indian Pitcher of Athletics Has No Use for Physician During Spells of Illness. In times of' Illness, Chief Bonder, the great Indian pitcher of the Ath Iletlca, forgets tho veneer of civiliza tion and goes back to tho Indian fwaya. 'Bender spurnB tho servlcos of a phy jslcl&n -when he Is sick, takos no mod- mmumb Chief Bender. iclne, but simply hies himself away and doosn't como back until ho Is well again, A short time after Deader Joined the Athletics bo was taken 111. Con-, nle Mack wanted to have a physician attend tho twlrlor, but Deader shook his head. "I'm sick, but I don't need medi cine," ho said. Connlo loft Dendor's room for a lit tle while, and when ho returned ho was surprised to And that the chief had slipped out 'Inquiries failed to locate him, and when Donder didn't show up that night or the next day, Connie became worried. For two nights and two days tho search was made for, Dender, but to no avail. He couldn't bo found. Dy this time Connlo was almost fran tic. Just whon ho was about to Bond out a general alarm for his missing In dian star ho xieclded to tako another look into Dendor's room, and there ho found him huddled up In bod, "Whero havo you been?" domandod Mack, flick," answered Dender. "But you haven't been in your room at tho hotel," said Mack. "Were you at a hospital T" "No. I wont away whero it waB quiet and where I could bo alono," replied nonder. "When an Indian Is sick ho doesn't want any nolso around, and he doesn't want medicine 01 doc tors. He jUBt wants to let "aturo take Its courso in curing him." Johnson Praises Yankees. Walter Johnson nays he never saw uck ate improvement in a club as Fraak Chance has shown in Uie New Yorka in the short .year that ho has boon at the helm. "It woe the worst ball team I ever saw a .year ago." said Jobnsota, "Mew anyone that beats It will know that be waa In a battle." Tho Chicago Fedorals as well as tho Cubs now havo a pitcher named Cheney. Mlllon Stock, tho youngstor playing wiui the Qlants this spring and show ing so well, 1b a Chicago boy. Tho Drowns will havo to look after their honors this year or the Naps will grab tho collar championship. , i . Ty Cobb, Nap Ruckor, Eddie Clcotto and Clyde Englo -all graduated from tho Augusta, Ga., team of 1905. Mauager Frank Chanco of tho Yan kees declares that In Truosdalo , ho has tho real find of the season. Otis Doc Crandall Is biasing n trfde trail in tho federal league these days. j.uu woo in how a regular piicuor. Tho veteran Georgo Kill, second baBoraan, has been signed by tho Ot tawa club, of tho Canadian league ' .Tnrrv Donnv thn nl.l.tlmn tl.l. basoman, is coaching tho ball team of1 tho Drldgoport, Conn., high school. Georgo Hughes appears to bo mak Ing a hit as manager at Grand Ilaplds, judging from tho newspaper commont Oliio Pickering, Amorlcan leaguo veteran, and former manager of tho Paducah club, has signed with Owens-, boro. Jack Enienroth, tho former Univer sity of Michigan catchor, is Bhowing up well behind tho bat for tho St. Louis Drowns. James Breton, now a mombor of tho University of Illinois varsity nine, is to Join tho Chicago Americans at tho close of tho college year. Amorlcan leaguo teams coming to Now York used to count on three out of four, hut now it's "If wo get an oven break in Now York." Tho fans of St. Louis call their new team tho Sloufeds, which sounds al most as bad as somo of tho things thoy usod to call the. Cardinals and the Drowns. Jack Granoy has a bull terrier named Larry as mascot for tho Clove- land club. Larry may bo a good 'dog, but as a mascot his best trick seems to ho "playing dead." "Ham" Hyatt Is kept in tho lime light by his successful pinch hitting. Hyatt's timely wallops have placed more than one gamo on Ico for tho Piratos so far this spring. Tho Pirates 'are described by a newspapor man who travols with them as ono big happy family 'with no fac tions, but the worBt "bunch of crabs" in tho world when they Iobo. Watched Soldier Play During Civil War and Complimented Them 1 Army Men Responsible for Popularity of Game. "The recont appearanco of King George of England at a baseball game, in a glass-fronted, steam-heated private stand, reminds mo of tho tlmo, In 18G2, when I saw President Lincoln nt a baseball gamo in Washington," said Wlnflold Scott Larnor, former Journalist, now of tho St. Louis ofllce United States customs service, on the return of tho Giants-White Sox world tourists recently. "It was at Sixth and K streets. Tho quartermaster's department was play ing tho commissary department Tho Civil war, you know, Introduced base ball to people from all parts of tho United States and spread its populari ty north, south and wobL Previous to tho war baseball was restricted to tho East. "This lot was an old circus grounds. Tho gamo was progressing merrily. There wero no stands. Ropes kept tho crowd back. "Tho well-known black carriage drawn by two black horses camo along. I flaw tho president get out of the con veyance and, taking his little son, Tad, by tho hand, walk over to see the game. This was before the dayB when cavalry escorts accompanied Mr. Lin coln wherever ho wont. "There was no inclosed stand, not even a seat Unobtrusively and unseen by tho crowd, Mr. Lincoln sat down In tho sawdust loft by tho circus back of first baso, crossed his feot, and sat his llttlo son up on them, between his knees. "Ho arrlvod when tho gamo was young and stayed to tho finish. It was the custom then for tho teams to give three cheers for each othor after the gamo was finished. Tho custom was observed on this occasion. "Lincoln took off his hat and Joined in tho cheering. Then somo one saw him and called for Threo cheers for Old Abe.' Needless to say, they wore Ivory heartily given. "Tho president thanked the crowd, saying, 'Boys, It waa a very good game, and I enjoyed It very much.' Ho took llttlo Tad by tho hand and walked back to his carriage. "I havo heard that Mr. Lincoln flayed a good first base. I do not think he ever played baseball. It was un .known In Illinois when he was a young man. Indeed, as I have said, the war aproad baseball. Tho soldiers from New England and New York brought 'it to tho camps and taught It to tho soldiers from other states. These sol dlors took It back to their homes after tho war, and then baseball became tho .national game. "But President Lincoln did like base-hall." BIG FACTOR IN CUB GAMES Wee Outfielder Is Playing 8entatlonal Game and Batting Hard for Chicago Nationals. It must make Fred Clarke's heart soro when ho picks up the papers each 'day and reads of tho deeds of Tommy iLoach. Loach Is ono of the main cogs In the Cub machine and the sensa tional batting and all-around work of tho midget Is causing no end of talk among tho fans. Besides being the leading batter on tho Cub team Leach's ability to play AND Smu winmllaH REMAKING OF NEW ZEALAND Native Polynesian Race Is Disappear ing Before European Forests to Be Replaced. More rapid changes in animal and vegetnblo llfo, says Science, are taking plnco In Now Zealand than nlmost any whero elso In tho world. Tho native Polynesian raco Is disappearing bo foro tho European; tho natlvo wild an imals amount to llttlo In contest with Imported species, many of which now run wild; tho streams aro full of American nnd European trout, which attain an enormous slzo; and oven tho forests aro to bo replaced by planting forolgn troes ns tho natlvo ones dis appear. Eloven million larches, oaks, spruces, Douglas flra and eucalypts havo already boon planted, and vast numbors of seedlings are coming In all .he tlmo. Tho roason for replacing the natlvo troos with species from tho United States, Europe and Australia is that thoso of Now Zealand are too slow of growth, although some 1 of them produco oxcellent timber. Tho Implantations thrlvo everywhere. SPARES A WOMAN'S FINGERS Magnetic Hammer Facilitates Task of Driving Tack All Danger of Injury Eliminated. Woman with a hammer has been the subject of tho Joker's wit from tlmo Immemorial, but tho opportunities for humorous observations on this combi nation wlU bo docreased by tho Intro duction of a magnetic hammer which holds tho tack in such a manner that It Is needless for her to mash her fin gers. Tho head of tho hammer Is mag- -sdsoZ' Magnetlo Hammer Holds Tack. notlzed permanently so that the head of tho tack or small nail will bo held there with sufficient forco so that It may bo driven pretty well home with out endangering tho pretty fingers which aro usually brutally maltreated In tho effort to drive a few tacks. PILLOW A LIFE PRESERVER .mm? r T?Pri 4vs 1 I' u Keep Person's Head Well Above Water and Leaves Limbs Free Designed by Marylander. Since the sinking of the Titanic tho patont ofllce' has been deluged with applications on llfo preservors. One of tho latest of thoso is that shown herewith and designed by a Maryland man. An elongated pillow, filled with buoyant, non-absorbent material, has a narrow transverse slot through which tho head Is passed. Thero aro also devices by which tho adjacent Tommy Leach. center field Is helping the Cubs win many games and without his services the Cubs would be a sorry team. All of this Is brought to the attention be causo of the fact that Fred Clarke, tho shrewd Pittsburgh leader, thought Tommy was all In and passed the vet eran player on to the Cubs at a good price last year. l is a Bate bet that Clarke 1b sorry he ever made this f deal. Leach Is playing a wonderful gamo for the Cubs. The fans in tho stands, tho real critics, are showing their es teem for this player daily. Leach Is ono of tho few Cub idols who is given a hand on nearly all his appearances at the plate. ' WIIma's Winter Job. Qor WW, recruit first, seeker of the' Red Box, teache mathematics lu Heading; high school la the win Charles II, Ebbots has his eyes set on two championships this year. Ho considers his Nowark club a cinch In tho International leaguo; and has strong hopes of a National leaguo pen nant Larry Doyle, field general and sec ond sacker of tho Giants, le perform ing in true championship form. The gonial captain can bo depended upon to do his share in keeping the Mo Grawttes In the running. SS a Intruder la Dropped Into Pit, Alight ing on Pneumatlo 8hoek Absorb ers to Avoid Injury. A burglar trap, consisting of a false floor constructed in front of tho office safe, a counter In a Jewelry storo or similar places, has boon lnvonted by an Englishman, says Popular Mechan ics. Tho floor covers a pit and is sup ported by projecting pins, bo adjusted oach night that tho weight of a person upon tho floor will causo it to fall, dropping tho Intruder into tho pit, whero ho alights upon springs or pneumatlo shock nbsorberB, provided bo thatjho may not bo Injured. Tho Novel Floor Trap. dropping of tho floor operates a lever which causes a sliding floor to close over tho mouth of tho pit FIND MAGNETIC SUN FIELDS Interpretation Suggested by Prof. George E. Hale of Meaning of Double Lines Confirmed. Professor Zcoraan confirms tho In terpretation suggested by. Prof. George E Hale of tho meaning of tho .doubled lines seen In the photographs mado at the Mount Wilson observatory of tho spectra of sun spots, namely, that sun spots are strong magnetic fields, tho direction of which is mainly per pendicular to tho sun's surface, 'says Youth's Companion. Tho behavior of a spectral lino emitted by Iron vapor between the poles of an electromagnet, says Professor Zecman, cannot be dis tinguished from the radiation of iron vapor Immersed in tho interior of tho solar vortices photographed by Profes sor Hale, although tho la' ' t aro situ ated nearly ninety-three million miles away. If this Interpretation is con firmed, Professor Zeeman adds, It will afford a vera causa for the perturba tions of the electric and magnetic equilibrium of our earth and its at-mosphero. NOTE DISTANT EARTHQUAKES Observations tVfado at Isle of Wight and In Austria Confirmed Next Day by Telegraph. An Interesting example of tho way In which modern seismographs record earthquakes occurring at a distance of many thousands of miles Is afforded by a .recent occurrence. Professor Milne at tho. Isle of Wight, Eng., no ticed shocks whose pofnt of origin was about eighty degreeB distant, corre sponding to tho distance of Japan, San Franclaco and Mexico. Ho thought it probable that the true point was in tho east At the same time Professor Do lor, at Laibach. Austria, noticed the shocks, and declared that tho center of tho dlflturbanco must bo about threo thousand Boven hundred and fifty miles to tho east Tho next day the telegraph brought tho nows of a great earthquake, which bad occurred at the time of the observations in Baluchis tan, Asia, tho town of Bolput having Bufferod severely. Every Day Ladles' Day. Manager Jackson of Wilmington is trying hard to have tho league set aside overy day in tho -week except Saturday as ladles' day. Ho alBO wants to have a free day for the W1V mlngton "kids." At present only ono free day tor women is allowed. As several clubs favor the plan, It Is likely that the league will mako tho change. Shortstops Go Astray. Five of tho big league teams thrs year lost their shortstops. Tinker and Drldwell Joined tho Fods. Arnold Hausor Is afflicted mentally and may never play with the Cardinals again. Ray Chapman has a broken ankle and Heinle Wagner Is a rheumatism victim. New Life Preserver. portions of tho bag may be fastoned around tho chest, and tho ends extend back and front for additional support Tho advantage of this preserver Is that only tho head is abovo water, and as tho avorage person weighs only I Mi pounds In tho water, the bndv belpw tho pillow has very little effect on Its buoyancy Tho arms and legs are loft perfectly free. Novel Clock Dial. A novel dial has been ' patented which may bo attached to any clock, transforming it, when tho minute hand has boon romovod, into a ono hand tlmo ploce, which tho Inventor claims is more easily read.
