said Wlnflold Scott Larnor, former

"It was at Sixth and K streets. Tho

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."

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.
