On No Hit Gam and Two Triplt
Play Among th Sensational Thing!

Although the 1910 season Is still very
young and old Jupiter I'luvlua verj
unkind to the fans for the first few
weeks of the campaign, quite a num
ber of sensational stunts have been
palled off In the big leagues. In th
American and National leagues tbi
quality of ball has been on a hlgba
plane thou ever before, and, while tb i
fans of certain cities may be disap
pointed at the staudlng of their repie
aentatlves In the percentage columns,
THIS BPKAKEIt, BOSTON AMERICANS' GREAT
STAR.
they have to acknowledge that the
play this year has been fust and spirited.
In the first few weeks of play two
triple plays were made, both In the
National league. The New Yorks wlp
ed out threo of the Brooklyn players
at one fell swoop lu New York and du
plicated the feat a few days later In
Boston. Dahlen's Daisies pulled off a
three ply killing at the expense of the
Doves also. Tris Speaker, who Jim
McAleer says Is the best outfielder in
the country, already has made a dou
ble play without assistance, a rare feat
for a center fielder. Ty Cobb In the
second game played by the Tigers this
year beat Briscoe Lord of the Naps
out of a bit by throwlug Larry I.ajolo
out at second. Cobb, who, like Speak
always Is trying, came in fast on
Lord's loW llnor, Just missed catching
U ana then threw to seeonu anu re
tired the king of the Naps.
'Audio joss, pitcher, lnroutor aud
sporting editor, had the honor of pitch
ing the first no hit game of the your,
but there are many captious critics
who aver that lie should not have
been credited with this performance.
On April "JO the slender Cleveluuder
got the best of Frank Smith In u pitch
ing duel by the slightest of umrgius
1 to 0. Hill r.r;ulley fumbled 1'urent's
unintentional bunt, and the scorers
first culled It a hit. afterward changing
their minds und charging an error
against MeO aire's tall and capable
third baseman.
Bradley says ho was to Maine on
the piny, but many fan who witness
ed I))" tame aver that a point was
stretched In Joss favor to let the "hu
man slat make his second appearance
in the no hit colony. Walter Johnson
of thi Washington, Frank Smith of
the Chicago White Sox and Earl Moore
of the I'hilHes let their opponents
down with one rap hi nine lnulugs.
Of noble four bncgcrs and cleanup
swats there has been a bountiful sup
ply. J. Bent ley Seymour of the New
York Nationals and Tex Erwln of
the Brooklyn seem to have made
the longest loop-t lie-loop cracks of the
campaign. Miraw's outfielder and
Dahlen's backstop each hit the ball
over the high right Held wall In Phila
delphia. Flayers who have lilt for the
circuit with the bases In a, congested
condition In the tlrst few weeks of
the campaign are Norman Elberfeld of
the Wnshlngtons. who turned the trick
on April L'O. and Jake Staid of the Bos. J
ton Bed Sox. who came to time with
a d'"ive of this kind on the following 1

MEXICAN SWEETMEATS.
Vegetables of All Kind Ar Candied
or Preserved.
I was surprised ut the Mexican
swectmcatis said n Xcw Yorker just
back from Mexico. I do not think
there can be nnv fruit or vegetable
which they do not candy, preserve
in 6irup or convert into jam. -
In a queer little pueblo in the
itate of Zncntocns I heard a wo
man calling monotonously, "Cimar
rones, calabasas!" Now, these
words in English mean sweet pota
toes and pumpkins. She had a
small tray, held in place by a leatn-
er thong that went around ncr
neck.
I crossed the plaza and asked her
or five cents' worth of calabasas.
She placed several pieces of a sug
ary yellow substance in a paper bag,
and I realized that I was going to
havo the experience of tasting can
died pumpkin.
If you can imagine pumpkin pie
frozen hard and saturated with sug
ar you can get an idea of the flavor
of that queer confection. One
grows to like it after one has lived
in Mexico for awhile.
The cimarrones were also rather
ml i 1 1
nice. Trio sweet potatoes are uoneu
in water until they are soft. They
are then soaked m hot sirup and
candied. A final coating of pow
dered white sugar is added and
gives them the appearance of large
Easter eggs.
Beets, carrots, turnips and arti
chokes are some of the vegetables
made into sweetmeats in Mexico.
Tropical fruits of every description
are also used for this purpose, and
candied watermelon peel is a great
favorite.
The regular stand of the sweet-
moat venders is on the plaza, but at
night they turn out in force around
the doors of the theaters. A Mexi-
an senorita would not enjoy the
show unless she had a good supply
of native confections to munch. It
is her substitute for the chocolate
creams that wo buy for our matinee
girls.
Last New Year's evo I was in
Nogales, a pueblo on the interna
tional line between Arjzona and the
Mexican state of Sonora. A vaude
ville entertainment was being given
at the little theater, and about 8
o'clock I strolled over to take in an
act or two. It was almost impossi
ble to make my way to the box of
fice through the crowd of peddlers
that blocked the street and side
walks.
"Pumpkins, carrots, sweet pota
toes, senorl" they shouted in Span
ish while the light from many oi
lamps nickered over their wares
"Very cheap! Only 10 cents for as
much as you can eat I
It was a strango scene, full o:
color and racy of the soil. Indeed
it is tho sweetmeat venders that
will always recur to my mind when
J think of my viit to Mexico. Ex

An Ancient French Custom.
Anciently in many parts
France when a salo of land took
place it was tho custom to have
twelve adult witnesses accompanied
by twelve little boys, nnd when the
price of the land was paid and ita
surrender took place tho ears of the
jbovs were pulled and they were
beaten severely so that the piin
thus inflicted should make an im
pression upon their memory and, if
required afterward, they might beat
witness to the sale.
