ERRORS OF MANAGERS Often Turn Down Players Who Later Become Stars. I Ward Miller, Secured by Cube for $300. Now Held at $10,000 by Mon treal Club—Hitting Above .300 Mark. Some of the rnea who buy and sell ball players certainly do have some ta-J half hours. What would you think if you had purchased a ball player for $300. had sold him tor $1,500 and then wanted him bark ana was asked $7,000 and severe 1 players? Wouldn't you feel like swearing? A couple of years ago a fellow named Ward Miller became the prop erty of the Chicago team—was drafted from a small minor league and cost $300. Manager Chance looked him over and figured he wasn't quite right He asked ior a waiver, and the Pirates refused to allow him to go. That was in the days when you had to seil a man for whom you asked waivers— uu pulling back Miller went to the Pirates, Clarke looked him over. After a while he decided Miller wouldn't do. and the latter went to Cincinnati on a trade ihat made Blaine Durbin, the ronner Cub pitcher, a Pirate. Clark Griffith looked over Miller and hacked tha judgment of Chance and Clarke. He figured Miller would cot do in the majors, and be went to the Eastern league. Well, this year Mil ler struck his stride. He is hitting : over .300 tor the Montreal club and ■ running the bases like a wild man ! George Huff, the Cub scout, went tc : look him over. Huff wired President Murphy that Miller could be secured for $7,000 and two players. suck aruuuu uuiu iuuiurro« ; may be they will come down." was Mur phy's answer by wire to his scout. The next day the Cub presideut received an answer, it read like this: "Price har gone up—now they want $10,000." and the telegram was signed Huff “Catch the first train or they'll bcost the price to $20,000." were the instruc tions of President Murphy. Don't you suppose the Cub magnate teels like bottling himself when he thiuks of the time when he had this fellow at a cost of $200? And these same baseball men will give you a warm time if you attempt to convince them that O'Toole, the St. Paul pitcher, cost Barney Dreyfuss $22,500 in real money. Here's one that President Comlskey of the Sox telis on Joe Cantillon. Joe, it will be re membered, was formerly the manager of the Washington team in the Amer ican league and then went to Minne apolis to boss that team. "Joe had heard that somebody had offered Lemon $12,000 for O'Toole." said President Comlskey. “So the next ; time that oJe saw Lennon he opened j on him: T understand that you have been offered $12,000 for O'Toole.' said | Joe. 'Yes.' was Lennon's reply. ‘Well, 1 guess I'm the biggest fool of all.' said Joe. 'In the first place 1 didn't know there was anybody in baseball so crazy as to offer that much money j for any ball player. And. in the next : place, I would have sworn there was nobody in baseball crazy enough to have turned down such an offer, once he had It.' *' Which shows you that the faus were not the only ones to gasp at the price. Even practical baseball men had a difficult time believing that any mag nate would separate himself from tbat amount of money for a ball player. GREAT FUTURE FOR HARMON $ Manager Bresnahan Predicts Twirler Will Be Baseball’s Greatest Pitcher Next Season.

Woman Baseball Scout. Washington is the first city to come across with a woman baseball scout. She lives in Lowell, Mass., and has written several letters to McAleer concerning ball players in the vicinity of where she lives, and Mac sends Mike Kahoe, the old Red catcher, up to see them work. He lost one man. She recommended Wolfgang, whom the St. Louis Browns grabbed. Mc Aleer is thinking of sending her out on the road. Cicotte la Consistent.

Physicians Have Traced Many Other Ailments to Electricity—Increas ing Use Causes Much Apprehension. New York.—Wireless toothache, due to the high tension electrical currents produced in sending wireless mes sages, is the latest disease discovered by New York physicians, and it is said hundreds of wireless operators, professional and amateur. In this city and its neighborhood are suffering from It Prediction Is also made that the heavy currents discharged by the wireless telegraph will produce other nervous disesses among those who ex- i pose themselves too much to such phenomena. There perhaps are thou- : sands of amateur wireless operators in New York city. Investigation dis closes that many of them have hail ; toothache since they began their wire less studies ajid experiments. What other diseases of a nervous sort have followed In the wake o' the current only will be revealed by scientific In- ' vestigation. A prominent European physician discovered the wireless toothache, and the bad effect of the high tension cur- 1 rents on the nerves of his patients. | He predicts there will be a general ' Increase of nervous ailments, due to that cause. That physician says the neurotic elements are affected so by the currents that a low grade neuritis is produced which progresses accord ing to each patient’s general physical condition, hygienic surroundings, oc cupation and habits. The Europeon Investigator points out that the elec tricity artificially permeates the sur rounding atmosphere and that a per son brought In contact with it. day after day. must have a good constltu tion to withstand Its effects Weak persons even may suffer from aggra vated forms of nervous disorder by * the wireless process, he asserts. When the European physician an nounced the discovery of wireless toothache he was scoffed at by other doctors, who had not studied the ques tion as he had. The discovery, how ever, is being regarded seriously on both sides of the Atlantic, and skilled minds are seeking to discover what other ailments may be caused by such high tension currents being loose in the air. It is recalled the X-ray afreets the skin and tissues insidiously and often disastrously. Nor Is It any secret that persons who are compelled to pass long periods in rooms where big dyna mos are In operation frequently show neurotic tendencies. Physicians who use the ultra-vioiet. high tension and other forms of electricity in treatment often suffer neurotic affections. These things Indicate, it is suggested, that disease producing qualities !urk in electricity of which little is known as yet. Third rails, live trolley wires, telephone and telegraph wire- and other agencies are discharging into the air constantly currents of elec tricity which pass through persons in the streets and elsewhere, and there are physicians who fear that as the use of electricity increases, wireless telegraphy and telephony get in full swing, wireless toothache will be merely one of a long list of nervous diseases directly traceable to excess of electricity In the atmosphere.

Wash.—Polo wing the news that gronnd squirrels caught along the Columbia river were found to be in fested with germs of the bubonic plague, government employes are go ing through farms and ranches poison ing and killing the squirrels by every method yet devised. The ground squirrels of the Pacific slope from southern California to Brit ish Columbia have been found to pos sess the germs of the plague. The lo calities where the germ-laden squir rels have been discovered are yet widely separated, but the federal au thorities are taking no chances with the pests carrying the disease farther away. The squirrels are being poisoned and trapped by the federal employes, who are making every effort to prevent communication of the plague germ to tile rats of the cities and towns along the coast. Since embedded in the black wharf rats of the coast cit ies the danger of a quick spread of the plague to human beings is almost certain. It is said by experts that a bite by the ground squirrel or rat in fected by the germs would be suffi cienuto transmit the disease to other animals and to human beings. Because of its prevalence in parts of the northwest, farmers who have been employing cats to rid the fields of gophers and squirrels have been warned to keep the cats in. lest they, too. become infected, making it easy to transmit the disease to the family.

NEW SKIRT DISPLAYS ANKLES Man Milliner of New York Tells of French Style Which Permits of Easy Walking by Women. New York.—Charles Kurzman. the world famous Fifth avenue milliner, who arrived the other day on the Kaiser Wilhelm II., brought word of a new fashion set at Trouvllle to per mit of more graceful walking and showing the ankles. The new style, set by the Baronne de Vaughan at the French watering place, is the antithe sis of the old hobble skirt, which re stricted and hampered walking in stead of making it easy. Mr. Kurzman also declared that the fashion of the season will be curves in the making of gowns and that the Parisian couteriers have orders to make curves, no matter how the fig ure. and that they bad evolved some startling effects. Fur hais and large velvet bats will be the rage this season and paradise and ostrich feathers, as well as goura. will be seen much In fashionable bead gear. “SEA SERPENT’ IN A CANAL - ? Bather Who Fled Before It Says Its Head Was Like a Dog's—Fol lowed by Several Men. Richfield. N. J.—Several bathers In the Mortis canal made a hasty retreat from the water when the cry of "devil fish” was raised by Robert Thompson, a farm band. Thompson, who wa« some distance from the other bathers, declares that when he first saw the monster It was following him with Its bead out of the water. He at first thought It was a small dog. but on looking at it more closely he discovered, he says, that Its head was similar to that of a por poise. The 81range creature followed him to the bank, and he says he climbed up the bank Just In time to escape It The monster then turned about and went down stream toward the other bathers. Not knowing what the thing was and wishing to warn the others. Thompson called out: “Look out for the devil fish!” This had the desired result and the men left the water. Albert Woodrow of Brookdale, who had a good view of the thing as It passed him In the water, says that it was at least 10 feet long, had a round greenish body and a head as big as that of a bulldog, which It bobbed up out of the water at intervals. “If it was a water snake." declared Wood row. "It warn the biggest I ever saw. and 1 have seen hundreds of them." Several men followed It down th« canal for a short distance, but It went so fast that they soon lost sight of it Word was sent to the lock tender at the Bloomfield plane to keep a look out for the fish, but so far It has not been seen at that point The alarm reached Bloomfield and the several bathing resorts on the canal were soon deserted. Another Matter. “There goes a man who _ would charge to the cannon's mouth." "Maybe, so, but would he face the fire of the rocking chair brigade at i cummer hotel?" CHILD PREVENTS SPREE - 4e_— Bad Man of Nevada Meets Penniless Tot. Shows Her the Sights and Goes Home Sooer. Winnemucca, Nev.—Tbe other day Jack Woodruff mounted his horse at Paradise. Nev.. 45 miles from Winne mucca—off tbe railroad, but on tbe map—concluding to take in tbe circus which showed here. His Intention waa. In addition to seeing the circus, to make a day of It after the manner of the reckless kind—not only shoot ing up the town as In days or yore, but as near to it as modern civilised conditions would *iermlt Everything, however, moved wrong with Jack when be got to Winne mucca, and In a somewhat surly mood he lounged to the circus lot early, took In the side show, bought his tick et for the big three-ringed event and meandered toward the front door. A little girl, trembling with excite ment at the novel scenes about her, was standing In his way. He halted and said curiously: "Sir. ain’t you going to the circus 7" “Me." she timidly answered. “I ! haven't got the money." Whereupon I Jack went back and bought a ticket i for the girL While the fire engine was running to the clown's fire and Rescue Hose No. 1 was doing antics saving people and the whole tent was in an uproar, he turned to the little girl and said: “Sis, how do you like the circus?" All she replied was: "Tt’a Just beau tiful." This was repeated in answering his questions a half dosen times, and Jack's Interest in the child , became in tensified. . When the performance in the big tent was over he seised her by the hand and took her into the menagerie, where she eras mystified and delight ed and was loathe to leave, hanging back and taking a last lingering look at the camels and elephants. When Jack got her to the front door, or marque, be met the balloon boy and bought the blue-eyed little girl in a blue calico dress a blue balloon and another bag of popcorn. “Little girl, how did you like th« circus?" he finally inquired, smtlingly and almost tenderly. "It was Just beautiful." she answer ed again, with tears running down her cheeks. And Jack, putting his hand to his /eyes, found tears running down there, also. A moment later he called out, “Good-by. little girl." and. getting on his horse, rode back to Paradise. 45 miles away. When he reached home bis folks asked hint how be liked the show, whereupon he answered somewhat softly tor him: "ft was bully! Sared me a bit drunk, somehow." Wants Husband Declared Dead.

IT SAVES TIME AND TEMPER Wise and Methodical Housewives Havs a Cleaning Up Day About Once a Month. A good plan followed by methodical housewives is to set aside a day occa lionally—say. once in four months or jo—for a general clearance of odd nents and the putting straight of cup boards and wardrobes. One whole day bassed in thus attending to details will result. later on, in the saving of ,'aluable time and perhaps, of temper ilso. Apart from such important items »s checking the contents of the linen buplfoard of kitchenware, etc., there ire many things in the home that re ; luire regular attention. On the ''miscellaneous” day it is as well tq lay down a dusting street in t >ne particular room, which will serve is a receptacle for all rubbish intend ?d to be thrown away. • W riting desks will probably require .'onsiderable attention; old blotting baper should be consigned to the dust i ng sheet and replaced by fresh blot ing paper; inkpots that have become ! blogged should be emptied, washed »nd refilled; pencils should be sharp ; sned; old nibs thrown away and fresh >nes substituted. Another little task for the ‘‘miscel aneous” day Is to collect together i blunt knives and scissors and send hem to be sharpened. Music, too, nay be looked through and torn pieces set aside for mending later on. Then again, if time permits, it is well to include in this occasional work .he overhauling of traveling trunks, noting any repairs that may be neces sary, seeing that straps are in their - blaces and locks and keys in good or i ler. and polishing any leather trunks .hat look dusty, and would be the bet j ;er for the application of nourishing bream. LEGS FOR TRUNK DEVISED They Are Pivotally Attached to the Corners and Fold Along the Bottom. An Illinois man’s device for sup porting steamer and other small trunks so that the owner does not have to break his back or get down on his knees to get Into them should Interest many people. "Shis support ing device consists of four legs, eact pivotally attached to a corner of the i- 1 trunk at the bottom. When not In us* the legs fold up along the bottom line i of the trunk and protect the corners | When the receptacle is to be packed ; or unpacked or is to be used as a bu reau in a two-by-four hotel room, the i legs can be extended and locked Into j position, supporting the trunk about 1 eight inches above the floor and mak ! ing it much easier or access. In either the extended or the folded position the legs are so firmly locked that there is no danger of their collapsing, in the | one instance, or being broken off, in j the other. — Removing Grease. If your kitchen table is spottec ! with grease, or if the dresser has dabs j and spots of grease on it. you cat ! clean the woodwork perfectly b> | scrubbing it rigorously with hot water j to which’a teaspoonful of whiting has j been added. Wipe thoroughly dry with a clear cloth and the wood will be as good as new. It is well to have both table and dresser covered with white table oil cloth that can be washed after each meal. If you do use oil cloth provide yourself with thick mats of card board or asbestos on which to set hot plates or skillets, for heat will surely ruin any oil cloth witn which it comes directly in contact. ^ Ragout of Vegetables. Parboil one carrot, one turnip, two 'potatoes, two ears of corn, one cup lima beans, the same of peas, one onion and with them one pound of salt pork Slice all the above vege tables. Put into a saucepan with a cup of the soup before thickening: season well. Cut the corn from the cob and add with the peas and beans and a sliced tomato as soon as the rest are hot. Stew all together half an hour. Stir in a lump of butter rolled in flour. Stew five minutes and pour into a deep dish. Sour Cream. Sour milk and cream may be utilised In making cottcge cheese, griddle cakes, etc. One-half cupful of thick sour cream added to a veal or beef loaf when mixing makes it very moist and unusually good. Sour cream may also take the place af sweet milk in boiled dressings for salads and sandwich fillings. It Is a splendid substitute for sweet milk when making chocolate or maple fudge ' for candy or cake filling. Sour milk will clean allverware beautifully. Starch Polish for Pino Limn. To make a supply of starch polish to keep on hand for boll starching fine linens which require a gloss flu tab. melt together with gentle heat an ounce of white wax, two ounces of spermaceti; to melt them put them Into an earthen Jar and set In a pan of hot water placed on the back of the range. When well blended pour It Into a mould and use a piece about the else of a hate) nut. more or leas the ttrr 'torched articles in an average washing.
