After several weeks spent in observ Inc the work of young players in the minor leagues throughout the country Arthur Irwin, the veteran scout of the New York Americans, has come tc the conclusion that the left-handec pitcher is dying out. "I've combed the bushes this year as [.ever iM-fare." said Irwin on his recent return to Net-. York, “and never did 1 see such a scarcity of southpaws They are not to be had. “Mv experience is the same as the experience of other scouts with whoir I have talked. I cannot account foi it. except on the theory that left-hand ed p. rxon* are getting rare in ah walks of life. “In my travels this season I saw • • »• w 1- : hand-d pitch1 is. fewei than I ever saw it; all ‘my years ir ba< hall 1 11 venture the prediction that next season there will be fewei : • * southpaws in the big leagues than in any season in twenty-five years.” Fa th Shown in Birmingham.

PASSING OF “MINER” BROWN Chicago Cubs Ask for Waivers on Services of Veteran “Three Fingered” Twirling Star. Mordecai Brown, curving wizard, is soon to pass along, leaving behind him a record of wonderful deeds in the national gme. Waivers have been asked on the three-fingered star who has done so much toward bringing pennants and world's championships to Chicago, and his departure from the West side, slated for the near future, is due to the fact that he, injured his | right knee while engaged in winning a : ten-inning bail game last July. Since j that mishap “Brownie" has been of no service to the club and President Mur- i phy applied for waivers. Last winter ! he signed n three-year contract. News of the action taken by the Cub ! management leaked out in the east • and was confirmed by Manager Chance upon his return to Chicago. He stated j he had learned this news from an other player while sojourning in the - j Mordecai Brown. east. Although the waivers have been sought it dot .-n't necessarily follow that Brown will be lost tp the National league, for the veteran is regarded bv ! ev. ry manager and magnate in the country as a star and valuable man in j more departments than pitching. It was while Brownie was with Oma ha that Chance was first attracted by his pitching. He advised Frank Selee to land the three-fingered twirler, but j the deal never was completed until , 19uS, when the Cub manager showed ; through a trade whereby Brown came to the West side along with Catcher ONeill for the veteran Jack Taylor. ' Front the season 1905 to the present time Brownie has been rated one of the greatest twirlers the game ever has known. Four world's championships have been featured by the presence of the Hoosier pheuom. and in two of these he played a prominent part in helping the Cubs capture the highest honor in or ganized baseball. For three years he was unbeatable in games between Ohi . cago and Pittsburgh, while the New York Giants seldom were able to solve his delivery. Perhaps his greatest feat was staged in Chicago's final triumph over the Giants for the National league flag in 1908. when, after Pfies ter had been driven from the slab Mor decai went in and from the third to the ninth silenced the enemy without allowing another tally. Tesreau leads the New York pitch ers in shut out games. There will be a baseball league in Newfoundland next season. Ked Booin seems to be able to break anything but his streak of bad luck. The New York club still hopes to secure Shortstop Ole Olson from i Cleveland. i It is now practically certain that the new Ebbets field won't be d-.Si ; cated until next spring. Marsans. the Cuban, is the find of the Ciacy team this season. His hit-J ! ting is wonderfully good. Eddie Collins thinks Stahl has one I of the greatest pitching staffs evet j assembled on one big league club. Harry Tuthill, the train*r cf the De I troit Tig* rs. is back at his old job training the West Point football team It is said that Joe Wood, the star pitcher of the American league, butted into baseball just to keep from starv ing. McGravnor. the Reds' recruit pitch er from the Ohio State league, had a try-out with the Yankees two years ago. The Cincinnati Reds signed up an amateur twirier of their own town. The chap is "Chick" Smith." a south paw. Veach. the recruit outfielders of the Detroit Tigers. Is the first big leaguer of that name since the days of the famous Peek-a-boo. No truth in the report that the Pitts burg club is going to change Hans Freddy Clarke will keep him at the shortstop meadow. Connie Mack s,till believes that Harry Davis will make a corking big league manager Says Harry wasn't j given half a show in Cleveland. It has been rumored that Bill Dono van, eic-Tiger. now managing the Providence International league club »ill manage the Brooklyns next sea son. This is Hugh Bedient's second time with the Red Sox. He was drafted by Boston two years ago and later was sent to the International league for a little seasoning. There are a lot of teams In the Na tional whose players express the hope that Eppa Rixlev's ‘'paw" will keep him out of baseball next season. He’s likely to get pesky then. Frank Chance is quoted as saying that he believes Mathewson is still one of the greatest pitchers in the game That is a compliment that meats I much coming from the Cub leader.

She who has money to afford novel ties should go in for mascot jewelry. Never has it been more fascinating. Even if you are not superstitious, you are not above a luck charm of some sort. A safety pin brooch, with a stone 'in the center, has attached to it by a thin short chain, a lucky tortoise in gold or enamel. The mascot can be further enhanced by using ones birth stone. A motor bracelet of gold or silver wire can have attached to it various lucky charms, as the lucky finger in ivory, a lucky penny, a tiny rabbit's foot, and horseshoe, and a minute blue bird for happiness as well as safety. Sometimes these lucky pieces are worn around the neck on a fine fold chain, or they form an interest ing pendant for the watch fob. Great favorites are the lucky pig and lucky .bear charm, w hile a novel ty for the cat lover is a small bowl of gold chain, or they form an interest fish in it and a watchful cat at one side. A fascinating love charm which comes in circular or heart-shape has on it a plus and. minus sign with Aujourdhui above the former and Qu Hier beneath it. while beneath the minus sign is Que Domain, which translated means that the donor's love shall daily be "mere than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” The fond father now presents moth er with a ring containing the birth stone of each child. SMART DRESS This very graceful dress is la pale gray satin. The shirt is plain and has a short tunic of ninon finished with a narrow silk trimming. The bodice, of satin, is cut Magyar, with short sleeves, the long sleeves being joinbd on with wrapped seams; the low round yoke is of lace. The fichu is of ninon edged with fringe, it has long ends falling over front of skirt; these are also finished with fringe. Hat of dark, gray, Tagel, swathed I with tulle and trimmed with a feath I er mount. j Materials required for dress: Four and on e-half yards satin,’ 42 inches wide, five-eighths yard lace, 18 inches wide, two and one-half yarcs 40 inches wide, two and three-fourths yards fringe. — NEW FEATURE IN MILLINERY —— Summary of Points About the Styles That It Will Be Well to Keep Always in Mind. To sum up this season's new mil linery features, we want to remember that the head sizes are large; that the hats set wall down on the head; 'hat the crowns are moderately high; that the tailored hats are small, the dre-is hats large; that everywhere there is irregularity of brim and crown; and that the smartest hats have but lit tle trimming and are in combination effect. | A buckle, for example, covered with i fur will give a smart touch to a vel vet or satin hat. and just think how • little fur is needed. A few scraps of : satin can be shaped into wings and fin ished with an embroidery stitch, and 'thus make a new style trimming for j a last year’s hat. And then, too, the j idea of having the crown and brim of I the hat of contrasting materials is . helpful to the woman who wishes to remodel the hat she wore last year. —Woman's Home Companion. Dainty Work Bag. A yard of fancy ribbon about five inches wide, and a ysrd and a half of i half-inch ribbon of a harmonizing : color, are needed to make a very pret ; ty work bag. Put a hem three-quarters of an inch ; wide in either end of the piece of rib | bon. Midway in the hem run an extra row of stitching. This will provide a ■ place for the drawstring of the narrow j ribbon. Fold the ribbon exactly iq ; half. Turn each of the hemmed ends over to within a quarter of an inch of I the center crease Overcast the sel I vedges together. Run the narrow ribbon through the ! double casing for a draw string, and I the bag is complete ICis virtually a 1 saddle bag or ribbon. It will be i found most convenient for carrying j one's crocheting or other fancy work. Oxford Eyeglasses. If you do not wear your eyeglasses all the time try the new ones that fold like a lorgnette and are worn on a ribbon or chain around the neck. They are called Oxford 'glasses. These glasses are large round ones and are good for the eyes. They have a wide, folding gold nosepiece. with a patent, firm catch and a nar row gold rim. When closed they look like a monocle. A black ribbon, with gold or jeweled slides, is very fash ionable. Acceptable Gift. A woman who has traveled widely says one of the most acceptable gifts one can make to a friend going on a steamer is a box or jar of stuffed prunes. These are rarely given, can be eaten when other fruits are in digestible, and are mildly laxative. As one authority advises free use of prunes for nervous people, declaring they have a quieting effect, the eating the prunes on shipboard should help to check seasickness—always aug mented by “nerves." Generous Youth. "Walter, did you give your brother the best part of the apple, as I told you to?” asked the mother. "Yes. mother,” said Walter, “I gave him the seeds. He can plant 'em and have a whole orchard.”—Ladies' Home Journal. SUGARED. Kitty (blushing)—I am angry with Horace, and I only gave you that kiss through revenge. Harry (laughing)—It reminded me of revenge. Kitty—In what way? Harry—Well, you know, “revenge Is sweet.” Call to Arms. "Bang!” went the rifles at the ma ; neuvers. “Oo-oo,” screamed the pretty girl— a nice, “ecorous. surprised little i scream. She stepped backward into ! the surprised arms of a young man. “Oh." said she. blushtftg. ”1 was frighl i ened by the rifles. 1 beg \our par don." “Not at all." said the young man. ! “Let's go over and watch the artil lery." Palliating News. "Oh. dear, officer, was my poor hus band shot when you got him to the station?" “No. madam: only half shot." Most of our comforts grow up be tween our ctosses.—Young H_ I Mother Goose in Poultry Trade. “It is reported that the following oc ; curred in a small poultry store kept by the widow of the deceased merchant. “I should like to see a nice fat goose,” said a customer, entering the shop. “Yes, sir," replied the boy. “Moth er will be down directly.”—Woman's Home Companion.
