    CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE
Lieutenant’s Ideas as to Kindness and
Firmness Vanished Soon After the
Animal Got Busy.
There is a lieutenant in an Ohio
regiment who believed that mules
were much maligned, and that if well
treated a mule would behave accord
ingly. In his own company was a
mule with a bad reputation, and> the
lieutenant undertook to tame him.
"I will show you how this mule
should be treated,” said the officer.
So he had the mule brought in front
of his tent, saddled him without re
sistance or protest, and patted him
kindly on the neck.
“He needs kind but firm treatment,”
said the lieutenant
Then he mounted the mule, which
walked six eteps, danced three steps,
executed an original hop, step and
jump with each leg. and then projected
the lieutenant into the air and into a
thorny bueh.
“Catch the brute and kill him,”
roared the lieutenant, as the hospital
corps assisted him to his tent. The
men caught the mule, but did not kill
him. He was just as good as any other
mule.
THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay itching and irritation of the
Fcalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held >over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

Katherine’s Point of View.
Little Katherine is a believer in the
outdoor life, and she does not confine
her fresh-air activities to her own
backyard. Her mother recently had a
load of sand placed in the rear of the
yard, thinking Katherine would devote
her time to playing in the sand. She
did play there part of the time, and
part of the time she was out of the
yard.
"Katherine," said her mother, exas
perated because her daughter was not
staying in the yard, “don’t you know 1
had that man bring this sand here to
keep you in the yard?”
"Mamma,” replied Katherine, “tell
him to come and take it away.”

Little Mary was on the veranda In
the morning sunshine when she saw a
friend of the family approaching, and
without waiting to be addressed she
called: “Hello, Mr. Mason, I’ve had a
birthday.”
“Why, Mary, Is that so? How old
are you?”
“Four years old,” she told him.
“I wonder, now, what I'd better do
to you?” Mr. Mason pondered, and was
amused at the reply that came very
positively.

WHY BODIE WAS BROUGHT IN
Manager Callahan Wanted to Impress
on Mattick That He Had Com-,
mitted Grievous Error.
One White Sox outfielder lost his
berth as a regular because of a mis
take of omission that sheds an inter
esting sidelight on Jimmy Callahan as
a manager. It also furnishes a moral
for players aspiring to retain their
Posts as regulars in major league com
pany.
The player in question was Chink
Mattick. sometimes called Walter by
the ball players. The game in ques
tion caused many brain storms and
heartburns, for it was lost by the
\\ hite Sox to the world’s champions ;
recently at Comiskey park, before a j
crowd of fans that had their minds set
on victory. The final score wan 10 to
S. with the home team just failing to ;
furnish one of the most brilliant and |
successful ninth inning rallies ever
seen on a ball field.
The error of omission of Mattick
came in the sixth inning, with two out,
two runs in and runners on first and
third bases. Mattick's play was to :
get on by all manner of means, fill the j
sacks and give a chance for a pinch
bitter to clean the bases. With a
count of two balls and two strikes on |
the batter, Pitcher Ray Collins, the
southpaw of the Boston club, sent
over a slow wride curve. Instead of i
letting the ball hit him, Mattick fell |
back, nearly going down in his eager
ness to avoid being hit. That pitch
ed bail would have done Mattick no
harm. It was too slow to do damage
that would even ruffle the feelings of
a ball player of his type. The next
ball pitched was over the heart of
the plate, Mattick was compelled to
offer at the sphere and he hit the oval
for a high fiv to Harry Hooper, re
tiring the side and checking the first
White Sox rally of the day.
As events afterward proved, one run
would have tied the score, and two
I
Ping Bodie.
runs would have won the game for
the White Sox.
In the mind of Callahan, an expon
ent of inside baseball in all its va
ried forms. Mattick had committed an j
unpardonable offense. He had failed
to seize upon an excellent opportunity
to "get on" and boost along a rally. !
Mattick, a light hitting outfielder, Cal
lahan thought, deserved some sort of
punishment that would stamp the er
ror indelibly on his mind and make
him a better pastimer.
The batting order of the White Sox
on the following day contained the
name of Ping Bodie, who had warmed
the timber in the rathskeller most of
the season. The monicker of Mattick
j hich had appeared in the box scores
nearly all the season was a minus
quantity.
j SHECKARD IS NERVY WAITER
Goes to Bat Four Timet. Getting
Three Pastes and One Strikeout
In 24 Balls Pitched.
Jimmy Sheckard compiled a record
; in a game the other day that proba
' bly never has been duplicated and
never will. He went to bat four times,
j had 24 balls pitched to him.
: still never made a single swing and
! ihe ump had to call every pitch. In
| the first with three on. Jim had two !
successive strikes called on him and
then waited for four successive balls,
forcing Huggins home with a run. In
the third Jim waited for another 3-2 j
count and then was called out on a
strike that easily was six inches on
the inside. And it was the same in
the sixth and seventh. The count ;
reached 3-2, when Camnitz dished up
wide ones on each occasion and
Sheckard walked, getting three free
passes to flrpt, a strikeout, 2 4balls j
pitched to him and without swinging ,
at a single one.
—
Jennings Praise Johnson.
Hughey Jennings has this to say of
Walter Johnson: "Johnson is the j
greatest pitcher I have ever seen. It's j
hard to say whether Walter has more
speed than Amos Rusie. I have never
batted against Johnson, so I cannot
tell definitely about that. Johnson Is
ideal, not only as to his pitching abil
ity, but also as to his disposition.
Manager Griffith knows that he can
rely absolutely upon Johnson. If he
tells him to finish a game Walter Is
willing. If he unexpectedly tells him
to start Walter Is ready. If he ad
vertises his pitching days ahead Wal
ter is ready. Johnson doesn’t blame
his support if it happens to be a little
wabbly. ‘Everybody has to have a
bad day once In a while,’ he'll say."
Advocates Change in Rules.
Manager Connie Mack of the Ath
letics. Is going to advocate a change
In the rules governing the playing of
games. At the present time it Is en
tirely up to the management of the
home club whether the game should
be started or not when the weather is
bad or the grounds In poor condition, i
Mack win ask that the umpire be
made the Judge.

ONE OF BEST GUARDIANS OF SECOND BAG
Bill Sweeney of Boston Braves.
William J. Sweeney, the star second baseman of the boston Nationals,
was born in Covington, Ky.. March 6, 1886. He was a student at the St
Francis Xavier college, Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1902 to 1904, and a member
of the college baseball nine ‘'Bill” was slated for the priesthood, but stuck
to baseball instead, and in the fall of 1904 joined the Toledo club. The fol
lowing season found him with the Rock Island, 111., team, the Islanders selling
him to the Portland club of the Pacific coast league, where be played in 1906.
He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs for the season of 1907, a id after taking
part in fifty-seven games was traded by the Cubs to Boston f/ir Del Howard.
Since joining the Brakes Sw eeney has become one of the greatest ball players
In the game. He is not only one of the best guardians of the second station,
but is a corking good hitter as well. In 1911 he had a batting everage of .314,
and in 1912 he stood third in the National league list with a batting average of
344.
ROGERS CHOSEN AS HOLDER
Football Warrior Chosen to Lead
Chippewa Nation in Fight for
$15,000,000.
St. Paul, Minn.—More than a cen
tury has elapsed since the Chippewa
tribe has been recognized as a nation.
More than seventy-five years had
elapsed on May 6, 1913, since all the
Chippewa tribe of Minnesota met in
one general conncil. Indians who
were present during the general coun
cil which began in Cass Lake on May
6, 1913, all seemed pleased to think
that after many years they had finally
arrived at a point where the entire
Minnestota tribe would have one or
ganization through which it would
find what it wanted and, having found
out, speak as one man.
It was easy for them to see that a
man of their own who had matched
his wits politically against the white
man's best and received from the
Mr. Rogers as a Football Star.
■white men the verdict that they rec
ognized him as of at least their equal
in legal ability was their natural
choice for leader.
Edward L. Rogers, at present coun
ty attorney of Cass county, Minnesota,
physiciallv a giant and the superior of
most white men, as has been demon
strated by his feats in the Carlisle and
Minnesota university football teams,
was selected unanimously.
The council had as spectators many
men who have been more or less
prominent politically, for Cass Lake
has many of them- There was not a
man among them who did not concede
that Rogers in the chair did splendid
work in cementing the Chippewas in
to one body. There are approximate
ly 10,000 Chippewas in Minnesota, and
if they get all that is coming to them
of right every man, woman and child
of them will be worth approximately
$2,500.
It is no small task that has been
set for Rogers. The total of claims
that he will have to start on their
way to adjudication is more than
$15,000,000.

BESCHER STAR BASE RUNNER
Cincinnati Reds' Outfielder Not Only
Possesses Speed, but Knows
How to Use It.
Even though they have not won any
pennants, the Reds have laid claim for
several years to possessing one Na
tional league champion, and no fan
around the circuit has disagreed with
them in the contention that Bob Bes
cher is the best base runner in the old
organization.
Bescher and speed are synonymous,
but mere ability to get over the ground
is not the only quality of which Bes
cher can boast. It isn't always the
fastest man that steals the most bases.
Some players who can fairly fly fail to
purloin as many cushions in a season
as others whom they could easily dis
tance in a sporting contest.
Other things besides speed are need
ed, and Bescher combines them all, be
cause he is not only fast, but has
Bob Bescher.
splendid judgment, is able to get the
all-important lead off a base, and U
such a clever 6llder that he reaches
the goal many times through evading
the touch of the man with the ball.
Bescher did not get a chance to
steel many bases when he first joined
the Reds in 1908, but the following sea
son he got busy and he has been at it
ever since, committing larceny 54
times in 1909, 70 times in 1910; 80
times (his highest mark) 1911, ano
67 timds last year.
Cincinnati fans believe he will do
better than ever this year, and his ef
forts to surpass his previous achieve
ments will be watched with much in
terest.
Bescher was born in London. Ohio,
July 25, 1885. His height Is 6 feet 1
