he is the best substitute iniielder in
the country. "Stuffy," as his team
mates ca.l him, first saw the light of
flny In Gloucester, Mass., in October.
1800. He joined the Athletics in the
Bpring of 1009, having made a name
for himself nB a member of the
Gloucester high school nine and the
Haverhill New England league team.
Mack started him in as a regular, but
ho soon yielded tho shortstop position
to Jack Barry. Mclnnis got back into

At South Bend, Ind., where the
Wheeling and South Bend teams of
the Central league were playing re
cently, a Boston buU tCTriter won the

3. In tho ninth inning Crane of
Wheeling drove the hall into the out
field, and the terrier chased the ball,
grabbing it in his mouth and scamper
ing away from the outfielders, hot in
pursuit. Beforo an outfielder could
overtake the canine and pick tho ball
from Jts teeth Crane had gained an
,aadltional j?nsg and later scored with
the winning run. -v

He has batted in ninny runs at erlt
ical stages since he went to the f.
cornor, and in each contest he show-,
eigus of overcoming the nervousness
that laid hold of him before ho became
thoroughly accustomed to tho machine
like work of Chance and Tinker.
, Clarke Still Inventing.
Manager Fred Clarke of Pittsburg

twirlers from digging deep holes. T1h
Pirate lender has patents on several
other baseball utensils. Including a

New York Promoters Losing Money.
All the big fights in Now York re

the promoters, and three of the clubs
in that city have announced that in
the future the contestants in the stai
fights will have to work on tho per

guarantees from now on.
Different Methods of Handling Vets,
What a difference in tho passing of

of magnates.
Why Ed Reulbach la Wild.
Knowing tho weaknesses of the bat

Coohcy
points
Good Sauces,
There is hardly any branch of cook
ery which does tho cook more credit
than the preparation of good sauces.
To obtain the best results she must
study the nrt both 'n theory and in
nrac tii c. A cook who can make good
saures Is never at u loss lu ens'-' of
emerg'-ncy, for n delicate wincf ram
ble of I'tiiverting a plain clHh of wither
fish, llf-h or fowl Into a rlnlniy i''itr
and a plainly cooked vegetable Into o
high class entremets do legume.
In many households the preparation
of such a "simple" sauce as melted
bnttcr is left to an ordinary maid, and
the result is often a compound which
more closely resembles underdone
paste than sauce blanche. It is the
little details of the kitchen of which
tho sauco in question is a good exam
plewhich bring discredit or the re
verse on both mistress and cook. When
properly made melted butter is one of
the most useful sauces prepared in a
modern kitchen, owing to the variety
of which it is capable. The failure In
making it is usually duo to the fact
that an entirely wrong method is
adopted, which admits of insufficient
cooking of tho flour and a too scanty
supply of butter.
HoHandaise Sauce.
There is no sauce which gives a more
decided piquancy to a dish than well
made uollandaise. There are several
ways of preparing it, but to make hol
landaise as it should be the process is
not a very easy one. The following is
a good recipe: Reduce two tablespoon
fuls of vinegar in a saucepan with a
pinch of salt and pepper until only one
teaspoonful remains; draw the pan to
tho side of the stove, where the heat
is only very moderate, and pour in
two tablespoonfuls of cold water and
the yolks of two eggs (taking care that
do portion of the jvyjilte adheres to
fhemV and stir with "a wooden spoon,
watching the eggs closely, and direct
ly they show signs of thickening take
the pan at onco from tho stove and stir
In quickly ?nojKejX.JresJ butter.
Wh'en it has quite melted pfacethe"parf
again on the stove, but only for a few
seconcls, Jo reheat .the mixture, then
take it off nnd" add another o"unce of
butter, and when it is worked in re
beat as before and continue in the
same way until four ounces of butter
havo been amalgamated with the yolks
of the eggs. After adding the second
and third portion of butter pour in a
dessertspoonful of cold water, and
when the last ounce of butter has been
stirred In add another dessertspoonful
of water. So doing will make the
sauce less liable to curdle, when
ready the sauce should be of the same
consistency as a thick mayonnaise.
Melted Butter.
To make melted butter sauce put
into a saucepan two ounces of butter,
and when it has melted add by de
grees one ounce of llour and stir with
a wooden spoon until a smooth paste
is formed, taking caro that the rous
acquires no color. Pour in by degree
half a pint of warm milk or milk and
water, working the mixture quickly
all the time with the spoon. Place the
pan on a hot part of the stove, so that
tho sauco may boil up. and continue
to stir until it is thick and creamy;
then add salt and pepper and let it
simmer for ten minutes. Pour it
through a fine strainer into a hot
sauce boat and Just before serving add
a small piece of fresh butter, stirring
It lightly Into the sauco. In the event
of the sauce being required for fish,
fish broth which has been flavored
with vegetables and herbs may be
used with advantage in placo of the
milk, but in this case a tablcspoonfu)
or two of cream should be added the
last thing.
Bearnaise Sauce.
Bearnaise sauce, which is usually
much appreciated when served with
a filet de boeuf, or veal cutlets, is
merely bollandaise with a teaspoonful
of finely chopped tarragon, a small
quantity of chervil and a few drops
of tarragon vinegar added tho last
thing before being served. It is well
to note that a delicate sauce of tho
above description would be likely to
curdle if poured Into n tureen which
has been made very hot
Gherkin Sauce,
Gherkin sauce, which is often pre
ferred, when a sauce of this descrip
tion is required, to caper sauce, may be
made by adding some chopped gher
kins to some good white sauce which
has been sharpened with a few drops
of the pickle in which the gherkins
were preserved and a small quantity
of tarragon vinegar.
Anchovy Sauce.
For a rich anchovy sauco make half
a pint of melted butter and add half
an ounco of fresh butter which has
been worked up with two teaspoonfuls
of essenco of anchovy and stir in three
or four drops of carmlno to Improve
tho color, or, If preferred, fish stock
may bo used Instead of milk.
Maltre d'Hotel Sauce,
Maltro d'hotel sauco can be quickly
made In tho same way as anchovy
sauce by substituting ono ounco 'of
maltro d'hotel butter for tho anchovy
butter, but for this milk without wa
ter should be used for the white sauce.
HANDMADE RLOUSES.
They Are Lace Trimmed
and Deftly Embroidered.
mPOETHS BLOUSES.
Handmade decorations are a feature
of many of the new Imported blouses.
Those pictured here represent the lat-
est and most artistic efforts of a great
Parisian modiste. Ono of tho blouses
is of linen lu drawn thread work, the
entire surface of the blouse having the
threads drawn. It is heavily braided
both on revers and cuffs. Tho vest and
cofl'ar are of embroidered Jawn. -
The other blouse, "which is for dinner
or theater wear, is of blue and black
printed material. It is adorned with
circular braided ornaments "app'llqued
upon the fabric. Tho neck and elbow
sleeves are finished with point d'esprit.
Waists intended for wear with the
tailor made are elegant in their sim
plicity. They are made of the flimsiest
gauzes and so deftly embroidered that
they resemble more a fine work of art
than merely a blouso to bo crushed and
hidden by tne coat ,-tt--
One of the fads of tho"'moment is to
wear the transparent blouse over a
handsome Irish crochet blouso, but
when thLs idea is successfully carried
out tho sheerest of marquisette or
chiffon must be used in the overwaist.
The real chic of the tout ensemble Is
the effect of the heavy laco through
the fine mesh of tho top waist
Puritan simplicity and Puritan styles
are very fashionable at this hour. Sim
ple lines are invariably becoming. The
slim figure is given a graceful line and
the stout one is Improved.

WHERE HE
LEARNED IT
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation. 19U.
This is a story of Kentucky nearly
a century ugo.
Ono day a young man dressed not
In tho buckskin or linsey woolsey of
tho times, but in a costume that
smacked rather of Europo than Amer
ica, alighted from tho coach at a tav
ern and called for supper ami a room.
It was at the end of the stage route,
nnd the young man was obliged to
j proceed to his homo farther south on
horseback. Tills was the reason for
his remaining overnight There was
not much amusement to he found In
such a place, und aft l1 supper, hear
ing tho strains of a violin in a saloon
across the way, ho concluded to walk
over and see what was going on. At
one end of the room was a bar, and
at the other was tbs flddler, who, sit
ting on a platform of hoards set on
barrels, was plnyinif "The Arkansaw
Traveler." Thero vrh n story con
nected with tho music, which the fid
dler told, every now and agalu stop
ping to go on with tbo tune. At ta
bles scattered here oud there were
men, most of thorn in hunting cos
tumes, playing ciiriN.
At tho entrance of a young man in
civilized dress ever; one looked up.
Tho newcomer, biiru; embarrassed,
was about to rcrreac when ono of tho
cni-d players called out:
"Don't go, younkor. Yo'ro the pur
tiofit thing we've "ever seen in these
parts. Let's havo a look at them
clothes."
"Those clothes," said tho stranger,
"came from a long way off. As soon
ns I gel settled at homo I'll probably
go In for the costume of tho country."
"Whnr did yo' come from, anyway?"
"!'vi been to Germany."
"Oerinnny!" exclaimed every ono in
tho room. They had never before
heard of any one who talked pure
American corning from across tho At
lantic. 'Wliut war yo' doin' tbnr?-' asked
lil ...
"Dirt you go from hyar?"
"Yos. My father !!ves !n tho blue
grast region. My nume is Morgan."
"All right, sonny. If yo' hail from
old Kalmuck yo'ro all right, no mat
ter what kind of a rig yo' got on. My
name's speors. step up anu nave
snmep'nKS3'32SS5:7tw;J' '
"1 don't drink nnythlng except beer.
I reckon I can't get that here."
"Boor! No. Wo don't drink nothln'
but pure Kalmuck corn juice down
hyar. Step up and have some o' that."
"Thank you; I dou't drink whisky."
"Don't know how, eh? Well, we'll
teach yo'."
"You can't teach mo, for I won't
learn."
Tho speaker reached down between
his shoulder blades and drew forth a
bowlo knife a foot long and began to
poke tho young man with its point to
ward tho bar. Several of the others
protested that tbo young man should
not bo forced to drink what he didn't
wish to drink. Others maintained that
if there was to be a fight ho Bhould bo
furnished with arms to defend himself.
"is it drink or fight?" usked tho man
with t he knife.
"It isn't drink," said the other reso
lutely. "Well, then, it's fight What wcepons
do you like?"
"I'd as soon have a knife like tho one
you're flourishing as anything. But I
don't wish to fight. I'd much prefer to
go over to tho tavern and let you drink
all the whisky you like."
"Glvo him a bowle!" cried his enemy.
A man lu tho crowd handed Morgan
a knife of the exact length of that of
his antagonist, and he had no sooner
got his fingers about its handle than
his enemy made a dash for him with
his knife raised high in tho air. The
youngster caught it on his own knife,
making a gash in his enemy's hand
from which dripped tho red blood.
Spvers unlocked his knife and made an
under pass. Again tho weapon was
caught, and a fresh stream ran from
Its owuer's hand Then followed a
series of passes by Speers, Morgan
standing solely on the defensive. A
dozen times he could have punctured
his enemy in any part of the body he
chose, but h refrained.
The interest lu tho fight among the
onlookers was intense. Tho skill of
Morgan won a number to his side, who
kept calling, "Now's yo chance, young
un!" "Let drlvo!" "Finish hlmt" But
Morgan contented himself with block
ing his enemy's thrusts. Finally Mor
gan called to tho crowd.:
"Do you think this has gone on long
enough?"
"Yes. Finish It up."
"All right."
Every one expected to see him plnngo
his knifo into Speers' body, but instead
of that he wedged his own blado in
between Speers' fingers and the hilt
of his knife, gavo his own bowlo a
fling, and Sneers' weapon went up to
the ceiling and. falling, stood up in tho
Coor on its point
All gathered around tho victor and
Hrero eager to hear where ho had learn
ed to handle a knlfo with such pro
ficiency. He told them that tbreo years
before his father had sent him to a
German university. Ho bad joined tho
dueling corps and bad shown a special
facility for handling the small sword.
He had worsted ono antagonist after
nnothor and shortly beforo leaving tho
OEivorslty had been declared the cham
pion for that year.
Witty Ann Pitt.
Bollngbrokc called England's great
statesman. William Pitt (Lord Chat
ham), "Sublimity Pitt," and ho dubbed
his sister Ann "Divinity Pitt." But
that must havo been long after there
were written nnd received tho delight
ful letters addressed to Pitt's "Dearest
Nanny," his "llttlo Nan," his "littlo
Jug."
"Oh, for the restless tongue of dear
llttlo Jug!" ho exclaims in a letter writ
ton by him from Northampton when, a
lad of twenty-tbreo, ho had but lately
joined his regiment
Ann Pitt's restless tongue was never
stilled, for when Chesterfield, calling
on ber in his later life, complained of
decay with the words, "I fear that I
am growing an old woman," Ann brisk
ly replied:
"I am glad of It. I was afraid you
were growing an old man, vhicu, na
you know, is a much worse thing."

William Illckllng Prescott, one of
America's most eminent historians,

It is supposed by some that Panama
