Clark Griffith of Cincinnati,
Who May Lose His Job.
, Photo by American Press Association.
According to reports, Clark Griffith's
lays as a manager of the CInclnnnUs
ire numbered. Griffith hasn't had a
successful season as leader of the Reds.
Ho finished In the first division year
before last and then led the second
brigade, trailing the dust made by the
Jf mines. To sum It up, Griffith Is
about to lose his job unless the team
gets to working better. Those in the
know say ho has until July 5 to make
a showing nnd that unless he comes to
the front by that time Captain Mitch.
ell will bo placed In charge until his suc
cessor is appointed. Before ho became
manager of the Reds three seasons
ago he was manager of the Now York
Americans, and before that ho was the
pilot of the Chicago White Sox. As a
pitcher ho had a brilliant career and
j was considered to bo one of the best
during his day. Sinco he has been lu
the managerial end of tho gamo he has
won Just ono pennant that with the
Chicago club in the American league.
He camo close to it with tho Now York
club, and there was a lot of kicking
in Gotham because he lost tho pennant
In the Inst game. '
Jennings Weak on Twirlers.
With the fact generally recognized
that a team with weak pitching, re
gardless of Its offensive strength, does
not stand much of a chance In a pen
nant race, it would be most remark
able if Detroit retained its lead In the
present campaign. To date Jennings'
twirlers havo not shown tho form that
one would expect froin n team which
hopes to win tho championship. In
nearly every game they havo been
pounded, yet won becauso of tho won
derful run getting proclivities of tho
team behind them. But how long can
this state of affairs last?
Eventually tho other pitchers will be
gin to hold the Tigers down, and then
unless Jennings can produce pitchers
to fool his opponents thcro is not a
chnnco for him to stay In first place.
It Is truo enough that tho Detroit team
has a great lead at tho present time,
but It's a long route to October, and its
friends feel that without Improved
pitching the team is going to havo a
burd time of It before tho wlro Is
reached.
wny uutty uuit swearing.
Hugh Duffy, tho White Sox's nian
nenr. nnrnr Rwnnrn nn tho nlinMni
field. None other than Mlko Kelly,
tho old tlmo catcher, broke Duffy of
swearing.
"Kelly mado mo think bow bud
swearing sounded," says Duffy. "Kel
ly was catching, and I kicked on a

Kel didn't say a word back. Had ho
said something I would havo thought
nothing moro of It, but 1 was both
ered becauso ho didn't reply. 'I'm sor
ry, Kel,' I told him after the game,
1 .1 r 1 1 - .1 Liu. - 1 1 I , I . . ,
and I ,got to thinking about what I
had said and mado up my mind nev
er to use that kind of language again."
Ty and 8am Have Made Up.
Owen Bush, Detroit's fast shortstop,
was the bono of contention between
Ty Cobb nnd Sam Crawford in their
recent quarrel. Most ball players have
ono hit and run sign for tho man pro
ceding them in tho batting order. Cobb
has four or five. Bush got mixed up
on them two or three times at least
Cobb said ho did and Crawford took
tho shortstop's part, telling Ty that
his system was too complicated. Tho
hard feeling that existed between the
two star outfielders doesn't appear to
havo hurt tho Tigers a bit. Cobb is
tho samo Georgia peach, and Craw
ford la showing moro speed than at
any tlmo In recent years.
Russell on the New Ball.
President Russell of tho Boston Na
tionals Is out with tho champion freak
Btatemont about tho new baseball, no
ays pitchers can't curvo It, also that
It Is so tightly packed it takes the
giveaway from tho seams, which cut
tho players' hands. Why the ball
can't bo curved Is a mystery It's the
samo slzo as the old one and Just as
round. As for taring pactod tightly,
there was a suspicion that what makes
It so lively Is tho fact that tho rubber
ora Is not this yoar . fcwaaad in
cemented canvas sack.

Visiting.
I went to visit Beth nnd Paul and little
-Theodore.
It was a very pleasant lime: I stayJ
from one till four.
I think I acted mannerly, for Thon 1
came away
The lady who Is mother there said, "Come
again some day."
I walked till I was almost home, and Hit.
I could not wait,
For there was mother standing Just inside
the little gate.
The windows and the wide front dnor
seemed smiling down at me.
There was a very friendly look about the
applo tree.
The cat camo rubbing at my feet: she
had not changed at all.
The hollyhocks looked happy, and the
roses on the wall.
Tho little chickens chirped and scratched
about our bantam hen.
The lovely part of visiting Is coming
home again!
Youth's Companion.
Marble Games.
Every by likes to play n good game
of marbles. Hero Is ono that porhnp3
you do not know. Do you know one
called "bounce eye?" It is played by
several boys, each of whom puts down
a marble In a small ring. One plnyer
then stands In a perpendicular posi
tion over the cluster of marbles, and.
taking his own bounce In his hnnd,
lets It fall from his eye ou to the heap,
and. those' forced out of the ring by
this method are considered won. If
he does not succeed in this and his
marble falls within the ring. It belongs
to the common stock nnd is there im
pounded. Thero is nnothcr gamo called "con
queror," which Is extensively played
in some places. A piece of hard
ground, free from stones. Is chosen for
the spot. The first player Inys his
marble on tho ground, and the second
throws his own at It with all his force
and endeavors to break It. If he suc
ceeds his marble counts ono nnd the
vanquished player lays down another
marble. If two players have marbles
that have already vanquished others
tho "conqueror" counts all tho con
quered of the other party in addition
to his own. For example, suppose A.
being conqueror of twenty, breaks B,
also a conqueror of twenty, A counts
forty-one 1. e., twenty of his own,
twenty of the vanquished belonging to
B and one for B.
Taking Pictures.
It Is necessary to have two persons
know how to play this game. Some
code signal is agreed upon to help dis
tinguish the original of the picture.
One of tho two leaves the room,
while the other takes the picture of
another of the guests, which is done
by holding a spoon or some article
with a polished surface before the
guest's face whose pUturo Is to be
taken. v
When this Is done the ono outside
Is called in, given tho article used to
take tbo picture, told to look at it and
tell whose likeness It is. In a short
time it is guessed correctly. This Is
repeated with the same result, causing
much surprise among the guests.
Should any one of those whose pic
tures are being token' think he sees
through the methods employed he may
have a trial, but in all probability will
fail.
The trick Is that the "photographer"
assumes exactly tbo samo attitude as
that of tho person whose picture he
has taken.
The Song Sparrow.
The song sparrow is one of the birds
that build their nests on tho ground.
Do you know him a little bird, gray
and brown streaked above and a white
breast covered with brown spots and
stripes? Have you seen him sitting on
a fence or bush and heard his rollick
ing song? Tho song sparrow is com
mon all over tho United States. Prom
Maine to California and from Oregon
to Florida he sIuub happily six months
out of the year. A regular scout, he
sneaks along the side of a stream and
appears at a distance like magic. He
is equally skillful In hiding his nest.
Completely covered by a tuft of grass,
we would almost step on It before we
found it. We may truly wonder how
the song sparrow can find It himself,
but perhaps his eyes nre brighter than
ours. The four or five eggs are small
and hpiivlly spotted with brown, so
that they, too, are hard to see.
Blab Schools.
Within tho last half century "blab
schools" were to bo found In various
parts of Kentucky. In these schools
tho children not only recited but learn
ed their lessons In coucert. As, they
did not all study the same lessons at
tho same time, the hubbub was star
tling to ono unaccustomed to this sort
of work. It would seem that under
theso conditions an indolent pupil
might scimp bis work very easily, but
tu& masters ears were so keen that
ho Immediately know if any one drop-
pod out or if a mischievous urchin un
dertook to convey a private message
under cover of 'the noise. A sharp tap
of tho birch brought the culprit to
bay at once.
Cock of the Rock.
In Guiana and other northeastern
parts of South America lives a beau
tiful but lonely bird called tho cock
of tho rock. It has bright oraugo col
ored plumugo, tho quill feathers of tho
wing are black, and tho tail Is tipped
with yellow. Its large crest over
hangs Its bill. Tho tips of tho crest
feathers are tinged with brown nnd
yellow. It is a solitary bird, living
In rocky places. It hides by day and
comes forth, to feed at Bunrlse and
sunset. Its size Is about that of the
common pigeon.
THE MASIER
OF THE HOUSE
Why the Red Headed Girl
Married a Soldier.
Alvan Hart yas doing picket duty
in the south in 1803, A girl, n mere
chit of fifteen, cume tripping along
and. without asking permission, was
proceeding to pass the picket,
"Halt, there!" cried Alran.
"I'm goin' down tho road thar, Mr.
Sojcrman, an' I'd like to see you uns
stop me. 1 tole Mag I'd see her this
mornln' an' help her trim her hat"
"You enn't pass here," said Alvan.
"Why not?"
" 'Gainst orders."
"I'm golu' anyway." And she step
ped forwnrd. Alvan planted himself
In the road beforo her. The girl, see
ing that ho was determined, turned
nnd disappeared among the trees.
About 5 o'clock In tho afternoon Al
van saw a figure coming up the road.
and when It drew near who should it
bo but tho rebellious girl of the morn
ing. "How did you get through?" he ask
ed, surprised.
Tho girl puckered up her mouth at
him, tho only reply she deigned to
make.
"i'ou can go in," he told her.
"Who axed you to go in?" she snap
ped, making a face at him as sho
tripped by. Then he noticed how
homely sho was. She was freckled;
her hair was tho samo color as the
freckles nnd wns worn in n pigtail
down her back; her nose was a pug;
her teeth were her only attractive fea
tre, being white and regular; her eyes
were a steel blue and might have been
well enough had It not been for the
spltefulness in them.
Alvan Hart marched southward as
far as tho Tennessee river, then march
ed back to Louisville. After that he
marched to the sen and wheu the war
was ended marched home. Ten years
later he wns a business man whose in
terests lay largely in tho south. Hav
ing decided to open a branch In Atlan
ta, he went there to estahllsh it him
self. During bis stay he made the ac
quaintance of a very attractive young
woman with Titian hair and expressive
blue eyes. He fell desperately in love
with her and married her. The day aft
er tho wedding Mrs. Hart wns telling
of wartime Incidents nnd recounted the
very scene between tho red headed chit
of fifteen and the young soldier who
had stopped her while he was on picket
duty, tho red headed chit being herself.
Hart was astonished. Could It bo that
bo -had married that little vixen? He
concluded to conceal his own Identity.
"How did you go out through tho
lines?" ho asked.
"Thero was n shallow gully near by.
I got down on my hands nnd knees nnd
crawled through it"
"What made you treat tho soldier so
scornfully?"
"Natural depravity, I reckon. I re
solved that If I should ever meet him
I would punish him for standing In my
way In tho road with his musket point
ed nt me. He ought to have been
ashamed of himself." Her eyes flashed,
and her color roso at tho remembrance.
Mrs. Hart gradually took command
of her husband. He struggled to be
mnster of the house; but, do what he
would, his wlfo always came out
ahead. There was a certain persistence
about her that wore him out. How
ever, sho made him a very good wUe,
and ho felt disposed to grin and bear it.
Ho feared to let her know that he was
the soldier who had stopped her in the
road lest sho should reduce him still
further to subjection. However, one
evening when they were both feeling
especially happy tho husband went up
to the garret, got his soldier boy uni
form out of a trunk, put it on, fixed his
belt and cartridge box about his waist,
not forgetting his canteen, took up his
musket and, going downstairs, stood
in tho door of tho sitting room with a
determined look on his face and his
musket pointed at his wife.
"H'm!"
Mrs. Hart looked up. Thero was no
surprise on her face. She seemed
merely amused.
"Don't you recognize me. my dear?"
"Recognize you? Yes; you are my
own dear husband."
"Nothing more?"
"A very obedient husband,"
nart began to wince. Ho almost re
gretted that ho had determined to at
tempt to surprise her. However, ho
was in for it and must go on.
"Do I look anything Ilko tho fellow
who stopped you in tho road when you
were a girl?"
"Not much. You're ton years older."
"My dear," he said, lowering his
musket, "I'm tho very man."
Mrs. nart went on sewing without
reply.
"Don't you believe mo?"
"Believe you? Of courso I do. I rec
ognized you tho moment I met you."
"And married mo?"
Mrs. nart roso from her chair and.
going to her husband, put" her arms
around his neck. "How could I pun
ish you better than by marrying you?"
"My love," replied tho subdued hus
band, "I havo learned by bitter expert
em never to contradict you."
"You have borno your punishment
beautifully, nnd henceforth I will do
my best to make you happy."
Mrs. nart kept her word. Soon after
a little stranger came and made a now
bond of union between husband and
wife. Tho episode that was tho cause
of their marriage was never afterward
mentioned between them except in
merriment
