Tricks worked with such exceeding
peed as to deceive the umpire, the op
posing team and often practically ev
ery ono on the ground have beeu pull
' ed off again and again by clever ball
players, and many of them have won
games.
It In s.trauge that the Btorles of such
trlckB are confined to so few men.
Whether that Is because only a few
turned such tricks or whether all the
clover tricks were attributed to them,
Just on nil the funny stories are at
tributed to notorious story tellers, no
ono knows, but- the greatest of tho
tricks are attributed to Mike Kelly,
Jimmy MeAleer, Tat Tebeau, Billy
Hamilton, ComlHUey, Tip O'NclI and
Tommy McCarthy.
Trlvk ore pulled off almost every

especially In professional games, Is all

Dilryniple, the old Chicago star,
one wmi a name by one of the clever
est trl. I;.) ever pulled off. It was In a
gamo against Philadelphia, when the
peivi.mt fDi'times of the team seemed
wavevimr. The game was close and
went into ex;i -i innings with the score
5 to 5 I'Ui lmtU teams fishting for ev
ery itn-t. of Kioiiud. The eleventh in
ning bewail with darkness descending
over tJe Held, with the score still a tie.
Cliieas ) scmrod one run, "and the rhll
ndc'pliii crowd, which hnd the last
bat was howling at the umpire to call
the ;;v.w on a -aunt of darkness, but
ho r fus.'d, and the Quakers were sent
to t'u lint. Two men were retired, and
then a ngle mid a double suddenly
elm need the aspect of things.
Vi'itli men on second and third and
a br: hitter up, Chicago's chances grew
dim, and It began delaying and fight
ing for darkness. Still the umpire was
obdurate, and the ball was pitched.
Thi batter swung. There was a crack,
the sphere went flying out to left
r. It was lost from sight In an ta
ut, j lie crowa aia nor, snow wnem-
it wa a home run or a line fly.
Two players went tearing toward the
plate. In that Instant Dalrymple stood
still, shoved both hands above his head,
walled an Instant, Jerked them down,
stuck something into his pocket and,
turning, ran to the clubhouse, while
the crowd roared over Chicago's vic
tory. En in the clubhouse Dal confessed
that he hadn't seen the ball at all,
hadn't the slightest Idea where it had
fallen, and that his entire play of catch
ing it was pantomime, which fooled
everybody except a few in the left field
bleat hers, who saw the ball cross the
left field fence of the grounds and fall
Into (he street.
Johnny Kvers once worked a clever
trick tint resulted in a put-out. He was
playing second, find there was a run
ner on llrst when the batter cracked a
hot grounder straight at him. In some
way the ball shot straight between his
legs and rolled on out to center field.
Without blinking an eyelash Evers
went through the pantomime of throw
ing the ball to second to forco out a
runner. Tinker, covering the base, pre
tended to catch the ball, aud the base
runner, completely fooled, stopped and
started to walk to the bench. Before
the yells cf his team mates aroused the
base runner Single had recovered the
ball and thrown the runner out at
second.
Fred Clarke won a game for Pitta
burg once, when nttsbiirg needed
games to hold the championship, by a
trick which beat Chicago out of a de
served victory. He was on second base
with two out in the ninth inning and
Chicago leading when Waguer rapped
a torrlflc Hue drive almost straight at
Dnh! n. wis 5 'vas playing short.
Clnrl;e nlreai'y had started for third;
but, seeing that Dahleu was camped
on the line of the ball, he ran up, stop
ped, ma le a bluff as if dodging, and
Just bet ire the ball reached him he
dropped flat The ball shot past, struck
Dnhlcn on the side of the neck and
felled him ts the ground. Clarke reach
ed third before the sphere was recov
ered. Chicago made a strong kick on
Interference, but Clarke's acting had
, been so well done that It deceived even
the umpire, and an instant later a long
drive beat CLlcago.
The "Only Kel" was the man who
copyrighted the Idea of cutting bases.
Kel never tried to cut a base ten feet
lie wanted to score from first by run
ning around the pitcher, and that Is
exactly what he did In one game
against New York.
He was on first when tho batter rap
ped a grounder toward third. "WitiV
out an instant's hesitation Kel started
straight toward the pitcher's box, yell
ing: "Watch Kelly! Watch Kelly!" at
the top of his voice.
The umpire and the opposing players
lad too much experience with Kelly
md Ids tricks to pay any attention to
din, so the third baseman scooped the
ail and ehot It to first, the umpire
runnui!; there to watch the plny. Kel
almost ran over the pitcher, and then,
with oue fleeting glance at the umpire,
be turned and struck through, tho dia
mond for tle plate.
"Out!" yelled the umpire ou the run
ner at first base, and then, tunucg
qulrkly, he sought Kel and discovered
nku just Eliding across the plate wttb
a yfcll of victory. He had scored from
flrrt on an infield out, and, although
the opposing team yelled long and
laud, the umpire was forced to admit
ho had not seen Kel cut a base, bo the
score counted.
There was a trick attempted once
which failed to materialize because
Comlsk'ey was there with his rawhide
sarcasm. Will White was tho victim
of his own trick, and at the same time
he was cured of attempting to turn
anythlngvon Comlskey.
In those days captains were not per
mitted to take players out of the game,
except In cases of Illness or Injury.
Ono day Will While was getting his
bumps bard, and tho runs were piling
up against him. Commy caught sight
of a substitute pitcher hurrying to the
clubhouse and Bcented a trick. White
lasted out the lulling and was first to
bat. He reached first and on the first
ball latched started to steal second.
An attempt to steal second by White
was a farce at any time, and Commy
saw what was coming. Sure enough.
White slid, and, Instead of getting up,
begau writhing aud groaning on the
ground, holding his leg. The players
rushed around and still White writhed
and groaned.
"Oh! Ohl . Oh! My leg's broke."
"No, no, no, but your heart's broke,"
mimicked Commy.
And White, forgetting all about his
broken leg, got up and wanted to fight
Bill Lange used to pull off a trick
that sot catchers wild, and it was this
trick that made him the chtauplon bnse
runner of the league for two years.
He had a habit of starting from first
base at a terrific clip just as tho pitcher
pitched the ball, and then, instead of
continuing, he would stop short and
grin at the catcher, who was In a po
sition to throw. Tho moment tho
catcher started to throw the ball back
to the pitcher or to shoot It to first
I.ango would make a dash for second
and eight out of ten times would land
In safety. Ho always claimed that ho
could beat the delayed throw much
easier than a straight throw from tho
catcher tp sieond.
I remember when I first watched
I.ango run bases I marveled Hint so
many second basemen failed to touch
hi in. Ho had a queer slide, hut in doz
ens of cases the baseman simply failed
to put the ball on him when it looked
easy. '
One afternoon in Kansas City I
found out the secret of Lnuge's suc
cess. We were playing a scrub game,
and I was at second when Lange rap
ped out a hit. He laughingly yelled for
me to watch out as he was going to
steal on the first ball pitched. He did,
and KIttridge tfirew him out ten feet.
I grabbed tbe ball and started to apply
It to Lange, when suddenly something
happened. I remember going about
six feet Into the air and thinking an
auto had struck me, and an Instant
later lighted on my back and sat up to
see Lange grinning, with bis hand on
the base. Hugh S. Fullerton in Cleve

What I Dlrtt
An old college professor used to say
to his students: "What is dirt? Don't
be afraid of a little dirt young gentle
man. What is dirt? Why, nothing at
all offensive when chemically viewed.
Rub a little alkali upon that dirty
grease spot on your coat, and It under
goes a chemical change and becomes
soap. Now rub it with a little water,
and It disappears; It is neither grease,
soap water nor dirt. Thnt is not a
very odorous pile of dirt you observe
there. Well, scatter a little gypsum
over It and it Is no longer dirty. Ev
erything you call dirt Is worthy of
your notice as students of chemistry.
Analyze It, analyze It! It will all sep
arate Into very clear elements. Dirt
makes corn, corn makes bread and
meat, and that makes a very sweet
young lady that I saw one of you kiss
ins last night. So, after all, you were
kissing dirt, particularly if she whit
ened tier skin with chalk or fuller's
earth. There Is no telling, young gen
tlemen, what is dirt, though I may say
that rubbing such stuff upon the beau
tiful skin of a young lady Is a dirty
practice. Tearl powder is made of
bismuth nothing but dirt"
Petroleum.
A peculiar fact in respect to petro
leum is the difference of conditions
under which -that oil occurs In Russia
and America. In the former it is found
In strata of the tertiary period, usually
a formation resembling a quicksand
and at depths of only a few hundred
feet. In our own country it occurs nt
great depths In the older compact sand
stones and limestones of the carbonif
erous, devonian aud Silurian periods.
The oil of Russia consists of a class
of hydrocarbons known as nnphthenes,
belonging to the benzine groups, while
our American oil Is mainly composed
of paraffin. It Is to this difference
that the great variation between the
products frem these oils Is due, for,
while American oil yields a very large
proportion, say, about TO per cent of
Illuminating oil exactly suited for com
bustion In our ordinary lamps, the Rus
sian oil produces far less of such oil
and a larger proportion of high class
lubricating oil. Tbe Russian Illuminat
ing oil also requires to be burned in a
modified form of lamp, with a more
perfect draft, in order to overcome Its
tendency to produce a smoky flame.
LONDON SLEEPS LATE
Snails, .
The Idea of using snails for the cure
of chest complaints Is not peculiar to
the latter day Italians. There were
many believers In the nostrum In Eng
land a century ago, and quito a brl3k
trade was done in snails at Covent
Garden. There Is a quaint prescrip
tion for a snail cure In "An Old Lady's
Pharmacopoeia," published by Mrs.
Dclainy In 1758: "Does Mary cough at
night? Two or three snails boiled In
her barley water or tea water, or
whatever she drinks, might bo of great
service to her. Taken In time, they
bave done wonderful cures. But Mary
must know nothing of It!" London

THE SLOWEST TO AWAKE OF ALL
THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS.
Hard to Get a Breakfaat la Heatau
raate la the KnajlUh Metropolis. Be
fore Elfjht o'clock Paris and Berlla
Are Early at Baslness,
It used to be a common accusation
agalust the English people that they
ate too much, drank too much and
slept too much. Today we have vastly
Improved In the matter of drinking,
and there are not wanting signs that
wo are, as a race, becoming more mod
erate In our Indulgence In the pleas
ures of the table. Chancellors of the
exchequer have to face a decreasing
drink bill, and a popular dramatist has
given a new expression to "an English
man's god" in satirizing the worship
of "Little Mary."
But we still cling to the old fushloned
notion of eight hours' sleep as the
minimum for tho recuperation of our
physical and mental powers.
Do heulthy people .really require
eight hours' sleep? I answer unhesi
tatingly "Xo." Six hours should be
BUfllclent for every ordinary person,
and there are many so constituted that
Ave would bo quite sutllclent
Loudon lies, perhaps, the lutest abed
of all European capitals. The worklng
uiau, It is true, Is up and about in tho
curly hours of tho morning. He is
compiled to rise early In certain
trades and occupations for which day
light Is essential. But he gets his eight
hours' sleep by going to bed at 10.
That he wants to go to bod very early
In order to have a liberal allowance of
sleep Is proved by tho "two hours a
night" system adopted by those who
cater for his evening amusement. Tho
managers of thoseentertalnment houses
will tell you that the 7 to 0 "show" Is
arranged specially for the working
classes who want to be home and in
bed noon after 10, because they have to
lie at work at 0. In the morning.
So oue may tue It that eight hours
is the measure of all classes, the work
ers and tho Idlers, tho poor aud the
rich, the frugal and tho luxurious. But
It Is with the class that does not do
manual labor that I am principally
concerned. I believe that we are at a
greut disadvantage commercially with
our foreign rivals owing to tho lute
hour nt which we comnienco the busi
ness of tbe day.
A friend of mine bus recently re
turned from Germany, where he went
to carry out a Ms financial undertak
ing. He had letters of Introduction to
two German bunkers, lie forwarded
them, aud In one Instance he was re
quested to come and see the head 'of
tho bunking llrru at 7 in the morning,
and In the ottier to call and see the
principal at 7 In the evening. We can
not imagine a banker or a business
man of any position making either of
these appointments In Loudon.
The habit of lying Into In bed leaves
many parts of the metropolis almost
deserted till 8 a. m. I bave for years
found that 1 can do with six hours
sleep, and If I have an extra quantity
of work to do I enn limit myself to
four hours without any evil conse
quences. Aud so it happens that, go
ing to bed between 1 and 2, I am fre
quently up aud out In the streets by 0
o'clock in the morning.
Woe betide mo If In certain parts of
London I want an early breakfast. In
my own neighborhood I pass through
whole streets of houses, where at 8
o'clock the servants are only Just open
ing the front doors and Bhaklng the
mats.
The other day I went to a great rail
way terminus at 7:30, thinking that at
least I could get breakfast there. The
doors of tho refreshment room were
shut and locked. It was not until the
clock struck 8 that a waiter, who was
putting on his coat, opened the door of
the dining room for passengers who
wanted breakfast.
The Parisians are a late people.
Most of their cafes are open till 1 a. m.,
and many In the more fashionable
quarters until 2. But Parisians are up
and about long before Londoners. You
will find the business houses of Paris
In f-.'.ll s-vl:'-: at S a. in., with not only
the sta.i' i:v.V'r.t, but the principals.
Eater any of the Paris railway stations
on a fl:io Si;::da- morning at 0 o'clock,
and you will find tlie:n thronged with
a gay crowd of working class folks In
their Sunday liest setting out for a
day's excursion into the country.
I am convinced that one of the first
Bteps we hove to take to meet the com
petition of our continental trade rivals
is to begin tho work of the day earlier,
to waste fewer of the precious hours of
daylight In sleep that ceases to be
healthy If It Is prolonged.
"When you wake, get up," is a German
saying. Tho second sleep the morn
ing doze after the first waking Instead
of being refreshing Is the reverse. It
brings about a sense of lassitude which
frequently remains through the day.
All men are not perhaps, so constitut
ed that four hoars' sleep would be suf
ficient for them, but no man should
take more than six If ho wants to bo
"healthy, wealthy and wise." ,
Tho medical school of Salerno had a
good deal to say about sleep. It pre
scribed six hours ns the maximum for

"A fair average day's Journey with a

pushed the dogs will go a good bit far
ther than this, but that is about the
usual dally distance. They are cheer
ful workers, these Alaskan canines,
but one must know bow to treat them.
It will not do to give them more than
oue meal a day and that always when
camp Is struck after the day's travel.
The usual feed Is a lot of rice or meal
that has been well boiled, with somo
fnt meat thrown In for seasoning. This
they eat with great avidity, nor do
they expect any more rations until tlie
next day's close. If they were given
breakfast the next morning It would
be almost Impossible to get any work
out of them during the day. These na
tive dogs have so much of their wild
brother, the wolf, In their makeup
that they show but little affection to
ward their master. They will serve
him, but apparently on a purely busi
ness basis, and they Ignore petting."

Straight Talks on
Patent Medicines
Some three years ago a number of
prominent retail druggists realizing
that a big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gredients were of the preparations they
were advertising, and that a general
reform was about to take place in pro
prietary medicine manufacturing and ad
vertising, formed a co-operative com
pany to meet the public's demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Company, of which the undersigned
is one of the thousand members.
Our object was, first, to manufacture
a line of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found to give
the very best of results, and second, by
owning our own co-operative manufac
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula of every prepar
ation we were selling, thus enabling us
to give to the public the very best rem
edies we could find at actual manufac
turing cost, plus a single retail profit.
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany to escape the heavy charges for
advertising and other expenses such as
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, it insures
safety and satisfaction to our customers,
because we druggists know just what
we are selling.
A committee of experts was ap
pointed who spent a long time in testing
the merits of more than two thousand
formulas and prescriptions recommend
ed by the various druggists constituting
the company.
From these, about two hundred
were selected as being the best rente'
dies known to medical science for
the cure, each of its particular ailment.
The exclusive rights to these remedies
were then transferred to The United
Drug Company, which has since manu
factured them in its superbly equipped
laboratories in Boston under the now
famous name of "The Rexall Remedies."
Note then, first of all, these facts :
lsts " Rexall " refers, not to one rem
edy but to about two hundred
each for some one particular purpose..
Nobody knows better than The
United Drug Company druggists the
absurdity of the " cure-all."
2d. Each "Rexall "Remedy is a test
ed and proved success, selected
for its conspicuous merit from many
of its class. All had established rep
utations through their continued use
by physicians before they became
members of the " Rexall " family.
3rd. " Rexall " Remedies are sold at
low prices because they are free from
heavy manufacturing charges, job
bing profits, and the heavy expense
of being advertised separately, as
formerly.
The United Drug Company, which
manufactures the Rexall Remedies, has
already scored the greatest success
ever known in the history of the drug
business.
Three of the 200 "Rexall" Remedies, one for each human ill, are:
