SECOND BASE MADE FAMOUS $
BY FOUR MEN, SAYS ANSON. I
"Four men have made second
base famous," said Adrian C. An
son recently. "They are Larry
Lajoie, Johnny Evens. Eddie Col
lins and Fred Merkle." And then
Anson proceeded to explain what
be meant by adding:
"The kind of work they have
done to make second base fa
mous differs. Merkle's is far
separated from that of the other
three. Merkle nii.de it famous
by forgetting it.
"But Merkle had nothing on
Mike Kelly. Why, Kelly would
often forget to touch it He
would cut across from first to
third when he thought he could
get away with it
"Whenever we would start a
series away from home Kelly
' would get in his best work. Of
course they had only one umpire
then, and if he happened to see
Mike 'cut' second and called his
attention to it Mike would pass
the matter off by quietly explain-
t ing that the park was new to
him and he did not know where X
second base was located."

HOPPE AND SUTTON AGAIN.
Two Billiard Wizards to Meet In New
York Feb. 7. '
Willie Hoppe. the 18.2 balk line bil
liard champion, will defend his titlo
against George Sutton in New York
Feb. 7. Sutton was disappointed by
WILLIE HOPPB, WOBID'S BILLIARD CHAM
PION. his showing against tloppe In the
match played in GotliKUi in November
and challenged again.
Sutton is exhibiting '.ousual skill in
his daily workouts in Chicago and is
confident that he will make a far bet
ter showing than he did last fall. As
the match will be one night's play of
500 points the "dope" may be upset
Hoppe figures as almost a sure winner,
but he may have an off night or Sut
ton may play far above his average
cbampiot'Ship gait. The pair will also
play for the 18.1 title eurly in March.
WOLVERTON HAS NERVE.
Only Player to Be Hit on Head Three
Times In One Game ind Not Quit.
"The annals of baseball are prob
ably full of good stories about Harry
Wolverton, the new manager of the
New' York Americans," said a promi
nent player recently, "nod 1 know one
on him that shows that nothing can
stop him. " He Is the nly player on
any team who was bit three times
on the bead with the ball In one game
and would not quit playing. That
shows bow gritty he is.
"This happened several years ago,
when Dan McGann was playing first
base for the St Louis 'Nationals and
- Wolverton was on third for Philadel
phia. In running out a grounder Wol
verton bumped Into McGann at first
and Dan was so mad that be. grabbed
the ball, and slinging It at Wolverton,
hit him a terrific crack on the head.
"Later on in the game Wolverton
was walking near the Philadelphia
bench when a -line foul hit him over
the ear and laid him out. for a time.
In the very next inning when Wolver
ton went to bat the pitcher hit him on
the top of the head with a wild pitch.
Can you beat this kind of business?"

Wesley Was an Early Riser.
John Wesley was a strong advocate
of early rising, which he asserted was
beneficial to weak eyes. "When I was
young," he stated in a sermon on "The
Duty and Advantage of Early Rising,"
"my sight was very weak. - but it ia
stronger now than forty years ago. 1
Impute this principally to the blessing
of God. who fits us for "whatever he
calls us to do." but undoubtedly the

Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE
MONOMANIACS.
A woman died in I'eru. Ind.. the
ather day in a mean and ugly room
and supposedly dependent upon char
ity. In an old leather bag was $47,000,
which was discovered by wondering
neighbors.
Miserable creature!
Consider what the bag of gold
might have brought the woman. She
could have had pretty clothes and
comfortable surroundings, plenty tr
eat, medical attendance in her sick
ness, perhaps a prolongation of life.
She might have had the countless
little delicacies and the attentions
craved by the normal woman who can
afford them.
But.
She evidently preferred barren and
comfortless surroundings, rags and
bare subsistence. Why? That she
might close the shutters of her win
dows and run her fingers through the
gold pieces and gloat over their yel
low faces.
Strange obsession?
It certainly was! But when you come
to think of it there are many ways by
which one may sell himself for gold.
There are business men who will
deny fhemselres the common joys of
friendship, the companionship of their
families, the vacations they sorely
need, not for the sake of a living, but
merely In order to pile up money they
do not need.
Like the woman, they are money
mad.
They are monomaniacs.
Also there are women who care more
for social pleasures than for the wel
fare of their children and others who
will imperil their husbands' business
because of their mania for dress or
equipage.
Everywhere are those who sell their
birthrights for a mess of potfage.
Why?
Because of a misconception of the
value of things.
Emphasis is laid Uion things that
are not worth while, things that can
not permanently satisfy, things that
do not abide.
He only is sane who is content with
the simple, everyday things of a well
balanced life and who strives toward
the attainment of that which Is best
and noblest
, Explained.

again I will have cleanliness, yet-why
Is it I'm always finding cobwebs on
the drawing room ceiling?" -

over the appearance of pique in
striped designs. This fabric is assur
ed a vogue for all costumes, including
the one piece frock, as well as the
smart two piece suit. White pique
striped finely or broadly in red is ex
tremely smart and works up quaintly.

SUPPLY OF CATTLE
The Portland Union Stock Yards
Company reports at follows:
Receipts for the past week have
been as follows: Cattle, 1780; Calve
118; hogs, 1093; sheep, 2839; horses
and mules, 20.
The cattle market continues weak
with more offering than the buyers
care to handle. This depression is no
doubt due to the fact that trade in
dressed beef is very light as com
pared to former seasons, as well as
the heavy runs we have had for the
last month. Although the quality of
cattle was exceptionally good the
market was badly demoralized and
prices fell off at least 15c from last
weeks quotatoons Best steers are
selling around $5.90, to $5.95, cows
from $4.75 to $5 for the very best
grades. Bulls and stags are weak at
$4 to $4.25 for the best. A very draggy
market in the cattle division has
characterized this week's trade.
The hog market has stiffened up
somewhat the run for the week was
comparatively light and buyers show
ed a disposition to take hold of what
was offered. Market closed strong
for the week at $6.70, and advance
over last week's quotations.
Demand for mutton continues good
and ail sheep arriving on the market
this week found ready ale at prices
previously quoted. Week closed
steady to strong with lambs selling
around 5c, wethers $4.75 to $4.85, best
ewes $4 to $4.25.
