MAKES GOOD AT LAST.
Mattick Was Tried Out by Chicago For
Several Years.
Looks as If Mattick, tbe western
league outfielder, bad at last gained a
big league berth the Chicago Ameri
cans are going to try him thoroughly.
How many years has this Mattick been
on the White Sox list and bow many
spring training trips has he taken with
the team ? Comiskey surely keeps some
of them on tbe card a long, long time.
Some of them come in each spring for
the training trip, fall out again and
reappear next spring, perhaps never
to make the team. Other? are farmed
out each season, come back again and
again and finally get their chance to
stay. How many years did Louis Fiene
and Frank Lange do the bobbing up
and down act, anyhow?
Perhaps the cruelest Joke in this con-
nection was on the Old Roman when
he carried Hub Hart so many years.
Hub was a fine young catcher when he
firs Joined the team. He was kept
on the bench for years, waiting for the
time when he should replace Billy Sul
livan, and Billy stuck in the harness so
steadily that when he was finally dis
abled and the time of need had come
to both the club and Hart, poor Hart
had grown so rusty he could hardly
catch at all.
INVENTS A "CURVER."
Contrivance to Curve a Baseball Made
by a Westerner.
Inventive genius Has contributed a
great many things !. baseball, but the
latest and most interesting if not vast
ly important is a device for automat
ically curving a ball. The success of
the invention is yet to be proved as
far as practical use is concerned, but
If it does all that is claimed for it the
small boy will no longer have to spend
tedious hours learning to grip the ball
for the various shoots and benders.
This device is a small suction cup
that is strapped into the fingers by
means of a rubber band and. is the in
vention of E. W. Jones of Lincoln,
Neb. The suction cup holds the ball
and may be shifted to any position
with respect to the fingers, thus regu
lating the size and kind of curves. The
cup performs the ofBce of the fingers in
ordinary curve throwing, the style of
curve depending on the manner in
which the ball is released. The in
ventor claims this contrivance com
pletely solves the mastery of curves
and that any one with a good throwing
arm can with it slant them over like a
Mathewson or an Ames.
BAUMGARDNER LOOKS GOOD.
St Louis Pitcher May Prove to Be An
other Walter Johnson.
The St. Louis Browns appear to have
discovered something that may be to
them what Walter Johnson is to
Washington. He is a young pitcher
named George Baumgardner. He first
attracted attention in the spring series
between the Browns and Cardinals,
but bis real fame came on his first time
out in an American league game, when
he was pitted against Kd Walsh of the
White Sox and outpointed him. Then
Photo by American Press Association.
PITCHER OEOBOR BAUMGARDNER.
when he went out bis second time and
held the same White Sox for fifteen in
nings without a ruD his name was on
the lips of every fan.
Baumgardner is good, and, tike so
many good men who have come Into
the majors, he Is as "green" as they
make them. A story is told concerning
his first game that in which he beat
Ed Walsh. An admirer remarked that
It was a noteworthy feat Baumgard
ner wasn't impressed that way. "Who
is this fellow Walsh?" he asked. He
was told that "Big Ed" Is considered by
many the greatest pitcher in tbe game.
"If he's so good why don't some of the
National league clubs draft him?" in
quired Baumgardner innocently. He
has since been told that tbe American
league. In which be promises to win
fame, is a major organization just like
tbe National.
Weaver Looks Like a Find.
Buck Weaver, the Chicago Ameri
cans' short fielder, looks like a find for
Callahan. He is a stone wall on de
fense and has an arm that is the envy
of many a big league veteran.
LIFE'S PATTERN.
"Take your needle, my child, and
work at your pattern. It will come
out a rose by a;d by." Life is like
that one stitch at a time taken pa
tiently and the pattern will come out
all right, like the embroidery.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS. .
April 26 there died in the city of
Chicago one of the very few successful
lien who have ever lived.
Reference is here made to the late
Dr. D. K. Pearsons, the fine souled
philanthropist, who lived ninety-two
years. 1
Having accumulated a fortune of
$7,000,000 by real estate investments,
he started when eighty years of age
to give It away. He helped endow
more than fifty small, struggling col
leges, because be believed the small
college afforded poor young people the
best chance. He also gave largely to
charity and forfifty years aided young
men to get an education.
Dr. Pearsons gave away every dol
lar of his big fortune, reserving only
a small life annuity to keep his soul
and body together till death.
He was doubly successful.
Many men have known the satis
faction of making much money. Few
have known both the Joy and pride of
the victor In making a fortune and the
pride and Joy of the philanthropist in
giving every bit of it away. He was
twice successful.
He lived a completed life.
Which is a rare accomplishment
Death when it comes to most men
finds them with unfinished plans, or,
If their plans are successfully worked
out. there yet remains the problem of
the successful administration of their
affairs when they shall be dead. They
"heap Hp riches knowing not who will
gather it" They know the lawyers
will gather some. And they fear lest
the heirs may dissipate the remainder.
Dr. Pearsons vwis his own executor.
He successfully administered his es
tate while living. And he had the
pleasure in the disbursement of bis
wealth of seeing the good it would do.
His money went where he wanted It
to go and for the good -of mankind.
Successful old man!
He went to the limit of benevolence.
Other millionaries give away money,
but not all of it. Some of them can
not keep up with the natural Increase
and are in grave danger of "the dis
grace of dying rich." Giving all. Dr.
Pearsons, of all the rich men of his
day, was the one successful giver.
Success?
Success is like a pyramid. Broad at
the base, broad as the thronging mil
lions who live their little day and
win or fail. Towering upward, its
form narrows and scattered along its
sides are the few who have been fairly
successful. At its top their bright
figures lit up with the pure sunshine
of merited fame are the very few who
have lived a completed -and successful
life.
Of these the gentle hearted nona
genarian who died in Chicago was one.
Soap Made the Boat Go.
A writer In Science tells of an ingen
ious little skiff about two inches long
which he constructed and provided
with a piece of soap for the motor.
The boat was of wood, paraffined to
repel the water. The soap formed the
stern board of the skiff. The boat was
placed onstill water in a bathtub and
began to move as soon as the water
came in contact with the soap. After
gathering headway it reached a veloci
ty of two inches a sec ond. The power
was derived from the potential energy
of the surface water film set free by
the diminution of surface tension, this
reduction being due to solution of the
soap.
His Way of Helping.
When he examines in civics the pet
question of a certain teacher is:
"What would you do to cut down
the expenses of running the city?"
That question appeals to youthful
patriots and embryo financiers, and
civic reformers evolve brilliant schemes
for lopping several millions of dollars
off the annual budget.
But at the last examination the prob
lem was tackled by an unimaginative
youth, who seemed unable to save the
city by spectacular methods. Hard
facts had a grip on him, and he finally
wrote:
"Run errands for the mayor and not
charge anything for It" Washington
Star.
Tokyo.
Tokyo, In Japan, has a population of
nearly 2,000.000 and almost 500,000
houses. '"

BERNICE BARLOW IS

about fourteen of her young
friends the occasion being the cel
ebration of her sixth birthday.
The afternoon was devoted to out
of-door games and Miss Nieta
Harding and Miss Evelyn Harding
assisted in entertaining the
young people. One of the features
of the afternoon was the lunch
eon served in the prettily decor
ated dining room the color scheme
being of pink and white. The ta
ble was among the attractions
with its decorations of pink ram
blers, favors of the same color,
and the table centered with a large
birthday cake uponjyhich were six
pink candles. The little hostess
received many pretty gifts.
