Mangiis, of the firm of Mahgu Bros., who pruned the stalk from his red raspberry bushes In his back yard at his home' east of this city on the asylum rond. In pito of the cold went It er the ripe berries have an excellent flavor and even the blossoms have an odor of June while the tree are being decorated with holly for tomorrow night 'a Christmas festivities, The reason that the blossoms are still coming at this time of the year is because no frost has yet arrived to stop the growth of the buds and no cold weather has checked the ripening of the green berries, TWINS EVEN RACE. BakersKeld, Oil., Dee. 23. Mrs. I.. 11, Cook and Mrs, Jules Bergen, Jr., twins, each 19, married at a double wedding, each one's boy being bom on the same duy. each Wednesday night. The games will be played in two 12 1-2 minute halves with a five minute rest period, allowing 'M minutes for each game. The first game will be called at 7:30, the next at H o'clock, the third at 8:30 and the final game at 9 o'clock allowing each ten:n to play once each week. The shorter periods of play will al low a faster game and as the season1 progresses and the players develop mure "wind" it is expected the final windup will be of the nature of four cyclonic clashes each Wednesday night. The first line ups have already been chosen but a number of players are being held in reserve in order that their services might be given to the teams whose.need is the greatest. Last year the Capital Business college team suffered the loss of two of the best players before the season was fairly under way and the team was handicapped throughout the schedule. It is to provide for such con tingencies that some players nro being held back to be added to the teams I later. All will be given a chance to play, however, and if the teams show about equal strength the players will be apportioned out among all of the! teams.

A wild scramble began today everywhere ia organized baseball for the cream of the Federal league players. With the signing of the pence protocol between the Federals and organized baseball, magnates throughout the country are on the quie vive, expecting to obtain back the stars who jumped to the out laws. Most of the high class players of major league calibre will go to Ameri can or .National clubs. But minor leagues will profit greatly by getting the smaller fry. The Federals will as sume all contracts of their players who will oe reinstated. One rumor is that Benny Kauff, of the Brooklyn Federals will go to tho New York Giants. The New York Am ericans also will receive strength, it is semi-otticialiv known, Irom several Federal stars. Although a report from Texas stated that Charles P. Taft, owner of the Chi cago Cubs will not sell his club, irt is regarded as certain that Chas. Weegh man will get it. Sale of the Cubs to Weechninn and the St. Louis Ameri cans to Phil Ball, were agreed on In the peace pact. As previously reported, both major leagues will assume the responsibility of remunerating the Wards of Brook lyn for their outlay. The only remaining friction is over the disposition of the Balttimore fran chise. It has been generally conceded that Jack Dunn, of Richmond, Virginia would have the major right to the Bal timore franchise when peace was estab lished. A committee will be appoint ed soon with full powers to settle this matter. Phil Ball stated today that Fielder Jones, manager of the St. Louis Fed erals, will pilot the St. Louis Ameri cans; It is reported that Branch Rick ey, whose contract expired last fall, will rtire from the game. Effect on Coast League. San Francisco, Dec. 23. How will the Coast league benefit from the base ball peace pact! That was the question uppermost in the minds of baseball fans here today. It was generally conceded that while the coast league may not derive an actual cash benefit, elimination of some of the spirit of commercialism and feeling of unrest will react for the good of the game. One fan declared today the value of the San Francisco club will bo in creased $50,000 ultimately. It would seem the other clubs will prosper ac cordingly. There Is much speculation as to the status of Jimmy Johnston of Oakland and Joe Gedeon, of Salt Lake, both of whom signed Federal contracts for next yenr. Some fans expressed the fear that players who jumped from the Coast league will not revert to it, bocanse of the provision in the peace pact by which the Federals retain control of their players. It was thought the de funct independents will be ablo to dis pose of them, Grabbing For Players. Cincinnati, Ohio, 1ec. 23.
