THE INTRODUCTION OF SHIN GUARDS AND HEAD GEAR BY ROGER BRESNAHAN, GIANTBACKSTOP, MARKS AN ERA OF INVENTION IN BASEBALL. ?NEWS ITEM.

SHE HANDS HUBBARD SOMETHING HOTBY JESSIE M. PARLTON.

"East Aurora, N. V.," as ElbertHubbard mystically remarked,Some time ago, "is not a place; It'sv condition of mind!" That beingtiie case, will some expe.it alienist\u25a0kindly swoop down on East Auroraend squelch the brainstorm ragingthero? He would do humanity alasting good nnd lie eligible to re-ceive a Carnegie hero medal.

The other day we were compelledto hark to a new and decidedlyunique ful mi nation from the Roy-qulvering, wondering nation thiscroft shop. liuooard sent out. to themessage:

"My wife. Alice Hubbard, is men-tally, morally and spiritually thesuperior of any woman in history,ancient or modern."

This, from rra Elherta of the

MISS JESSIE M. PARLTON.

flowing locks In praise of the wom-an who destroyed his first wife'shappiness and bore him children Indefiance of all social and morallaw, is a little more than the womenof America can swallow.

Elbert Hubbard follows up thisfervid statement by poetically com-paring his wife to a certain brandof soap warranted !)'J.44 per centDure.

Comparisons, as tho copy booksteach us, are odious; in this in-stance they are odorous.

Attached to the panegyric on thiswoman who was named by Mrs.Hubbard No. 1 as co-respondent inher divorce suit I* this bill of par-ticulars, quite In the manner of athoroughbred put up for sale:

"Alice Hubbard excels as moth-er, housekeeper, economist, meth-odlser, diplomat, financier, orator,writer, reformer, inventor, humani-tarian, teacher and philosopher."

Shades of Aunt Sanianthy andthe family cat! What woman doesnot excel in all Ihese lines, withthe added virtue of a clean do-mestic record?

The wife of any tendollar-a-weekclerk can give Mrs. Hubbard No. 2

points on economy; as a flnanejershe can knock the spots off anyRoyerofter ever turned out.

I know a frail little widow whobends over the washtnb daily tosupport :'> children. She could tellAlice Hubbard a thing or two aboutphilosophy.

Mrs. Suburban is a star diplomatwhen she entertains the uninvitedfriend hubby brings home with apleasant smile and a can of corn.

Every mother Is a reformer whenshe wields the slipper; exery house-wife an inventor.

The woman who rescues the fam-ily cat from the baby's moist em-brace and hides Rover where theboys can't tie cans to his tail is ahumanitarian.

Every wife must perforce be anorator when her husband conieshome at 2 a. m. speechless.

There is not a married womanliving who does not exercise liter-ary talent of the first order whenshe writes to her husband's rela-tives and manages to keep them allin a good humor.

"Many women have done well,"as can be verified by a reference toproverbs, but Alice Hubbard hasoverlooked a bet. Logic loses its'power and intellect its brilliancywhen pure, child eyes gaze ques-lioningly at the mother who hasstained them in the world's sightby her own sinful weakness.

THE CITY LEAGUEPowell-Sanders met defeat once

more at Natatorium park last even-ing. The Varney Mfg. Co. winning7 to 4. Tracey, the good lookingtwirler for the grocers, couldn'tcontrol the mysterious things hetossed, and when he did control one

the manufacturers straightened itout.

PLOWS STREET BY STEAM

Plowing with tho aid of a hugetraction engine was inauguartedIhis morning by Contractor H. L.Lilllenlbal on his grade job onMadison si. between Shannon andMontgomery ays. The ground isso stony that it is almost impos-sible to plow with horses, or pickit. About half a block was plowedsuccessfully this morning, whenthe plow, being too weak to with-stand tbe strain, broke, Lillien-thai then purchased a heavier andstronger one and resumed thework.

FLICK QUITS AND SHOCKS FANSSpecial Correspondence to The Frew

CLEVELAND, 0., July 25.?1t\u25a0one rude person had hurled abomb Into the camp of the Naps itcould not have caused more con-sternation than the announcementof Elmer KHck that he intended toretire at tho close of the seriesWith Washington.

STRIKING POSE OF ELMER FLICK, STAR OUTFIELDER OFCLEVELAND AMERICANS, WHO RETIRES IN HEAT OF FRAY

True, Flick has threatened to de-sert the diamond for the past 2years, hut who In tho world everdreamed that he would quit iv thethick of battle?

He has been playing the greatestgame of his life this season. Hewas the second Americau leaguehitter to reach the century markin iho output of swats, and led Lheleague as a run-getter. In base-run-ning aud in extra base hits.

As an outfielder Flick has no su-

perior, and his retirement at thiscritical stage of the race will sorelycripple the Naps, especially duringthe absence of Manager Lajoie,who is suffering with a lame foot.

"I am tired of the game," saidFlick. "Moreover, I am not in goodhealth. After playing ball forabout 12 years, I feel that I have aright to retire."

Flick Is wed fixed in a worldlyway. He owns a farm, among oU*rthingi*

TAKES NO MORE CHANCES.

Bresnahan Weahs a Head GuardSince He Got Knocked Out.

NEW YORK, July 25.?N0, theabove is not 1 of the ancient guyswho went gunning for the HolyGrail.

It is merely a picture of RogerBrosuahan, catcher of the New

York Giants, as ho appears in com-pany with his new ear mutt andheadgear.

The contraption was invented byRoger to prevent a recurrence ofthe accident In Cincinnati that sonearly cost him his life.

SPORTING SNAP SHOTSTommy Burns will show at the

Spokane theater August 27. He hasthe "picture" of his knockout ofBill Squires. The picture is a mov-ing one and short. Tommy will boxa few short rounds with a partner.

The Infers Ml team won a purseof $10 and the gate recetipts bybeating the Blacks at the park bya score of M to 5. A big crowdsaw the game.

Chick Roadnlght has resigned ashead of the athletic committee ofthe Spokane Amateur Athleticclub. It is understood that hiswork has not been altogether sat-isfactory.

Tommy Burns announces that hiswife is opposed to h.'s fighting ablack. So it appears there is lit-tle chance for a match with JackJohnson.

The Pirates were the first to shutottt Christy Mathewsou this season.

Looks as though every fight pull-ed off nowadays has the fake fringeattached. Johnson says he was of-fered biy money to let Kit/, stay 6rounds.

The most successful pitchers inthe National league are Brown.Overall, Lundgren, Corridon andMathewsou.

Judging by the list of wounded,some exhibition games in baseballare In the same class as sham bat-tles with real bullets.

Walter Christie has returnedfrom Europe and is ready for thonext Vanderbht cup race in the fall.

Swlfe, the Wilkes-Barre twirler,has Invented a prohibition ballcalled the 'dry spitter."

Joss, Hughes and Dygert are theonly American league pitchers with

1 -Hit games to their credit thisseason.

A silly season savant comes for-ward with lhe theory that the hu-man soul looks like an oyster.

That ought to show why so manypeople get stewed.

The latest and most appropriateway of showing ones appreciationof the rottenness of an umpire'swork is to get an armload of lemonsand hurl them at him. at the sametime emiting Infective and froth.That's the way they did at Seattleyesterday, anyway.

Umpire Ralph Frary got a piece,of dirt in his eye (the sort thatfeels like a brick building) and'couldn't do a good Job on ballsand strikes or anything. If hedidn't get the aforementioned brickstructure in his eye, somethingwa3 wrong with It, or else he hadbeen loaded the night before.

So the gang gave him a lemonshower. But the lemons didn'tbother Frary In the least. Hewould quietly kick them away andgo on until he stood in lemons asthick as snowdrifts. If theyweren't they should have been. Spo-kane lost 0 to s?ignominy,s?ignominy, defeat,chagrin, all rolled in 1 pill.

Pitcher Coy gave but 2 hits, lit-tle dinkey singles at that. He alsostruck out 6 and didn't pass a one.Killilay pitched for the Indians, al-lowed 8 hits, passed 5 and pounded2 in the slats. One of them was"Nosey" Schafer. How Killilaycould have missed his nose and hithim in the ribs is a wonder. Car-ney was back in right field anddidn't make his customary fightnoise. Bender, who had been hold-ing down the position, went behindthe bat and did pretty good work,considering.

At Vancouver Butte won 6 to 5in the 11th inning. The Canadiansgot rattled in the ninth and allow-ed the Miners to tie them. Buttescored in the eleventh.

At Tacoma yesterday Aberdeenwon 1 tto 0. Brinker allowed Ta-coma only 3 safe hits.
