When he was drawing a salary of $8,000 a season he had been ordered to pay his wife $250 a month alimony. Caldwell went into court, showed where his salary had been cut to $4,000 a season and asked relief. The court ordered {that hereafter he should pay his wife but $150 a month during the playing season and $60 a month during the off season. Manager McGraw, of _ the New York Giants, made a big offer fo the Indianapolis club of the Ameri- can Association, which latter closed its gates a few dayg ,a20, for the services of Napoleon Jajoie, man- ager of the Indians. The . Indian- apolis club, like others in the asso- ciation, had a disastrous season fin- ancially, and MeGraw expects that the very liberal offer from the New York club will be accepted. Lajoie hammered the ball in his accustom- ed style this season and would be a very valuable man for the Giants, especially as he Is far above the draft age, and because he local club is threatened with the loss of seve- ral of its stars, who are expected to desert to the shipbuilding teams within a few days. ---------------- Horses Well Named. gives rise to good stories. It was said that "one bright spring morn- Lthg two colts were born at Elmen- dorf, in Kentucky, the home of Col. D. D. Swigert. Mrs. Swigert hap- pened to visit the city on that day and made several purchases, which she displayed to her lord and mas- ter 'on her return home. Colonel Swigert never had a re: iputation for excessive generosity, and when he viewed the result of his wife's shopping expedition, he wax- ed 'somewhat wrathy.

"A thousand thanks, Colonel, re- torted the sprightly gentlewoman. "A thousand thanks, and I presume you will be gallant enough to per- mit me to name the other one?" "Certainly, madam," returned the owner of Elmendorf, tartly. "Well, that being the case, Col- onel," resumed the lady, I shall 5c Poet Cigar Sc wl Look for Silk Thread on Tip of Each Cigar. 8S.

Chase Astounds New Yorkers by His Great Work. Hal Chase has seen a lot of first basemen come and go since he cane out of California years ago and startled major league sack, but he is still supreme among the "door tenders" of the National League. He is a kid no longer, yet he moves about with the same grace and agil- ity that always stamped his play, and he still ranks among the 897 Princess Street. NUMENTS !

Still Hopeful of Racing: In the midst of his war work Sir Thomas Lipton is preparing for the battle of peace. He has Shamrock IV. in New York and the ship will be ready for the America's Cup races as soon as the war ends. Sir Thomas is eager that Chicage sailors be represented on his boat in the effort to' lift. the cup from New York. So he has chosen Shel- don Clark, oné of the best known yachtssmen and a particular friend, to sail on the Shamrock in lhe big contests. England wants to buy baseball uni- forms and equipment for 2,000 aspir- ing ball players. From time to time it was understood that the baseball game was obtaining a foothold on the tizht little isle, Eut none of us 'were prepared for this overwhelming evi- dence of the same. The American Whea Doyle Met Cob. Soon after ithe Yankees secured a pitcher named "Slow Joe" Doyle a few years ago, the Tigers romped into New York headed by the ilius- trious Mr. Cobb. That same after- noonyDoyle w t to the mound The gead-off Tiger in the first inn- ing .arrived at first through an error. The next was safe on a fielder's choice. Two on, none out --and up struts, Tyrus Raymond. The catcher bustled to Doyle and said: 2 "Joe that's Cobb at the Let's pass him." "Say, 1 ain't passing anybody that I can strike out," . responded the confident Doyle. The catcher tried to argue Doyle into. passing Cobb. But Doyle was obstinate. i "I'm going to stic em right over and strike out that Cobb," in- sisted Doyle. | And Doyle, utterly ignoring the cateher's signals, grooved three for and Cobb struck out. "Didn't I tell you it could be done?" grinned the elated Doyle 5€ plate. , a8 the inning ended. The next time Cobb ambled the plate, Doyle grooved just one-- and Tyrus nearly knocked down the fence with a screeching - triple. Doyle still confident, grooved it for Ty pn his third trip--and Ty bunted /afely. When the *'South- ern Typhoon" stepped up for the fourth time, Doyle had come to the conclusion that perhaps it was a little safer to pass Cobb. So he threw a pitch-out--and Ty reached over and straightened it for a two- bagger. "Say," ruefully admitted Doyle after the game, "I guess this Cobb guy ain't such an awful dub after all."
