"Gentlemen: --In these days! when it is so easy and human to find fault if things one buys are .not_just right, it gives. me great pleasure to tell you that my family is delighted with the beech hard- wood flooring secured from you a few weeks ago. It cost us $23 to cover a room about 15' x 9° 9", and had some to spare, It would be very hard to get any other covering of near the valuc for the same money. You may give my name to any enquirers, to whom we will be pleased to show the floor, which we laid' ourselves." ALLAN LUMBER CO. Phone 1042 . . . . Victoria Street gL | George Gibson, manager of tle Pittsburg Pirates, has made a d:s- covery. He has found the reason why his athletes do not sport as large batting averages as some of the other teams in John Heydler's circuit: The reason assigned by Gibson is that Forbes Field, the Pirates' park, is too large. Gibson says the averages of other National - league players proves the contention becausa none of them hit the ball for as many. 'Isafeties when in Pitsburg. "The small park is a great, en- couragement to the batters," said Gibson, in discussing the discovery. - "When a player stands at the plate i IVING ROOM and realizes that he has to hit one : : a mile in order to get a safety, it * FUR : : is not likely that that deduction will be any encotrragement to him.

Rube Marquard, at Pittsburg with the Cincinnati Reds, for a series with the Pirates, is about to unddrtake another marriage jassignment, it is reported at Pittsburg. Rube, accord- ing to the rumor was delayed in pro- curing a marriage license because ha did not have his divorce papers with him. The name of the prospective bride could not be learnad. ible list by Judge Landis, has just been released by the semi-pro. team with which he signed, the result of protests from other semi-pro. organ- izations against harboring anyone outlawed by organized baseball, Pun- ishment for the baseball offender is going to be harder than seemed lika- ly at the beginning and the action of semi-pros. shows how highly Judge i Landis' actions for the good of base- | ball are regarded, even outside the ranks of the big leagues.

"'Bat' Masterson writes in the New York Telegraph: "Sending a fan to the hospital for | an operation because he had been | struck several foul blows while in | action in the ring, as was the case | with Mike O'Dowd, is no part of the | Queensbury game. and it is to be | sincerely hoped that nothing of the | kind will happen in the Dempsey- | Carpentier fight. At any rate, if one | or the other resor's to foul means to help him win, it is to be hoped that the referee will have the courage to promptly disqualily the offender, which the rules provide he shall do. "Pempsey might not have hit Wil- lard with a loaded fist at Toledo, but there are a great many in this coun- try at the present time who believe he did, and those who entertain such an opinion are not of the sucker class by. a long shot. The fact is those who think Dempsey used the mailed fist on Willard are men who have had years of experience in the fight- ing game and know all the foul tricks fighters often employ to win a battle. 'Carpentier, however, is not a Jess Willard, neither is Demschamps a Walter Menahan, Cerpentier and his manager are wise guys. Both know all there is to be known about the fighting game and both wifl without doubt be wide awake when the band- ages and gloves are being adjusted. "In this respect tkey'll be different from Willard and kis coterie of hand- lers at Toledo. Willard was so cock sure of winning that he didn't even seem to care what means Dempsey resorted to, Mailed fist or no mailed fist was all the same to big Jess. With him Dempsey was just a common mug whom he could bowl over when- ever he got ready. "And it's more than probable big Jess never changed his mind until after he got that first knockdown, and then he didn't have much mind to change. But it isn't likely to be that way with Carpentier and Des- champs, They'll gec that Dempsey's hands are properly bandaged and that the electric tape and other unfair accessories fighters have been. known to use to flatten an opponent will be conspicious by their absence. "Dempsey, of course, might not at- tempt to employ any such means. He might be too good a sport for that. But just the same it will do no harm to k P a sharp lookout and see that evebiing is run on the up and up. Carpentier and Deschamps are too wise to try any unsportmanlike tac- tics in this country. The fact that they'll at least suspect that every- body will be watching them and every move they make carefully scrutinized and promptly reported to the enemy camp will be enough to keep them in line from the day they pitch their training camp until.the finish." eett---------- 4 President. McCaffery, of the To- ronto Club, was notified from Bos- ton that Pitcher Talcott had been re- leased to the Leafs.' The twirler will report to Manager Doyle in a day or two, either here or at Reading, whero the Toronto team opens a series on Sunday. \ that the Pirate yards is one of the very biggest, if not the biggest in the league. Gibson declares the Pirates show much better hitting ability in some of the smaller parks. For instance, season .invariably hit better than .300 as a machine. The Philadei- phia park is one of the smallest in the majors, having * an especially short right 'field fence.
