Ly means OF which he made home run, followed
by three additional runs, making the score at the
end Of the inning 4.
The Hartiords retaliated by scoring 3; the game

A Juvenile Monster.

KENTUCKY is already famous for the
production of giants, fat boys and girls
Her latest production in this line is a
huge infant named Dero Edward Cham
bers, born two years and a half ago in
Barren County. A Kentucky paper says
"When about three months old he be-
gan to fleshen, and soon attracted the
serious attention of his parents and
Immediate friends. His accumulation of
fat has been uninterrupted, and now he
exhibits an obesity Of huge aldermanic
proportions We visited him and made
careful examination and measurement
which we give to the curious public
His parents are the reverse of their infan-
tile representative, so far as physical
proportion is concerned. The father,
Smith h. Chambers, is delicate, spare
made man of not vigorous look,
and weighs 1877 pounds; the mother is
small, delicately-built, and weighs IA
pounds. Dero, the young giant, stands
IN perpendicular measurement thirty
seven inches. The measurement around
the wrist is ten and half inches, and
above the elbow sixteen and half inches.
The leg around the calf gives a circum-
ference OF eighteen inches, and the thigh
the enormous length around of twenty
eight and three-quarters, while the hips
take full forty-eight inches of tape to
circuit their hugeness. Around the
waist he shows girth of forty-two
inches. His avoirdupois pulls down the
scale easily at 1181a pounds. The child
is quite intelligent, can walk with much
easier locomotion than his ponderous,
unshapely form would indicate, and en-
joys very good health"
