sEATTLEs In GOOD SHAPE.
strengthened In the Box, They Are I'm
for the Lead.

The Seattle team, with its recent strengthen
ing In the box Is in position to make strong
DID Tor the pennant. In every other department
II has more than held its own, and it is demon
strated fact that, taking an average OF fielding,
batting and base-running. the team is the
strongest in the league. Hitherto kid" Camp
has been called upon to do the bulk of pitching,
and the work has been too much for one man.
The kid" has easily done the best work of
any pitcher in the league by winning
sixteen out of twenty -one games, but
has needed help badly He seems to have an
abundance of IL now. There promises to be
some excellent talent in the new pitching ma
terial. By his fine work in Saturdays game,
Willie LANCE showed that he has the making of
a great pitcher in him, and it will not take long
to develop ii. Mattimore seems to be in good
trim, and his past work stamps him as a first
class twi-'er. Notwithstanding his rough re-
cepts9a in the two games in which he has
pitched, Crowe.l may also be relied upon to rem
der valuable assistance in the box.
The team leaves tomorrow for Portland for q
series of four games with Glenalvin's men. In
their present form they should win at least two
and perhaps three of the four 1t is probable
that "Kid" Camp will pitch two of the games,
LANCE one and Mattimore one.
The club returns next week and will then
have twelve games at home With good luck
they should capture seven or eight of these, and
If Portland's percentage can be cut down some
what the opportunity to step into first place is
an excellent one.

TACOMA SPORTING NEWS.
Field-Day Sports at the Baseball Park
July A.

July 4.
TACOMA, June 21.-tSpeciaL THE Tacoma
Athletic Club will have charge of the ield-day
sports to be given July at the baseball park on
Eleventh street. Members of the club desiring
to participate must make application on or be-
fore next Saturday. With the exception of the
one-half mile RUM the events are all handicaps,
and are open to club members only. The half
mile run is open to all amateurs. The principal
events will consist of l00yard run, 220-yard
run, half-mile run, putting the shot, throwing
the hammer, running high jump three-legged
race and potato race.
The cricket players of this city are longing for
the weather to clear up, that they may continue
practice on their new grounds at Twenty first
and streets, opposite the gas-works. The club
has been reorganized and has forty members,
against sixteen members last season. Many
more have signified their intention to join the
club. There are now five cricket clubs on the
Sound-one at Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria,
Vancouver, B. c., and Tacoma-and judging
from the enthusiasm of the local admirers and
participants in the game there are to be several
sharply contested cricket matches during the
latter part of the season
The new quarters of the athletic club in the
Andrews Blackwell building will be ready for
occupancy before July 10. The rooms will con-
tain four tub and four shower baths, a bowling
alley, an eightfoot running track extending
around the entire upper floor, which is 5Ox100
feet in size. This running-track will be made
of leather. The ring for sparring contests will
also be located on the upper floor. The lower
floor, which is the same size as the upper one,
will contain the smaller gymnasium apparatus
To accommodate the rings and trapeze a space
sixty feet long has been cut through the floor of
the upper room

The Bear Would Not Fight Flannagan's
mil

The eight" between Jim Flannagan's bull
pup, Irish Jack, and some other fellows seventy
pound black bear, came off at Kingstone, seven
teen miles from Seattle, in Kitsap county, yes
terday evening, and was won by the bulldog
the bear backing out. From those who were
present it was learned that the fight was
great affair. The bear had long buckskin mits
on his paws to keep the savage beast from tear
ing the dogs "inards'' out, and in addition his
owner held him away from the dog at critical
points with a stout rope which was fastened
around bruins neck. On the other hand the
dog was free, and was allowed to do all the
clawing and chewing he desired After being
twenty-five minutes in the pit it is said that the
bear concluded that it was put-up job; that il
was agreed beforehand that he must be licked,
and so he just saved his skin by retiring to his
corner very sulky. Any amount of enticing
would not bring him to the CENTER and so the
$50 purse was given to the dog.
The steamer Otter brought about fifty lovers
of this peculiar kind of sport down to the fight
and returned with the same crowd at 10 O'Clock
last night.

THE AoUILA RACES THE POTTER
An Accident to Her Furnace Puts Her
Little Behind.

An Accident to Her Furnace Puts Her
Little Behind.
II was expected that the steamers T. J. Potter
and Bailey tiatzert would race from Tacoma
yesterday morning, and J. F. Mcknight took
out his steam yacht Aquila TO Three Tree point
with the intention OF starting even and racing
them home from there. The Gatzert did not
race, however, and the Potter made the run
alone.
The AouiIa waited for them, but the Gatzerf
didn't show up, and she met the Potter sooner
than she expected, just the other side of AK
point The Aquila slowed up, turned about,
and shutting off steam, waited until the Potter
was abreast; then turned on steam for the run
in. Something seemed to be the matter Win
the Aquila, for her steam kept getting lower,
and consequently her speed was not
what it should have been. Finally the
captain noticed that the weight on the drai'
valve had dropped of, the valve was closed, the
fire was banking and the steam running down.
When the captain pulled the valve open, the
flames from the furnace shot up from the smoke
stack fully forty feet, and the little boat, bound
ing forward at a terrific speed, took her place
again with the Potter.
But IL was too late. There was not enough
steam to last. The boilers had gotten cooler
than they should, and the speed was but ordi-
nary. However, she kept her place with the
Potter even after that, and Mr.. Mcknight thinks
that il he had not gone around the buoy, as ne
expected the Potter would do, the Aquila would
have come in first. Az IL was the difference
was but few seconds.
Engineer Smith OF the Aquila, who was for
merly on the Potter and whose uncle is chief en-
gineer on that boat still thinks, as does Mr. NC
Naught, that the Aquila can outrun her big rival.

A Reputation Gained.

Silverheels was known all through
the Land of Flowers as the greatest
coward in the Seminole tribe. He was
condemned by even the meanest squaw
in the Everglades. Osceola, being the
bravest warrior in the Indian nation,
was the only one that was thought OF,
and looked upon him with pity and
contempt In spite Of the youth and
great beauty in face and form of Silver
heels, there was no woman in the tribe
who cared to call him husband. He
was man apart. Now and then
Osceola would speak kindly to him,
and try to make redder his heart by
courageous words, for Osceola knew
that Silverheeels could no more, help
being the dauntless man he was. One
night the tropical sky split into frag-
ments, and through the rents in heaven
fell forks lances and sheets Of light
ming, cataracts Of rain, and all OF the
million thunderbolts from gigantic
Jove's armory The storm ragged all
night. In the morning the dilapidated
tribe looked upon dilapidated village
and forest and upon Silverheels lying
near two enormous mountain lions
bathed in blood, with a long blood
caked knife in his hand. The lions
were disemboweled. Ever after Silver
heels was known as the b-avest OF the
brave for he told no one that the
lions were dead Through fright
when he butchered them.

Carnivorou. Parrots.


The kea OR mountain-parrot OF
New Zealand. greenish- brown bird.
formerly as harmless as others of his
class. has developed carnivorous
habit as fastidious as that of epicures.
1t used to feed on the berries that
grew luxuriantly on the hills, but it
has changed that simple diet since
the multiplication OF sheep; perhaps
fires. too made that natural food
revenge on its unconscious enemy.
Fastening itself on the back Of poor
sheep. perhaps stuck in snow-drift
and savagely tearing away wool, skin.
and flesh, it plunges its powerful
beak into the kidney fat which it
devours and then. leaving one victim
to die in agony, goes off in search OF
another. Though it is as difficult to
feel individual affection for sheep
where they are slaughtered by millions
as it would be to care for hogs in Chi
cago, the most unsentimental shepherd
cannot refrain from plying one Of his
own flock that he finds in such con-
dition. and from invoking maledictions
on the whole race OF keas. How they
found out that kidney fat was such
delicacy can only be conjectured-per-
haps in the same indirect manner in
which Charles Lambs Chinnaman dis
covered that young roast pig was
good; a kea saw sheep devouring his
regular supply of food. and defending
his property with what beak and
claws he had, his tongue came in con-
tact accidently with kidney fat. From
that moment the satisfaction OF appe-
tite and the qualification Of vendetta
were united.

A Hear in the Cabin.

A Montana correspondent OF the
San Francisco Bulletin records an ad-
venture he had with a bear. He was
returning to his cabin after an ex-
cursion in the mountains and heard a
strange sort OF rumbling from the in
side as he approached. I'VE had left
the door open, but concluded to peer
in at the window and see what was
going on inside. In the dusk we dis
covered mass of blackness moving
around in the cabin. At once we
knew a monster bear was there. The
Winchester lay inside near the window.
BY breaking in the pane We could
reach II. For moment only we hest
tated and soon the gun was ready for
firing. The falling of the broken
glass attracted the attention Of his
bearship and he whirled about-face.
We fired again and again. The mon
ster beast rolled upon the floor, upset
the table, spilled the ink, scattered
papers, and created a general whirl
around. We lighted lamp and found
a basket of eggs and a side of bacon
had furnished bruin with an evening
meal"

Telegraplling Letters.

An inventor claims to have per-
fected a new system of synchronism,
by which it will be cheaper to tele-
graph letters than to post them. The
new system reduces the English al
phabet to ten elementary characters.
The messages are prepared by means
of machine resembling typewriter,
and manipulated in the same manner.
At a recent test message of seventy
six words was sent over the wires in
twenty-five seconds, and printed on a
tape in plain Roman characters. The
inventor says that he can by this sys-
tenn make one wire do the work that
ten do now.

Penetration or Light

Experiments lately made in Hart
ford, Conn, show that the light can
be seen through clean cut opening of
not more than one orty-thousandth of
an inch. This fact was determined by
taking two thoroughly clean straight
edges, placing piece of paper be-
tween the surfaces at one end, the OPP
posite end being allowed to come to-
gether. The straight edges being
placed between the eye and a strong
light in dark room, wedge of light
was preoeived from the ends between
which the paper was placed and the
opposite, which were brought together
The thickness of the paper being
known, the distance apart at the two
edges of the small end of the wedge Of
light vas easily calculated, and tho re-
suit was shown as above.

next out of the other side. He will
soon learn the effect these movements
have on the ball. Then he must prac-
tice faithfully to so control it as to
make the curves useful.
Strange as it may seem, it is much
moro difficult for the beginner to
throw or pitch straight ball than one
that describes an arc in its course.
This is so because of the natural ten
dency of the player to throw the ball
out of the side of his hand.
ITO pitch a straight ball it is neces-
sary that the two fingers which grasp
the ball should be straight up and
down, with their backs in front of the
player as he throws.
Beyond these few hints it is almost
impossible to give any ineligible in
structions. 1t will depend almost en-
tirely on the young players ability,
inclination and perseverance how
much of success he will make at
curve pitching. He cannot have too
much practice. But he should take
care not to overexert himself. 1t is
not necessary TO exert all his force.
He can practice curves without putting
his greatest speed into the ball"
