A small crowd witnessed what
proved to be all exciting game Sat
urday. The score is an Interesting
one:
Score by innings 4567S9
Alhinas--------O 0O0031 %- 4
Salems ---.------02 02010O0O0- 8
The pitching of Jacobs was aston
ishing in all its features. He struck
the enemy out repeatedly once on
six pitched balls, once oil seven and
several times on ten or twelve.
Booth at first and Cnllett at second
made great plays.
The game was tied mt the seventh
in ming, and lost to Salems in the
eighth 10y a misiudged decision of
Umpire Potter when he called
George out at home plate on close
slide, OH a ball which the catcher for
Albinas had not held, aud Mr..
Potter did not see for the cloud of
dust. He would have been perfectly
excusable for reversing his decision
as the fact became known to all and
was admitted even by the Albinas.
AS it was it gave them the game,
and established Umpire Potters
reputation for extreme fairness to
visitors.
SUNDAYS GAME,
By hard batting aud great run
ming the Salems gathered in trio
on the first round and George, the
new supply pitcher was received
with cheers, which he justified by
retiring the visitors, 3 too.
The second was slgnalized bv fine
playing, hard work aud no scores on
either side. Brown displayed his
art by covering the inside corner of
the plate in very precise manner.
In the third Salems got on Ander-
sons great sliding powers, and re-
tired. The goose eggs came in thick
and fast from this on until in the
fifth. when excellent playing got in
two for the Albinas. From this on
The game possessed intense interest.
Salems went into their famous
seventh and took out one. In the
eighth Albinas put their catcher into
the box to relieve the regular who
was badly famed. In the eighth
Salems took two more and Albinas
went down before the combine. In
the ninth each side scored two more.
The game closed with 10 to 4
score. The regular pitcher for the
Albinas, HIteshue, was disabled at
close Of third inning, and Abrams
was substituted. This split made
the visitors weak. They offered the
Salens two very good matches how
ever, and will always be welcomed
here as fine lot of players.

1t Could Swim,

At a seaside resort some boys caught a
ribbon snake about eighteen inches long.
and after playing with it for awhile took it
into their heads to see if it could swim.
They carried it to the pier and threw it into
the harbor. The snake set ont swimming
at once, but instead of coming toward the
land 1t made for small yacht lying at
anchor.
1t could not get up the sides of the boat,
but in swimming about it it came to the
cable, up which, to the amazement of the
boys, it was seen to make its way by twist
ing around it.
The shouts of the boys called the atten-
ton of the only man on the yacht to the
presence of the snake, and after chasing
the poor creature with broom about the
deck, he succeeded in throwing it into the
water again. The snake, still plucky,
swan TO another yacht near by, but was
driven away with an oar
It then started for the other side of the
harbor, nearly quarter of mile distant,
and the men in the second yacht had the
curiosity to get into small boat and fol-
low it to see if it reached the shore 1t
swan steadily, going somewhat more slow
ly as it went on, but still keeping up its
graceful, undulating motion until the
shore was gained.
By this time it was somewhat exhausted,
but it had strength enough to crawl away
among the rocks, and the men who were
watching it felt that it had earned the
right to live, even had there been any rea-
sop-which there wasn't-for killing it in
the first place.-Youth' Companion.

aedLTY, YET ACQUITTED.
now Lawyer Secured Verdict for q
Self Confessed Criminal


Self Confessed Criminal.
We'll, 1 will tell you of another case"
SAID John d. Townsend, the lawyer, one
night while chatting about strange scene
IN law courts with me at an up town club.
lou Will remember a few years ago that
man named Jeffords, while serving time
IN sing Sing, was murdered by a fellow
convict who was aggrieved at something
JeHords had said. Jeffords had been tried
and convicted of the murder of his stem
father, and under the conditions of the law
determining the manner of death at that
time the governor had refused to net a
tlme for his execution. Jeffords was
therefore virtually remanded for life.
ne father of the man who killed JEFF
lords lived IN the upper part of this state,
and he retained me for the defense went
TO sing Sing shortly after l was retained
10 take the testimony of witnesses in favor
OF my client. knew that most of them
would be convicts, and wanted to get
their testimony, etc, before they got away.
II took the testimony of eight men, all
OF whom swore positively that my client
was in different part of the ward from
Jefords at the time of the killing. OF
course l supposed that I had a very easy
case and paid little attention to it until
near the time of the trial, which was to
take place at White Plains court house
Westchester county.
Il thought it would be we'll to go to Sing
sing the night before the trial, to make
sure that my witnesses would be in at
tendance the next day. While sitting
with the warden in his office, word came
to me that my client would like to see me
at his cell door. / went down and he met
me with the remark:
suppose a lawyer ought to know
everything about the case he has in handy
Il replied that of course he should be
thoroughly posted, or he could not compe-
tently defend his client.
We'll, them he replied Immediately.
i did kill Jeffordsr
Just please to imagine the condition of
my Ieellngs! However, l had but one
Course to take. | remembered a somewhat
similar case occurring a short time before
in England. Counsel defending a muir
derer was just about to sum up with a
certainty of a verdict when he was handed
a note from the prisoner confessing his
guilt!
I'm that case counsel asked an adjourn
ment in order that he might have an op-
portunity of presenting to the court cir
cumstances which had at that moment
come to his knowledge, and which was of
the utmost Importance to consider. A re-
cess was taken and the matter submitted
to the court by counsel
1T was unanimously determined that
counsel must proceed to sum up on the evil
dence just as though his client had never
spoken to him. On the Resembling of
court he did so, and his client was ac-
quilted,
Acting upon this precedent, submitted
the evidence l had gathered, summed up
without expressing any opinion of my own,
and my man was also acquitted Mrs
Jeffords, the mother of the murdered man,
