The base ball teams of the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Young
Mems Hebrew Association will cell
citrate the glorious Fourth on the day aft
er by a game of ball at C. L. A. park.
These associations have been making up
teams for some time, and both comprise
good material.
Jack Hall has gotten together strong
team for the Y. NJ. G. A, and has secured
Powell and McAvoy as the battery. Pow
ell played with Wakeforest College for
several years, and made quite a reputa-
ton as pitcher. He pitched in a game
last season for the Bay Streets against
the c. L. A. team, and, though poorly sup
ported, pitched good game. McAvoy has
caught for various teams in former years
and is a good backstop
Smith and Kayton will do the points for
the Hebrew Association. This battery
was one of the best in the indoor base ball
league last winter. and with practice there
is no reason why II should not do good
work in the outdoor game.
A series of games between the Catholic
Library Association and the Young Mems
Christian Association will be arranged to
begin in a couple of weeks
Manager Selee of the Boston base ball
team must be just brimming over with Joy
al the wonderful showing which his team
has made. OF the last twenty-three games
played, the Beaneaters have won twenty
one They won eighteen straight victories,
a record that has not been equalled by a
league team in a long time. Savannah is
particularly interested la the playing of
Boston this season, because the club put
in its preliminary practice in this city
Selees men started off poorly and for
the first two weeks played miserable ball,
but they started on a winning gait and
have since kept IL up. Visions of a "run-a-
way" with Baltimore doing the running,
are now out of order, and It is plain to see
that the Birds will have to do desperate
battle for all they get in the way Of first
honors.
Boston is now leading with a percentage
of .735. There is gap of Is points between
that city and Baltimore, which Is second
Cincinnati is third, with a percentage OF
go, and the Giants are closing up on
the Reds" All of the clubs now have
their hands full to maintain their positions
and the race is hot.

Rev Mr.. Moylan, unobserved. joined the
crowd. He reached the ring side, and,
before any one could stop him, was through
the ropes.
Recognizing one of the principals he
used his cane Oh him with such vigor
as TO cause him to howl and beg for
quarter. The spectators dispersed, ana
the fight was postponed indefinitely.

Many anecdotes have been told of

his acts showed his real kindness Of
heart more fully than the deed he did
on behalf of n little girl. The must.
clan was wandering In New Orleans
one evening. when he Glanced to turn
into Il music hall.
Hearing the manager announce that
a little girl who was to have played the
piano was too III to appear. the kindly
GOttscllalk went behind the scenes and
offered to take her place. The child
was delighted. and SO must the must.
clan have been by her simple remark.
She looked at him dOubtfully and said:
"YOu had better look at the score.
The piece Is rather difficult"
Gottschalk gravely remarked that he
thought he could manage It, and was
allowed to go on the stage. Then the
audience went wild with delight. for
the musician was instantly recognized.
Before he left the stage the artist emp
tied his small change into his hat. and
his listeners also contributed generous.

little girl that her kind substitute was
