LOANED TO FALL RIVER.
BILLY LEYDON WILL PLAY WITH
CAPT. COTTER'S TEAM
For Renainder Of the Season, Unless His
Services Are Required by Mgr. Meikleiohn.

Billy Leydon, the popular substitute Of
the Pawtucket polo team, Is to go to Fall
River. We are not to lose Leydon as he
10 only loaned to Tom Cotter to help him
out Of his present difficulties.
When the Fall River team played here
last the "Big InJun" was so impressed
with the playing of the substitute that he
offered Manager Meiklejohn good round
sum for his release, but the management
would not hear OF II, and finally an ar
rangement was entered into between
Managers Cotter and Meiklejohn by which
Leydon will play with the Fall River team
until he Is wanted.
The advisability of this move may be
questioned, but In any event 1t would only
result In the loss of one game, az Capt.
Hobe or Manager Meiklejohn can by the
terms of the agreement on which Leydon
plays with the Fall River team he can be
recalled at moments notice.
The principal gamer by the transaction
will be Leydon, as Manager Meiklejohn
would not sell his release for any amount,
and Billy makes good thing of going to
Fall River, II it only be for short time.
1t will be interesting to see the game the
Pawtucket man will put up against his
old companions at Fall River.

ty Church on two or three occasions, and
the parishioners were well pleased with his
preaching.
Rev. Mr.. Appleton is rector of the lead

late yesterday afternoon to the effect that

ALMOST WAR.
The Jereed Play of the Wild Arabs Of
the Desert.

the Desert.
"In the Desert With the Bedouin" is q
paper written and illustrated by the Eng.
lish artist II. Talbot Kelly in The Cen.
tury Mr.. Kelly thus describes one of the
diversions of the desert: By far the most
exciting of their equestrian sports, how
ever, is their jerecd, or short javelin,
"play." 1 put play in quotation marks to
express the sarcasm of it, for J. never saw
anything moro nearly approaching war In
my life. Two friendly tribes meet in q
suitable bit of desert, several hundred
mounted men representing each tribe, and
are drawn up facing each other. Twirling
his jereed, the champion of one side rides
into the open, and in a loud voice and
with much eloqucncc recounts his deeds OF
valor, and with many sarcasms challenges
one of the other side to fight.
On the appearance of an opposing cham
pion in the arena the first turns to flee,
chased by the second and endeavors to
reach his own side before being caught by
his pursuer. Should he succeed in escap.
ing both turn again, and the positions OF
fugitive and pursuer are reversed, but II
always ends in fierce fight for suprema
cy in the middle, in which one or the 9th
er is generally .unseated, often with the
accompaniment of a few broken ribs or a
fractured arm or leg. Champions being
eventually placed hors de combat, the re.
naming bodies charge at each other and
engage, and in the excitement of the mo.
ment, when several hundred men and
their horses are involved in the scrim.
mage, the death of several men and horses
frequently results before the "sport" con.
cludes with light refreshments and pos
siblc funeral or two.
As remarked before, this is the nearest
approach to war possible and is almost az
exciting for the onlooker as for those EN-
gagged. No bad blood is engendered, how
eyer, whatever the casualties may be, this
being an honorable exhibition Of skill,
where no malice is borne, and any fatality
-'kismet!"
