DROPPED HIS CARTRIDGES.
Then He Was freed All Night by q
Wounded Moose.

From the New York World.
John Mar shall of Minneapolis, out hunting
in the wllds of Itasca county, left camp
the other dey for the railroad station sew
eral miles away. Suddenly there was
crash in the bushes near him and a two
thirds grown bull moose broke cover. Mar
shalrs rife went to his shoulder and three
big bullets were planted in the body of the
moose. whose black name bristled with
anger and whose bellowdngs resounded
through the forest.
Wounded as he was, the moose charged
and Marshall fled to a small tree As he
began to climb the moose was at his heels,
ard before the hunter was out of reach the
;naddcned animal was striking savagely at
him with its antlers. As Marshall climbed
higher and higher the animal began bat
tering at the trunk with a force that
threatened to soon bring il down. All Mar
shall could do was to cling on with both
hands and pray that the animal might
drop dead.
Finally the animal ceased mis- efforts, but
laid siege to the man in the tree Marshall
had his rifle. In his haste to get at his
cartridge pouch he broke the strap and
the pouch fell to the ground. There was
nothing to be done except wait The day
waaed and night fell, but the siege was
not raised.
During the long hours of the night Mar
shall almost froze, and several times was
on the point Of sliding out of the tree and
mixing with the moose, but at every move
he made the animal would assume such a
threatening attitude that the hunter de-
cided he had better freeze than be cut to
pieces.
Early in the morning the moose walked
away from the tree short distance, and
Marshall. dropping to the ground secured
half dozen cartridges, which he slipped
into his rifle.
The moose now made charge, but fell
dead with bullet in his heart. Finding
his way back to camp, Mr.. Marshall told
his story to his companions. They at once
set out for the moose, but on reaching the
carcass found that the wolves had so torn
and mang1ed the body that ii was worth
less, and Marshall had to content himself
with bringing away the head, bearing
splendid pair of antlers

BASE BALL
A Deal Said to he Matching in PhiIa-
dolphin.

1t is rumored that a base ball deal is on
between Boston and Philadelphia, and be-
fore it is contaminated Chicago and even
Louisville may get finger in the pie, says
the Philadelphia Press.
Manager Frank Selee of the Boston club
arrived in Philadelphia Wednesday night
going there it is said on the invitation of
President Reach of the Philadelphia Ball
Club.
The Boston magnate is stopping at the
Hotel Hanover and gave orders last night
that he was to be disturbed by no one. A
Press representative called upon Mr.. Selee
at his hotel but the base ball man abso-
lutely refused to talk
Before retiring Mr.. Selee sent a telegram
to James Hart, president of the Chicago
Ball Club. A base ball crank who haunts
the corridors of the hotel saw the message
and says it was as follows:
Tell DR.. Stuckey all will be well and not
to worry
Whether this refers to a four-cornered
deal in which the Phillies, Boston, Louis
Vile and Chicago will figure or whether
1t has reference to Brushs reported ac-
QUESTION of the ST. Louis club is not known
At any rate, it is a certainty that a base
ball hen is on and just what she will hatch
can only be conjectured.

P. 10, W., Work says:

The trouble with the system of calling
through an honor is that few players seem
able to restrain themselves from using it.

the case IN question, it is apt to be tried
when it's is unwarranted, and the re-
suit of such a trial is only too frequently

BOWLING ON C. A. C. ALLEYS
A Base Ball Deal Matching in PhiIa-
deIphia.
NJ A II r AND KSON

The Washington Club met at the Cairo
Tuesday night. Seven teams of four par
ticipated. The contest was played on the
Howell system for teams of four. The
game was the best exhibition of team play
that the club has had, and not only was
there a mutual understanding of partners,
but the play was marked throughout the
evening as of a very high order. If the
first and second teams keep up the play of
Tuesday night in their practice matches
preparatory to their match with Balti-
more, McCay's team will find the hardest
game they have encountered this season.
Monday night was ladies' night at the
Baltimore Whist Club, and fifty-two play
ers were present, and the play was very
fine at most of the tables. The ladies have
shown marked improvement and there were
many surprises in the final score.
The game between the BoStOnS and the
Baltimores for the A. W. L. trophy will
take place next Saturday, and although
by ten tricks, it is hard to find out upon
what he bases his conclusions. He ought
to be as familiar with the play of each
player as any man in the country, but

in which McCay, by an atrocious play,

is probable that the athletic council will
decide definitely upon the Cornell rowing
policy at meeting to be held within the

fact that Cornell has been obliged to ar
range, if possible, for races with two diff
ferent groups, namely, Pennsylvania and

and Yale on the other"
