Jimmy Collins, the premier third-cor-
ner man of the Bostons. But in the

but Hanlon trusted Roaring Bill"
Kennedy. That confidence was repaid,
for Kennedy has won 10 games and
lost but nine at the time of this writ
ing. Twirler Hughes, one Of Hanlon's
finds, who had made a good record for
the orioles--it remained for the or
phans last season TO give the southern
pitcher his first real taste of a bonn
bardment--was taken for one of the
chief men of the Brooklyn staff How
well Hughes has done his work is shown
by his record-the best of any league
pitcher in games won. He twirled his
team to victory % times, and is credited
with but four defeats. Pitcher Jack
Dunn, who is one Of the all-around sort
of players that manager likes TO have

And then Hanlon set aside Capt.

premier in getting base hits, was an
chored in right field. Jones and Ander-
son, of the trolley-dodgers, were re-
served for the outfield, but after Nc
Gam was shown up as a first baseman
a little too slow for pennant winners,
Anderson, the stall sycamore OF the
Passaic," was assigned to first base.
All this time Hanlon had ideas of using
Hughey Jennings, his hustling, bat

at shortstop. But Jennings than had

his first base work Is very satisfactory.
To gold-brick some league manager or

when he saw that "Bilr Dahlen, one OF

RAMS TRAINED TO FIGHT.
Their First Horns Are Torn Ont In
order tn Develop Stronger
Ones.

The natives OF India are keen sports
men, in that they enjoy wagering on
the element of chance, and in Bengal
favorite sport is ram-hghting. A like
ly male lamb is chosen, when quite
young, and his training often extends
over rs months TO two years. The first
operation is 10 make him grow suitable
horns. TO attain this end, when his
first horns appear the owner grasps
them in his teeth and tears them out
of their sockets. This operation has
to be repeated upon subsequent
growths two or three times. Then
the young champion develops really
massive pair. very broad at the base.
He is always chained, presumably TO
make him pugnacious. When his horns
are sufficiently tough he is taught but
ting. His trainer dons a wooden shield
and the ram is taught TO butt IL, at
first with only short run. But as he
takes TO his training he backs further
and further from the object, until the
legitimate distance is arrived at. BY
this time he has begun TO put such
force into his butts that il takes two
men TO hold the shield, and good ram
will upset them at every charge. When
he Is fit he Is taken to a match.
The trainers then straddle their ami
mails. grasping them by the horns, and
bring them into the arena facing each
other abour 40 feet apart. The word is
given, the trainers slip the animals,
and the rams precipitate themselves
forward at lightning speed, heads
down. quarters up. They meet with
laundering crash. the horns and
skulls changing as il they were metal.
The animals then back of their own
accord. and close again, with the same
awful impetuosity. Again and again
they close, until one OF the two refuses
20 face the music. Then the victor
chases him from the arena.-Golden
Penny.

Gen. Lew Wallace has often been be-
sieged 10 give permission for the dra-
matization of Ben Hur. but he has re-
fused on the ground that poor repre-
sentation of the chariot race would spoil
everything, and Ben Hur with the chari-

Hamlet left out. Klaw a. Erlanger. a
New York firm that works with stage
appliances, have convinced Gen. Wal
lace Of their ability TO give a lifelike
representation of the chariot race, and
the play is to be produced this fall at
Mr.. Lifts theater-the Broadway.
Each horse runs on n separate tread
mill and, although not moving forward,
can exert great force. The forward eff
feet is given by panoramic back-drop;
an electric motor will turn rollers which
will 'reyolve the wheels; cam wheels on
the cars will throw the chariots up aud
down as they revolve. Electric fans
will throw clouds of real dust under the
wheels through holes in the stage floor,
and n semblance of wind will be given
by electric fans attached inside the
chariots.
People who like that sort OF thing,
will no doubt thrill when they see upon
the stage the chariot race in ben Hur;"
unless there be hitch in mechanical
details and the audience feel moved
rather to ridicule than TO applaud. But
we are assured there is no need 10 fear
any failure on the part of stage me-
