BASE BALL IN CUBA.
How a Cuban Youth Was Taught to
Play the Game.

From the Cincinnati Comnercial-Trihune.
An amusing story is told in Santiago of
the efforts of an Irish sergeant of the
9TH Regulars to incuIcate In Cuban youth
the principles OF base ball. one afternoon
after dress parade the regulars interested
III base ball started to make up two scrub
teams for practice game on the spacious
parade in front of the barracks. A Cuban
youth named Lopez, the son of a promi-
Hent sugar planter. who had watched sew
eral games with evident curiosity, TOlun-
teered TO play.
Dye know anything about it, asked
the sergeant. who was CAPTAIN of one side,
and was known in the regiment as san
Juan Can yes knock a three-bagger with
one hand?"
The Cuban looked mystifed but he po-
ltely intimated that he would try to learn.
We'll. jump In and hustle" said the cap
tain, sending him out to right field.
During that inning the new player caught
an easy ball simply because 1t fell into his
hands. and he was too surprised to let it
go When the side went to the bat the
Eative Of Santiago was told how to hold it
and shown where 10 stand The first ball
was low one and the Cuban famed the
air so ZealOusly that he almost fell. Then
came ball that somehow managed to hit
the bat with force enough to return TO the
Outtield- The whole crowd yelled instruc-
ti0ns. but the Cuban stood open-mouthed
hi4tl4 san JudI! IlAUt reap LOT MN, anu,
catching him by the arm. fairly dragged
him IL the direction Of first base. There
was a panied expression upon the Cuban's
face, and he resisted feebly but the Irish
captain finally landed him in triumph. A
minute later the next at the bat sent the
ball into the field and tore for first base.
Rum rum yelled San Juan to the
Cuban. who was trying 10 adjust his col
lar. Run. Give him a chance at that bag
will yes,'
Lopez lodged from the base just in time
To escape being run down. His hat fell
of. and he was on the point of stopping
Tor II when the captain fell upon him. All
that the spectators could see was trailing
cloud Of dust, but when it cleared away
Lopez and San Juan" We're visible king
last time toward second. The ball was
still being fumbled in the field. and there
was good chance for a home run When
the cuban reached second base he had lost
a shoe and part Of his coat, and the man
following was at his heels He was not
allowed to halt although he was in sore
need Of rest.
Run shouted the captain, savagely.
Run or III"
He sHatched a stick and made for Lopez
with such menacing air that the poor
Cuban finally ran as hard as he could
Amid the hOwls of the spectators he shot
over the ground, but, instead of making
Tor the home base. he struck off across the
parade. and finally disappeared beyond the
adtacent mule corral An hour later a small
boy came for his clothes. Since then base
ball can hardly be called popular with the
youths Of Santiago.

GRIP EPIDEMIC IN LONDON.
Doctors Are Reticent, but AcknOwI-
edge Ita Fatal Character.

The London correspondent of the New
York Herald cables that there is practically
an epidemic of influenza grip in the En-
glish metropolis. He also says that the
physicians are very reticent about discuss
ing the matter
AT Guys Hospital the physician said:
There is no denying that influenza is
very severe just now. There are great
many fresh cases here daily. We do not
keep statistics of the cases until deaths are
recorded. The cases are generally of very
mild type
But you said the outbreak was very Sc
Vere?"
Severe as to the amount Of cases, but
mild in regard to the type. Look at the
Sst registrar nGn5 generals rstnrns He reports
rs that large percentage?''
"Certain!y.'
III Of so mild character. should not the
number of deaths be smaller
Influenza is very difficult to diagnose
The patient comes to the hospital with fe-
verish symptoms of character difficult to
diagnose. 1t is put down as influenza. The
malady develops the patient dies and IT is
signed Influenza. That is how reports have
swelled the influenza Deaths
Then doctors do not know what innu-
enZa is?"
II don't think we do
At Kings College Hospital the physician
admitted there was a good deal of influenza
about, and believed 1t had been rather heavy
IrtAtIN- Iit IouiI iol say whether II was
increasing or decreasing or if it was an epi-
demic. He said there was no phophesying
what it might come to.
At Charing Cross Hospital DR.. Richard
son, resident medical officer. said there had
been great many cases during the last
few weeks. In answer to my query whether
| 1t was of a mild type he said:
mo, l think it is a very bad kind in
decd. and, what Is worse, more fatal than
| it has been for years. That Is my expert
ence. l don't think the weather has much
| to do with It. An epidemic will come and go
| in the most unaccountable manner. l think
| the worst Is past. There has been an en-
couraging falling off in the number of fresh

JURY FINDS MRS. CODY GUILTY.
Result of Suit for Blackmail Brought
by Miss Gould.

Mrs. Margaret E. Cody has been convict
ed of attempting to blackmail George and
Helen Gould. The jury trying the case at
Albany n. Y, brought In verdict Of
guilty last night after being out eight
hours. A recommendation to mercy was
made. 1t is likely that Mrs. Cody will re-
ceive a light penalty on account OF her age.
The jury balloted seven times before
agreeing, the first ballot standing: Guilty,
S; not guilty, 3; blank, /.
Mrs. Cody. who had remained In her chair
in the court room most of the afternoon
after the court adjourned waiting to hear
her fate, gasped and all but tainted when
she heard the verdict Of guilty. It was a
quarter of an hour before she had recoy-
cred sufficiently to allow herself to be con-
Quoted back to Jail.
