"MUGSEy" M'GRAW'S MASCOT

The Baltimore Baseball club Of the
American league has a mascot that is
not only ornamental but also extremely
useful. II takes the form Of Great
Dane dog, the property Of Captain VIII
bert Robinson. McGraw and the fat
catcher arranged Machiavelian
scheme for the discontinue OF the oppos
ing team. Securing long. stout rope,
they tied the dog 10 a stake near the
right field fence, where IL could stimuli
taneously eat grass and watch the
game BY giving the animal plenty Of
rope It was enabled to cover considera-
bic ground liz right garden, The right
fielder OF the other team, a person
named Thompson, was inclined to cayll
at the presence Of a huge beast, but
upon assurances from Robinson that II
was gentle as a kitten the player pro-
ceeded with the game.
When McGraw got his first chance at
the ball he whaoked II against the
right field fence Ordinarily he would
not have made more than one base. but
he received valuable aid from the dog
The ball attracted the brute's atten-
ton, and he felded It before Thompson
reached the spot The Dane then lay
down and. holding the ball between his
paws, gazed thoughtfully at It, Fielder
Thompson danced a hornpipe at a re-
spectful distance as he heard the com
mand Of his captain to git the ball
and throw IT," Thompson decided not
to git IT, and McGraw made a home
run. Robinson was the only man who
dared take the ball away from the dog
The catcher declared that he would sta
ton the dog at the same spot regularly
this summer and make him useful.
Manager McGraw recalled Is inning

by a spaniel picking up a ball out In
