horses which, since his accession to
the throne have been run under the
name of the Duke of Devonshire. Ma
her will earn more money next year
than any other jockey who has even
thrown a leg over a horse. In addi-
ton to the money he will receive as a
retaining fee to the king, he has two
other enga gements for which he will
receive $4,000.
This amount, coupled with the S25-
900 from the king and $500 outside fees,
will bring his salary UP to nearly $4,000
more money than the president of the
United States receives.

that he was anxious to induce Bob F'1tz-

more, and he had given him due notice
of his wherea bouts, but neither Fitz nor

THEORY OF LUCK.
1t Doesn't Cut Much Figure in Base

Hughey Jennings is not a follower OF
the theory that luck cuts a big figure
in baseball. He says: Luck figures
in baseball, but winning team is al
ways on the lookout for the finer points
of play. Their auickness in taking adj
vantage of every chance passes for luck
in the minds of the. losing team, and
they cry, We'll, you're lucky bunch :
1 recall one instance where Baltimore
won game by what might be attrib-
uted to luck. but it was merely case
of studying the weakness of a pitcher.
Rusie was pitching against the Orioles
when was a member Of that team in
1895, and had proved himself Chinese
puzzle until near the end of the game.
We couldn't hit his speed, so the boys
tried bunting the ball. One man led
off with bunt, which showed that
Amos was not AN expert at fielding
The next man hunted and Amos fell
over 1t. The third man hunted. The
big fellow fielded that one all right, but
in throwing to third he sailed the ball
over the bagmans head. Three runs
scored before the bah could be recover
ed. and as a result of these antics the
orioles were enabled to win the game.
ssAnother instance where a little trick
won a game for US occurred at st. Louis

Keller came to bat, and the infield play

stead of hitting it out Keller hunted to

Keller had crossed the bag and the win

A LIARS TRUTH.-Two commercial
travellers, one from Atherstone and one
from New York, were discussing the
weather in their respective countries.
The Englishman said that English
weather had one great fault-its sud-
den changes.
"a person may take a walk some
day." he said, "attired in light sum-
mer suit, and still! feel quite warm.
Next day he needs an overcoat.'
That's nothing" said the American;
my two friends, johnson and Jones,
were once having an argument. There
were eight or nine inches Of snow on
the ground. The argument got heated,
and Johnson picked up a SNOWFALL and
threw it at Jones from a distance of
not more than five yards. During the
transit Of that SNOWFALL, believe me or
not. as you like. the weather suddenly
changed and became hot and summer
like, and Jones, instead of being hit
with a SNOWFALL, was-er-scalded with
hot water."-Tit-Bits.
