Injury to Yosemite Park.

According to the annual report of the
acting superintendent of the Yosemite Ma
tional Park. in California, 5000 visitors
have enjoyed the pleasures Of the park dur
ing the fiscal year. About two-thirds were
campers. Stricter regulations are recon-
nended for governing the conduct of camp
ers. Evidence has been found that these
people have used high explosives in the
Bridal Ve1l creek to kill trout. Every fire
In or near the park during the summer was
attributed to either careless or criminal
acts of campers. Authority is recommend
ed for burning Of fallen timber during the
winter months, and for letting holders of
leased lands within the park limits Craze
cattle near their own premises under park
supervision.

CLANCY WAS YERY EASY:
The Bristols Pounded Him Hard
 In Three Innings.

Eleven Hits and Eight Runs Were
 Made in the First Three Innings
 Waterbury Presented a Patched Up
 Team-McCormick Failed to Show
 Up and Courtney Covered Third
 Timmy O'Rcurke Went Behind the
 Bat-Story of the Game.
 It is not a difficult matter to tell the tale of yesterdays game with Bristol. Its was a very unsatisfactory game from every standpoint. It does seem strange that Charley Clancy should lose yesterdays game just as he did the one in Meriden the other day, but such is the case nevertheless. The first three innings of the game gave those present a case of heart failure ana it is probably the first time that Clancy has been asked to retire from the box by the spectators of a game. There was something very peculiar about the pitching, for Bristol had no trouble in finding him just when and where hit was wanted. In the first three innings Bristol hit Clancy for eleven hits and eight runs were scored. During the rest of the game but three hits were made off his delivery and but two runs were scored That feature alone of the exhibition was enough to lose any or dinary game.
 Then the team that Waterbury pre- scented was a strange one. While there were not many errors made yet each man seemed to be lost or in q strange land and there was a lack of ginger. Be hind the bat We saw Timmy 0'Rourke and to tell the truth without any flat tery the lad played the position like a veteran. It was no fault of his if the game was lost. At third base we dis covered George Courtney and he had just one chance to do anything in the field and he also was all right. In the center garden was Waller and he was lost to himself and everyone else. He had but one chance and he took it. Luskey with q split finger was in the right garden and the two flies that came his way were his by lots to spare The cause of all this mixture was that Collifiower Is still i'll. Miriam did not show up and Mccormick went home made up yet that is to bring him back 10 NdleTDury- u Was WIlu SUCH tedIn that We undertook to beat the leaders in the race and the result was easily foretold
 Leaving this all one side if some of the players on the local team had not been under the influence Of soup we might have scored few more runs. There was bad coaching and there was bad base running and there was poor Judgment used when some of the men were at bat. That is sufficient to say about the game. and save us from any more such exhibitions

HARSH VOICED cANARIEs.
They Are Not Allowed by German Ex- perts to Stay with the a1ore
 Promising Singers.

"Moulting is the crucial time for a canary's voice." writes Ida Shaper Hoxie in an article on "The Singing Village of Germany" in Ladies' Home Jornal. sSome birds lose the little that they have; others, of course, b1os- som out into promising singers. As soon as harsh tone is heard, out goes that unfortunate bird, for promising singers must never hear harsh chirp. When I asked what became of the un- fortunates I was told by the fanciers: 'Oh, we sell them, of course. You know they can sing in way, and many people don't know the differ ence between good singer and bad one.' My mind went back to certain canary I had had to live with once in Americai I wondered what percen- tage of these outcasts, who are hud- dled together in cage out of hearing of the more favored birds and allowed to chirp as they please, go to America
 One of the men who devotes all his time to the canaries allowed me to spend several hours among his birds. I sat long while trying to analyze the exquisite sounds that came from dozen tiny cages with closed fronts hanging high on the wall. Icould have gone to sleep had ch0sen--the trill- ing was so soft and sweet, not at all like the songs of the 1usty-throated American birds.n
