DONOVAN An IDEAL. LEADER.
A Pittsburx Opinion of the Cardinals
Cnptain I'm His OFFICIAL Cnpncity.

Some critics refuse to see Clarke as q
leader. but that opinion does not prevail
here. After watching his work In many
games / am free to say THAI lie keeps a
team going about as well as any field cap
tain I ever saw. with the possible exception
Of Patsy Donovan. The ex-Pirate, l think,
Is the IDEAL leader. He is resourceful. en-
ergetic. self-contained. / have been present
at many games in which he has participated
and have yet to hear him say a word that
could not be repeated in the presence Of
ladies'. His most telling taunt. instead OF
being an oath. is a laugh. which. however.
has provoked profanity, so Patsy Is not en-
tirely blameless. Donovan kicks as often
against the ump'rins as any other player
in the League, not excepting Clarke. Kelley.
Jennings and other successful captains. but
he is original even In his protests and many
of his objections are heard only by the de-
cision maker himself. Patsy has a habit
when going out to his position in right field
or when walking In to the bench at the emu
OF an inning of walking close to the referee
and giving that official a short line of quiet
conversation. and he does IL in such a way
that few Of the spectators get next. The
umpires appreciate this and in the end
Denny gets more close rulings than captains
of the boisterous kind."-Pittsburg Core

HOW FOXES GET RID OF FLEAs.
sly Reynard Takes n Rabbit skin in
HIS Mouth and Backs Int Water.

By an old hunter and naturalist of local
repute a story has been told to the Balti-
more Sun; conf, ming as absolutely true and
the published account. which
has had few believers until now. Of how
foxes rid themselves OF Iieas. The fox, ac-
cording to the book narrative. backs slowly
into a stream OF water. with a portion OF
the pelt OF a rabbit in his mouth. after the
fox has made a meal off the rabbit. The
water drives the fieas first W the fox's
legs and then toward his head. and finally
out on the piece of rabbit fur. and the fox
drops the fur. and his pests are done for.
The local hunter and naturalist referred
to. strange to say. had never heard OF read
this story when he told of the actions of a
fox which he observed the other day in the
waters OF the Patapsco River. The little
animal. he stated. backed into the river
siowiy with SO much elaboration that he
wondered what It meant. 1t carried some
thing,,he Gid not know what-in its mouth
and dropped the something when out In
deep water. Then the fox hurried away.
The object lett noated near to the observer.
and he hauled II ashore with a stick. F1eas
literally swarmed through the object. which
was found TO be a bit OF rabbit fur. The
