Men en Bases-Game Was a Pitchers BattIs-ResuIts of Other Games in State and Other Leagues.
 New Haven again defeated the Bridgeport team on the savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon, scoring two runs in the seventh inning, this scoring being the only run making of the entire game. The contest had been keenly fought up to that time and it was anybody's game. In the seventh, J. o'Brien, the first man up for the Blues, went out from short stop to first. Cam avan then hit safely, stole second and was sent to third by Fitzmaurice's neat sacrifice. O'Rourke and Corcoran then decided to give Spiesman his base on balls, evidently thinking that Hanifin would be an easy victim. With two men out and Canavan on third base and Spiesman having been presented with second base by an cratic play by Corcoran, Hanifin connected with the first ball pitched and sent it soaring for two bases. O'Rourke and Corcoran had misjudged their man and the Blues had won the game
 The contest was distinctly pitchers battle. Hanifin made better showing than Concoran and the latter is O'Rourke's star twirler. Each pitcher gave two men their bases on called balls. Corcoran struck out two while four men failed to solve Hanifin's curves. Bridgeport secured five hits to seven scored off Corcoran by the Blues.
 Bridgeport fielded better than did the home team, but Hanifn's steady pitch ing more than enumerated the effects of the Blues "off-color'' fielding The game was of the snappy variety from start to finish. The Park City team tried to score and several times had men on third base, but could not send them over the plate. Connell caught a fine game for the New Haven team, ex- changing places with Spiesman, who went into right field for the day. Spies is a trife overworked. The summary of the game follows:

Australian Stony Desert.

The great stony desert Of north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt,
an Australian explorer, in 1S45-46. 1t
is north of the river Darling and is
about 800 miles long and 100 broad,
consisting of sandy dunes or ridges.
It's want of trees. except along the
creeks, gives the country a sterile ap-
pearance. These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect Of winds and
a gradually retiring sea.
According to Captain Sturt, these
waters We're gradually lost by evapOra-
ton or carried to some undiscovered
sea. The only vegetation, growing scan
tily, are prickly acacias in full bloom,
all of stunted growth. Water is scarce
except in the creeks which are shelter
ed, and this is generally brackish.
Few travellers care to traverse this in
hospitable desert

Sucking Poisonous Wounds.

Among all people the sucking of the
wound has ever been considered the
most effective remedy Of immediate
application for snake bites. In Africa
a cupping instrument is employed in
emergencies of the kind to draw out
the poisoned blood. The ancients fol
lowed the same methods, and when
Cato made his famous expedition
through the serpent infested African
deserts he employed many savage
snake charmers, called ''psylli," to fol-
low the army. They performed many
mysterious rites over men who were
bitten, but the efficacy of their treat
ment appears to have consisted in suck
ing the wounds.

The Rose.

at all times the rose has enjoyed Pc
culiar favor as sacred flower. Mo-
hammedan tradition says that when
Saladin captured Jerusalem he refused
to enter the shrine of the temple which
had been converted into church by
the Crusaders till the walls had been
thoroughly cleansed and purified with
rosewater A similar story is told Of
the Church of st. Sophia, at CONSTANT
nople. when transformed from q Chris
tan place of worship to a MOham-
medan mosque. The origin of the rose,
according to MOslem tradition, is that
the blood of the prophet sprang into
new life in this glorious crimson flow
er. To this day when a Turk sees q
rose lying on the ground he will raise
it tenderly, kiss it reverently and de-
post the frail blossom in some place
of safety.
