The Central park authorities in New York have bought number of bushels of peanuts that are to be fed to the scores of squirrels that live in the park trees. The little fellows are fed each day by people, old and young, who have made friends with them, and who go t the park for that purpose, and as re- suit they do not lay away the store needed for winters use. The present cold weather keeps these unstable ben efactors at home, and the squirrel fam lily would have hard time of it, if the officials had no money for peanuts.

Experiments which have been in pro- gress in Russia for five years to ascer- tain how far dogs might be used for military purposes have disappointed the hopes of those who hold that such animals could be useful in time of war. It was believed that, in addition to eff fective work as pickets, certain varie- ties of dogs could be taught to carry dispatches and ammunition to the fir ing line during battle, but the experi- ments which have been made in this direction have proved unsatisfactory. It is also agreed that even if the dogs could be taught to do these things the task of training large numbers would be out of all proportion to their value and that it would moreover take men away from their regular duties.

Schmitz before the fight. to be opened

Their product is certainly one de

Evansville had nothing coming

a license for two and made third on

broke down all traditions by rapping
out a two-bagger for the run.
Ebert made three wide swipes and
the side was out. In the next inning
the prospects of the visitors once
more went glimmering. Burchell,
who got a hit. being thrown out at
second and Lawrence, who survived
on the play. following the same
route. and a double being narrowly
averted Then with Burt on first,
Quinn stood for the second poke he
got in the Stats during the game and
News coming up at a bad juncture,
once more hit and brought both in.
A fieIder's choice ended the inning.
Yet another came in the eighth, and
for time it looked as though the
locals were to lose the game then
and there. Kennedy walked to his
base, Hopkins struck out and Ebert
flew. Then Burchell and Lawrence
hit safe ones and landed on third and
second with the run in. Burt hit a
liner to Donnelly that looked good
for couple more, but the manager
was there. The ninth was easy.

Terre Haute, July 26.-Larry Schla-

Three-I league club, has formed n
team from players of the league to
make a trip through the south and
far west at the end of the league sea-

ond baseman of the Evansville club,

go on the trip do so on the agree
ment to share equally in the re-
ceipts.
The following are the players who
have agreed to make the trip: Seis-

Making the most of an opportunity
Won Rock Island game of ball yes
terday. If the advantages that came
our way in the third had not been
followed up assiduously the result
would have read differently at the
end. Perhaps we had profited by the
beating from Decatur Wednesday.
1t was in the third that the locals
squeezed in three of their four hits
of the game with sacrifice, and the
assistance of a base on balls. wild
pitch and a pair of errors brought
five runs. After that Burchell's
pitching was invulnerable and it was
upl to Smith and the remainder of
the team to hold them down below
five. That was done, without any
thing to spare.

Evansville ought to carry an auto
mobile along with the team, also, TO
get Mr.. News around the bases.
It's a cinch he would see to the
starting.
The bloomington Bulletin has start
ed the story that Manager Donnelly
has been relieved of the management
of the Rock Island team. No one
is quite so much surprised at this bit
of news as the members of the local
association. 1t is purely pipe, nor is
such course thought of. Donnelly
has shown himself one of the best
managers in the league and the Rock
Island fans stand back of him.
Kennedy is still playing with Ev-
ansvilIe and managing the team Al
though his resignation has been ac-
cepted the present arrangement will
hold till the team returns home, when
another manager will be provided.
President l.. ID. Smith, of Terre
Haute, said rumors about Hackett
were not true. He said that ST. Louis
wanted Hackett, but Terre Haute
could not spare him at present, as
there were but three pitchers with
the team. Simonton had been sent
home and is dead one. Terre Haute
has Hackett, Vickers and Scott nov
and to let Hackett go would give the
team two pitchers. He may be sold
or traded later if other circumstances
turn out right, but will play with the
