CHANCES OF A BURGLAR.
He Is Not the One Usually Who Is
in Danc0r,

man who was arrested by local
detectives few weeks ago and after
ward sent to the penitentiary on a
charge of burglary, talked freely to
the officer concerning his manner OF
living:
will you tell me why you prefer
life of crime to that OF an honest. up
right man." the detective asked him.
Il have often wondered added the
officer. why burglars will take such
desperate chances, when so frequently
there is but little to be gained.
But we don't take the chances,
said the burglar. The man who
comes after us takes the chances. He
takes his life in ,is own hands when
he leaves his beu-chamber and goes
in pursuit OF an unwelcome caller.
The odds are all against him and IN
favor of US We know where we are
and have an idea from where the oc-
cupant of the house will come. OF
course, we only go to rob. and. when
necessary. to fight. No burglar is
going to get caught if he can help it.
even if he has to resort to murder.

and that some time | should think,

chances
There are remote chances. the
burglar said, but they are so remote
that they are never considered. IT

see that not one burglar in a hun

is great change in the results you
may depend upon it that burglaries
will not cease."-WaShingt Star.

The True Situation.

Missionary efforts for twelve-clut
eaeue are sure to be fought most bit
terly by Ban Johnson, but it is idle tc
say that no such plans and specltica
tions are on the ways. The launchine
of the old ship "Amalgamat1on,
marked the close of the war OF 1891
and there is no more sentiment among
losers now than there was eleven
years ago. Cincinnati has never en-
ioyed the picking Of the National
League since the reduction OI the cir
cult that it did when the weakllnss
of a dozen teams came along tor per
iodical slaughter. Undoubtedly, the
populace would like TO see American
and National League get together anu
dwell in harmony. but it is not human
nature to except the National to greet
the American and thank that organlZa'
ton for taking its players and kicking
over the government under the pro
tecting provisions of which it rose
from a minor to aftluence. 1t Is
easy enough to suggest propriety anu
good sense in getting together, but the

Tim Murnane's Gossip.

The American League race is grow
ing more interesting daily, and now at
least four other teams have a chance
to beat out Chicago. However, l still
pin my faith on Comiskey's boys, who
will finish strong.
/ look for Chicago to strike its gait
soon and get away from the teams now
making trouble. The most dangerous
of the competitors perhaps are the
Athletics, who seem to have more at
stake than the other teams and are
working hard all the time.
/ figure it out that the American
League has played to 100000 atten-
dance up to date, which goes to show
that the public have some use for the
American League. and this fact is
enough to force the old magnates to
"get a move on to disturb the new

The Prospects.

With Captain Comiskey's White SoN
getting ready to make a runaway OF
the American race, and the Pirates al
most in position to forclose it's Sort-
gage on the National joy-rag, 1T looks
as il the American Association would
turn out the best fight in the family
of leagues. George white Wings Te-
beau and his Louisvilles are now cen
ira, figures in that organization. The
renewal of interest in the games in the
Falls City. where even Barney Drey-
fus failed and lost big money, is one
of the most surprising incidents of the
campaign of '92. 1t chloroforms the
old rot about alien ownership. The
Boston Americans do not appear to
be suffering because the team is
owned by a Milwaukee-Clevelan syn
dicate, and the fact that the triumvir
are native sons hasn't given the south
enders a bulge on the aliens at Hunt
ingdon Park. Tebeau had more nerve
than any Bourbon. He went where
Walter Wilmot had trod and failed,
and proved better business man
than the National Leaguers long be-
enough to get grounds down town.
They cost him more money in rental,
but he is now reaping the benefit OF
his foresight in the greatest weekday
turnouts in the baseball history OF the
Falls City. According to the doctrines
of the anti-aliens Tebeau is in the
wrong pew, but Louisville people

A Record Game.

The hoodoo that has been chasing
Bill Dinneen for two seasons refuses
to be shaken. For II innings Boston
and Philadelphia had it out in one
of the longest and one of the best
games ever played in that city. Two
and two the score stood from the sixth
to the seventeenth inning. Boston had
a chance to win in the sixteenth, but
Doughertys stupid running lost it,
In the seventeenth Monte Cross hit to
deep center and would have been out
had Chick Stahl been in the game,
But Young Gleason was in Chick )
place, and Monte made the circuit.
Then came Scbreck with a three-bag-
ger, scoring on Waddell's out. Boston
let its last chance so by with little
effort to win. 1t was a great day for
Rube Waddell. After every inning he
gave a tumbling exhibition. his hand
springs and fip-hops giving great
amusement to the crowd and showing
that the husky youngster had strength
to spare.-Boston Herald.

EresGiIln Solo Ponies.

The rapidly increasing popularity OF
polo, SAYS Country life in America,
has made a good demand for polo
ponies. Tie requisites of a good polo
pony are so rare and unusual that
really frst-ciass ones are worth a
great deal of money-nore than an
equally high-class bunter. In England
the majority of the good ones are
thoroughbreds. but it is rarely that a
thoroughbred can be found Of the re-
quirements OF size and endurance. The
breeding OF polo ponies has become a
recognized industry in Texas and
elsewhere. and wherever such an end
is sought a thoroughbred or Arab sire
is kent. Thus considerable breeding
has been infused into the polo pony
of to-day. Hardly one animal out of a
carload shipment ever turns out to be
fitted for the play. A prominent pony
may be worth several hundred dol
lars, with first-cass pony may be
sold for one or two thousand dollars,
or frequently whatever their owners
will take for them.
