DEER AND DOGS AS FRIENDS.
California Gives Instances Where They
Have Played and Run Together.

In the town of Oroville. CaI.-now
notable gold dredging center-where
live, 1 very recently saw a fawn,
still in its spots, unconcernedly ram
bling about the main street; dogs that
were in nOWiSe accustomed to it went
up, Smelled it, as is their canine Gus
tom, and passed on. The fawn was
perfectly unconcerned.
Two years ago there was another
deer, over half grown, in the same
town, which had as its companion
and safeguard a large Newfoundland
dog. These animals were often seen
playing together, and went downtown
together at their own desire On these
trips the Newfoundland seemed, by
instinct to know that the deer was at
the mercy of the other dogs, and saw
to it that no dog molested the deer.
The family owning these two attrac-
tive animals has moved from OrOville,

The cattle dogs, wild dogs, bear

exciting chase and fight I ever wit
messed was between these dogs and a
great wild bear that succeeded in rip

best trained dogs. The bear was
finally secured alive and dragged into
the corral at the tail of a RATA snub-
bed to the horn of the saddle of the

For a month saw a male and fe-

Captain Fred Clarke Explains
Situation Of Pirates.
Gives Some Reasons Why They
Have Played So Slow.
WEATHER TOO COLD.
No Chance to Practice or Take
Usual Exercise.
Thinks His Two New Men Will
Help the Team Along.

New York, June 1O.-''We made 4
poor start last spring, but not 50 bad
as this. I blame our poor showing
this spring to the bad weather we ex-
perienced right after our return from
the south. The team was in grand
shape then, but the cold, wet weather
we butted into north simply tied Us
ali up. We simply had to stay in ou~
hotels. There was no chance to prac-
tice or to take any exercise" SAID
Fred Clarke, of the Pittsburgs. today.
'The consequence was there WIS
hardly a player who did not gain Il;
weight. 1t is pretty tough when play
ers feel it necessary, in fact obliga-
tory, to take off weight in the midst
of the championship season. But that
is what we had to do, and the old
timers on the team are only just now,
with this hot weather, able to say
they are, somewhat near right.
1.-The team is in good shape now
and are playing somewhere up to
their old form, although not quite on
edge yet They will get there all
right, however. All this talk about
there being friction in the team, lack
of discipline and all that nonsense,
makes me tired. Such stories are all
false. Every man on the team is my
friend. and I am theirs, and they are
all on the best of terms.
'Leever Is just as good now as he
ever was. I shall have Flaherty with
just what 1 need-a left-hand pitcher

There was not a really genuine ex-
citing moment in the game Every
thing good that happened had a big
streak of red Springfield uniform
wrapped around it. The very first
man up got his base on balls. A man
named Porter, who is agent at Station
No. 1, singled him home. In the sec
ond inning Zoeller's got life with a
single, and Captain Smith affixed his
claim on one of Howie's wide ones and
hit it over the fence. In the third
Perch got a safe one and came in on
Olson's error. The fifth, sixth and
seventh were blanks. but in the eighth
after Smith had walked, Perch got to
first on Olsons second error Wood
hit for two bases and twice the score
marker used his chalk. Perrine didn' t
like to see Wood so lonely out at the
second station so he hit for two meas
ures, stole third and came home on
Porters grounder to first. That mark
ed UP four for one inning and a total
of eight.

However, there was some fun in the
funeral for the spectators. 1.-THE hu-
NOR producing instrument-was the
umpire He goes under the name of
Larry. It would be hard to fifty de-
scribe him. He is not the incest look
ing man in the world and would not
make the Judges worry for fear he
would kick If not given a prize at a
beauty show. When giving a decision
he just throws back his head, looks
up into the deep blue armament for an
inspiration. and then sings out his Judg-
ment. On bases his work was good,
but on balls and strikes he can stand
considerable Improvement. The audi
ence guyed him numerically, but it
never worried him in the least. For
that reason he will doubtlessly hold
his job If he gets his lenses down a
little closer on the pitchers slants, there
is little reason to believe that he will
have trouble. He takes Strarup's
place, the latter quitting because the
players were too saucy.
Springfield is not a better team than
Topeka and the Saints will, in all prob
ability, smash up their hoodoo before
the Mfdgets pull out of town. The two
clubs are about on par, only the
Saints have not yet recovered from the
shock attending their disorganization,
and the fear of being attached to a
can.

out six men and fielded his position in
the best of form. But somehow or 9TH

him-and cannot connect with the
sphere That has been true all season.
The last time HOWE met Springfield
three Sundays ago, it was just like the
game of yesterday-things just broke
right for the other fellow. HOWE has
some sort of a hoodoo hanging over
him. Some of the other players who
believe in odd numbers said that it
would break if he won Topeka's tnir-
tenth game yesterday, only twelve
now being on the credit side of the
ledger for the Saints. How they will
solve the puzzle now is hard to say
It's tough on HOWE, but his working
days in the Topeka camp are probably
about over
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-06-10

That practically says it all. Topeka
could not clout the sphere safely.
They connected with lanky Cupid Hor-
tons slants all right-but the ball
wouldn't bounce in the right direc-
ton. Neither did the Midgets drub
HOwie-six safe ones were all they
managed to get. But they came to-
gether and with them Olson's two err
rors. Two men went to bases on balls
and both came in, and every man
who made a hit, also Travelled the
complete circuit. One of these cIouts
was a home run off Captain Smith s
bat with a man on base, and three of
the others were two-baggers. Things
just went right for Shorty Hurlburt's
children-and everything went all
wrong for the graybacked Saints.

the exact reason Of his new lineup, he
answered: Some can lay EN- down
better than the others. If one man can
hit himself to first, a good bunter
should follow to push him ahead" Cole,
Sisler, Lining and Randolph are the
they are sandwiched in between the
other men. The change did not seem
to benefit in Thursdays game, how
ever.
The Saints shifted from the grand
stand tothe bleachers' bench yesterday.
Ballplayers are superstitious, and the
change was made for no other reason
than in hope of its breaking the ap-
parent hoodoo which has settled down
Alberts' children.
sedalia seems to have it's suspicious
about all the umpires. Now the Gold
bugs think that Shanks is giving them
the worst Of it and is a partner to the
awful plot of one owens to Wrecnh vic
tory from them by fair means or foul.
The people Of Topeka who attend the
baseball games are about ready to
make a discovery about which they
have known something for quite a few
days, namely, that the Saints cannot
hit Kansas City knew all during May
that the Blues had no batting eyes. and
that town very bravely discovered it
several days ago and now Dale Gear
has commenced a wholesale firing sys-
tenn and says he will keep it up until
he does find a bunch of men who can
fasten their optics on the horsehide.
1t seems as If that is what the Saints
are up against. There is no use beat
ing about the bush-it takes hits to win
game. Topeka has been fielding prac-
tically as we'll as any of them, and il
the batting could only be brought up to
the Joplin or lola standard, the Saints
would be near the top of the column
instead Of trying to break into the bot
tom row. It is only fair to warn Man
ager Alberts that with his aggregation
trotting the slow pace at which ii has
been going for the past ten days, pat
ronage will dWindle down until the pro
position is a losing one. In looking
over the list. Schrant, Olson and Cole
are the only batters who are anything
like really dependable. Sisler, who
promised much as a batter, does not
now seem to be able to hit an ice wa
gon coming down an alley. F'reil and
Randolph, the new men have started
out ntcely-but they are not Weekdays or
Nanderhills. Dummy has a great rep
utation as a hitter but he too is on
the list of probationers. Lining is a
fair pinch hitter, but he does not seem
to be able to open the fireworks and

hitters. Either a search warrant has IA
