 While the visitors tapped Ginger free ly throughout the first contest, they were unable to hit the ball when d single would have meant a run. On the other hand the Barons punched Efts in the third and fourth innings and secured five runs
 In the second game the Barons outbat- ted the visitors, but the latter secured two of their three hits in the ninth inning and tied the score, then won the game in the twelfth inning as the result of er- TOTS by Aleock
 In this second game Dessau established a seasons record by not allowing the visitors a single hit for eight straight innings. He had control, speed and curves at his command, and the tail enders had fallen in one, two, three order before his slab work. However in the ninth the first man up hit for two bags, and after twQ men were out, Kellackey singled to left scoring DeArmand, who had made the two bagger.
 It was unfortunate for Dessau that he weakened in this inning, for otherwise he would have established an even greater record for himself. Ills support, as a | rule, up to the ninth inning had been ex- l cellent, and the fielders had caught or stopped ball after ball that was labeled Init"
 The First Game.
 The first contest was a batting fest Niles lead off in the first inning with double, but never got further than third. In the third inning, however, Ginger led off with single between left and center field, and he scored from first on double by Niles to right field. Niles was sacrificed to third base and scored on Smiths long fly to left field.
 When the third inning commenced, Wagner hit hot grounder down the third base line, and advanced to second on sacrifice by Matthews. Alcock hit safely to the infeld and Wagner advanced to | third. Anderson's single down the first l base line scored Wagner and sent Alcock | to third. Anderson stole second base and Alcock scored on the throw to the key stone bay and return to the plate. Ginger then secured a second single, this being over second base. and Ander- son scored from second Niles hit fly to right field, which McCann caught after a pretty run, and doubled Ginger at first.
 Half dozen times during the game the visitors had good chances to score, and hit would have sent couple of men across the plate, but the hit could not be secured off Ginger at Just those times The only run came as the result of an error by Alcock. He juggled a grounder that Johnson hit to him. Garvin hit grounder to Niles, who threw John son out at second.

 For the first eight innings of the sec ond game 1t looked impossible for the Barons to lose, but they did. Dessau was In great form and nothing that resembled a hit was made until the ninth.
 The Aiding N hind him was brilliant at times, and the Barons cut off several balls that looked like sure hits. However, three errors in the first and second in- nings put runners on the bases and threatened the game but Dessau seemed not to suffer from his usual weakness and retired batters in order.
 The Barons' only run was the result of some daring base-running on the part of Smith, who was chasing around the bags in the place of Father Vaughan. The manager reached first on base on balls and Smith was designated as run ner to relieve Harry. who has suffered all season with a lame leg.
 Smitty was sacrificed to second, but stole third base, rather unusual stunt for the right fielder Garvin threw wildly to third, and Smith scored. The Barons secured a hit an inning for eight in- nings. but could not bunch them and get a runner across the plate.
 In the ninth the crowd was beginning to leave, but they were quickly brought back to the grand stand by the news

Odd Animal Laws.

When dog was unlawfully killed in
countries differing so widely as Ger
many and Arabia the owner Of the ami
NAL used to be inde.nnided il the fol
lowing manner: Tie dog was hung up
by the tail, With the point Of its muzzle
touching the ground, and the man who
had committed the offense was obliged
to pour over it corn or -four until the
carcass was completely hidden by the
heap. This heap then became the prop
erty Of the man who owned the dog.
In Syria there was a specially curl
GUS variation, for if it were a street
dog that was killed the -four was made
into bread and given to it's fellows.
No doubt this arose from the value at
tached in those old parts to street dogs
as scavengers. BY the old Welsh laws
of Howell the damages for killing an
animal belonging to another We're as
sessed in the same odd manner.

Milk and Apples.

Though no one would think so from
looking at a fluid glass Of milk and a
solid apple, the percentage OF solids
and water in apples and in milk is al
most the same, apples being IS per
cent water, and milk SO per cent.
There Is more sugar In apples and
more acid In milk. A diet Of both ap-
pies and milk is one Of the most whole
some and we'll balanced. The potash
contents of both are high. They are
the best for brain, bone and muscle
nourishment, and In their effect upon
the nerves they are soothing.
In skimming milk the cream remov-
ed lessons the fat percentage, and for
older people or fat children the skim
milk is equally desirable, In some cases
better. In eating apples the skin, too,
should be eaten. Pared apples are not
80 nutritious, as the ash contents OF
the apple skin are valuable to the hu'
man system.
