Talking Of Fitz and Sullivan and
Corbett, brings up an old story, but
one that is little known.
Fitzsimmons was one OF the first to
see that Sullivan was in his decline.
Fitz at that time was coming fast. He
knew that he could whip Sullivan and
become champion of the world, if ne
could get a chance. Fitz <chal-
lenged, but Sullivan ignored him.
Again Fitz published his de-
fiance. Sullivan simply express
ed his contempt for all middle
weights, and gave Corbett the covert
ed chance. That was the real begin
ming of the bad blood between COrbett
and Fitzsimmons. But it amounted
to the same thing in the end, or per-
haps little better for Fltz, for he had
the credit of whipping a champion at
the height of his career, not the de-
cline.-Bob Edgren, in N. Y. World.

Mike Kelly did a funny thing in a
game at Boston that season." says
Pop" Arson. He had reached Sec
ond base on hit and an out and was
prancing around on the line when a
red-hot cinder from a passing locomO-
tive got in the umpire's eye, and
yelling with pain, he called Time. I"
Kelly was the first man to reach the
umpire's side. and a few seconds later
he had deity extracted the cinder
from the arbitrator's eye and the game
was resumed.
But just then the Boston bunch set
up noisy protest about something.
and looking up to see what it was all
about, we saw Kelly was on third in
stead of second.
Here, Kel how did you get over
there? shouted the umpire.
Come over on that same Whit of
smoke that most put your eye out, s"
said Kelly. A long wrangle followed,
but the umpire-probably feeling
grateful to Kel for his medical science
allowed the extra base which Mike
had merely purloined during the mix
up, and little later long fly brought
Kelly home with the winning run. -

his eye Immediately, and reaching for
the tag he discovered that it was about
to be shipped to Cleveland for the
famous Lajoie.
Jones communicated his desire to
Kelly to pinch the bat and told the
manager of the team to get the owner
of the factory busy and he would 10
the trick. Going to another part of
the shop, Jones picked up a "Lajoie
model and told the proprietor that he
wanted to buy. Then Kelly got the
bat-making genius down to the other
end of the shop and while they were
talking business Jones slipped the
pet out of the bundle of three. sub
stituted the one he intended to buy
and got away with the deal.
The bat made the reputation of
Jones as a bat-swinger. That same
afternoon he tried it against the Louis
vile team. The first time up he got
stung in the back and did not get a
chance. The next time he was there
for revenge, and as one to his liking
fioated over the pan he shut his eye
and clOuted it a fearful welt. The
ball just cleared the shortstop's hands
and bounced off the left field George
Tebeau said that he never saw a ball
hit so hard in his life.
Jones got two hits in that game, and
he made two hits in every game for

earned the nickname of "Two-hit

about this time and found the chunk

PRODUCED him to the new bat and Kelly
tried it. In a short time he was hit

The house sparrow has been called

a thief, robber, and this by many so
called bird lovers, yet. in my opinion,

He is lively, bright, thrifty and brave.
No one, not even his worst enemy, can
gainsay this. He is also ever ready
to help his own kind out Of any diff

One day, as was walking up street
past a large mill where dozens Of
sparrows were collected, | saw some
thing which has much increased my
esteem for the so called little street
gamin. 1t was In nesting time, and
young birds hardly able to fly were
quite common. AS walked on my at
