Blinded by an exploding cartridge while
he was hunting near the headwaters of
Chaffee creek in Trinity county. Col. Henry
Weiser crawled on his hands and knees two
miles through the underbrush, feeling his
way with his hands. TIL he reached the
cabin where he was staying with Charles
Wommer.
He could hear the roar of the water In
the creek half a mile away. The sound
gave him his direction. Carefully feeling
his way, he crawled the whole distance
through the brush and over the rocks. He
dared not walk lest he should fall over
some precipice. Reaching the creek he
crawled down the gulch, following the
stream as closely as he dared to- until he
reached his home. two miles and a half

PLAYED "RINGERS."
Paid Big Money for Professionals, but
Gould Not Bet.

Base ball enthusiasts of Westchester
county, N. Y. who attended the game
Saturday at Rye between the Clippers Of
Tuckahoe and the Hamltons of Port
Chester are laughing over the joke the fol-
lowers of the Clippers played upon them
selves. Instead of winning 5000 on the
game, as they expected. by playing three
members of the St Louis Nationals under
fictitious names. they lost 500 by the
scheme. Offers of 20 to / that the Hamil-
tons would not score went begging and 1t
was impossible to place a bet on the game
For months the game between the Clip
pers and Hamiltons has been the talk
among the Westchester fans. The Hamll
tons have defeated every team they met
this season. and when they challenged the
Clippers 1t was thought that the latter did
not have a chance to win. The Clippers
felt uneasy. SO they engaged Taylor. Shea
and Warner of the ST. Louis Nationals.
and gave them 500 each to play under as
sumed names
When the game was called Saturday
there was 5000 on hand to back the
chances OF the Tuckahoe team. The
Hamiltons hackers. who are usually good
betters, became suspicious and refused to
bet The Clippers won by to 3.

To Prevent Explosion Of Napbtba

Successful tests of an apparatus da-
signed by Louis Korsler to prevent the
explosion of naphtha or gasoline confined
in tanks were made near Jacobs shipyards.
City Island New York. Saturday Enough
gasoline was used in the tests to blow I'D
half of City Island. Capt Gray and police
men were on hand to keep the crowd back.
Coroner O'Gorman was on hand, but thew
had little to do. Onlookers when thew
learned what was up scattered In all direc-
tons. The invention is composed of two
zinc tubes, one inside the other with a
wire gauze screen between them The
tubes are perforated. The apparatus is
inserted in tank from top to bottom In
case of fire the tube acts as flue carrying
off the dangerous gases. In an experiment
with a Navigation can of gasoline the
liquid burned without explosion. A sixty
gallon tank was filed with naphtha. the
apparatus inserted In it, and a big fire
built around the tank. Spectators scam
pered away, and the policemen showed
signs of uneasiness, but the tests proved
successful. 1t is said that the Standard
Oil Company offered the inventor 100000
for his invention and that he refused to
sell It.

yet do not hesitate to say that during all
those years there was not a pitcher in the
National League who worked as well as
Nichols--who pitched such uniformly good
ball and made such a high percentage of
victories year after year. Nichols was a
marvellous pitcher In those days, and | be-
lieve he still is capable OF doing better
work than a majority of the twirlers in
the National League. With him 1t was not
a case of performing brilliantly one day
and falling down the next time he made his
appearance in the box. Nichols still stands
for all that is good and manly in base ball
and for that reason l was anxious to add
him to the Philadelphia team as soon as L
heard the ST. Louis club had let him go.
There Is no doubt in my mind that Nichols
is good for several years yet"
