BASKET BALL. CROSBY HIGH DEATEN
 IN A FAST GAME

One of the most interesting basket. ball games of the season was played at the Y. NJ. c. X. last evening by the team representing the local High school and the Crescents. Although not conspicuous for star playing, yet on account of the roughness and many mixups,' it proved very interesting to the large crowd present. Although the score would lead one to believe the game was very one-sided, yet the small score of the losing side was so because of some hard luck in shooting.
 Gearing easily carried off the honors for the Crescents, while Beach was the star of the Crosby team. Guil- foile played his usual good game and Ryan was all over the floor doing some fine work as guard.
 One to the chief faults of the high school team was their poor throwing for goals. Although due to some hard luck, yet, it is inexcusable, consider ing the time that has been spent in practising When this fault is over come the team will prove much strong CT and win more games. The line up:

DUMMY HOY'S TRICK.


 Dummy Hoy introduced many cu- riUus ana wonderful iiInuN ativns into the game in his day." says Lave Cross. "He WAS playing m center neid for Cincinnati one afternoon when our old St Louis team was there for a series. m rnc nrst inning the man ahead of mo in the batting order sent iung, low fly to Hoy. wnIcn ne caught after q hard run. and we all noticed that he ncld the ball long time after IL was III ms nands.
 When tie ball finally came back the pitcher picked lt up carefully, looked at it as If he were searching for something, and then gave me two low incurves. at which 1 made futile swings.
 Out of sheer curiosity I stepped on the plare and asked 10 see the pali. The catcher handed it over. and th.re on it's new white surface was scratch ed in Dmnmy's we'll known hand: Low incurve.'

THE DIAMOND.
TAYLOR TELLS
 HIS STORY
Denies He is a Crook and Explains the Story Which Connected Him With Alleged Wrong Doing.

St Louis. Feb 2.-While denying that he has ever been crooked. Pitch. CT Jack Taylor is free to admit that there have been times when he has in- dulged in drink to an extent uniting him for play. As to that game !n Pittsburg about which there has been so much talk, Taylor tells the story in full
 50 Garry Hermann says he be- lieves me guilty of being a crook We'll, he had better not say that in front of my face, or I'll knock him down.
 But I don't believe MT Hermann ever said that was crook had a long talk with him in Cincinnati Monday, and he accorded me the best of treatment.
 "Ban Johnson was with Hermann when was given hearing. Johnson is very wrathy over the whole matter. I'm going the limit in fighting this case.' he said. and there'll be - hot time before Pm through John son assured me of his support. so I'm not worrying, as I know that I'm in- nOcent of the charge made by an old employer.
 Hermann. according to press dis. patches the past several days. has hinted strongly about me getting tied up with that Allegheny crowd' of gamblers last season. He spoke to me about the matter Monday, and I told him the story in full.
 I'm sorry to have to spring it, as it doesn't do anyone any good, but as they are trying to brand me q crook it's best that I tell it.
 When we were in Pittsburg last October some friends of Jake Beckley -Beckley. you know. used to play with the Pirates-invited our team out to ball. Beckley and accepted the invitation. We had q fine time and stayed up later than usual.
 Tt was my turn to pitch the next day. Charley Nichols must have mo- ticed that wasn't in any too good shape, but he never said word. so l went into the box. When leaving the hotel for the grounds friend of mine told me he was going to bet on me.
 Better not stated. 'as I'm not quite right to-day, and it's far from a pipe that I win But he insisted upon backing me and I couldn't get him to change his mind. pitched as well as I knew how, and only lost out. to 3, Smith winning the game for the Pirates by making a singe-a nasty pop for two bases back of third, with runners on second and third. l when he tried to dodge an iushOot. q had two strikes and no balls on him. gave him fast one on the in- side. He>tried to dodge 1t, but ran into it, and the ball shot up over Burke's head. The two runners scored and that settled whatever chance we had.
 T only gave six hits in the game; slammed the right field wall once On the fly, so I couldn't have been pull 1 ing could I? Jake wasn't feeling like playing any more than was. and as the score of the game will show, he struck out four times.
 'I'm glad that I've Johnson's sup port. for If Hermann has turned on me I'll have hard time proving my innocence But I'm innocent just as sure as you're born.
 T was in Cincinnati Monday 10 face Jim Hart. but he didn't show up. Why wasn't he there? If I'm q crook wouldn't be anxious to face | the music. would IF"

HAWAII IS IN DANGER.
Great Lake Of Lava May Explode at
Any Moment, Dealing Death
to Thousands

Honolulu, May S.-The three-mile long
crater of Kilauea, q constantly agitated
lake of liquid lava, is showing great ac-
tivity, and fears are felt that the enor-
nous mass may be thrown into the air
by an explosion and overwhelm a part
of the island of Hawaii and it's %. 900
inha bitants.
The burning lava in the great crater.
the largest in the world, is steadily ris-
ing. Should the pressure increase there
is great danger of a terrific eruption.
I\ilauea is the child of Mauna Loa,
but has far outgrown its parent in size,
although not in the constancy Of flow
1t is sixteen miles from Mauna Loa and
fifteen miles nearer the town of Hilo,
whose inhabitants have several times
been thrown into a state Of terror by
the lava flow from Mauna Loa.
Fishermen on the east coast Of Hawaii
say kllauea has never presented as
grand a sight as in the last few days.
Whole Island in Danger.
On account of the relative smaller
height of kilauea, an eruption from it
might not reach the north coast but it
is feared Mauna Loa, which is 1000 feet
higher and in the center of the island,
would be exploded by the eruption of the
other and cover the whole island.
Hilo is considered safe from a mere
overflow of Kilauea, and it is only an
explosive eruption that is feared The
overhows from Kiauea usually go down
the south and west slopes and away
from Hilo.
May Change Coast Line.
In any event, it is likely that the ac-
tivity now begun will leave it's mark on
the topography of the island. In one
of its overfows 100 years ago Kilauea
gave forth 15,OOO,OOO,OOO cubic feet of
rock and lava, changing the formation of
the coast for miles.
In one Of its later eruptions, that of
1868, kilauea sent a stream of burning
lava sixty miles to the southwest, where
it poured a flaming cataract over the
cliffs into the sea II the sea the mass
formed a pyramid of lava, which, by
later accessions, gradually became at
tached to the mainland and is now
known as Kalae point.
