Hutchinson at Oklahoma City

Jackson. the catcher who caught
yesterdays game for the White Sox, us
Mike Sullivan, the regular catcher for
the Kansas City Burkes- He played
under the name Of Jackson so as to
keep the fact Of his playing with a
Western association team from George
Tebeau. the owner of the Kansas City
team. Mr.. Burke, the manager of the
Kansas City team, is very friendly to
Cooley and Shiveley of the Western
association but for many reasons Mr..
Tebeau is very hostile to all the teams
Of this organization. If the fact should
become known to the multi-ma gnatc
trouble might ensue between Mr.
Burke and himself. It was thought
that he would play under the name of
Sweeney but decided to use the name
of Jackson.

The entrance to the castle is over a
delightful old moat and through an
impressive drawbridge under a wicked
looking portcullis. There are walls
within walls, and practically three cas-
ties set one inside the other. The
walls are ten or twelve feet thick and
old cannon still stand on the ramparts,
though they are not the kind now used.
Only one regiment Of soldiers is kept
in the castle, but there Is room for
several. The soldiers are Highlanders,
wear the plaids and kits, and show
their bare knees with as much pride
now as did the fighter of old times.
In Edinburgh one gets used to seeing
men with bare knees. gayIy cOlOred

tassels and furred tails hanging from

when they adopted their gorgeous uni
forms To my mind the masculine
knee was never either a thing of
beauty or joy to look upon. It
might be different with the female
knee-of that I can nos speak=but
after mans knee has been exposed
to the weather for q few years until it
is brown and dirty looking, I do not
think it adds to his impressfveness to
keep 1t before the public However.
the Scots think it is the proper style,
and as these are their knees I suppose

On the way from the castle to Holy
rood is the great church of St Giles,
which was the center of the reforma-
ton. Originally Catholic cathedral,
John Knox and his followers tore
down the images of saints and defaced
the ornaments and the artistic decora-
tons. There was nothing of the
aesthetic or artistic in John Knox, and
/ his ideas have dominated Scotland for
nearly five centuries He partitioned
the old cathedral into four churches,
! and only recently the interior has been
restored to its ancient condition Knox

Catholics and went to the extreme to

Charles Kullolee, about as fine a
specimen OF the American aborigine
as is usually found off of the reserva-

visiting in the land of nod last night.
He was drunk, very drunk when IN

for a name was a grunt and he was
booked as Charlie E5uhh.
His dress this morning as he appear

nearly that Of his prehistoric ancestors
as the ordinance of the city will permit
to say nothing Of the laws of the state.
He carried a full stock of the stolid in
difference which eharacterizes his race
and as far as conversation is concerned
he has Roosevelt and his proposed spell

Besides his Indifference he wore a
shirt as Of the reddest red and a pair

to him and there was not a move Of his
countenance to indicate his like or dis

There are now over 800, 900 people
in Edinburgh and with it's trade and
its great industries of bookmaking
printing and distilling the city is grow

parliament, but there is a supreme
court of high standing and the local
government of Scotland is transacted
from the old parliament house So the
city and its officials and its soldiers re-
tain the characteristics of a capital
city. The street cars are cable cars,
probably on account of the steep and
numerous grades, and as they carry
passengers on top as well as inside
they look strange to a wanderer from

The castle rock at the upper end Of
the ridge 1 have described commands
view of the country for miles and miles
on every side and has been the domi-
mating fortress in Scotland since 617,
when Edwin king OF Northumbrla,
built a fort there and gave it his mama,
'Edwin's Burgh." Northumbria was
a north English kingdom of the Saxons
and constantly at war with the Scots,
who captured the fortress in the tenth
century and who have held it since.
For 600 years there was more or less
continuous warfare between the English
and the Scots and between the kings Of
Scotland and their turbulent chieftains
of the north-what American school boy
has not recited:
stScotsa Wha hae WI Wallace bled,
Scots wham Bruce ha often led"
In all of this fighting Edinburgh cas-
tie was the center point and was the
emblem of Scottish sovereignty.

Leavenworth is badly IN need of a
catcher. It is probable that they viii
get Siegle of the Oklahoma City team
to catch for them. If they are not
successful in this attempt It is likely
that Harrington will be kept behind
the bat and Cole will be purchased.
Olson would then be recalled from
Oklahoma City and used as utility
man. He may be recalled anyhow.

Corbin has been the first Western as
ISOLATION player to join a major league
team. Corbin arrived in Pittsburg
four days ago and is awaiting a chance
to appear in q game. Edgar Willett of
Wichita has left for Detroit and will
be the second man from this brush to
appear in the big aggregations this
year.
Funny remark for Leavenworth to
make: AS an example of the Topeka
baseball spirit a crowd of small boys
began to pelt Outfielder Pettigrew of
the Hutchinson team with stones in
Sundays game Pettigrew kicked and
they laughed at him
Leavenworth Times: Frank Genins
manager Of the Hutchinson team, con-
cedes the pennant to Topeka. Mr..
Genins probably has occasion to do
nothing else since his team is in last
place. It is however, probable that
Joplin and Springfield will be little dis
concerted by the nberality of the
Hutchinson captain.

HOW THE TIGER KILLS..
Never Faces His Prey, but Attacks II
on the Flank.

on the Flank.
| have taken considerable trouble to
find out how tigers kill large game.
Some time ago l was asked to come
and see a full grown bullock that had
been killed by a tiger. On examining
1t I found the animal had its neck
broken, and there were claw marks
on the nose ard shoulder, but nowhere
else. There was no doubt that the
tiger had jumped at the bull and land
ed on the shoulder, and when the bull
turned his head to gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
a sudden jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion | went to see 81
young buffalo which had been killed b.:
a tiger and found the same thing had
happened. There were similar marks
on the nose and also on the near Shout
der, which clearly indicated that this
animal had been killed in the same
way. Malays who have actually seen
a tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen; also that
in dragging off a heavy carcass, such
as buffalo or bull, he gets most Of the
weight across his shoulder.
This must be fairly correct, as |
have often followed a kill, and the
marks left indicate that only a portion
of the animal was trailing along the
ground. 1 have known a full grown
bull, which ten men could not move,
dragged for two miles by a tiger in a
heavy jungle, where roots of trees and
swamp had to be gone through. In no
case have l seen the pug marks facing
the wrong way except when stopping
to feed, which proves he must carry a
portion Of the animal Over his Shout
der.
The old idea of a tiger killing large
game by a blow from his paw is non
sense; besides, in India a tiger never
faces his prey, but attacks him on the
flank unless charged. Another curious
fact that may seem very like a fairy
tale is that a tiger does not seem to
mind a small lamp being tied Over a
kill about ten feet high, but will come
and feed. l have known three occa-
sions when this has been tried, and
each time a tiger has come to feed
upon the carcass.-LondOn Field.
