May Use Big Boats for Transports.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, d. c.. March g.
Should affairs in China reach a crisis
it is regarded as likely that the gov
eminent will charter a number of the
big vessels now employed in the Pa
cific trade. The mammoth steamships
Dakota and Minnesota would probably
be the first boats taken over by the
government. There is no secret that
the War Department is making prep
arations for transport and other ser.
vice in the event of trouble in China
and should there be an outbreak there
is no doubt that a large number of
vessels, including some of the largest
craft on the Pacific, would be char
tered for the transport of troops and
supplies in the same manner that the
Atlantic liners were brought into use
in the Spanish-American conflict

FISH STORY FROM LONDON
One Which Will Make Local Hot Air
Club Sit Up and Take
Notice.

Here is a fish story from London which
will make members of the local Hot Air
club go some to beat
"A remarkable example of the voracity
of a trout accompanied by fatal results,
has just come to light. A young man en-
ployed at Mr. Sargont's mill at Upton, St.
Johns, on the River Otter noticed a fine
trout lying dead in the mill leat He got
the fish out, and was astonished to find
that tightly twisted in the most extraor-
binary fashion into the trout's gills was
an eel. which had undoubtedly strangled
its captor. But this was not all. Firmly
stuck in the mouth of the eel was little
fish. probably a stickleback which, being
too large for the eel to swallow, had
caused its death also.
All three fishes were very recently dead,
and il was quite clear that the eel which
was a foot long, had attempted to swal-
low the stickleback but had only sue
ceeded III getting its head far enough
down to choke itself. The trout no doubt,
seeing the cells difficulty, had attacked it,
and attempted to swallow it, with the re-
suit that his slippery. writhing victim had
managed to choke him by entangling it,
self up in a wonderful way In it's captor's
gills Thus the little stickleback choketl
the EEL which in its turn strangled the
trout.

THE HERALD'S SPORTING PAGE
HOLDEN WINS
At CLEVELAND
Local Golfer Captures Cup in
Bogey Handicap on CIeve-
land Links.

Golfing enthusiasts of Salt Lake have
overlooked the fact that in A. F. Holden
of This city. they have a golf player who
can go some with a mashie and cleek.
1t took the members of the Country club
Of Cleveland TO make the discovery. In a
game played there last week Holden was
the whole show, as appears from the fol-
lowing from a Cleveland paper:
Returning to the great Scottish game
after an absence of three years, and play
ing steady, consistent, yet brilliant
game, A. f. Holden carried off first
place and the cup in the regular weekly
hogey handicap tournament upon the
links of the Country club yesterday. Ow-
ing to the length of time in which he has
not played golf it was not thought that
Holden stood any show of finishing with
a low score. His play throughout the
day, however, was steady, and showed
that he had by no means forgotten the
fine points of the game. He went out
with score of 46 and came in in a.
having total of Sc for the days play
His driving was straight and hard, while
IN nearly all cases his putting was very
accurate. Throughout the day he was
able, with few exceptions, to put the ball
on the green with a single stroke, and
had IT not been for a little hard luck on
his third and sixth holes he would have
been able to turn in much lower score.

In the papers the other day there was
story OF how player named Marshall,
on the New forks, got kissed by a girl
because he made a two-bagger in the
ninth inning that sent in two runs and
won the game. Now, IN Fuloprunes that
bet would have been worth ten kisses.
We got to Fuloprunes under the guild
snce of Squeeze our boy, after the Bum
6ledale people tried to lynch US Tor beat
ing them with four men, and when he
had explained the circumstances we were
more than welcome. There wasn't any
love LOST between the two towns, for
ball playing, still the Fuloprunes were
about as bad, and they used to nave great
battles
We were asked to stay over in Fulo-
prunes and give them an exhibition of how
we played ball-shOw off the rubber EARNED
shortstOp, and Pinch, and the leather
handed ketcher, and ME. We stayed. Aid
after supper that night they began to tell
US what hard work they had to get good
nine.
Were pretty good on fielding" says
old Tom Turner, who was a judge and
manager of the nine, but We can't hit All
in the taverns round town. but that don't
set US nothing when we need hit to win
the game. We've ried all ways to i'm
prove. We offered shoes and new suits
home runs. and all that, but mighty few
of them were ever taken. we Offered
money prizes. and that didn't do no good.
We offered prizes of bottles of Ticker, and
that helped some, but not enough. Then
we hit on the kissing game.
The kissing camel? says Pinch. what
might that be?'
bIushing young maidens reward the Teller
that sWats the ball. If he makes plain
wO-bagger he gets ten kisses. If he gets
it with the bases full It's twenty Kisses.
Then if he gets a triple, it's fifty. kisses;
hos
three on bases it's 150"
"A hundred and fifty kisses" says
Pinch. while the rest OF us stood hardly
breathing. What does he do with EN-?
Where do you get en-?
'WaitI' saws the Judge IF a player
makes home run-which amt been done
since we started this thing-its 800 lus-
cious smacks. If it's with three on bases
and wins the game ne sets tiou i anu
Now that's going some in the reward line,
amt it?''
Good night" says l, I'm goin' home.
The woman amt livin' that I'd let kiss
me thousand times"
"Oh, one woman don't do 1t. says the
Judge It'd be too hard on pretty
girl to expect her to kiss sWeaty, sand
covered ball player thousand times. We
work it in relayS-ten girls take turns and
hand out a hundred yum yums apiece.
That adds variety, too, and the players
like it better. We've had several doubles
and triples since we started this. l think
it'll be a success.
TT may be beautiful for the town o.
Fuloprunes," says l, but it don't make
any hit with me. I'm going home
They wouldn't hear of that, SO l stayed,
and during the evening they got word
that the Slammitville nine was coming
up the next day to try to take ball
home. and the Judge arranged with Pinch
without my kn1wng anything about IT,
that us four would play in the Fuloprunes
nine and try to nand the Slammityilles
lemon instead OF a ball.

Alas. I seen a nice low ball coming in

to the right of second, base on a line. l
Hoped for first and seen the center fielder
make a gallant dash for it, dive forward
