In the eighth inning he put Jake

theoretically correct, for the ball player

Stahl had had the forbearance to re-

for this world. Washington was two

'Erratic" Explains EN-.

The explanation is TO be found in the
erratic doings Of the Nationals You
never know when they are coming to
life and do something The team is not
especially wei balanced anyway you
look AT IL. and anything II does is taken
a S matter of course. Men who could
not bat enough last year to keep them
the FIRE just now. while the supposedly
heavy hitters are striking out two or
three times and then landing for a
swat that starts big doings.
This lack of consistency makes the
team interesting and a big drawing
card on the road. but IS very trying en-
the nerves. Strealls OF most doleful and
dismal work are succeeded in the same
game by daring deeds which start the
usual chorus Of "reminiscences from
aged sports who declare there are no
real bah players in these degenerate
days.

was as big as his body, even though
his purse was empty, cheated as he
was out of the fruits of his labor The
love of Noah Vale for the little boy
whom he befriends is the tender and
pathetic feature of the play, enliven-
ed as it is by the humorous incidents
characterizing the scenes between the
two. OF these situations the most
amusing is that in which Noah Vale
deposits the boy in an empty barrel
and removes the lads trousers in or

without shocking the little fellows

tators either. The story of the dra-
ma, dealing with the theft by the vii

absorbingly told. Romance is wo-
ven into the tale, which ends happily
with the ultimate recovery of the
stolen goods and the final triumph
of Noah Vale, who realizes the good
fortune his own brains and inventive
genius have earned and who wins the
girl he loves.

Boy Steals Baby Lions.

The mystery surrounding the theft
of two baby lions from the kindergarten
at Paragon park, Boston, was cleared
away when a member of the summer
colony at Point Allerton called at the
year-old son, who had become imbued
with the idea that he must become a
lion tanner, had stolen the animals and
kept them unknown to his parents in
a shed. When one of the lions died
as result of being overfed, he con-
fessed his theft to his mother. The
father offered to reimburse the kim
dergarten for any reasonable amount
on consideration that his son should
not be prosecuted. He paid S175.

THOMPSON WHIPPED OUT A REVOLVER.
desey, a beautiful niece of Judge
Emory, seventeen years old, and it is
said she had asked her uncle to for
bid the house to her sutton, who is
insanely jealous of her. Thompson
telephoned asking if Miss Whittlesey
was at home. Judge Emory answered
that she was not and added that
Thompson would not be welcome
there.
Soon the young man, without a hat
or coat, rang the front door bell
Judge Emory answered 1t.
Il want to see Charlotte" cried the
visitor, making as if to enter.
"She is not here; you cannot see
her." said the judge, extending his
arm to bar Thompsons entrance.
Thompson whipped out revolver.
The first shot struck Judge Emory in
the hip. the second pierced his left
lung, the third wounded Mrs. Keith
who was visiting the Emorys. As
Judge Emory fell Thompson sprans
over his body and ran upstairs, search
ing for Miss Whittlesey, who, in truth.
was not at home.
But the desperate Thompson found

took them in bedroom, pushed the
bedstead against the door and when
the police demanded his surrender held
them at bay for several hours by
threatening to kill both children if an
attempt was made to take him. Final
ly 1hompson's father arrived and per-
suaded him to give himself up.
Thompson went to kill Miss Whit
tlesey, it is believed, for she rejected
his proposal of marriage recently. He
swears he meant only to kill himself
if she repulsed him again. He says
he knows she loves him, but is in
fuenced by her uncle against him.
Thompson declares Judge Emory was
about to strike him and he shot in self
defense.
