Cross, though. has been taking singing

jibes that the lanky, good-natured short

Several years ago. when the once famous

What Feazed Perrine.

When little Perrne first took the trip
west with the Nationals. Case Patten said
to him few hours before they were due
to take the boat to Cleveland:
#" hope. Perrine that you will not be
attacked by Nal de Mer while going over
the lake. for he Is terrible fellow to run
up against"
Il don't know this fellow Nal de Mer."
snorted the little tnfeder, "but IL he runs
up against me looking for a cinch he'll
have surprise party handed to him. for

he took a pull! at his braces. still l ain't
taking anything off Nal de Mer or any
other guy who might be looking for trouble -
On the trap over the lake Perrne became
terribly seasick and when Patten found
him leaning over the side of the boat he
went up to him and said:
We'll Mig, l see that old NAL de mer
has put it on you. just like he has done to
all us at one time or another.
What do you mean?' cried Perriue as
he glanced wildly about IL looking for
en- assailant in human shape"
why l see that you are sick" replied
Fatten, and NAL de mer Is the medical
term for sea sickness: but you will feel bet
ter just as soon as you get used to the
rolling and pitching"

of the vessel, don't feaze me so much. but

STRONG CONTENDER
FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW YORK, August 1O.-Quite a num-
Der of eastern men have been luling them
selves into a false security with the belief
that the University Of Michigan track team
of 1908 will be but a shadow of the 1907
aggregation which ran Pennsylvania so
close in the intercollegiate championships
Michigan's principal loss will be that of
Garrells. who scored thirteen points at
Cambridge, almost half that of MIchisan's
total. 1t IS true that Garrells is fireplace
able by any man, but Michigan has sew
eral stars In her freshman class who are
quite sure to score. One of these IS latter-
son. who holds the interscholastic record of
8olla in the high jump. Another Is
weight man, who has been putting the shot
close to As feet. Other Michigan stars who
will be missing next year are Ramey the
half-miler, and Stewart. the Splinter. But
as neither of this pair scored at the inter
colegiates they will not lie missed. Heath.
third in the broad jump, graduates this
year, but French. who was second in the
same event, has been retained, and with
Knox of Yale, graduated. the Wolverine
ought to be the favorite for first place next
wear Michigan still has Coe In the mile
run and Rowe and Bull in the two miles
so 1t can be seen that the westerners have
a SPLENDID nucleus with which to start
There Is no ground for the fear that
Michigan will not come east next spring
The Wolverines are In the Eastern Associa-
ton to stay.

How the Fair Fan Sized Up Hunter
Hill.

Hunter Hill, who played third base for
Washington few years back. was not
noted for any Apollo-like beauty Of counte-
nance and although he was In the main a
good-natured player, his appearance when
at the bat was fierce to say the least.
He was one of the best sacrifice htters
then in the big league. and for that reason
he was generally called upon to make a
sacrifice hit whenever 1t came his turn TO
WELD the willow
One day when Hunter was at the bat
with that grim look of determination over
spreading his expressive If not handsome
countenance, Jack Thoney, who was then
playing on the Washington club but who
now seems to have every big team man
ager in the country bidding for his services
was seated in the grand stand with a young
lady, having laid off from play this particu-
lar afternoon
Barry Mccormick was on first base, and
OF course. it was up to Hunter to sacrifce'
and so Thoney told his friend.
But what does sacrifice nlean?" incurred
the fair fan, with a bewldered look
1t means" explained Jack, that Hill
there at the bat will allow himself to be

kind-hearted, would your"
Thoney told Hunter about it that night
down at the hotel. and Hunter didn't laugh
himself into Mysteries over II all at once.
although the other members of the club en-
joyed the story hugely.

A Plucky Rescue.

This world is not always a selfish one,
and when the word went round ut Is only
stowaway'' the interest on the steamer
was redOubled even If the excitement
about temporarily missing friends was
qu.eted. So when the three negro
rowers. with their dripping companion,
clambered on the Morse's deck a great
cheer from the 1000 passengers greeted
them.
By this time fully an hour had elapsed
since the boat stopped to find the stow
away. and another boat had put off from
the work of rescue. If needed. But the
Morse steamed on again up the river. and
the young chap who had battled pluck
lily for his life was taken below and dried
out in the engine room.
Then on the hurricane deck Peter Worth,
the rotund young bookmaker, who was
robbed on the Brooklyn bridge by a pick
pocket of 5000 a few weeks ago, got up
and proposed a collection for the three
"Coons" who had manned the lifeboat. In
n short time S1S8 was contributed, and,
amid much good feeling. the recipients were
called UP and presented with the money
Not to be outdone. Judge Johnson OF

blacks saw that human life was at stake
and cOurageously went to the rescue of

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RARATOGA, August 1o-A young fellow
of twenty, James Robinson Of Glens Falls
n. Y. has been the hero OF Saratoga this
week In about as sensational and exciting
an incident as ever occurred on that great
highway of travel that extends up mere
from Gotham-the Hudson river.
Last Sunday evening when the three-deck
steamer C. w Morse left her moorings at
the foot OF Canal street. New York. bound
for Albany. she was crowded to the guards
with excurs!onists-most Of whom were
bound for Saratoga. Mirth and jollity pre-
vailed on every side. except for three young
chaps. evidently country boys. who were
located as stowaways IN the coal Din "nen
the boat had reached the West Point High
lands about fifty miles up the river.
Brought on deck they were being exam
!ned by the purser, when in some way one
of them. who was leaning against the rail.
fell overheard, shouting for help as he
struck the water. His cries were seconded
by others. but by the time that the steamer
was stopped the man was far behind and
out OF sight in the black water.
a boat was at once lowered and three
of the steamers walters manned her and
pulled back to where they thought the man
would be- The steamers great search
light was also reversed and swept over the
water in the effort to locate the unfortu-
nate stowaway.
Once his head was seen. but lost again.
and the small boat was just about to turn
back and abandon him to his fate when the
rays of the searchlight showed the SWIM
!ner within thirty feet of the boat. In
three desperate strokes he was grasping
the boats gunwale.
Back to the steamer with the rescued the
three rescuers received an ovation when
they reached the Morse, which had been
in confusion of excitement ever since the
cry Man overheard" rang through the still
night and was echoed across to the noun
tains of West Point. Sweethearts who
missed each other were hunting franticaly
all over the boat and all the poker parties
Were broken UP.

young stowaway tramp who had so nearly
met watery grave He at once paid the
fares" of himself and two companion stow
Always. and at Albany invested in some
clothes.
Then young Robinson, on his way to
Glens Falls. stopped of here and put in
an afternoon at the race course. He went in
the field. and when the second race came
along Fair Play gave him "hunch." al
though he had not intended to bet But
he certainly had met with fair play on the
steamer. so he bet $25 on the Belmont colt
at 10 l and cashed
That put him In the seventh heaven of
delight, but the end was not yet He saw
the name OF Running Water in the next
race, and this acted as even a stronger
"hunch' than Fair Play So he gan1ely
put UP his 800 on the stable entry CMc-
Carter and Running Water against $3.50
and cashed again Then he took a hack to
town to catch the first train for Glens
Falls.
Pretty lucky for a pennless stowaway
who by narrowly escaping death in the
river realized S445 from his sympathetic
friends on the steamer and his subsequent
successful lunches at the race course
And yet some people say there is no such
thing in this world as luck.
