Jimmie Ryan: q was member of the Chicago team that took trip around the world in 1888. I remember when we got to Essex. in England, there were about 5000 persons on the cricket field of that town, and among them some of the most famous men at the wickets England had produced. The question of throwing came up and the Englishm. laughed when 1t was stated the great distances that Will Hanson and Crane had thrown base balls. "A mere trifie.' said one of them. A baseball is as feather to a cricket ball, and your Yankees couldn't hope to compete with us in throwing the crick- ct ball. What Is the worlds record for throw wing the cricket ballg One hundred and fourteen yards was the reply. Then the distance was marked off by a surveyor and Crane took the ball in hand while fully 5000 persons stood around. Crane walked up to the line ard with the greatest apparent ease threw the ball far over the heads of the persons standing in the back of the ground. sending it something like 12s f-2 yards. To say that the English present were dumbfounded Is putting 1t light. and then imagine their sur

 Graham, the Shreveport south paw. whom McAfeer bought. will in my opin- ion bc a star but I am not prepared to say that he is going to be successful next season. He is not . hard man to handle. but he requires steady and clever catcher to bring forth his best efforts. Keith. the Little Rock twirl- CT, is good man.

I believe that ball player, who plays in the South one or two years, Is at big disad- vantage in either major league.

LOST THREE NIGHTS IN WOODS.
Girl Probably Owes Life to Presence
of Mind

After wandering without food drink
nights Miss Nellie Johnson of Eau
Claire was found by a searching party.
She was eight miles from her boarding
place. The searchers were guided by
trail of garments left by the young
woman after she found thaS she was
helpless to return without aid. This
is the second time this spring that
Miss Johnson has been lost in the
woods, but her former experience
only lasted six hours.
Miss Johnson is teaching school
thirteen miles east of the village of
Winter. Sunday afternoon she started
to look for wild flowers. When it be-
gan to grow dark she attempted to re-
turn home, but after walking for some
time she found she could not tell
which direction to take. She finally
made a rude shelter of boughs and
shrubbery, in which she slept until it
grew light enough for her to see her
way.
All day Monday she wandered here
and there, trying to find some way out
of the woods All day she went with
out food and drink, and when night
came she was no nearer safety than
before. Once more she made rude
wigwam of boughs and leaves, and in
this way she passed her second night
in the woods.
Early the next day she removed her
Jacket and hung it in a conspicuous
place on a tree, in order to show any
body who might pass that way looking
for her that he was on the right track.
After a third night spent in an impro-
vised shelter, she continued removing
portions of her outer clothing and
hanging them up where, they would be
sure to attract attention. Toward
night again she found herself in the
midst of deserted lmuber camp.
Here she found the best shelter she
had had and she decided to stay there
all night. And it was there that the
party of searchers, guided by the
clothing hung at intervals through the
woods, found her, exhausted, but in far
better spirits than could have been ex-
pected.
She has now recovered from the eff
fects of her adventure.-W.
