The last Of April-that's about
the breathing spell between the

The following from the Boston
Herald explains itself: "Dennie
Sullivan made one of the most
brilliant catches ever witnessed
on the ball field, saving two runs
early IN the game. It was the
work OF great sprin ter, and
caused the Quakers to inq uire
where the young man came from.
With a man on the base Sey bold
m ct the ball on the mark and it
went shooting down the field be-
tween left and center to the mus
ic of 10000 hearty yells. Sulli-
van was streaking along close to
the ground with Hoey trailing.
The ball was hit SO hard that it
was carrying well, and Sulliyan
realized that there was only dy-
ing chance. He put on the last
ounce Of steam and timing the
ball to niceity, shot into the air
both ar ms extended to their full
length. He nailed the flying
missile. 1t was mastery drive
as the English cricketers would
say, and piece of fielding equel
to the work of a Curt Welsh
or Dickey Johnson, and the crowd
was not slow to show it's appre-
clrtlon ofthe great ball playing

SToNiNG A TIGER.
The Punishment of a Man Eater That
Killed a Tibetan.

Fifty years ago tigers were very
common even in the high hills oi
western Tibet, writes c. A. Sherring
H. his account of that country. Al
the present time, however, owing to
the increase of population and the
general spread of cultivation, they
have become rare, and the appearance
of a man eater who carried off a poor
old woman on the slope of Chipla
created CONSERVATION.
On the following day there were
gathered together a hundred grim
men, armed only with axes and stones,
for they had not gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave, for the
tiger was found asleep under a rock.
At orce each man dropped silently In
to the cover of the brushwood and pill
ed a heap of stones near to his hand,
while one of the most trusted of the
party was commissioned to stalk to
the top of the rock and drop a huge
stone on the sleeping brute.
So we'll was the work done that the
stone fell true on the tigers back, and
Immediately, with a roar, the wounded
beast sprang up and, seeing hfs enc
mics, who leaped from their cover,
charged the line.
But a hundred men, desperate as to
consequences, throwing stones with
might and main, are not to be awed or
