WONDERFUL BALL
California College Students Recall the
Time Cub Twirler Led Berkeley,
While Chase Played at

Just at present Orvie overall and
Christy Mathewson are startling the
National league fans with their brilliant
work in the box. 1t is an instance Oh
recognized diamond wizard returned 10

newcomer who may prove as great.
Overall has been named big Jer by
the Chicago fanJ because of MS gl-
gantic physioue. There is no telling

other victory over the Trolley Dodgers.
Then came two games won from Fhila-
deInhia. Boston also went down pc
fore OWE. Cincinnati succumber twice,
New York once and St. Louis once. An
eleven-inning tie with the st. Louis
team was also sandwiched in.

Berkeley's baseball star. His strength
made him impervious to the. wear and
tear of athletics and the Berkeley team
was feared on all sides.
An interesting. feature of Overall's
Berkeley career lies In the TACT that
Hal Chase was attending Santa Clara

SpeCldl " L lie I1GIdiu
VENICE. May 1S.-Stirred by the
awful realization that Sundays drown
ing tragedy here might have been
averted had adequate lifesaving ap-
paratus been available anywhere along
the ocean front the people of the whole
Santa Monica bay section have taken
up in a determined manner the matter
of installing without further delay an
up to date lifesaving service.
To that end subscriptions amounting
to several thousand dollars, received
at local banks during the past two
days, will, with other funds now in
hand be used for the purchase of life
boats to be stationed at central points
along the beach. From the young men
best qualified for the work, from Santa
Monica Ocean Park, Venice and Playa
del Rey, lifesaving corps will be
formed, the members of the service
stations to receive regular drilling and
instructions in all that pertains to
rescue work and resuscitation, from
experienced teachers.
Already the Abbot Kinney company
has arranged for the construction of
life craft of an improved pattern,
consisting of alright compartments,
which will be moored ready for in
stant use in the shelter of the break
water. OHuer the auspices or the
local volunteer fire department a spe-
cial program will be put on at the
Venice shifting rink next Wednesday
evening, when the gate receipts will
be given the firemen to purchase a
mortar with.
1t is the intention of the volunteers
to buy gun that will shoot a line not
less than 1000 feet and that will be
easily accessible on the sounding of
an alarm form any point along the
front. The management of the Ocean
Park bath house has announced it's
plan to install a service of it's own,
which will include two lifeboats and
all modern rescue facilities.

LORDS BUY PRAIRIE DOGS
FOR SHOOTING PRESERVES
Special to The Herald.

HURON, S. D., May 1S.-Two thou
sand prairie dogs at SO each have been
contracted for by English lords who
have exterminated the rabbits and
hares on the shooting preserves in
England and are languishing for sport.
1t is believed the English noblemen
have bucked up against another
Yankee game and that the character
of the prairie dogs has been misrepre-
sented to them. The animals are the
size of overgrown rats, live in COM
munities or "towns" and their holes
are connected with outlets every rod
or two. They are spry enough to
arouse the sporting blood of the Brit
ish, but when wounded drop into their
holes or If dead their fellows quickly
drag them in. 1t is mere pot hunting
to shoot them, but to entrap 1000 of
them will afford nice problem for the
venders.

Up to the time of the allies taking
Paris the ordinary watch was convex

cause its dubious form made the uni

that the watchmakers of the Palais

SAD CASE OF MRS. BERENDS
Mind Unbalanced, She Is Sent to the
Asylum.
From MONDAYS Daily

Mrs. Elizabeth Berends, whose hus-
band last week published a notice that
he would no longer be responsible for
her bills, was taken in charge of last
evening by the police. She wandered
on the streets, and entered a neigh
boris house, and thought that it was
her own and refused to leave. Early
this afternoon she was examined as to
her sanity and was ordered commit
ted to the state insane asylum at
st. Peter.
Mrs. Berends' trouble began to man
|ifest itself about Sept. LIST, although
even as a child she had strange spells.
and at times later in life looked up
on as being odd. Her mental weak
ness seems to be due to religious con-
temptation, but it manifests itself by
her refusing to get meals for her hus-
band and hiding things belonging to
him. He is a carpenter. They have
had three children, but only one, a
girl of two years and seven months,
survives. A sad feature of the case
was the fact that the mother had
to be parted from this little girl
this afternoon, but Mrs. Berends'
mother will take care of the little one
and furnish it a good home.
