Eagle Kite Fooled kInoa.her..

Seven boys entered their miniature

test. open TO children OF the public
and parochiai schools. which took
place the other afternoon In Gcncsscc
Valley park.
Interest was lent TO the contest by
an odd incident. showing that the
birds OF the air may be fooled by the
clcycrrcss Of man. AlinE Brown had
kite made In imitation OF an Amer
lean eagle. and when IL spread its
wings to the breeze and rode away
into the air It looked like n real king
OF the air."
Indeed. so perfect was the imi,a.
tion that as the beautiful kite scared
over one OF the trees In the park In
rising. two large kinEfishcrs saw the
strange fowl. and. uttcring their shriIl
cry OF battle. left the tree and follow.
cd the kite high into the air. They
wheeled and circicd around their new
enemy. but such was their awe OF
the majestic bird they did not venture
to push hostilities to the actual point
of contact. This eagle kite took the

Terrors were engaged In a baseball
duel TO the death. IL Was the last half
of the eighth inning. The score stood
fiye To four In favor Of the Mudlarks.

working havoc with the hopes OF the
Terrors.
The Terrors Were at bat. A man
passed 10 first. an error. and they nad
a runner at third. Jimmie Jones set
tied down TO pitch. and struck the next
two batiers out. A run would tie the
score. Grimiy the Mudiarks settled To
the task OF shutting out the Terrors.
Tense excitement reigned. Jimmie
Jones stood. serene and strong as an
adamant wall. and the best batter Of
the Terrors approached the batter's
box.
A Mudiark rootcr's thin and strained
voice arose: Tree twisters and a fan

Deliberately Jimmie Jones twiried
the ball In his fingers preparatory To
speeding through deceptive shoot.
The base-runner at third danced for
ward and back again. ready to take
desperate chances to tie the score.

deck fixtures washed away and her flag
az half mast, as the result Of the killing
OF James Walker and the injury of a half
dozen other seamen when a mammoth
wave struck the liner last Friday. All Of
the passengers on board were badly fright
ened, and were glad to get ashore. as
they had been compelled TO remain below
decks for several days on account Of the
stormy weather encountered.
The Etruria had experienced severe
weather for several days. and was plough
ing along last Friday in a heavy sea.
with the wind blowing very strong from
the northwest, when a huge wall of water
bore down on the ship. Warnings were
shouted TO all hands and the sailors on
deck rushed for places of safety. The
giant wave broke over the vessel with
terrific force. carrying away stanchiCns
and deck fixtures

ing badly injured.
The big liner shook from stem to stern
with the force Of the impact. and the pas
scngers We're tossed about in a most uu-
manner. Some Of them were
inclined to set hysterical, but all were
reassUred by the stewards The bad
weather continued until yesterday morn
ing, when the skies cleared and the high
seas sUbsided.
Seaman William Newell was taken
from the vessel tonight to ST Vincents
Hospital, where it is said that he will
probably die. The others hurt will re-

While the storm was at its height a girl
was born i'm the steerage. The mother
is Mrs. Jacob Goldstein. and after coll
lection amounting to $50 had been taken
up among the cabin passengers the baby
was christened Rachel Etruria Goldstein
