HUNTING IN KENTUCKY.
Dangers to BE Encountered In the
Blue Grass state.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
When you want hunting. don't 90 to
Kentucky said A. c. Burt at the Hotel
Pfster. "A friend OF mine who lives IN
Cincinnati had an experience while on a
hunting expedition in that State which
led him to swear OF going South OF Ma
son and Dixon's line when he is looking
for game. He had arranged a hunting
trip up in the eastern part Of Kentucky.
and as game was reported thick. antici-
pated fine time The anticipatlons were
all right, but the realization was some
thing much different from what he had
counted on. Illicit distilling was In full
flower at that time, and every one not
well known was suspected OF being dep
uty marshal. My friend did not know
anything Of this, or, If he had heard Of
H. had paid no attention to the informa-
tion. One morning he started out with
his gun and wandered up the hills. He
had fairly good luck and was looking
for good place to eat his lunch and
take rest when some one said sharplv
Throw up your hands and drop that
gun Startled, he turned around to find
himself face TO face with the muzzIe OF
a long rifle. back Of which was a swarthy
face Drop that gun quick or I'll drop
ye, came second command This time
the hands went up quickly and the gun
was dropped. A second man burst
through the brush and gathered In the
gun. Then he seized my friend by the
arms and in a few minutes he was neatly
trussed up and being hustled through the
brush down a ravine. From words drop
ped by his captors. he discovered he was
believed 10 be a revenue agent or dep
uty marshal and = was question be-
tween the two men whether to shoot him
there and have done with Il or take him
farther on up the ravine. His hair rails
ed on his head as he heard the men coolly
discussing his killing with as little COM
junction as though he had been a hog
or beef. At last he got his voice and
broke In with protestations that they had
made a mistake. He assured them he
was not a government agent Of any sort,
but hunter from Cincinnati who had
come down there for a few days sport.
At last he managed TO create in the mind
of one Of the men an impression that pos
sibly he might be telling the truth. See
ing this. he renewed his protestations and
gave them the names Of persons with
whom he had been stopping and others
who knew him. He begged his captors
to send 10 them and see II he was not
telling the truth. Finally they consented
to do this He was tied up to a tree
while the men went of. After hours Of
waiting they returned and with many
apologies released him. He accepted the
apologies, and after a drink of moon
shine from a flask produced by one Of
the men they took him out on the road
and directed him as 10 the shortest way
to the village where he had made his
headquarters. His gun. too. was returned
10 him. He took the first train out Of
the place and on his return said that
when II came to hunting he could get all
he wanted north OF the Ohio River, and
lie has stuck to this"

won $3.50 The most valuable race he
ever won was the Carter Handicap. worth
5000, which goes 70 show what a lot OF
races he had to win to attain the high
mark he now holds as a money winner.
Among his best wins are the Claremont
and Manhattan stakes. the Toboggan.
Fall, and Bay View handicaps. and Flight
and Sterling stakes. HIS record in the
Carter Handicap is notable, he starting
in that race three seasons. winning II In
1906 getting second money in 1906 and
third money in 1907. As a two-year-old

The championship round Of the women s

One OF the surprises OF the day was
the defeat of Mrs. Barger Wallach and
Beals c. Wright. a former national cham

victory OF the latter pair was very easy,
both sets ending In their favor 6-3 Mrs

Return of the NntionnI..

Having proven signally disappointing
in their work on hostile fields, the Ma
tiouals return to their own lair Thurs
day, for stay OF nearly a month.
There is little to say of the perform
ances Of the team while on the road.
Leaving here within striking distance of
the leaders, and with the confidence Of
the Washington baseball public. the team
experienced probably the worst slump
ever suffered by local club, and is now
in last place While the latter part OF
the trip has been more successful than
the former. there has been little improve
ment in the work. and the only hope
seems TO be that playing before friendly
crowds will bring about brace
The most redeeming feature Of the trip
has been that in few Of the games have
the Nationals been routed. Nearly every
day they have given their opponents the
hardest sort Of battles. being beaten out
in half the games by a lone run. While
the cry OF hard luck is generally poor
defense for a tail-end team. fair-minded
critics must concede that the Nationals
have had little good fortune since leav-

certainly figured prominently in good

defeats for Cantlllon's men.

If the pitchers can continue to pitch in

More favorable surroundings may bring
about an improvement in batting. and If
the club can continue to put up as stiff
defense as it has since going away, II
should be able to win fair proportion Of
games at home.

Berlin is organized for eating and
drinking and so are the Berliners or
ganiZed for 1t. Scattered all over the
city are enormous places where food is
served-wine halls. where only wines are
served. and beer halls. which deal in
beer alone. some Of them most respec-

is the rule that it is perfectly proper 10
take your mother or your wife or your
sister to beer hall or wine hall that is
frequented by the officers Of the army.
They go only to the proper ones-publicly.
The etiquette OF these places is most
formal. II he hall is crowded and tables
are scarce, before you sit down you
draw your heels together and make a
military bow 10 everybody sitting at the
table you select. Then also. you raise
your glass or stein 10 those at the table
when your refreshment is served. On
leaving you bow all around again. Or
the other people at the table bow. II they
leave before you do. The American way
OF asking the others at the table for
permission to sit down is not ceremonious
enough for the Germans. who are the

manager Of the New York American club
removed one Of the most conspicuous fig
ures in baseball.
Disappointed beyond belief at the fail

been spent in order TO give New York
a pennant. Griffith showed his real caliber
when he voluntarily retired. For the first
time in his diamond career extending
over nearly score Of years. Griffith quit.

that It would be an injustice 20 his en-

Griffith was the last man to leave the
