THE DIAMOND
TALES THAT WE LIKE TO HEAR
A Great Batting Rally in Which George Lachance Was Much
 Interested.

Nashville, Inn. April 3-Nap Ruck- CT scored another shutout yesterday holding Nashville without run for eight innings, rain preventing a ninth inning. The Brooklyn south paw did not have all the pitching honors, however, as Dugan and Bern hard of Nashville both performed cred itably, one run in the eighth round being the extent of Brooklyn's SCOT ing.
 Dugan pitched the first five innings, and as he has been playing in Florida for two months he was in rare form and held the Brooklyns to three hits. Manager Bernhard, the ex-Oleveland star, finished out the game and showed that he has not forgotten the art of scientific pitching Although the only run of the game was scored off Bernhard luck figured in the re- suit, ground hit by Burch being de- fected enough by the pitcher to pre- vent the shortstop from fielding the hit In time to get his man. A sacr- flee and safe hit by Hummel put Burch across the plate.
 Brooklyn had men on second and third in the opening round, with only one out, but could not score. Again in the fourth Burch was on third as a result of his two base hit and a sacrifice by Jordon, but was an easy out on an attempted squeeze play. Alperman missed the ball and Burch was run down. Nashville had men on bases in every inning except the fifth, but the necessary hit was not forth coming. The score:

 ''I believe l have not had a square deal. The referee when I met Frank Gotch in Chicago did not seem to see the way in which Gotch was wrest. ling. had no one behind me to look after my interests.
 "You can see for yourself" said the Lion, turning the left side of his face and eye. badly disfigured.
 That scratching should not be al- lowed in a wrestling match. Goteh kept digging his thumb into my eyes the side of my face and the left ear His finger nails were long and did great damage. Some Americans at the ring side cried Shame

Hunting the Maribou.

Hunting the marabou is attended
with great difficulty, as the bird pos
sesses wonderful cunning and often
contrives to outwit the most sllfllful
hunter. With laughable dignity 1t
measures the ground between itself
and it's pursuer and takes very good
care rot to exhaust itself by too rapid
flight If the hunter moves slowly the
bird at once adopts an equally easy
pace, but If the hunter quicllens his
steps the bird is off like an arrow. 1t
is very difficult to get within gun
range of this calculating creature, but
the natives adopt a novel means of
capturing it. which the birS, with all
Its astuteness, is unable to compre-
bend and falls an easy victim. A
tempting morsel of meat is tied to the
end of long stout cord, which the
skillful hunter filings to a great dis
lance, as he would lasso, the bait
falling as near the fleeing bird as he
can aim it, He then conceals himself
hastily behind bush or crouches low
on the sand. The marabou, which al
ways keeps its eye on the hunter, see
ing him vanish, quietly stops and de-
YOURS the bait, when it is easily Sc
cured by the hunter, who runs toward
1t, coiling the rope as he goes.
