YOUNG PROMOTER TO BE GIVEN
A TESTIMONIAL
Best Teams in MidWinter League Are
Slated as Contestants in Benefit
for Man with Promotorial
Ability

Two Of the best teams of the midwinter
baseball league will perform for the special
benefit of Daniel Goliath Beelzebub Perkins
at Joy paris week from today, and for one
Sunday since his debut into the charmed cir
Gle Of baseball maggots, all Red will have to
do is to cast the smile of his frecNed counte-
nance upon the crowded bleacherS ana pro-
claim joyfully "Oi, OF. OIL"
The praise meeting comes as the long de-
layed and much deserved reward to the young
promoter for his services in bringing the anna
tour baseball talent of literally the whole of
Southern California into close and strong Or
genlzation, under which the abilities of every
nine and each player may be quickly recog-
nized and duly credited
Inheralded and unsung Perkins sprang from
the ranks of the newspaper boys and unin-
srired entered the work for which he has dis
played such proves. AS the result of his
self assumed labor more than six baseball
leagues are working with the perfection of
united strength and every diamond aspirant
in this part of the state has been given the
opportunity to show his ability
Besides performing these tasks in the horse
hide world Red has maintained his business as
a salesman OF the daily News and has made
comfortable living for himself and those
who depend on him by this means.
Nothing more substantial than the thanks Of
those who benefited by his labors has ever
been received by the youthful discoverer of
Hans Wagner and whatever reaches his cof-
fers from the planned diamond matinee will
not half repay him for his efforts. So let the
fans turn out and show how much they ap-
preciate the coming Hen Berry of this city.
II will only cost couple of bits throw, and
the game alone will be worth that

MIRACLE DEVELOPS IN
ORDINARY POKER GAME
Planter Drops $4,000 in Unfortunate
Discard, from Which Remarkable
Complications Result, with
Disaster for Player

'I have read your poker stories, es-
pecially those emanating from old Green
hut's saloon at Arkansas City," says
correspondent of the New York Sun.
''but l have never yet been introduced
to any episode which In respect of the
wonderful and grotesaue compared with
the actual, authenticated facts of the
game in which the late Duncan f. Ken
ner of Louisiana lost more than $4,000
on a single hand and under circum-
stances which forbade absolutely the
suspicion of foul play.
Duncan f. Kenner was one of the
wealthiest slave owners and sugar plant
ers in his then opulent state He fancied
horses and among other diversions raced
them. He owned the great Lecompte
who beat Lexington on the old Metarie
track in New Orleans for a bet of $4,000
at four miles. Lexington subsequently
beat Lecomptes time for a similar purs
on the same track. This, however, is
ancient history and ! refer to it only to
identify the hero-or victim-of my story.
In those days-the later SOS of the last
century--the big rich planters used to
meet In New Orleans every winter, spend
some weeks and much money at the
opera, socially and otherwise, and then
dispense to their homes at the close OF
the social season. 1t was upon the
occasion of one of these homegoingS by
a number of the wealthy planters IF the
Upper Coast that Mr.. Kenner encoun-
tered the astonishing experience L wish
to relate The trip from New Orleans
to Donaldsville was about 100 miles by
the river and the big planters of Assem-
sion, Plaquemine, St Charles and Baton
Rouge were used to while away the l4me
by playing poker. There was no limit
save the conscience of the individual.
The straight flush was unknown. -Four
aces were invincible, and the players
were friends of long standing and inti-
mate acquaintance. The thought of dis
honesty or fraud was quite impossible
On the occasion / have in mind the play
was unusually high, even for the wealthy
spendthrifts gathered at the board And
Mr.. Kenner. a pretty gay old sport in
his time, picked up a hand that disclosed
four kings and one ace. 1t could not be
beaten, but the bets were running high
and it occurred to him to fool them by
discarding his ace, drawing one card and
betting away up in the sky. He did It,
But a gentleman on the other side of the
table who held three aces at the start
and who had to be helped from the dis
card-there were eight players in the
game--happened to draw Mr.. Kenner's
rejected ace and beat him, as / have
already indicated, for the sum of $4,000
all told.
II know that this story has been told
in various forms by various chroniclers.
But here / give you the real facts of the
case, The game was played in 1857 or
1858 and Mr.. Kenner himself told me the
whole story in New Orleans moro than
a quarter of a century later.
"He never touched a card at poker
after that. AS he said to me: I want
nothing to do with game in which such
a miracle can happen.

MOTHER SPANIEL SHOWS
HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

SPOKANE, Jan. 4.-That a dog at times
possesses something akin to human in
telligenee was shown this week by a
Chesapeake spaniel owned by DIR. Willard
o. Dutton, which dug a grave and buried
four of her offspring in a garden, after
she had used every effort to restore them
to life
Charles C. Rowell of $40 South Walnut
street, at whose home the incident took
place and who vouches for the story, says
he cannot be enrolled as member of the
Ananias club. for it is no nature fake
Coon after the dog gave birth to four
handsome puppies they all died. The
animal pulled them close to her that she
might restore warmth to their bodies and
turned them over and over in an attempt
to revive them. For several hours she
labored over the pups in vain endeavor
to bring them back to life.
After piteously whining for a time she
went to the garden and with her paws
dug a deep hole One by one she then
carried out the dead pups and placed
them in the grave She covered them
with the earth and left the grave and
has remained away from the spot ever
since.
