POLYTECHNIC GIRLS
WIN BASEBALL GAME
Fourteenth Street School Team Puts
Up Hard Fight, but Loses Con-
test by One-sided Score
of as to Fl

The girls from the Polytechnic high.
school baseball team yesterday after
noon defeated the maidens from the
Fourteenth street school In one OF the
most one-sided baseball scores ever
made by the Washington street play
ers, and after the sun went down the
score book read: Poly, as; Fourteenth,
81. Miss Mary Browne proved to be the
star player of the winners, having -FOUR
home runs chalked up to her credit.
Miss Grace Carpenter, also for the wins
ners, sent the big sphela out Tor a
home run in the early part of the game
besides a three-bagger and single.
Ruth Browne, sister to Mary Browne
not to be outdone by her big sister,
walloped the ball out for home run
and also a three-bagger.
Miss Grace Hardin shared honors In
the home run column by sending the
ball out to deep center, and circled the
bases for a homer. Miss Scott, catcher
for the Poly aggregation, while Siding
to first base in the last of the fourth
inning received a painful bruise on the
left arm, and Miss Browne went behind
the bat, Miss Grace Hardin taking her
position on the mound. Miss Scott in
the first of the fifth inning was able
to circle the different stations by the
home run route.
In the first of the sixth inning, with
MISS mary browne at pat ana nun
Browne on third, the former tried hard
TO make squeeze play to bring her
sister home, but failed to catch the
signal, and as a result Ruth died at the
home plate. You knew I was going
to squeeze that down your way so that
you could come home" said Mary to
her sister on the side lines. How care
less of you not to take the cue" The
girls of the Fourteenth street school,
although smaller than their opponents,
put up a hard fight to overcome the
score, but to no avail, as the Poly girls
were out to win. Miss Minnie Tieval
and Miss Lille Capasso were in the
points during all the stages of the game,
but lost through the numerous errors
made by their fielders Umpire Price
of the boys baseball team, who acted
in conjunction with Edward Dietrich
as umpire, was nearly mobbed by the
players of his team for alleged rank
decisions, and was compelled to seek
friendly shelter.
A large crowd was present, and as
usual Little Jack Wells enjoyed him
self from nearby roof by throwing peb-
bles upon the boys underneath him. One
of these missiles rested on the head of

A Kill at 300 Yards.

Where the gemsbuck were feeding
was much rocker ground than that
intervening between my camp and
them; this was all sandy veldt, stud
ded with the everlasting ant-hills,
which, however, got sparser as l
neared the game. l therefore slipped
off my horse, getting him between my
self and them for another 100 yards.
The increasing anxiety of the animals,
however, warned me that if l wanted
to shorten my gallop by Gripping one
of them, must lose no more time.
Accordingly l halted, though the dis
lance must have been a good 300
yards, and, taking careful aim over my
horses withers at the one with the
longest pair of horns, l fired. The
horse stood like rock, and knew
my aim had been good, even if the
animal had not stumbled forward at
the shot 1t quickly recovered,
though, and went away with the other
four, just as if nothing had happened,
at good pace, heavy animals as they
were, taking through and over the
rugged boulders as easily as chamois.
1 knew, however, that the heavy army
bullet would tell its tale. Instantly
on firing had vaulted into the saddle,
and followed in pursuit. This was

Menaced by Lions in Camp.

One night I was awakened by the
dog barking and the uneasiness of
the oxen. l grabbed my carbine hast
lily and endeavored to make out what
caused the disturbance. By the
meager light diffused by the new moon
could just distinguish the forms of
three large animals on the ridge above
the camp. I could see that they were
lions. and shook up already awaken
ing Kaffirs to make up the fire. I
had half mind to shoot, but thought
it safer not to do so, the distance
being too great; so I waited until
morning, and as the flames began to
shoot up and brighten the surround
ings the lions became less plain to
view. distinctly saw them, how
ever, move away over the ridge. The
remainder of the night I sat up in
case of any emergency arising, for
the animals kept snorting and shift
ing restlessly, whilst every now and
again came that rumbling roar, once
heard au natural never to be forgotten.
I was conscious of some creature
prowling close around. The roar of the
lions kept all the while sounding more
and more distant, and as dawn began
to break it ceased altogether. AS soon
as it was light enough to see to any
purpose, 1 stepped out, and as I did
so, large hyena jumped up from
some bones lying near by and made
off. l fired at him and rolled him
over, and before he could recover or
the dogs get up, luckily got another
bullet into him, this time right into
the head.
On examining the ground, discov-
cred that the lions had not approached
any nearer than the ridge on which l
had seen them. After having break
tasted, l returned again with the dogs
and followed the spoor as far as the
sand lasted; but. when the ground be-

BUELOW FOOLS H. HOWELL,
George Stovall Tells How the Former
Cleveland Catcher Turned
Trick.

Crossing an opposing batsman when
he is at the plate is the chief delight
of the rival battery. George Stovall
was telling story the other day Of
how Fritz Buelow, when a catcher
with Cleveland, pulled OF one on Har-
ry Howell.
The Clevelands had st. Louis beat
en-, about 9 to 1, in the ninth inning
when Howell came up to the plate.
There were two strikes on him, and
Buelow remarked:
Nov, Harry, get on your tiptoes.
for here is one going to be right over.
No use of you losing chance to make
a hit"
Of course, Howell took the tip and
was looking for one right over the
pan. AS the ball started towards the
plate Howell was ready to meet it,
and swung hard. It was one of those
roundhouse curves, and he missed it
mile.
Howell was so angry that he turned
around to give vent to his feelings.
Fritz was missing, however, az he had
started on the dead run for the bus

SAYS LEAGUE CONTRIBUTES
TO HANS WAGNER'S SALARY
Old Baseball Magnate Tells How Star
Player Was Kept from Jump.
ing Old Organization.

Hans Wagner's salary is not all
paid for by Dreyfuss." said an old
baseball magnate the other day In dis
cussing the national game. land most
persons will think there is something
queer when they know how it is
paid" He then went on to explain
that Wagner receives $4,000 a year,
$4,000 of which IS paid by the Pittsburg
club, $4,000 by the National league
and $4,000 by contribution from the
other seven league clubs. when the
American league was started six
years ago." he continued, IAN offer
was made to Wagner to pay him $780,
600 if he would join that organization.
This sum was to be guaranteed by de-
posting the $4,000 in some bank, and
Wagner was to be allowed to draw
$4,000 year from the fund Wagner
went with this offer to Dreyfuss, who
demurred at meeting it. but agreed to
pay Wagner a smaller salary and
guaranteed to pay him the difference
in five years from the amount he
drew from the Pittsburg club and the
$4,000 guaranteed by the American
leaguers, should the American league
be in existence. When this agree
ment was made there was present be-
sides Wagner and Dreyfuss, Harry C.
Pulliam, now president of the Nation
al league, but then secretary of the
Pittsburg club. At the expiration of
five years, in the spring of 1908, Wag-
ner went to Dreyfuss and demanded
the difference. The matter was taken
to Pulliam, who at once remembered
the agreement and declared Wagner
entitled to the money. 1t was on the
payment of the balance due Wagner,
according to the magnate, that the
present deal involving Honus' salary
was made. Dreyfuss is said to have
represented to his National league
colleagues that he was entitled to
some consideration for keeping Wag-
ner in the National league and that
it was not fair to make him pay the
balance due Wagner. Then they all
"chipped in" made up the deficit, and
later came to the salary agreement
which makes Wagner not the property
of the Pittsburg club, but the property
of the whole National league.

perience goes to show that it is far
too easy matter to miss with bull
let in uncertain light, and that at
short range buckshot is quite effective
enough with most game. l therefore
made several little paper shells to fit
my ten-gauge gun, and, chambering
the buckshot nicely therein, filled up
the interstices with Gland grease; no

last, over rock beyond, appeared the
lion, gradually rising into full view.
In the dim light he appeared mon
strous as he stood, chest full on; and
then, as he gave vent to sonorous
roar, which echoed and re-echoed from
rock to rock, the effect was grand,
and beyond any power of expression,
It Is under such circumstances as
these that one sees the lion at his

the sunlight he is more or less at a
disadvantage. He must have stood a
full minute like this; a sore tempta-.

should have killed him stone dead had
I done so. Having apparently salts
fed himself that things were all right,
he walked leisurely down to his prey,
and, again uttering roar, stood fac
ing me. This time did not hesitate,
but pulling both barrels nearly stimuli
taneously put both charges into his
chest, and the lion fell forward almost
without sound.

game; but gemsbuck, although fairly
plentiful away in the interior of the
desert, are hard enough to get, and to
see them was to want a head. My
horse was in hard condition and had
had some stiffish gallops recently, so
l saddled him up at once and deter
mined to give chase as soon as the
"boys"-my two Kaffirs-returned.
Telling them to get on with the skerm,
set out at canter, keeping we'll to
the right to get the advantage of the
wind. The veldt was so open that
stalking would have been hopeless,
whereas, by the aid of my horse as a
kind of blind, might possibly get a
shot before the gemsbuck took the
alarm, even though they might see us,
so long as they did not catch my

more easily attempted than done, and
my surefooted horse was not able to
negotiate the villainous country. l
therefore pulled up, lest we should
break both our necks, and as I did so
had the satisfaction of seeing the
gemsbuck drop in its tracks and re-
main there; whilst its companions
only seemed to scamper the faster. On
coming up, l found her, for it was a
fine cow, stone dead. The blood was
only beginning to trickle from the
wound, and had not noticed a spot
anywhere on the ground she had gone
over. On examination l found that
the bullet had completely torn away
the apex of the heart, and yet she had
galloped at least hundred yards at
as great speed as her companions,
practically without bleeding a drop

ity of such creatures, which l have
found even still stronger in the Ger
vidae proper than in the antelopes.
She had a prettily marked head, with
length of horns of three feet eight
thinking of bagging any of the rest of
the herd, so threw the carcass across
my horse and started back to camp.
A few days afterwards, as 1 was
perched on the wagon box scraping
at the skull of the gemsbuck, hardly
paid any attention to pair of secre-
tary birds which were sailing right
overhead. Their appearance, however,
suggested snakes, and sure enough,
there, as 1 looked around, among a
few odds and ends, impervious to the
irrepressible ants, was large puff ad
der. Il had crept through the fence
of thorns, and in evident excitement
was surveying it's novel surroundings
with body half raised. l did not like
the look of this particular reptile a
bit; but 1 did not intend that he
should escape and be in the vicinity,
though probably the secretary-birds

the neck, killing it instantly, and saw
ing my horse the stiff gallop 1 had
anticipated, for these creatures are
as swift as any of the genus. Throw
ing the carcass just as it was, without
opening, across the saddle, took it to
a spot which would give me a chance
of a telling shot, if a lion should
make its appearance. But although
watched the best part of the night,
nothing came of my vigil, the jackals
reaping the benefit of all my careful
preparations. The fact was, as sub
sequently found out, that they were
lions in their primo. and it is not
often that such can be decoyed by
carcass which they have not them
selves destroyed.
Next morning was, of course, about
looking for signs; but could make
nothing out as to lions. On going
down toward the river some half mile
from camp, my attention was attract
ed by the unusual conduct of leop-
ard. He was cutting all sorts Of
capers; at one time ploughing along
the ground with his head; at another
rearing upright and tearing at his
throat with his fore paws. All this
was curious, it was also my opportun-
ity, and l lost no time in putting
couple of bullets into him. the second
of which laid him out nicely, without
giving me the trouble which usually
falls to my lot when tack]tng these
great cats. On proceeding to investi-
gate the reason for such strange
performance, my wonder ceased.
Having tackled porcupine. with more
gusto than discretion, one Of the lat.
ter's quilts had got inserted under the
root of the leopard's tongue, and was
working deeper and deeper. The tor
ture the poor animal endured must
have been awful, and do not imagine
it could have survived. No dead
'porky" appeared to be around, so,
thanking him in his absence, l took
the beautiful spotted skin. Next day
was laid up with an attack of fever
which kept me idle for some time. My
two boys, however, attended assidu-
ously to my needs, and in due course
I got about again. The lions had, dur
