THE LIVERY STABLE DOG.

The common livery stable dog is to-
tally unlike the powder puff" or
"toots and skigums" dog. but his dis
position is infinitely better To lie
on a cushion and growl and snap at
the hand that would caress it is con-
sidered the height Of folly in the liv-
cry stable variety.
The livery stable dog approaches
you ingratiatingly and offers you a
dirty paw to shake. After you have
shaken 1t he solemnly gives you the
other Then he crawls up in your lap
and licks on your mouth.
The livery stable canine is a most
Industrious digger of holes. The
theory is that he is going to lie down
in the hole that he digs, but he does
no such thing. He goes and lies
down right in the middle of the side
walk. where the people will have to,
step over him. He will never get out
of anybody's way. He even lies down
in the middle of the street and tries
to make carts, wagons and atuomo-
biles avoid him.
He doesn't enjoy as large a vocabu-
larry as the powder puff or skigums
dog. A phrase like Does ums want
um's itty bass?" would scare him to
death. His advantages have not been
such as to acquaint him with such hi
flalutin talk, but he does know few
simple phrases like Get to blazes out
out of here. you blamed pestl" He
understands that perfectly.-Puck.

caught one Of the big ones, and
and knowing the doubt that al
ways hedges about q fish story,
no matter how trustworthy the
the fisherman may be in other
respects, he brought home with
him the tail of the animal, with
several photographs of the fish,
himself and Mrs. Cook in a kind
of family group, and had all
these on exhibition for his
Milbank friends that there might
be no ques ton as to the authen.
ITCHY of the story he has to re-
late. It was g case of making
the tail an evidence of the truth
OF the tale he tells. Even the
doubling Thomases are pretty
well convinced that Cook be-.
lieves the story himself.

game).
The J. A. Cs. repeated their victory
of few weeks ago by again defeat
ing the dragonlets at Aala Park yes
terday afternoon. 1t was a fast game
all the way through and thoroughly en-
Joyed by what seemed to be the largest
crowd of the season.
The Japs started out with a rush by
making three runs in the first inning
and followed this with another one in
the second. 1t was not till the third
inning that the Chinese team scored
when they made just one run. Then
followed three inings of snappy play
ing with both pitchers in good shape
and no errors in the field There was
quite tanning bee on both sides and
the batters went out in quick order
without anybody reaching third.
Both sides scored in the seventh in
ming but the dragonlets were unable to
do anything in the eighth and the ninth
inning opened with the score ) to in
favor of the Japs. The latter went out
without scoring and then the c. A. G.
team came up to do what they could
to make last stand and capture the
game.
There was a time when it seemer GER
tain that they would at any rate score
one run. Hang Chack was at bat with
only one man out and second and third
filed. He hit four foul flies in sue
eession, each one of which, had it been
fair, would have gone way beyond the
spectators and out of any possible reach
of fielding.
Unfortunately when he did hit fair
ball. it went low and was stopped by
the shortstop who easily assisted him
out at first This ended the efforts of
the dragonlets and the game was fin
ished with the Japs triumphant victors.
The official score was:

ingly. A good point is this: When g
man is on first and an infelder throws
the b&tter out, always whip the bal
down to second, as the man running
from first invariably overruns the base
The man at first must be able to
catch high and low, fast and slow
balls; catch them one hand and catch
them two hands; catch over the run
ner and under the runner; and he must
be hitter, for on him and the out
FEEDERS rests the burden of the work
of knocking in the runs.
From this it will be seen that to be
a first baseman one must be pretty
strong in all departments of the game.
Time was when a man who was a
fairly god hitter but failure in the
field was put into first base; il was a
sort of stop-over place for dead ones.
But now that time is past To play
first base on big league team a man
must be star, able to run, to field and
TO hit. The position, once considered
easy, is now looked on as one of the
most difficult, and few, indeed, are the
star first hasemen
