After tnoight, three teams, in.
stead of four, will be battling for
first honors in the s. A. A. c. hand
ball tournament, while on Saturday
night the number may be reduced
to two. Tonight Parsons and
Single hok up with Slater and
Phillips, and as neither team has
lost a game this season, battle
royal is expected.
Saturday night Parsons and
Single play Bigelow and Edge, an
other brace of undefeated ones.
Should Parsons and Single win
from Slater and Phillips tonight
and again from Bigelow and Edge
Saturday night, the contest will be
narrowed down to two teams, with
twice-winners favorites for the
championship. If they lose one
game and cop the other, the teams
will be grouped in two divisions.
While a defeat does not neces-
sarily mean the loss of the title,
the race is such q close one that
one game on the wrong side of the
score sheet is a serious handicap.

Is officially designated a "derelict de-
stroyer" and not only is she novelty
among American ocean-going craft,
but is unique in the world, being the
first and only vessel of the kind ever
designed or constructed. The primary
function of the Seneca is, of course,
indicated by her title, "derelict de-
stroyer," but the usefulness of the
powerful vessel Is by no means con-
fined to the removal of derelicts,
wrecks or other menaces to naviga-

Every day this ambitious young
hunter would go on the hunt for deer
alone and return. with tales Of the
footprints and other signs he had
seen Of deer within short distance OF
the camp. Every depression among
the leaves ON the ground. every leaf
turned over and every twig snapped
was a sure sign, to his mind, that deer
had been on the ground, perhaps q
whole herd Of them.
Early, very early, one morning the
old hunter arose quietly and took with
him the hoof Of deer that he car
ried with him for luck--a big buckle
hoof--and crept to the tent Of the
young hunter, where he made imprinti
on the soft ground all around 1t. Many
