SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

+: When Henry Collins a young ne
gro from Illinois. arrives in Kentucky
again he will be careful to scrutinize
strangers before he shows his proud
possession, a new safety pistol. This
pistol, or rather the act OF concealing
Il. was the cause of trouble for Col
Inns yesterday when he was locked up
on a charge Of carrying a weapon
concealed. City Jailer James Clark
took Chief Collins pistol to a gum
smith yesterday afternoon, and was
waiting in the shop for his turn. when
a young negro turned and spoke to
the jailer. MIR. Clark wore his badge,
but the negro apparently did not see
81. He examined the chiefs pistol
and then remarked that he had a bet
ter one. Jailer Clark was surprised
at the statement, but Collins reached
back in his hip pocket and proudly
drew out a new pistol The gun was
OF late design, and all the while the
Taller was interested in the examine
ton Of the pistol. Collins remarked
that his pistol was the better and then
with pride showed his pistol back in
his rear pocket. and his coat con-
cealed II. Right then Jailer Clark
announced HIS authority, and quickly
jerked the pistol out OF the negro's
pocket. Collins got huffy and was
obstinate. but Collins was taken to
the police station. Collins enjoyed a
berth in the city jail last night. and
his morning was presented with
inc and jail sentence.

Catching 'possums in the winter
without dogs or gun was the peculiar
experience of Cecil Robertson, Frank
Merritt, John Herdy, Joe Gourieux
and Walter Herdy, four young fellows
who were returning home Tuesday
night Furthermore the 'possum was
caught in the city where he doubtless
had been rained out of his hiding
place. The animal was standing on
the sidewalk when the boys found
him, and the 'possum made no at
tempt to get away. He was picked
up and received all sorts of names,
one lad going so far as calling him a
water dog.

Game Struggle Between Giants md Tigers With Old Pals Wtse and "hon Man on Opposing
Mounds, Attracted Greatest Crowd yet-The Score Was to O-TYas
Did Well, Except ina Few Spots As

Just one run to the good at the finish.
OF yesterdays contest, the Giants
played before the largest crowd ever
squeezed into the confines of Wieden-
mayors Park, and were also given the
hardest tussle they have had since their
defeat by Brooklyn on the opening day
of h National League season. The
Tigers played a splendid game and Nc
Ginnity was d power in himself during
the contest, being all over the field, at
critical junctures. Though unable to
defeat his former pals, the Iron Man
proved, what is now a certainty, that
he is possessed of all his former skill
in the twfrling game, and the eight hits
secured by the invaders were scattered
through almost as many innings.
The Giants played with but two sub
stitutes. Fletcher in Arthur Devlin's
place at third and Pitcher Otis Crandaii
in left. where Charley Herzog is wont
to shine. The regulars could have done
no better than did their subs both

CONTEST
FOR SEASON PASS

season pass, which interested the base

several weeks. and afforded them a
chance to guess the lineup of the Tigers

closed Saturday, and the result will be
announced later.
1t is not known at this time who will
ager Wolverton and Joe MeGinnity are
not positive. SO the many fans who
sought to win the season pass will have
to remain in suspense for a day or so.
During the contest thousands of bal
lots were forwarded to the sporting de-
partment Of the STAR, and many of
the fans were broad in their guess.
Some placed as many as four to five
new men in the lineup, and a number
had Demmitt, Cree, Engle and Cocash
as the outfielder, and scores gave Jack
White the place.
Another position which seemed to
have quite a few thinking was pitcher.
McGinnity, Frill and Muller were men
toned freely, Behind the bat Kricbell
was mentioned most, and the name of
Tom Philbin and Indian Meyers was
also sent in.
The winners, of the STARS previous
contest for the baseball fans on tho
question of the greatest number Of
hits and runs that can be scored in an
inning, will be announced in time for
the fans to attend the opening game.
The winners will each receive a pass for
the battle for solving the ticklish ques-
ton. Like the other contest, the an

As n track general Fogler is undoubted-
superior to Kramer. He was an ideal
man for the champion to use when he
needed a team mate. Aside from Floyd
MacFarland It is probable that no rider
on the track Is equal to Fogler In clever
ness. He showed it Sunday. Kramer is
by no means SO tricky.
He is usually alert to take an oppor-
tunity when another rider gives It to
him, but he has won more times when
he needed TO overcome disadvantages such
as being In a pocket or having to ride
around a big field before being able to
tackle his real rival in a race. or some

Kramer does not try to keep his rivals

Holding the Giants to FIVE runs In
Two games is a most enviable record,
and the Tigers can wen afford to be
proud OF their achievement. 1t places
them up with my Of the National
League clubs, as very few of the latter
could hope for any greater success
against the men of McGraw.
The Giants are n scrappy bunch, and
at one time McGinnity was compelled
to threaten to put Bugs Raymond off
the grounds because of the ~latter's
strenuous kicking at one of the UNI
pirc's decisions. However, the cloud
blew over and his buglets retired to
the seclusion of the visitors bench.
Krichell is getting in the habit of
picking off runners off the bases by his
lightning throws and opposing base
unners keep pretty close to the
cushions when the Rabbit is behind the
bat. He easily caught O'Hara on Billy's
attempted larceny of third, after he had
already copied second.
Billy Louden was the unlucky fielder
yesterday. but more thar made up for
his errors by his catch of a nasty
