Trapping Hawks.

We recently heard Of a poultrymah
who fastened several traps on posts
and stumps near his poultry yard for
the purpose of catching hawks. The
traps worked day and night, and It
was not long until he had caught five
hawks, an owl and polecat. Hawks
have a habit of lighting on a post or
tree to survey the field before swooping
down on their prey.-Farmers' Mail

feet would show itself on the markets

CLYDE MILAN BECAME BALL
PLAYER UNDER DIFFICULT TIES
NATIONALS STAR FIELDER GOT
EARLY EDUCATION ON
ROUGH STREETS.
Folks of His Home Town Have
Never Seen q Professional
Ball Game.
BY j. ED GRILLo.

One would naturally suppose that the
early environments Of our star ball play
ers were such as to give them every OPP
portunity to practice at the game, but
such Is seldom If ever the case.
Town lots, none too well graded, or hol-
lows which have been partly or all filled
with the cities debris, furnish most Of the
primary playing fields for the future
greats. and it is not every ball player who
has even such meager advantages.
Linden. Tenn, the home Of Clyde Milan.
is a little town built on a mountainside
There is hardly an acre of ground within
a radius Of miles that is on the level,
everything being hillside
Yet it was under these conditions that
Milan learned to play ball. The main
street of the town furnished the playing
field. and from falling on the sharp edges
of the protruding stones Milan still car
ries numerous scars on his limbs Fur
thermore, base ball is almost unknown in
that section. and just how Milan ever
came to take up the game is as much OF
a puzzle to him as any one else. But it
seems that when he was a mere boy he
read something in the papers about the
game, and, getting some sort of a cheap
could get. That there was no particular
craze over the game in Linden in those
days, or now, though there is some in
terest now that Milan has become pro-
fessional, is shown by the fact that there
is not a citizen of Linden who has ever
seen a professional ball game of any sort
or description. In fact, the populace sort
of looks upon Clyde as a bunko man be-
cause he has succeeded in persuading
some one to pay him real money just to
play base ball.
But, at any rate, Clyde practiced on the
main street every day that the weather
allowed, and the traffic was never such
that there was reason for other Interrupt
tions until one day he got the idea IN
his head that he ought to be pail
player.
He read an advertisement that the
manager Of a team at Blossom, TEX
wanted players. Though mere boy,
Milan concluded that he would make his
way to Texas and apply for job. 1t
took him several days to get to Blossom,
but once there he found no trouble in 10
eating the manager of the team: Or
course, Clyde was as green as could De
ina gined regarding everything connected
with base ball, and when asked what ne
played he said the infield. SO he got into
the game the very first dnV and he nit
everything that was dished UP to him,
though his fielding was rather erratic.
I'm those days." said Clyde. II did not
understand the Importance of being able

HANDS
DANGEROUS TRICK
Over in England They Are Get
ting Ready to Prohibit
Practice.

Over in England they are trying to IN
troduce a reform in the manner OF BAN
daging the hands of boxers who engage
in ring contests In that country. 1t would
be a good idea to do something of that
kind in America.
What was intended originally as
mere protection to the hands has been
greatly abused and turned into what in
many cases amounts to arming the box
ers with a dangerous weapon. Instead or
the proverbial light bandages Of soft ma
terial, which in themselves would not be
harmful, there are many boxers who go
into the ring with their knuckles wrap
ped tightly with electric tire tape till 1t
makes a wad when the hand is closed
almost as big as base ball, and the
fighter who has the trick down fine can
hit blow with it which is almost as
bad az II 1t had been struck with black
jack. Other boxers have been accused
of packing the tire tape with plaster OF
paris, which, when it gets wet with the
water the seconds use and then hardens,
which it does very quickly, makes the
closed fist somewhat as nasty to be hit
with as a half-brick. Still, again, one
Boston manager OF boxers used to carry
in his vest pocket small strips OF leather,
to which Jumps of lead had been fasten-
