KITS THE CHAMPS
OF TIGER CAMP
No Question Regarding Their Being
Better of the Two Teams Which
Hughie Is Heading.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. March 25.-
There is no question today In the
minds OF the San Antonio populace
over the identity OF the better of the
two Detroit clubs which battled for
the championship yesterday. The
general impression seems to exist
that Hughie Jennings would do wise
ly TO start his young team In the
championship race, reserving the frst
two weeks or SO OF the season for the
purpose OF getting his regulars into
form.
Just as everybody had predicted,
the youngsters won the game with the
regulars. The score was closer than
most OF the knowing ones had pre-
dicted. the Kits getting the verdict by
but one run. But the youngsters
should have had IL by an even larger
margin than 2 to l. They out-batted
and out-felded the regulars and. but
for the fact that they were not lucky
in the long chances they took on the
bases, would have made the old boys
look even worse in comparison.
Featureful in the combat was
Ralps Works decision to walk Sam
Crawford with one man on base, and
take a chance with O'Leary whom he
got. there being two out previously.
Bush's ragged fielding gave tho
colts one OF their runs but this was
balanced by Kinks failure to touch 4
regular runner when he had q put-out
sQuarely In front OF him.
Wild Bill Donovan and his crowd
get out tonight, leaving the jennings
team In control. Hughie had ordered
Cobb to join Bill In Houston. Hughes
team plays Santone, Saturday.

zBySzkO HONEST
OVER HIS FEATs
Won't Even Predict That He Will

Remarks That I'VE Shall See.'
BY MILTON PALMER.

Modesty is the most striking trait
OF Stanislaus ZbysZko who is wrest
ling at the Avenue theater every af-
ternoon and evening while training
near here for his match with Iussin
Mahmout at Chicago next week. No
amount OF coaXing can induce Zbys-
zko To venture prediction that he Is
going TO defeat any OF his rivals
An expressive wave OF the hand and
a brief We shall see" is his sole an
sweT to questions about the coming
bouts. That he is not afraid of Nah
mout or Gotch, is apparent however.
Mahmout is skilful, admits Zbys-
zko. He is better in that way than
most OF the Turks But he Ii moi

There is probably no native malaria

A VERY QUEER BIRD.

Opoa the Seientiats.

MARK Twain'S father was an ornithol
ogist. He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject of
DlfdS Whenever ANY one of them dis
covered IL lTirl avis it was the custom
TO have Il consultation. Mark had been
u witness vf several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
OIu men took i'll discussing new
found specimen. One day it occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with real circus in the
FORM OF bird. He killed crow and
also a barnyard rooster. Piucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster he substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those of the crow, pro,
duclng a unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared he went
to his father and, handing it to him.
said:
Here, father, is very curious bird
shot. l thought you would be inter-
ested in it,"
The old gentleman gaZed upon the
specimen with astonishment. That
evening the Ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put be-
fore them. The discussion was long
and learned. The opinions expressed
were various. One thought the bird
was an Offshoot of the bird of para
disc family; others had equally ridicu-
lous notions as to its ancestry But
there was one who refused to b.
swerved by the popularity of the
birds tail from the judgment that it
was Of the crow family.
"Why. just look here" he said, lift
ing the bird by its tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There was quick closing of a
door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave
