How a Bear Fishes

Few people have had the opportuni
ty OF seeing a bear feeding, that is.
in his native state; and fewer still
have seen him fishing. But fish he
does, and in it he displays an amount
OF patience and dexterity that is
amazing. He will lie motionless upon
an overhanglng log or bank with paw
poised and little beady eyes attentive
ly scanning the wafer. Salmon and
trout are his chief delight, and should
one come near enough to the surface
he Is snapped out on the bank with a
flip and twist and vanishes in
bruins capacious nav. - November

Cat Kills Allinatnr

Lakeland has an educated cat
which evidently must be able either
to read or to understand the talk of
the folks about her. 1t seems that
the feline must have heard that the
Florida legislature had made it law
full to kill alligators, and forthwith
she went out and got hers. Here is
what Editor Hetherington of the
Lakeland News has to say on the sub
1ecI: Mr.. Brown Griffin reports that
when the family arose one morning
they found the house cat standing
triumphant guard over a 15-inch ALI
gator, which it was evident she had
struggled with and dispatched. The
gator had wandered from some lake
or pond and came near the house,
with the result that pussy met and
put 1t out of business. Florida

McALEER TO SIGN THREE-YEAR
CONTRACT WITH NATIONALS
May Make Washington His Permanent
Home-Is to Have General Super
vision of Clubs Affairs.

which now fall on the shoulders Of Presi-
dent Noyes. 1t is this proviso /, - ie
contract which is causing McAle. to
his life and has many pleasant associa-
! lions there which he would have to give
UP If he made this his permanent home.
though there is little doubt that he will
do this.
The club owners. like the patrons Of
the game here. appreciate the good work
| that McAleer has accomplished with the
Nationals, and in order to make him
feel that he will have something to look
forward to and can work for the future,
the club wants him to sign a three-year
contract which. as said before, virtually
gives him the entire supervision Of the
local clubs business.
When McAleer signed last fall with the
| local club it was for one year, and his
contract expires at the end of the pres
ent season Though his team got a poor
start. 1t has worked its way up to fifth
place and gives promise of staying in
that position. which is higher in the race
than any team representing this city in
the American League has ever finished.
Incidentally. his policy to strengthen with
youngsters seems to have struck q popu-
lar chord, and there is good chance for
the team OF this year being even better
next.
McAleer is given credit for having got
ten results out Of the material which Joe
Cantillon left here for him, the only adj
dition really being Elberfeld. The Ma
tionals have furnished the best class of
base ball this year ever produced by a
local team. and McAleer deserves much
of the credit for this gratifying condi-
ton.

SECTION A.
CORNELL WINS CHAMPIONSHIP

The championship of Section Of the
post-season series was decided by shut
out yesterday afternoon, when the Cor
nell Company team. pennant winners of
the Capital City League, downed the
Commissioners team, champions OF the
Departmental League and contenders for
the honor by a score Of 5 to O.
To Buscher. the star twirler OF the
Capital City League team. goes the credit
for the victory, as he pitched alright
ball throughout the entire nine innings.
Six of the Commissioners reached first
base three of them on hits and the other
three on free transportation to the initial
sack.
The Cornell team as a whole played in
championship form. Only one misplay
was charged against ii and this was not
costly. Several fine plays were pulled on.
AS the Tigers had given indications OF
solving Robertson's delivery in the other
games he started for the Commissioners,
'Curley" Byrd, the former Tristate twirl-
er, was selected to endeavor to take a
fail out Of the Capital City Leaguers.
but he was not equal to the occasion.
Eleven safe drives were recorded by the
Tigers All Of them. however, were
singles. He issued four free passes and
famed three batters.

Cleve Beckett was sent to the catcheF's
box. He did not make as good a show
Ing as Dick had in the other games.

play undoubtedly saved two runners from
scoring.

hand in the second inning when he slid
into Chick" Thomas at third base. The
injury was not severe and he resumed
playing after a few minutes delay.
Umpire Hughes was not fast enough In
getting out of Hurley's way in the fourth
inning when Jack planted for a double

first sack he collided with Hughes. Both

running path.

FARM LIFE FOR BOWERMAN.
Famous Catcher Will Give Up Bas'
Ball for Bucolic Living.

NEW YORK. September s.-Information
comes from Indianapolis to the effect
that Frank Bowerman. who has been
catching for the indianapolis team OF the
American Association this year, has gone
to his farm In Romeo, Mich, and 10 Is
not likely he will ever wear a base ball
uniform again II Is said that II was
only Bowerman's personal regard for
President Watkins Of the indianapolis
Club that kept him I'm the game this
year. as II was Watkins who gave him
his really first good chance to play after
he left the University Of Michigan, q
good many years ago.
Bowerman Is considered TO be pretty
well fixed with this worlds goods. He 10
rated among the base ball players and
others as a man who pays taxes on about
100000 worth OF property, so II 10 not
likely that the Giants old catcher and
subsequent manager of the Boston Ma
tionals will worry much about what the
future holds In store for him.

Before the present season draws to a
close Jim McAleer will have affixed his
signature to a contract calling for his
services as manager Of the local club for
the next three years.
The best proposition ever made Nc
Aleer in his many years experience in
base ball Is now before him and there lie
hardly a chance of his turning 1t down.
Not only do the owners OF the local club
want McAleer to continue at the head Of
the team with which he has made a most
brilliant showing, but he is to assume
