KERMIT GETS HIS LEOPARD.
Col. Roosevelt Describes Sons Ability
in African ThiclSet.

From African Game Trails 57 TheodUs RooSe
Welt IN the January SClbnsr.
In one OF these beats they put up a
leopard. and saw il sinking forward ahead
Of them through the bushes. Then they
lost sight OF IT. and came 10 the conclu-
sion that II was IN a large thicket SO
Kermit went on one side OF It and Nc
MILAN on the other, and the heaters ap-
preached TO Try and get the leopard out
OF course none Of the heaters had guns;
their function was merely 10 make dis
turbance and rouse the game. and they
were cautioned on TO account 10 get into
danger. But the leopard did not wait 10
be driven. without any warning, out ne
came and charged straight at Kermit
who stopped him when he was but six
Yards of with q bullet IN the forepart o.
the body; the leopard turned and as he
galloped back, Kermit hit him again.
Gripping him in the hips.
The wounds were fatal, and they would
have knocked the fight out Of any ami
nal less plucky and savage than the leop-
ard. but not even in Africa is there
beast Of more unflinching courage than
this spotted cat.
The heaters were much excited by the
sight Of the charge and the way IN which
it was stopped. and they pressed jubilant-
~ forward, too heedlessly. One Of them,
who was on McAIillan's side q the
thIcket. went too near it, and out came
the wounded leopard al him.
1t was badly crippled or 1t would have
got the beaten at once; as IL was. Il was
slowly overtaking him as he ran through
tho tall grass. when Mcmillan. standing
on an ant heap, shot Il again. Yet. IN
spite Of having this third bullet in II, It
ran down the beater and seized him,
worrying him with teeth and claws, but
il was weak because OF its wounds. and
the powerful savage wrenched himself
free, while Mcmillan fired into the beast
again. and back it went through the long
grass into the thicket.
There was a pause and the wounded
heater was removed 10 place OF safety,
while a messenger was sent on 10 Us -
bring up the Boer dogs. But while they
were waiting the leopard, on its own in
itiative. brought matters 10 a crisis, for
out II came again straight at Kermit, and
this time It dropped dead to Kermits
bullet.

CALL IT A DEAD HEAT.
London Prize Fight Story Raises
Unique Point for Argument.


Unique Point for Argument.
A cable from London says that a discus
sion has been raised there as to what a
referee ought TO do in the case Of a
double knockout. This almost happened
the other day in a contest between Evern-
den and Meekins. They both landed at
the same time, each man going down.
There Evernden stayed. Meekins man.
aged TO crawl up onto his legs when the
referee had counted as far as eight. and,
Of course. gained the award. But what
would have happened, some one wants
to know, If neither had been able to get
up before the ten seconds had elapsed?
One commentator Is of the opinion that
the contest could not have been given as
draw. because both men had been
knocked out, and consequently beaten,
and there seems to be some Who maintain
that such a fight could only count as "a
suspended contest" which would have
to be resumed at a later period. We en-
tirely agree with the writer who declines
10 accept this latter view. and would give
such a fight as draw. It might, Of
course. be argued that a man should not
be adtudged a winner when he is lying
senseless on the floor. That sounds
plausible enough. But there is another
view of the situation. If A is knocked
out. so is B. A knocked him out more
over, and, having done SO, it would be
equally absurd to say that he was the
loser. The same applies to B. B has
knocked out A, and why should it not be
said that he had won? Both, indeed, have
won equally, and draw IS surely the
Just conclusion. II is equivalent to a
dead heat.

Bill Kay. who was given a trial by
the Nationals two years ago and sent to
the minors for lack Of speed. closed the
1903 season with the Albany club, Of the
New York State League, leading the or
ganizatiOn in batting.
Official averages published Sunday
show that Kay played 40 games, went to
bat 527 times. scored Il runs, made lS5
hits. for an average of .351. six points
better than Drake, Of Wukesbarre, who
finished in second place.
The Chicago Cubs have drafted Kay,
and unless Manager Murphy changes his
mind, Kay will probably be taken along
during the early training trip,
While Kay was with the Nationals he
showed considerable promise as a hitter,
but was so fearfully slow on the bases
and in the field that he had to be let
out.
