CHANCE FOR LUSH=-
 GAN HE TAKE IT?

Marlin, Texas, March 12.-Manager McGraw is no longer counting on Mike Donlin. and announced yester- day morning to the four outfielders that are trying for a regular position that the man who shows best will get the berth.
 This means an interesting race from now on, with Kommers and Shaw having a slight lead. Williams, the Redman, will have something to. say, however, when he gets over his lamenesS. He banks on winning out because of his heavy hitting. But Lush is also dangerous candidate for left field.
 Of the men trying now for the berth Kommers and Lush have done the best hitting, while Lush, until he injured his ankle proved that he was the best base runner.
 But no matter which man gets the berth, it is safe to say that left field will be covered a heap sight better than last season.

BOXING

Chicago, March 12.-There is a chance that Battling Nelson will meet Matty Baldwin of Boston in New Orleans in July or August. This announcement was made@by the Dane today following a conference yesterday. Nelson says he would just like to show the fight fans Of the country that he is far from 'tau in.''
 Blonde-haired ''Knockout'' Brown finished in second place in whirlwind ten-round bout with Willie Beecher at the National Sporting Club. New York, last night, and although Beecher throughout the mill played a tattoo of stiff left and right hand smashes against Browns jaw the light-haired fighter never wfnched and took his whipping with gameness and was as willing to mix it at the end as in the beginning. It was evident that Brown was not up to fis usual form. He fought a hard fight on Tuesday night with Boyo Driscoll, and two bouts a week is evidently too much for the youngster. Beecher was stronger throughout.

Animal Nanitx.


 In small town in Jersey there is corner grocery where you may buy anything from a twenty foot ladder to pearl necklace. Adhesive plaster, sauerkraut and toilet articles are also sold, and in case of necessity you may get a hair cut or a horse shod in the back yard. Some time since a farmer stopped in the store to get some horse iniment to rub the rheumatism out of a sick COW. and two or three days later he came back with a life sized kick.
 Look here, Abner," he complaining ly remarked. '1 wish ye would be a leetle might more keerful how ye throw yersef back O thet counter. Tother day ye give me cologne in- stead O hoss liniment, and gosh dast if I didn't put it on thet sick COW afore I found out what it was.''
 sIt didn't hurt her any, did it?'' broke in the groceryman.
 Cant say thet it did, answered the farmer. 'fbut ever sence she has had thet sweet smellin' stuff on her she hain't done a derned thing but jes' looksat her reflection in ther duck pond an sigh."-Philadelphia Telegraph

"Pop' Posters Record

A Holyoke fan who is jubi1ant over the advent of Pop Foster into that town as manager of the Papermakers is desirous of settling a bet concern ing the former Bridgeporter. He asks 1st "Did Pop Foster ever play in did he p1ay?H
 2nd. s'What club did he leave to go to the Tri-State league, and what year?''
 Foster at the end of the Connecticut league in 1904 was drafted by Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Americans and turned over to the Newark club of the Eastern league to finsh the sea- son. He reported back to Newark in 1905. and during the summer jumped to the Lancaster team of the Tri-State league, in which he has played ever since, last season with Reading.

Odd French EnaIish.

A correspondent has been studying English pronunciation in a French dic- tionary (Pierre Larousee. 1S9Ol and picks out a few examples to show how much effort is necessary for French man to acquire true articulation of English. They are all taken from a surprisingly long list of English phrases current in France. Broken down" fas applied to race horsel is sfbro-k'n-daoun." Dead heat'' is rem dered as did hith,'' which is ingenious, but hardly correct. ''Ai-laif'' is not a bad attempt for '.high life.' although the aspirate is missing. Self govern ment'' looks an even more imposing political ideal as self gheuvernmentt, ' and the word shocking is quite ap- plicable when rendered t'chok-inn-que." The opening words of Hamlet's fa- nous soliloquy have a dscidediy for eign look. ''Tou bi or mott tou bi. that is thi heunn.''-Manches- ter Guardian.

poa Law In constantinopIe.


 tsWhen one of the street dogs of Gen. stantipopie gets too old to be of use to the band the captain dog decides that he is to die.'' says Albert Bigelow Paine in Harper's Weekly. "A day comes when the captain issues an edict that he is no longer to have food. From that day until his death not morsel passes his lips With longing eyes he looks at the others eating. but he makes no attempt to join them Now and again bit Of something falls his way. The temptation is too strong he. reaches toward the morsel. The captain. who overlooks nothing, gives a low growI. The dying creature shrinks back without a murmur. He knows the law. Perhaps he. too, was once a captain. The minister's wife told me that she had tried to feed one of those dying dogs. but that even when food was placed in front of him he would only look pleadingly at the captain and refuse to touch it."

Cold as a Cure.

Cold of certain intensity produces not only hunger. but, as it has been proved, health as well. RaOul Pictet, the famous Swiss chemist. was mak- ing experiments on a degree of cold considerably lower than any which occurs naturally, and he found that at temperatures between no and 15O below zero no covering of any kind would keep cold out, or. more exactly. would keep warmth in. There is noth- ing surprising about that. The sur prise is in the result. M. Pictet is gentleman who has suffered greatly from indigestion. After an exposure of several minutes to the cold which he had produced he experienced sen sation of hunger which he has de- scribed as ravenous. When he had eaten he experienced none of the tor lures of kis ailment. and when he had alternately frozen and eaten three or four times he found himself entirely cured.-London Telegraph.

BOWLING.

Bridgeport has a walk over in the State Duck Pin League. She has everything her way, having lost only three out of twenty-one games. Wa terbury, our nearest competitor, who by the way is~ responsible for those three losses, has lost eight games, while New Haven is content with third place.
 West of New Haven enjoys high in ndividual7 average with 1Oo.47 for Is games. Pullan of Meriden is second with 00-21 for 14 games.

Meaning of Cemetery.

It is not correct to say that s'ceme- tery'' means the t'city of the dead" The word is from the Greek ''koime- terion," meaning sleeping place. not the place of the dead. There is noth- ing in the etymo1ogy of the word to warrant us in thinking that it was originally intended to convey the idea that the departed were really dead any more than there is in the old Hebrew term for cemetery, "bethaim,'' the house of the living.-Exchange.
