A Few Fan Notes of the Villager Victory

until the catch was made. How
ever, the decision made no differ
ence In the result.
Olson's bounder took high
fight over Burrell in the first and
Ole was credited with a base hit.
That class of base hits are always
more or less a matter of luck.
All, ha, what have we here?
Mysterious" Mitchell is going to
South America. This is the most
welcome news that we have re-
ceived in a long time. The mystery
should be in his element down there
and will no doubt ultimately be
elected to the presidency of some
republic. At least he has the
bearing OF ruler.
What possible use can a baseball
pitcher find for a Chinese fiddle?
We don't know-ask Carson-he
brought one back from Frisco.
Charley Graham and his clan
appear to be giving the Angels a
warm reception in the capital city.
Graham's club is fit to do battle
With CNCh IAlC lOP-IlOlCLCIo JuSL
now, put alas, too late. With the
same team next year, Sacramento
should finish far, far away from
that cellar position.
Local fans would like to see Dan
ny Long and Walter McCredie oc-
cupy a cage together at the Luna
park zoo this winter. They are
in a class by themselves and
would certainly prove an attrac-
tion.
Hogan got even with McCredie
for all the sarcastic things Big Mac
said about the Vernon leaders
the game ended, Hap looked over
at Mac and pointing to Gregg,
yelled, "Got any more on the club
like him?'
Trouble in large punches is
promised before the Coast league
directors finish their meeting, which
is scheduled to convene tomorrow
night. Opposition from Sacramen-
to, San Francisco and Oakland is
expected on the question of the
double umpire system, but Hen
Berry and Hogan declare that they
viii fight to the last ditch Tor the
retention of the system. Umpires
appointed by Danny Long for
friendships sake are not welcomed
here and we want two men to de-
eide our games. Anyway, the job
is too much for one man If he is
expected to do justice to both clubs.
A great secret is out-Hogan an
nounced in Frisco last week that
he IS about to retire from active
service and beginning next season
will be bench manager a la Con-
ME Mack.
"They told me up north that I
couldn't come back" said Hogan
after finishing up yesterdays game
for Brown, "and to tell the truth
/ didn't expect to do any more
catching, but I fooled 'em. I'm the
exception that did come back"
'Kitty" Brashear received a tele-
gram from Tom Tenant yester-
day in which the Seal first-sacker
announced that he would be on
hand for the winter league season.
This is welcome news to Norman
as he was afralu of losing Tom for
a time.

If a stranger happens to stroll by

may think that an Indian tribe on the

civilization by mistake. But be not
deceived-it is only the effervescent
spirits of the u. S. c. boys bubbling
over in the celebration of the annual

According to present reports they
intend to make this years event the
biggest ever held in the history of the
school According to custom the boys
of the freshmen class have been piling
up all the surplus barn doors, dead
bones and other combustible material
that they could lay their hands on for
weeks and a magnificent pile is in
readiness.
The members of the football team
who are to compete against Occidental

war dance will be indulged in by
everybody present-including, it is

who Will Leave for Coast League Directors
Meeting in San Francisco Tonight
next week. This will give the boys
a nice little bit" to take home as
a nest egg.
Hogan had planned to go north
with Berry tonight to take in the
Coast league meeting, but the in
Jury to Brown will probably keep
Hap here. Breckenridge will go as
the Vernon representative in case
Hap is obliged to remain away.
The Villagers are hoping that Nc
Creede sticks to his announced In
tention of pitching Gregg three
times this week. If the plasterer
has no more than he exhibited
yesterday it would be well to keep
him in the club house until the
series is finished.
Carson today and Breckenridge
tomorrow. We almost feel sorry
for the Ducks. Soldier has "some-
thing these days F"Brack' has
had the Indian sign on the leaders
all season. A brace by the Oaks
might change the complexion of
this race.
"Isn't it funny" remarked a fan
who has witnessed games all over
the Coast league circuit this sum-
mer, that in the north Bracken-
ridge is considered a bear-cat at
the pitching business, while down
here he is not considered anything
out of the ordinary" The northern
grass diamonds probably explain
this partially, as on a grass field
the ball does not get scuffed and
is easily handled by a spitball
pitcher However, Jack Lively of
the Commuters never has any trou-
BILE getting his splitter working
here, another mystery of baseball.
President Eddie Maier of the Yer
non club occupied a seat on the
Villagers bench throughout the
game. This may explain the ginger
exhibited by the men of Hogan.
Hogan was fearfully worked up
when McGreevy called Ross out
for leaving third base before Ryan
caught \. Brashear's fly in the
sixth, and used strong language in
endeavoring to show Mac the error
of his way. But Mac refused to
be persuaded and the decision stood.
At that it was a close one as Ross
appeared to have kept the bag

ON THE WITNESS STAND.
The Right Of . Witness to Qualify His
Answers.

witness should speak only when he Is
spoken to. He should not volunteer
anything except that when he is asked

cence could really be answered Yes

the distinguished expert witnesses for

1t is a mistaken notion that a wit

1t is. surprising that such should have

the hunting down of witches and the

functions only Il century or two ago
The theory as to categorical reply was
completely exploded by the gentleman

you that You must answer Yes" or

the question is one which is not sus-

Mannerly behavior on the part of
witnesses includes keeping ones tenn

Cross examination for the purpose OF
testing your memory is not intended
to be and should not be regarded as
insulting. 1t should therefore not be

with the witness more than with the

The Wonderful Banana.

Some people believe that the banana
was the original forbidden fruit of the
garden of Eden. In any case it is one
of the curiosities of the vegetable
kingdom, being not a tree. palm, a
bush, shrub, vegetable or herb,
but a herbaceous plant with the status
of a tree. Although it sometimes at
tains height of thirty feet. there Is
no woody fiber in any part of its struc-
ture. and the punches growing on the
dwarf banana plant are often heavier
than the stalk which supports them.
No other plant gives such II quantity
of food to the acre as the banana. II
yields A times more by weight than
the potato and 133 times more than
wheat. Moreover, no insect will at
tack it. and it is always immune from
diseases of any kind.

QUEER INDIAN BELIEFS.
The Five Worlds Of the Bella ceela
Sun Worshipsrs.

There Is an odd feature In the theol.
ogy Of the small Indian tribe Of the
Bella Coola which inhabit British Co.
lumbia In about latitude So They be-
lieve that there are five worlds. one
above the other. and the middle one Is
our own world, the earth. Above 1t
are two heavens. and under it are two
underworlds. In the upper heaven Is
the supreme deity. who is woman,
and she doesn't NEEDLE much with the
affairs in the second world below her.
The zenith is the center of the lower
heaven. and here is the house of the
gods. in which live the sun and the
rest of the deities.
Our own earth is believed TO be an
island swimming in the ocean. The
first underworld from the earth is in
habited by ghosts, who can return.
when they wish, to heaven, from which
place they may be sent down to our
earth. If then they misbehave again
they are cast into the lower of the I'M
derworlds. and from this bourn no
ghOstly traveller returns.
The Bella Coola are sun worshipers,
for Senex. the sun. the master of the
house of gods. who is called the father
aud the sacred one, is the only deity
to whom the tribe pray. Each family
of the Bella Coda has its own tradi-
tons and its own form of the cur
rent traditions. so that in the mytholo-
gy of the tribe there are countless con-
tradictlons. When any one not a mem

SMOKELESS POWDER.
It Came Through Experimenting For
Hiqh Explosives.

The idea Is very general that smoke
less powder in being practically
smokeless achieves its greatest end,
but as a matter of fact its smokeless
feature is incidental and was an ac-
cident.
When the idea of modern long range
guns was conceived it was at once ap
parent that the old black powder lack
ed explosive force, and thousands of
experiments were made with various
chemicals to procure Il powder of high
explosive properties. ana this was at
last accomplished
When the new powder was tried,
much to the surprise of every one It
was found that practically no smoke
followed the explosion, though this
could of course have been predicted
had the question ever arisen. The
volume of smoke from black powder
is due mainly to the quantity of char
coal in the powder. an ingredient not
found in the smokeless explosive.
Smokeless powder, though great
boon to the sportsman, is of question
able value on the battlefield. so far as
its smokelessness Is concerned. The
smoke clouds Of old days were fire.

cloak movements of troops and bat

enemy much more than with the

The gigantic tropical flrehles which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes

An Italian Superstition.

There Is an Italian superstition that
whenever king belonging to the
house Of Savoy dies Il huge eagle Is to
be seen crossing the Alps over the val
ley of Aosta in the direction of Savoy,
and the conviction prevails among the
inhabitants of Aosta that this eagle
guides the soul of the dead sovereign
to join those of his ancestors IN Savoy
When King Charles Albert died at
Lisbon, King Victor Emmanuel died
mt Rome and King Humbert was as
sasinated at Monza in 1900 the eagle
was seen winging its way across the
Alps All other eagles crossing the
Alps don't seem TO count for much.
