take in; the ground written over
with the scent of game of some
sort, the air full of the lure of wild
adventure. How human be Is at
such times; he is out on lark. In
his spirit of hilarity he will chase
hens, pigs, sheep, cows. which or
dinarilv he would give no heed to,
just as boys abroad in the fields
and woods will commit depreda-
tions that they would be ashamed
of at home.
When l 90 iato my neighbours
house his dog of many strains, and
a great crony of mine, becomes
riotous with delight. He whines
with joy, hops up on my lap, en-
resses me and then springs to- the
door, and, with wagging tail and
speaking looks and actions, says:
Come on. Let's Off" l open
the door and say, go, if you
want to-" He leaps back on my
lap and says: ''No, no. not with
out you" Then to the door again
with his eloquent pantomine, till !
finally follow him forth into the
street. Then he tears up the road
to the woods, saying so plainly:
Better one hour Of SIabsides than
IL week of humdrum at home" Al
such times if we chance to meet
his master or mistress on the road,
be heeds them not, and is absolute
ly deaf to their calls.
Well, | do not suppose the dog
is in our line of descent, but his
stem form must join ours not very
far back. He is our brother at
not very many removes, and he
has been so modified aud humaniz-
ed by the long intercourse with
our kind, stretching no doubt
through hundreds of thousands of |
years, that we are near TO him and
be is near to us.-John Burroughs |

SACRIFICE HITTING
REQUIRES PRACTICE
Jimmy SheCkard Says Ex-
perts in This Specially
Deserve More Credit.

Sacrifice hitting is an art acquired
perfectly only after months and months
OF practice" said Jimmy Sheckard, Of
the Chicago Cubs. recently TO a Chicago
critic. NO player can walk out 20 the
plate and lay down a bunt which will
advance another runner unless he has
tried his skill along that particular line
hundreds Of times. The big leagues
today number more successful sacrifice
hitters than in any previous season
The champion lons-distance sacrifice
story comes out Of the Southern Asso-
citation. Here it is:
II seems that there was a man on
first in a particularly close game and
the batter going 10 the plate was in
structed to lay down a bunt. He put a
roller toward third. the first baseman
was drawn in and the second baseman
rushed over 10 cover first. The third
sacker picked up the ball and pegged 10
first. Everybody saw the bail on the
way.
It hit the first baseman's glove and
disappeared When the hunt for the
ball began the first runner was hugglnS
second, while the batter overran first
and stumbled and fell in right field
He quickly arose. retOuched first and
sailed on down TO second and persuaded
the other man to hustle along ahead Of
him home with the winning runs.
The fans and players thought the ball
was lost in the grass and finally il
was found in right field- How IL got
there was a mystery until the man who
hit the bunt explained 1t appeared that
the ball bounded from the second base
mans glove up under the runners arm
as he sprinted past the bag.
The runner closed his arm down tight,
kept on running. gave a stage fall out
in right field, and at the same time let
the ball roll away from him The right
fielder wasn't wise 10 the inside" play
and no one woke up until the hitter
walked out to the right field, dug around
in the high grass and finally located

JEANETTE PICKS
JEFFRIES TO WIN

NEW YORK, June 27.-Joe jeanette,
the big negro heavyweight, who has
been fighting successfully in Paris, de-
clared today that Jim Jefries would
whip Jack johnson inside of ten rounds.
As Jeanette has fought Johnson six
times, he has a fine line on the negro
champions points Jeanette gained one
decision over johnson On a foul, fought
him once TO a draw. and the other fights
were no decision" affairs.
Jeanette says Jeffries has the strength,
the endurance, perfect knowledge Of the
fighting game, and head" why,
Jeffries can lose half his strength, have
his endurance cut half in two. carry
ton Of extra weight, and still whip John
son. He has the head and the heart 10
do it." jeanette said today.
7 think Johnson will make Jeffries
look awkward for a couple Of rounds,
for he is a wonderfully Skillful boxer.
Then Jeffries will wade right in and
beat him to a fragile. Johnson can not
stand the GAIT A couple Of blows TO
the stomach and he begins TO wilt. JEFF
fries will land those two blows and then
whip Johnson as he pleases-"
