sAeAcITY OF THE SHEEP

A well-known Australian naturalist
writes in the March Wide World Mag
azine: whilst in a Victorian township
recently. 1 had the privilege of photo
graphing a sheep which had achieved
quite a reputation, and which under
similar conditions, would in-prlmitive
ages probably have been held sacred.
The sheep is usually supposed to be
the most stupid of animals, but these
are the facts Of this particular case
A beautiful child, four or five years
old, was stricken down by a serious
illness. Upon missing the child, its in
separable companion the sheep at once
commenced a systematic investigation
Of yards, barns, and roads. Meeting
with no success, the anxious animal III
timately entered the house, bleating
inquiringly, pushed open the door Of
the once merry little lads bedroom,
and approached the bed, where it show
cd obvious signs of delight that its per
severance was at last rewarded. After
that the faithful creature watched re-
gularly at the front door bleating Gag
erly for entrance. sad to relate, the
little lad died. The sheep seemed to
know that something unusual had oc-
CURED, and, when at length the cof-
fin was placed in the hearse, followed
behind it among a crowd of mourners,
and refused to be turned away from
the cemetery gates When the coffin
was lowered into the grave, the animal
stood disconsolately beside it, feebly
bleating. The grief-stricken mother as
sured me that she believed no mourn
or. comparatively speaking, grieved
more deeply for the child than his pet
sheep.

Timely singles by Ownby and FLAG

ninth won the third straight game for
the Ottumwa Red Sox from the Center
vile club Sunday at the latter place.
This ending of contest witnessed by
$50 fans came as a bitter pill to the
Centerville fans and players. as it was
the third straight defeat they suffered
at the hands Of the city champions OF
Ottumwa. The game started with the
Sox in the lead two points but in the
third inning, Centerville forged ahead
one point This trio of scores by the
Centerville contingent, only furnished
a cue for the Ottumwans to get &C.
tive. and three singles and Ownby's
double, netted three more Sox runs In
the fourth. Centerville tied it up in
the seventh when the Sox infield went
up in the air behind Rntter, who went
to the mound in the sixth when Toole
retired of his own volition. With the
score even, Capt T. Price put big Roy
Huddleston in the center in the eight,
and his curves were poison to the Ap-
panoose county gents. The game was
won in the ninth, which Putnam
started with fly to right. Ownby
singled and stole second Falctiff's
rap for a sack put Ownby on third.

: LAJoIE GIVEN 8 HITS
Ahead by Unofficial Figures; Scandal
Brews az Browns Are Said to
Have Laid Down."

LaJoie .................. 3s2:4
Cobb .3S1:i
ST. Louis, Oct. 10.-Napoleon Lajole
finished his seasons batting record
Sunday in double-header with the
Browns by being presented with eight
safe hits in eight times at bat and I'M
official averages give the Frenchman
lead of little less than one point
over Tyrus Cobb Of Detroit in the race
for the automobile offered to the lead
I ing batter in the American and Ma
tional leagues this season.
Laioie was credited with four hits
in as many tries in the first battle and
the same number in the second contest
out Of five times at bat. His one fail
ure during the afternoon to punch out
safe hit came in the third inning of
1.-THE second game, when he was credited
with sacrifice. And none of the hits
was the result of bad scoring or
favoritism.
1t was simply case of where La
joie hunted the ball safely down to
Corridor at third no less than six
times and once to Wallace and beat
every one of them out, while his other
hit went for triple to center. Even
this drive was misjudged and played
badly by Northern.
The race for the auto dwindled down
to cobb and Lajoie with Cobb having
a big lead up to today. 1t was re-
ported that Lajoie would have to Sc
cure eight hits to beat out Cobb. This
Lajoie did, although big scandal will
likely result from the way the French
man was credited with the safe drives.
The Browns seemed to have planned
in advance Of the game to allow La
ioie to beat out Cobb, as the chesty
Detroit player is not popular here
while Lajoie is held IN high esteem and
every one wanted the Clevelander to
finish ahead of Cobu. Had the Browns
fielders made any real effort for La
joie's drives it is claimed they could
easily have retired him on several
occasions.
