West caught well for the Bankers. not
a base being stolen on him.
Davis spoiled a three-bagger in the
fourth inning by cutting second base.
Shorty Hughes watches the game too
close to pull anything like that over on
him.
Every man on the American Security
team made two or more hits except West.
who only got one two-bagger. and with
the exception Of Johnston every man
scored two or more runs. Rawlings top
ping them all by counting five times.
Rob Roy Mackey, who officially relieves
the spectators Of their loose change. was
considerably disappointed, as he expect
ed to see a good game and get large
collection.
Mccarthy made the only extra base
hit for his team but it counted for moth
ing, as he was out trying to stretch It
int three-bagger.
Boykin did good work with the willow
cracking out two doubles and a single
in four trips TO the plate. made a sacri-
fee hit, and was hit once by a pitched
ball.
Thornberg struck out both times up,
but the first time he reached first when
the third strike was on the ground and
reeounded off Vests glove.
The umpiring Of Shorty Hughes was
very satisfactory. There was not a kick
registered by either side on decisions
on the bases or on balls and strikes.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Buscher handled four assists without
an error. and some OF them were hot.
There we're no ground rules in force in
yesterdays game, and probably will not
be during the section A series.
In the fifth inning a foul Off Mar
ceron's bat hit Umpire Billy Belts on
minutes while the popular arbiter hobbled
about to restore circulation in the injured
joint.
Belts fooled the crowd when he an
nounced the result Of the Washington
Cleveland game First he stated that the
game had gone eleven innings. and then
sung out, Washington, great hurrah
from the FANS; Cleveland, Cgroan from
everybody.
Merrill Vaughn played a great game
at third base. and handled his three
chances in a pretty manner.
Kinney Marceron, and Buscher each
made two hits
There we're no sacrifice hits. only one
extra base hit. no double plays. and the
losers had nine left on the bases.
The collection amounted 10 about $50.
The Commissioners had three on In the
second and fourth. but could not set the
needed bingle TO bring them across the
plate

went early to church were surprised
one Sabbath morning to see Aunt Bet
sy sitting away up in front, gray yarn
stockings in her hands and her knit
ting needles clicking merrily away as
she worked. The minister stopped in
surprise as he passed her on his way
to the pulpit, but the old lady was not
one whit disturbed by his disapprov-

complacently: Thought I'd knit a
stitch while the people are gathering.

to click her needles, while the Mortified

Dogs OF LUXURY.

The appearance Of little dogs as OBJ
jects of luxury goes back to the most
ancient times. Documents are not
wanting that go to show that Greek
and Roman women had little dogs
which were idolized by their mistress
es. Even men, particularly among for
eigners, were not ashamed to walk the
streets Of Rome with pet dogs under
their arms. Speaking Of this subject,
Plutarch relates that julius Caesar,
seeing one day in Rome some strangers
thus loaded with their dogs, asked
them ironically whether the women of
their country did not bear children.
Tertia, the daughter of Lucius Aure-
Illus Paulus, was so fond of her dog
that in the moment of bidding farewell
to her father, who was about to leave
his country and his family to wage
war against Perseus, king Of Macedo-
MIA, she frankly admitted that the sad
ness imprinted on her face was due to
the death Of her pet dog Persia. In
Europe the greyhounds were the first
favorites Of women during the middle
ages.-Boston Post. :..-.

Hard and Soft.


'What," asked the teacher, "does an
thracite mean?''
'That's kind Of COAL" said little
Willie.
Eyes. Anthracite coal is what we call
hard coal. So anthracite must mean
hard Now, can you tell me what
'bituminous' means?"
''That's coal, too," Willie replied.
"But it isn't the same kind of coal
that anthracite is, is. it? Bituminous
coal is what we commonly refer to as
soft coal. Now, Willie, let us see II
you can form sentence containing
the words anthracite and bituminous.'
Willie thought the matter over for q
minute and then said:
Here's one: This morning before
pa started downtown ma wanted IS fol
groceries and things, and she tried tt
get it by saying bituminous words, but
pa gave her an anthracite look, and
when he disappeared around the corne,
she was weeping bituminously.'
