a Knock That Wrecked a Door and

Bome of the inns of modern China
are badly built. The correspondent of
the London Times in travelling across
the country recently had this expert
ence: cat only n village had l any
difficulty. We were marching late in
the dark, and 1 had sent my groom
ON ahead to find me an inn, as he had
often done before. He entered the
village, and, finding the large inn door
closed, he called out to the people to
open 1t. But his Picking speech Is not
easily understood in Kansu, and no one
answered him. Then he knocked, and
to his dismay the crazy door fell down.
Immediately there was a row. The
innkeeper and his voeiferous spouse
shouted out their wrongs.
Every one came into the street to
hear; the whole village was reused.
When / arrived it seemed like a dem
onstration In my honor. AS is the
custom, a dozen people together told
me what had happened. l SOC salts

A RECORD IN HITTING.
Deiehanty's -Four Homers and a Single
In Five Times at Bat.

In Five Times at Bat.
The baseball expert Hugh s. Fuller
ton, In an article on Batting" In the
American Magazine, describes as fol
lows the greatest hitting feat recorded.
executed by Ed Delehanty. and which
1t was his good fortune to witness:
"Adonis Terry was pitching-a great
pitcher with a wonderfully fast curve
ball-and three of the home runs were
made off the curve. The first time
at bat Delehanty hit the ball high over
the right field fence, perhaps seventy
feet from the foul line, which would
be 245 feet from the plate, and the
fence was ~thirty-fve feet high. The
second time he hit over the same fence,
but farther toward center field. The
third time he drove a single W short
stop, a line hit and perhaps the hard
est hit of all. Dahlen, leaping, touched
the ball with both hands. They were
torn apart and the ball earomed al
most TO the left ielders before 1t struck
the ground. The next home run was
straight to the center field between
the e~lubhouses, nearly 400 feet away.
The last time he came to the bat the
crowd was cheering him on. Lange
retired between the elubhouses, which
were set at angles. Delehanty hit a
curve ball. 1t alighted on the roof OF
oae clubhouse, bounded to the roof OF
the other and rolled halfway back to
the second baseman. And yet Chicago
won the games to 6.
