NOTES OF THE GAME

Lakaff was good except in the sec
ond and fourth yesterday.
Hovlik had it on the Islanders. He
famed nine of them and nearly every
one pulled on bad throws that would
have been called balls.
1t may too early to talk, but it loohs
as though Stevens is getting back his
batting eye Four hits in the last TWO
days and the rest of his drives were
met on the nose.
Queisser played sensational ball oil
that he might get ready to pitch. His
stop of Hovlik's apparent hit in the
third inning was beauty.
Clynes made sensational catches ga
lore in the second game. He was
credited with seven putouts and all
but enc was on a hard chance. He
won applause for his work in nearly
every inning.
A dandy double retired the visitors
in the ninth inning of the first game
Vogel scooped McDonalds grounder,
threw quickly to Carney, forcing ia
cobs at second, and Bill hurried the
ball to first in time to get the run
ner
Queisser grabbed a scorching hot
liner off Myers bat in the ninth inn
ing. The crack of the bat and bal
was almost simultaneous with the
crack of the ball and Walters glove.
Ninety-nine out of 100 pitchers would
have let the drive go for a safe hit.

Of being somewhat stingy in money

Arrived at the station, he handed the
cabman a shilling and of course was
met by the inevitable demand for an
extra sixpence.

reply. "They say that Lord x. dropped
shilling coming across the park last
evening, and the gates are closed until
they find it."-London Tit-Blts.

glass windows, nor will they have any;
that the king has his meat

KinasIeY,s stammerina.

Charles Kingsley loved talking, had
an enormous deal to say on every con-
celvable subject and longed to say it.
But his stammer was always checking
him. He gurgled and gasped and
made faces and would sometimes
break of in a conversation or a meal,
rush out into the open air and liber
ate his suppressed emotions by rapid
exercise or physical exertion. Yet, as
has often been observed in similar
cases, when he had to preach the
stammer subsidized, and, though there
was some facial contortion, the flow
of the discourse was never interrupt
ed. He said to his friend Tom
Hughesi II could be as great talker
as any man in England but for my
stammering When 1 am speaking for
God in the pulpit or paying by bed

is blessed thing for me. 1t keeps me
