rats are a great nuisance, the common
cat does not thrive. but is replaced by

causes a decidedly unpleasant sensa-

first they come in contact with the
creature.
Giboias are a species of small boa
constructor employed very generally in
Brazil for the purpose above men,
toned They are not at all venomous.
They sleep in the house, generally
taking up their position at the foot Of
the stairs. When nightfall approaches
they begin to wake up, and during the
night they slide swiftly about the
premises. looking for rats.
Giboias are offered for sale in the
markets Of Bahia and Pernambuco for
prices ranging from 81 to So, accord

A GOOD ONE ON CONNIE

Hugh Fullerton tells story on
Connie Mack, manager Of the
worlds championship Philadel-
phia American club. During the
celebration in Philadelphia Of
the Athletics victory In the
worlds championship series the
entire city was given over to the
affair and honors were being
heaped upon Connie. Mack was
the biggest man in Philadelphia
at that time, and every man of
wealth and prominence In every
line counted 1t an honor to sit
with him. He was at one Of the
swell Philadelphia clubs as
guest of member when stran-
ger, who also was visitor ut
the club, was led forward and
introduced.
"This is Mr.. Mack" said the
host to the stranger.
I'm pleased" said the stran-
ger. shaking the extended hand.

minors because he hasn't shown any
form. With his new intielders and
outfelders il is much the same way,
Many n baseball star has gone along
for weeks before suddenly flashing out
and showing his real class.
With Jennings 1t is different. While
his seven rivals are worrying about
not being able to give each one of the
recruits the proper amount of study,
Jennings simply smiles and sits back
calmly to judge each youngster on his
individual merit.
While victory is always sweet to
him, the loss of one. two or even more
games Is nothing vital with the lead
he has. He can afford to take chances.
He can send youngsters in to pitch
day after day until they have all
shown him not once but many times
what they can do in the box. and un
der safe cover of that lead he can ex-
pertinent too. He can work all sorts
Of plans out on his team with never
fear of having some other team over
haul him.
This does not mean much now, but
in the midseason to come 1t does, for
then, while other managers are worry
ing because their veterans are show
ing signs of firing after their hard
spring service. his should be in the
best of condition. because In getting
into shape in the early stages they
were not overworked. And while 9th
er managers have not dared to try out
new men or new plans OF attack and
defense he has been developing his
team along these lines.
It's not the lead they have now that
counts: its how that lead will affect
the play of the Tigers in July and Au
gust and September that worries the
men who figure on passing Detroit.

Norfolk Wins AGAINST Pierce.

Roy Bovee, the former Norfolk boy
but now Pierce's star pitcher, was
hammered for seven hits by the locals
on the driving park diamond Sunday
afternoon, and his team lost to Nor
folk by the narrow margin of A to 3.
Bovee pitched a splendid game, but
his teammates fumbled the ball occa-
sionally, and with heavy northwest
wind in favor of both teams, the game
was played with great excitement.
Denton, the little high school boy
pitcher, battled against men of expert
ence, but Pierce only netted five hits
from him and he only allowed one
base on balls, while his more expert
enced opponent gave the locals two
bases on balls.
Bovee and his team came to Nor
folk with many Pierce fans and up to
the first of the seventh the score stood
to l in Pierce's favor. Several err
rors on the part of Norfolk's intield

sixth. Schwerin and Person, who UNI
