Makes Battind Record.

The feat of Catcher McKelvey oi
Minneapolis in an exhibition game at
Evansville is a record for modern
days, at least. McKelvey corralled
six hits, four home runs, a two-sacker
and a single in six times at plate.
In 1899 in six times at bat, Ginger
Beaumont, then with the Pirates, got
six hits, but there were no four
sackers among them. Delehanty Of
Philadelphia in 1896 in five times at
bat got four homers and one single.
Bottenus Of Buffalo in 1895 comes
nearest to equaling McKelvey's rec
ord. In five times at bat he got four
homers and tWo-bagger. McKelyey
also holds the record for the greatest
number of bases scored on hits in one
game. He has 19 bases as his record.
Bottenus comes next with Is bases.

Ingenious Wisconsin Boys Make the
Machine Do Work While They

Milwaukee, Wis.-Boys whose main
idea is to avoid work are full of in
yentive genius when it comes to a
matter of getting something or some
body to do their work for them. Two
boys living in the rural districts Of
northern Wisconsin through ingenuity
prompted by laziness made a phono-

used the machine until they had be-
come tired of the canned songs and
then put 1t aside and amused them
selves playing checkers. They found

Teacher Kills 27 Snakes,

Indianapolis, Ind.-Mary Jenkins, q
young Posey county school teacher,
in the afternoon recess recently was
attracted by the frightened screams
of her pupils Rushing out she found
them standing in excited groups talk

the grass fairly alive with black
snakes. She seized a poker and a
shovel and beat them right and left.
Some showed fight, but with the sharp
end of the shovel the teacher cut of
their heads. With the poker she kept
them from harming her. The fight
was short and swift. At the finish q
