BOY SCOUTS TO PROTECT BIRDS
Devils Lake Boy Scouts Interested ir
Protection of Wild Birds.

The Devils Lake Boy Scouts are be
coming interested in the protection of
Wild birds.
The scouts are urged to help in con-
serving the birds of the country. It is
one of the principles of the boy scouts
VOW to be kind to animals, and for the
same reason the boys are taught the
value of birds to the country. Ernest
Harold Baynes, naturalist and bird fan
cier Of Meriden, N. H., is giving lee
lures to the boy scouts on birds. In
tese lectures he outlines the use Of
birds to the farmer. He tells Of the
harm that hunters do to the country.
He has urged the boys in the winter
time when snow covers the ground to
see to it that the birds get crumbs, and
likewise, he has applied to the boys to
do everything within their power TO
prevent other boys and men from shoot
ing birds. He also wants the boys to
appeal to their mothers not to wear
feathers in their hats.
Col Theodore Roosevelt, honorary
vice president of the Boy Scouts of
America, is thoroughly interested in
the organization and always utilities
an opportunity to say a cheering word
to the boys. Recently in Spokane he
said: The boys and girls of today will
as the men and women of tomorrow
determine the destiny of our people;
and I hail this boy scout movement
because in that organization we teach
our boys just what they ought to be
taught, namely, courage and self-re-
lance. Furthermore, the boy scouts
are taught to be courteous and helpful
| to others. There is not a lesson more
necessary for us of this great democ-
racy to learn than that our own self
respect demands that we be courteous
to others.
"Our great republic must depend for
its perpetuity upon the development Of
the two qualities in each individual Of
capacity for self-help and capacity to
join with others in doing the work that
must be done by collected action; cap
acity on the part each citizen to act
for himself and to act with his fellow
citizens in the things that concern all
all Of u.s.

UhIan Breaks Worlds Trotting Record
Stepped Half Mile Wagon in 56 IA Seconds C1eve- land Grand Circuit-Ath1etics Win and Lose-Magee Goes Back in the Game Next Week


 Cleveland, Aug. 1.-The grand cir cult races at the North Randall track came to an end in a blaze of glory to- day when c. K. G. Billings black trot- ting gelding Uhlan stepped a half mile to wagon in the open in 56 IA sec OndS.
 This bettered the record of one min ute flat established by Major Delnlar at the old Glenville track here on July S1, 1906, by 3-4 seconds, and estab lished mark that will probably stand for generations to come.
 Horsemen who witnessed the attempt are of the opinion that had Uhlan tried for the worlds trotting record to sulky. as it was originally announced he would do. he would undoubtedly have set new staqdard for trotting horses.
 The gelding was in superb form and MT. Billings himself drove. The start was made from the half mile pole 50 that the crowd might witness the finish in front Of the grandstand. Doc" Tan ner. the geld7ng's trainer, drove a run-- ner alongside. The first quarter was made in 2s 1-2 ana the second in 27 3-4.

THE PRIZE FREAK PLAY.
Tho Fans Are Still Figuring Out What
 Happened in Texas Game.

Bases full, two men out, batter sing gles to center field, man from third but neglected to touch third base, ball is fielded to third. How would you score that play?
 The prize peculiar play of the year involving the aforementioned episodes was pulled off by the San Antonio club of the Texas league last Saturday. Ever since. the scribes in the Pan- handle and elsewhere have been busy explaining how it all happened.
 In the eighth round of a close bat tie, Thrailllill inhabited third base, Toner second and Spencer first. Dar- finger poled a single to center field. All hands commenced to run. Thrail- kill crossed the plate successfully and so did Toner, who inhabited second when the smash occurred.
 Observant hired hands for the op- position noticed that Toner neglected to touch third base. Hastily the sphere was cast to the man who guarded that station What do you suppose the result was? If you read this and know a friend who didn't, go out and try it on him. You'd get dozen an- SWerS.
 Delving into the code prescribed for baseball com bats, which, by the way, is very deficient in some respects and quite clear in this. you will find rule 59 covers the point and says:
 One run shall be scored every time 8 base runner, after having legally touched the first three bases, shall legally touch the home base; provid- ing, however, that if he reach home on or during a play in which the third man be forced out or be put out before reaching first base, a run shall not count. A force-out can be made only when base runner legally loses the right to the base lss occupied and is therehV obliged to Vacate.'
 The rub. in the Texas plan was this: Toner, who occupied second base, neV- CT did touch third. He cut that bag and continued to the plate. Not hav- ing touched third, when the ball was returned to that base he was out, and the same situation prevailed as though he had still still at second while Daringers- most excellent safe knock fell safe.
 Therefore, the side was retired on a force-out. Toner being required to run, but not making the next base before the ball reached it, due to his neglect in overstepping the bag. Daringer' g safe hit went only for a time at bat, and iie was charged with same, being deprived of his just dues. a safety, through the oversight of his associ- ate.
 Think it over, and if you know a friend who is a fan, try t out on him and listen for his answer.

RUSIE WAS A MARVEL,
While He Lasted-Now He's in the
 WIds.

Old ball players who think the na- tional game now cannot compare with what it was in the good old days are claiming that Amos Rusie was greater than any of the present corps of twirlers. not even excepting the great Mathewson.
 Amos won the reputation of being the speediest man that ever whipped over curve His shoots didn't die out when the break came. but just are spinning yet. However this may be Amos was a dealer in diamond lightning, and everybody knew it, and very few wanted any of his game ex- eept the fans who famed for New York. and these wanted Rusie made president of the league, or of the United States, or something.
 The big fellow went on his tri- umphant way until one day in a game against Chicago he ripped over Bill Langa mapping. but instead he did something to his arm that put it out of business, and he is out in the northwest now. broken both in health and finances.
 While he lasted he was a wonder He led the National league in pitch ing in 1897, and ne did many a brave thing that doesn't show on the rec ords. From the time he was kiddy out in Mooresvilie, Ind. he was base Ddil lVollSn ana DdSeDdIl 1lNSnCN. w neO he first visited Indianapolis he went to work in a lounge factory, but his real mission in life was winning games for the Never Sweats of the city league of Indianapolis. He start ed out as an outfielder, but there came time when the Nevers' pitcher had to quit and Amos went in and won the game and. pitched from that time on
 Old Jack Glasscock, then captain of the Indianapolis team, glimpsed the big young man with the marvellous short throwing arm and had con- yielded and joined out with Indianap- olis after he had gone against Wash- fngton in an exhibition game and cleaned up to 3, and this at the ten- got down to practice with the Indian apolis team, then owned by John r. Brush. he was so wild that they thought Of putting him in a cage and labelling it Caught in Borneo," but in stead they just farmed him out and let them. He went into seven game and won six, losing the other by the tight score of 1 to 0. Then Brush burned up the wires and Rusie came back to fast folks
 His first big job came against New York and he whipped Tim Keefe to the tune of 4 to ?. and this gave him confidence and put the same into his management. After a while he was sold to the New York club and pitch ed to such purpose that New York finished second to Baltimore. and when these two went into the Temple cup series New York romped away with four strs fight. and much Of it was Rusie.
 About this time they got the hasi. of issuing Rusis extras and calling cigars after him and somebody that had the cash and the yen for the ser vices of a. champion sent in an offer of S20,000 in real money for Amos Rusie. Andy Friedman laughed in the face of the offer and said $50,000 wouldn't. part him from his pet. He. wasn't parted

Sam Langford will not make 168 pounds for his coming match with Philadelphia. Jack O'Brien before the Twentieth Century A. c. It would be next to impossible for the Boston Tar Baby to get down to such a figure. and although O'Brien first demanded the middleweig gllt figure, he obHgingly withdrew this stipula ton when he saw that it would prevent a match. The O'Brien may spring a surprise, as he did in his memorable encounter with the late Stanley KetcheI O'Brien was finally defeated in that bout, but he. gave a great exhibition, and went down with all colors flying.
