HIT BALL so HARD
1T NEVER CAME BACK
LAUREL HID PLAYER SENDS
SPHERE INTO CREEK IN GAME
WITH DUNLAP.

In a olose and exciting game. de-
spite the cold weather. the Laurel
HIN team defeated the Dunlaps by
the score of 2 to 0. John Pollard, an
ex-Petersburg High School star. was
in the box for Laurel Hill and only
allowed one scratch hit; while Joe Ar
rington was touched up for eight
safeties.
The game went eleven innings with
out any scoring, when Russell VII
Hams singled, stole second and cam
in on Ham Arnalls home run, this

McAleer has certainly dug up a real
player in Outfielder Swain from Oak
land. OF the California League. writes
an expert from the Washington train
ing camp. Everybody expected to
see a giant in Swain. but when he ar
rived he didn't look much bigger than
Street, though heavier In the shoul-
ders. He arrived Saturday night from
Oakland and was right on hand to
greet Manager McAleer. Swain IL six
feet one half inch IN height. and to-
day tipped the scales at 202 pounds.
McAIeer has eleven men who will try
for the outfield positions. and only one
OF these, Clyde Milan, has q cinch on
his job. The others are Gessler. Lelt-
welt. Raiston. Corbin. Miller. Keefe,
Conway. Sehasfer. Conroy and Swain.
A remarkable performance in the
pitching line Is credited to Beding-
ford, of Daniel Baker College. Brown
wood. Tex. in a recent game. He
struck out &c men in g. nins-inninE
game against Howard Payne College.
Thirty-one men faced the pitcher In
the nine innings-one got hit. one
was hitched by a pitched ball and two
went safe on errors. Bedingheid has
been signed to pitch this season by
the Joplin, Mo-, club, having been
recommended by William Settley, the
we'll known umpire. who has acted as
coach of the college baseball team
this season. The new light in the
pitching world liz six feet three inches
in height and weighs ITO pounds.
Charles l.. snyder. ex-coach of the
Texas crack team. who has seen Bed
ingfield pitch. says he has the real
stuff and is bound to be heard from.
| on the same day that the pitching
performance was recorded, Dewitt
Cook, OF the same college team, cir
cled the bases In 10 1-5 seconds--also
a remarkable record.

After the circus parade had passed yesterday" wearily said the landlord of the Polkville (Ark. ] tavern, 'them two young ladies, Maxine and Lucille, that wait table here, got into sort of dispute over which of 'em it was that the clown had winked at, each claimin' the credit, or discredit, I don't know which. One illustrated her views by beating the other over the head with the dinner bell, while the other voiced her opinion with a ketchup bottle. Of course l understand how being working ladies, they resent all insinuations that they are in any way my interiors but still after tho ketchup bottle had spread most of its contents over the scene and the clapper had flown out of the bell and broken a window I sorter felt called upon to interfere and stop the fracas.

BUT BOOKS LIVE ON.

Many a man lives burden to the earth but a good book is the pre- cious life blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on pur- pose to a life beyond life. It is true no age can restore life where of, perhaps, there is no great loss, and revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labors of public men, how we spill that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books, since we see kind of homi- eide may be thus committed, some- times martyrdom, and, if it extend to the whole impression, kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the staying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essense, the breath of reason it. self stays an immortality rather than life.-Milton, Areopagitica.

TIMBER LASTS LoNs.

The average life of Australian timbers naturally varies greatly, be- ing dependent on situation and cli- mate. In western Australia jarrah bridge piles have been taken up per fectly sound after being 45 years in the ground, while instances are on record where the ironbark, redgum and gray box of the eastern states in similar situations have been discov- cred to have an equally long life. In the more humid parts of Queensland the life of bridge piles varies greatly, but 1t may be said to extend from fifteen to over thirty years.

FOOD or RUSSIAN HoRsEs.

1 Oats constitute three-fourths of the food upon which the Russian horse must exist during the twelve months of the year. Russian oats, however, are far superior in sustain- hng power to the American cereal. It is also claimed that animals do not become so tired of this steady diet as they do of the hay and corn products in the United States. This statement is made by an American with years experience in horse breed ing and training in Russia.
