uthe crowd had.
ard the close of the game and Cobb

the close of the game and Cobb l
was on first. +,
"'Step off and let them tag you out,
Ty. For heavens sake, finish it, said
Bill Donovan, who was coaching from
first. And Ty grinned and stepped
from the bag with his hands at his
side, awaiting the ball. And right
here that tired crowd was electrified
by the most sensational base running
l had seen that year.
"As the catcher shot the ball to first
Ty started. He was caught off the
bag and started to zigzag back and
forth, with the whole inield chasing
him. Back and forth he lodged. Cobb
made one of his famous 'dipseydo'
dives and was safe at second.
""Why didn't you get out as you
agreed tor Ty was asked after the
game.
"'Well, I started to, all right said
the Georgian, but, gee whiz, after ]
stood there a second and saw that ball
coming l couldn't do it. I just couldn't
stand still and let them throw me
out
His love Of the game was so strong
that he couldn't stand it. He had to
fight back whether be wanted to or
not,
Nerve and love Of the game for the
game itself are the main things in a
ball players makeup. And next there
Is Imagination. Confidence breeds con-
hdence. The player who can think of
victory, see it coming against all
odds, is the valuable man for a ball
team. Let me recall an incident In
that seventeen inning game in Phila-
delphia when the Tigers showed the
followers of the game that they were
on earth to stay, It was growing
darker and darker. We had fears that
the game would have to be called be-
fore we could win it. It was about
the fourteenth inning. No man on
that club had the slightest idea Of be-
ing beaten. Some one dared to sug-
gest that it was growing darker. Her
man Schaefer few into a rage.
""Tisn't growing darker he bel.
lowed with all the strength Of his
good lungs. 4 say It isn't. It's grow,
ing lighter every minute, every min,
ute. It's getting lighter and lighter,
nrd wen win out If 1t takes us thirty
Innings
"Good old schsef. He was so sure OF
victory that he wouldn't ever tolerate
any one thinking that the sun was
bound to set eventually; that It didn't
stay up simply because the game was
a big one, And I guess we all thought
that that game was considerably more
important than the conduct of the
world and the universe In general"

A Marvel Of Insect Mechanism.

The sting OF a certain Indian fly of
fers as marked an example of design
in nature as can well be imagined.
When seen through a magnifying glass
it is found to be composed of three
sharp blades folded into one with
their cutting edges outward and run
ming down to one fine point When
the fly inserts this up to the hilt in its
victim the three blades fly apart, and
then 1t is seen that each inner edge IS
a beautiful saw, worked by six sep
arate muscles, so that when with
drawn the instrument rips its way out
with q gush of blood. But now comes
the most curious provision of all. 1t
would not do to fold up these blades
with the blood adhering to them, 50
each blade is provided at its base with
a fine brush Of hairs growing out Of
an oil gland, which provides an anti
septic secretion to keep the blades
clean.

Hard to Kill.

An alligator's tenacity Of life is re-
markable. 81 remember n time,'
says an English traveller in India, II
was with a shooting party on the
Ganges, when the natives brought in
a six foot alligator. They hoped some
one would want to buy it; but no n
did, so 1t was determined to kill the
creature. 1t was hauled out of the
tank and tied to a tree. Bullets from
a small rife or an ordinary twelve bore
gun seemed to only irritate the sau-
rian, and he did not seem to care very
much when a native thrust a spear
down his throat. Finally they were
obliged to get axes and chop off its
head, Even then the tail thrashed
around, and the body was almost cut
to pieces before all movement ceased"

CASE
IS BEING TRIED
New Brunswick Man Was
Tilted and Got Gay.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, July 90
Alexander Margette or Margatch,
who has been in Jail since May 81,
because he displayed his feelings by
trying to shoot up Somerset street,
after he had been rejected in mar
riage by a comedy Hungarian girl,
instead of going into decline, as is
the popular way in love novels, faced
a jury on a charge of assault and
carrying concealed weapons in court
today.
The trial was commenced yester-
day afternoon with the drawing of
a jury. There was some delay be-
of the non-appearanCe of for
mer Judge C. T. Cowenhoven, coun-
sci for the man, who was engaged
In a case at Trenton. AS it was the
last case for trial for some time, and
as the court and prosecutor did not
want to bring back the whole panel
to pick a jury, it was decided to
draw the jury in the presence of the
defendant and a counsel assigned to
look after his interests for the af-
ternoon and delay swearing the jury
until morning.
The Jury.
But at the physiological moment
Judge Cowenhoven arrived in court
and plunged right into the case, af-
ter apologizing to the court for his
hardness. The following jury was
selected:
Peter C. Conover, S~ayreville;
Frank Van Nuts, Charles Braun,
Edward Britton, James
Runyon, John McMullen, S. J..
Shuck, New Brunswick; George Ev-
eritt, Frank e. DeGraw, South Am
boy; John Donohue, Highland Park;
George st. Andrassy, Perth Amboy;
D. Stryker, South Bruins
wick.
Jury Disagreed.
The petit jury, not engaged in the
dargatch case, was discharged yes
erday afternoon until called for.
There will be no trials until after
August 16, as Judge DAILY expects to
re away during the first part of Au-
'ust.

GIRLS STORY
SHOCKS COURT
Two Young Women Sent to
State Home for Girls.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

StNNHNf w
New Brunswick, July 26:-Victo-
ria Kish, the fffteen-year-old daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Elizabeth Kish, of 231
Nelson street, and Lizzie Duaks, or
Backa, Of Keasbey, were sentenced
to the State Home for Girls yester-
day afternoon by Judge DAILY. The
Kish girl was taken over to the in
stitution yesterday afternoon, while
the Keasbey girl, who is n year
older, was detained here to appear
as a witness against a Hungarian
Gypsy musician who was arrested
yesterday afternoon on a charge Of
carnal abuse. The girl had been
found in company with this man
early Sunday morning.
The testimony given at the hear
ing of the girls in court yesterday af-
ternoon was of a shocking nature.
The girls told how they had been
harbored in a house at Washington
and Nelson streets and told of con-
ditions which astonished those who
heard the testimony, 1t is likely
that there will be other charges
growing out of the story of how these
young girls were encouraged to lead
Maynard lives.
Victoria Kish was inclined to
shield those who had led to her down
fall, but the Duaks girl was willing
tell all about her life. The Kish
girl seemed to dominate the other
and 1t was decided to separate them
at once.
Mrs. Kish was willing yesterday to
forgive her daughter and take her
back to her home If she would prom
ise to become a good girl, but the
girl rejected the offer and declared
that she would rather stick to her
chum, Lizzie, than return to the pro-
lection Of the parental roof.

HUSBAND MAS DESERTED
Special TO the EVENING NEWS.

Metuchen, July 26:-Recorder Z.
c. Weber was appealed to b. a very
pretty young woman with a cunning
little baby nine months old, the
mother claiming that the husband
and father had left them alone in
the world without any means Of sup
port. The magistrate referred the
young woman to Overseer of the
Poor James A. Grimsteed, through
whom the borough could render as
sistance. That official has taken hold
of the case and it is understood the
husband is to be brought into court
on a warrant which Marshal Souratt
has in his inside pocket. The charge
is non-support. The young people
are of good family and the man
holds a good position in Plainfeld.

MUCH JENNINGS
ON BALL PLAYING
DatrOltS' Leader Declares No

Says Star Outfelder lie In Love With

mo coward ever made a success Of
baseball" says Hughie Jennings. "The
FIRST great requisite to success in the
game is nerve. l have seen players
with the speed of Cobb, with the ter
rife hitting strength Of Crawford, with
the grace Of Chase, and they did not
make good. They lacked the prime es-
sential, s~toutness Of heart. They
wavered when the crisis came. 1 have
seen wizards of the game culver in the
heat of battle and lose their cunning.
They didn't last long; they never do.
ITO begin with, of course, a man must
have the natural ability to hit, field
and run. And then comes imagination.
Give me the player who can conceive
plays, who thinks all the time he is in
the game-and who doesn't stop think
Ing when it is over, but keeps his mind
on 1t and goes over every play of the
afternoon, recalling how he made this
mistake and how he could have avoid
ed it, and of how he pulled off that
play and the reason Of it.
THE ball player who doesn't love his
game isn't worth his salt. He's getting
away with 1t under false pretenses.
when l Joined the old Baltimore
team l was young. at an age perhaps
when early impressions stick strong
est, but all through my life as a ball
player and manager l have always felt
that the club handled by Ned Hanlon
was the greatest team ever organized.
I recall with what enthusiasm Johnny
McGraw, Bill Keller, Wilbur Robin
son, Doyle and the rest Of US used to
study our game under the careful, pa
tent guidance of Ned Hanlon.
"On the trains, in the corridors of the
hotels, and often in bed at night, when
we should have been sleeping, we were
discussing plays, arguing over them
and planning for the game of tomor-
row. No other subject was ever dis

II you should put Cobb on a team to
which no money was paid he would
play just as hard, once he donned his
uniform. a sample of this is shown in
an incident hat happened at Bennett
park in one of the games a year ago.

KISSING Ethel,

She was f~ashionably dressed and
gave out the perfume Of violets as the
brakeman turned to help her up the
steps Of the train which was due to
leave. Turning to her maid, she said:
