"Fixina" the Ball Grounds.

Hugh S. Fullerton, the baseball ex,

Of the queer ethics of the national
game He writes:
"'Fixing' the grounds-se as to give
the home team the advantage and
handicap the visiting players is tho
commonest form Of trickcry, yet in
professional ball it is not considered
wrong, any more than Il commander
of defensive army would consider
it wrong TO prepare breastworks To
meet an enemy. The extent to which
the fixing Of grounds is carried is
amazing There probably is not a
major or minor league grounds in the
country or which the home players
have not the advantage, and visiting
teams are forced to be on the alert
from the moment they enter field
to discover, if possible, what they are
up against"

A MOUNTAIN RESCUE.
Presence of Mind That Stopped Slide
TO Death,

to Death.
On entering central Asia after trip
across India Major r. L. kennion
witnessed a rescue which was due to
the quickness of decision and prompt
action Of a native. The story is given
in sport and Life IN the Farther
Himalayas." The party had started
to climb over the pass called Mintaka
by moonlight The cold was intense
and the way slippery and uncertain.
No one having crossed the pass that
year, the guide took wrong line aud
led us across an ice slope that was
concealed by snow The first l knew
Of it was seeing his dim figure begin
TO Slide downward, first slowly, then
more rIpidly. We were not roped,
and as his pace increased it seemed
that nothing on earth could save him.
Near the end Of my line, however,
carrying load, was a man of Hunza,
whose quickness to grasp the situa-
ton was only equaled by his resource.
Dropping his load, he sprang out on
to 4 projecting point Of rock near
which the man would pass, and as he
slid by with the point Of his native
made ice AK he gated him in his loose
clothing as you might a salmon. 1t
was most clererly and promptly done.
