The bearers OF stretcher should be
as near the same height as possible.
IL there is any difference the taller
and stronger man should be at the
head. A stretcher should be carried
by the hands or suspended by straps
from the shoulders. Never carry a
stretcher when loaded upon the shout
ders. It frightens the patient. and he
might fall of very easily. especially IL
one OF the bearers should stumble. The
bearers should not keep step. but break
step. the one in front starting off with
bis right foot and the one behind with
his left. The injured should be car
ried feet first. In going up hill or up
stairs the head should be In front and
the reverse In descending, except In
case Of a broken thigh or leg. when
the feet should be first In going up and
last In coming down to keep the

When a Dou' Chokes.

Dogs frequently choke. A bone, q

Many Of them do die, but there is no
reason for this. for it is easy, without
the slightest danger Of getting bitten.

and to draw cut or push down the OBJ
struction that is choking it. A bandage
"a handkerchief or towel will do-is
passed between the teeth and over the
upper jaw, and in similar way anoth-
-er bandage is passed between the teeth
and over the uader jaw. One person,
holding the ends Of these two Band
ages. keeps the dogs mouth wide open.
a second person can then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers down
the animals throat and relieve it.

A Snake Story.

This story is told of the late DR..
Emil Reich. One day when travelling
he lay down to. rest in the shadow of
bush and fell asleep. He awoke with
a start to find that night was coming
on and that rain had begun to fall.
Quickly snatching up his umbrella. he
tried to open it and. finding it worked
stifdy- he pressed the spring vigorous

ripping and tearing and a snake fell to
the ground split in two. The reptile
had apparently swallowed the umbrel-

year. Somerlot hit ..9a. and stole thirty
three bases. while he had a fielding
average of $50, This is certainly
splendid showing. but of course il was
made in company that does not conf
pare with the American League. Somer-
lot showed during his short stay here
last fall that he could field and run bases,
but his style at the plate was not i'm
pressive. Instead of taking a good,
healthy swing, as one would expect from
a man of has physique. he seemed TO
push at the ball. probably thus assuring
hitting it. but not putting enough force
behind it to make him dangerous as
batter. He may. of course. improve
greatly in this respect and If he does he
will make good. for he can field the
position and uses excellent judgment on
the bases. Judgment on Somerlot cannot
hardly be passed until he has had fair
trial this spring. and McAleer has as
sured him that he will get II.

Improvement in the matter OF selecting
official scorers of the American League
little or nothing is to be gained by trying,
to keep the appointments secret. To be-
gin with. such matters are bound to leak
out. The object in adopting this plan
seems to he to prevent the scorers from
being Influenced by the players The
very suggestive OF such plan indicates
that the powers that he lack rondence
i'm the scorers. There may be few
who could be induced to give a player
a base hit. but the average run OF
scorers do not allow themselves to be
influenced to score a ball game from any
other angle than that furnished by their
own eyes and judgment.
If Ban Johnson VIII appoint competent
scorers he need not keep their identity
a secret, for they will do their duty IN
spite of any effort the players may mako

BY J. ED GRILLO.

One of the numerous complaints against
the umpires in the National League was
that Bob Emslie, the veteran of the staff.
had failing eyesight. This has been said
of Emslie for the past five or ten years.
and yet he participated in contest the
other day and acquitted himself SO well
that most any jury would decide he had
been falsely accused by the players and
fans OF the National League.
Emslie was one of the several con-
testants in live bird shoot held at st.
Thomas, Canada, the other day. Here is
an account of it.
HAS Bob Emslies eyesight gone back
on him?
1.-The National League magnates or
any other combination Of magnates who
might insinuate as much would be
laughed at by those who witnessed his
shooting in the live bird contest held at
Dutton.
THE veteran umpire and all-around
sportsman shot at ten birds and nit ever
one of them. and Furthermore, he was
the only man of a large party of ex-
pert shots to turn the trick.
The conditions for line shooting were
not the best, by any means. The ground
was covered with fresh. clean snow, light
nurries were drifting, and the birds them
selves were nearly all white. making it
a difficult matter to get a line on them.
All the shooters of the party gave Mr..
r.msile sreaI credit for his Work, and say
the pigeons were the keenest and fastest
lot of birds they ever encountered.
The shooters were stationed thirty
one yards from the traps and the pigeons,
the moment they were liberated. COM
menccd to beat it for all they were
worth, making the average distance at
which they We're winged something Ike
fifty yards. Some good scores were made
by the other competitors. but Mr.. Emsie
was the only one who got a perfect score.
IF the National League commission
hasn't anything more against Bob than
his alleged failing eyesight. ii is dead Ger
tain that he will continue to hold the in
dicator for many more years
1t is still even betting that If some of
the base ball critics will stand an eye
test along with Emslie he will beat them
to the mark.
A correspondent who objects to the
doubt expressed as to whether John SOM
erlot will make good or not points to the
youngsters record with Terre Haute last
