A Great Falls Hog Story.

According to q story told by S. H.
Spl ath, of Great Falls. the record for
fasting is held by one of his hogs
which was recently rescued from q
stu alton in which it had remained
over eleven weeks without food. The
story related by Mr.. Splath is to this
effect:
On December our men loaded out
a large shipment of hogs and it ap.
pears plank on the scales floor had
slipped. 1t was put back and nailed
down and no more was thought of it
till Sunday, when we were loading
out another lot, and my father hap
pened to be looking toward the scales
and thought he he saw something
move. An investig alton resulted and
there was live hog. a mere skeleton
of the fine porker we thought we had
shipped in December. weighing abou,
ninety pounds and anxious to eat any.
thing he could get his snout on. The
animal was given full feed and while
we won't apply for Carnegie meda al
for him. he will be kept on the farm q
while. at least till he gets fat. just
think, this hog was in sight of corn
bin, and was where he could hear the
corn being shoveled out aud water
pumped out all around him.
That he did not die is the wonder ot
the thing. He comes pretty near being
the prize shoat of all that my father
ever had an interest in. and he hal

w. x l.. IN TROUBLE :.
 ACCOUNT OF RAIN

Lexington, Va, April S.-(Special. .)-The team has been handicapped all spring by bad weather conditions. Last week the Swarthmore game, which was to have been the first of the season, was cancelled on account of snow. Lafayette, who was scheduled to play on Wilson Field April and 5, pulled out of Lexington yester- day morning for Easton, without having been able to play either game on account of rain. The games with the Eastonians were to have been the feature of the home schedule, and the cancellation was disappointment. Pennsylvania State played on Wilson Field April only and did well to play one game on account of the diamonds condition.
 In the first game of the year, when they defeated Roanoke college IS to 0, the boys looked better than last year. Six men obtained nine hits for IS bases. Err win, the stocky shortstop of last years nine, who "preped" at Andover, obtained four for 10 bases out of four times up, couting two home runs over the left field fence.
 The men are also speedy on the bases, pilfering nine off the Roanoke catcher. Waddil captain of last falls eleven, stole three. He is probably. the fastest man on the team, and can cover plenty of ground in center field.
 Harry Moran, the undefeated southpaw of last year, worked the first five in- nings, and Roanoke did not even hit a ball out of the diamond. while he himself hit a three-bagger to center field. With Efird alternating in the box, Washington and Lee has two college pitchers that can- not be equaled in this section of the coun-

1906 TEAM MADE LEADERS
Fly BILL AK

That was a wonderful team which rep resented Birmingham in the Southern league in 1906.
 You can take those players, one by one, and with the exception of a very few hardly man could come under the head of "phenorns."
 But it was a level-headed, evenly bal anced bunch.
 As a proof of this-listen:
 Of the players who won a pennant for Birmingham in 19o6 eight have since that time managed ball clubs, and the majority of them very successfully.
 Dale Gear, who played left field. was manager of the Shreveport club in the Texas league until that club was sold to Austin, Tex. He is managing Austin this season.
 Molesworth played center, and every body knows what Molesworth is doing. He is at the head of the best club in the league, very probably, and enjoys the confidence of the best fans of the best city in the Southern league. That's all- and that's some.
 Carlos Smith played right field. Carlos is in charge of the Hattiesburg team of the Cotton States league this season. He has proved his worth as leader.
 Go into the diamond Lew Walters, "the best second baseman the world has ever seen," season before last was manager in the Northern circuit ,and this year is Tn the Three Eye.a
 Roy Montgomery played third. Mont rror, ia 1fafi a manager in 1907, when he took charge of the Jackson team of the Cotton States and walked away with the pennant He then drifted into the Central league, and some contend that he is the best manager in that circuit.
 After Oyler was seriously injured, who played shortstop for Birmingham? No other than that inimitable Count Lou Cas- tro. Lou is not playing baseball now. for he has learned that there is more money in the restaurant business in At lanta than fielding bunts and hammering hits. But season before last he had charge of South Atlantic club and han died it well, although he had frequent col lisions with umpires, in all of which rows loyal fans contend he was justifiable.
 First Baseman Henry Meek did not land a managerial berth. He failed for the same reason that he failed to go to the big leagues. Henry did not mix that hit ting prowess of his with the proper pro- portion of ambition.
 None of the pitchers landed a man. agerial berth. either. Wilhelm could lead a club to victory, and will do so yet, 1t is
