KEEPS OUT OF WATER NOW
oander With Fishing Line Tied 20
HE Leg Has Lively Time
With plcksrel.

A Wisconsin gander was SO upset
by experiments made upon and
through him by mischievous boy
that tor long time he would not 60
into the water.
The gander's determination to OBJ
stain from water as . means Of bath
ing grew out of the following circum.
| stances:
The boy thought he would tie fish,
ng-line to the ganders leg and with
hook properly baited turn tho bird
out into the water. The bait was .
frog.
The gander went into the mill pond.
where he swan around for half an
hour, turning "fiip-tiaps" and diving
for food. Suddenly he felt pull at
his leg and looked as surprised as the
lone fisherman" when he caught q
| whale.
The gander concluded that there
was something the matter, and he
looked to ascertain the cause. The
pickerel on the hook gave several
jerks. whereupon the gander decided
that he wanted to go home.
He at once started for the shore.
but the pickerel on the hook wanted
to go the other way. The gander
seemed frightened at first. Then he
evinced signs Of anger and tried to
fly to shore. but the pickerel pulled
him back.
After half an hour OF the hardest
work he had ever done. the gander
came ashore dragging six-pound
pickerel up the bank.
The boy took off the pickerel ana
baited the hook with another frog. He
tried to induce the gander to go in
tor another swim, but no amount OF
persuasion could get the bird to do SO.
He simply could not be driven in. For
many weeks the gander would not go
into the water. He would proceed
with the rest OF his flock to the wa
ter's edge, but there he would stop.
He would seem to be arguing with
them with reference to The danger
they were counting.

Sporting Views
By the Editor

Il.
A great deal of talk has been oc-
casioned by the showing OF Tod"
Sloan this spring, Since the first
game of the season he has not shown
the fans the class that is in him. For
some reason or other he has been
way off in his work and the bugs are
trying to figure out some reason for it.
+ has been said that he IS deliberately
laying down in order to be sent south
This Is hard to believe for it does not
seem reasonable to think that he
would throw away all chances he has
of going into higher company next
year by being released by Glass D
club. That no is not at all satisfied
with the salary Is well known. But
he signed a contract rather than go
back to independent bali and there
seems to be no reason for his slump
right now. He says his arm feels as
good as 1t ever did, but the fact re-
mains that something is radically
wrong with him.
The local bugs are waiting to find
out what the matter is.

mitted that the Californian is at sea

GALESBURG, May 29.-"One-hit"
Murray failed to puzzle our demon
batsmen Tuesday as he did the last
time we faced him in his home town.
In fact some of the boys took rather
liking for the tall pitcher. BY COM
parison, however, Murray was away
ahead of what we had to show in the
pitching line. Babe" ADAMS was
cent in by Duck De Eberts and IN
eight innings walked six men and wal
loped two more in the ribs. Our de-
mon manager then "yanked" him and
sent in Mitchell to finish 1t. Mitch
whitfield the first batter for the second
out and retired No. on an infleld
grounder. With Adams in the box the
odds strongly favored Keokuk.
The first half of the game was as
pretty an exhibition as anybody
would care to see. Adams could To-
cate the plate once in a while for the
first FIVE innings. His start in the
sixth was what helped him to the
bench later on. For the first four
innings just twelve men faced him.
Then it was a series of narrow es-
capes every inning.

Galesburg was first to score in the
third frame Turner hit clean to
left field and Mcconnell and Adams
got out in order, Adams slow ground.

Bauman covered the initial sack and
let Murray's toss strike the dirt with
Anderson safe. Mutz Ems, the Bull

on the nose TO right center, the ball
getting by both fielders and rolling TO
the gate for three bases and two

away from the plate and Bauman

of the inning.
Keokuk came back and tied tninss
up in her half of the eighth. Adams
by this time was getting to be very
wild. He started out the scene by
walking Summers and hitting Bres-
nahan. Then Jones hit line drive
