By SENATOR"

CHICAGO, June Sin order to cling
to his comfortable place in the first
division, MManager Griffith is strain
Ing every nerve to obtain two more
pitchers, strong enough and sufficiently
experienced to take their turns on the
slab. He has sent Scout Mike Kahoe
into the Three-eye league to watch
Fred Spencer big highlander of the
Springfield. ILL.,, club. and he is also
after. big Southpaw in the Virginia
league.
Spencer is no green performer. He
has had couple of trials with the st.
Louis. Browns, a sore arm ending his
chances each time. He was with the
Browns this spring. He is said to be
fairly experienced and remarkably cool
under fire.
Manager Griffith cannot conceal his
brimming confidence and declares that
the Nationals will stay in the first divi-
sion from now on. "Give me two more
pitchers and We'll have a chance for
that banner, believe me-" says he.
''Ths is a good ball club right now.
We've beaten the best of them and
should continue to win. I'm not pre-
dieting anything. but we may fool
lot of them yet
President Noyes wired Griffith last
night, Congratulations. Fans here
areg ding crazy over god work of Ma
tionals. Best wishes to you and play
ers." Griffith was much pleased over
the telegram and lost no time in telling
the players about 1t. The boys are
1.appy as can be at their victories and
are counting the distance between them
and first place.

Not discounting the fact there is d

be given credit for getting together, the
best bunch of players that ever repre-

displayed plenty of dash and pepper
from first to last and just had to win.
"Chick" Gandil made one marvellous
one-handed stop of a wide throw from
Foster on Callahan's slow roller in the
sixth. This one play was worth all the
others in the game. Howard Shanks
snaked Weaver's fly in the seventh af-
ter a pretty run to the line.

Lange Heaves a Wild One.
Callahan and Lord came in for a
brief but spirited chat with the hard
working Lange and 1t seemed to worry
him considerably for he came through
with a terrible wild pitch to the grand
stand, Gandil streaking it over the pan
from second base. Morgan walked and

session by shooting a long sailer to

Simplifed Spelling.

said the correspondence clerk, some
marvellous examples of simplifed spell
ing. some of these unconsciously pho
netic, some evidently deliberately in
tended, some that, though they serve
their purpose wonderfully. verge on
the comic. For instance. we received
yesterday a letter from a man who
starts of in this way:
What tx would follow" and SO
on.
"Of course, the meaning of that was
perfectly plain. but the bookkeeper and
| had to smile over it for a moment,
and when we showed it to the stenog-

could write words like that ought not
to stop at simplifled spelling, he ought
to go right ahead and invent a new
shorthand system"

ELEPHANTS WITH SENSE

Possibly no other animal in the
world has the fascination for the
Riddles and the grown-ups as well,
as has the elephant We all remem
Der the first elephant we saw at the
first show we attended. So the mere
announcement that the show is COM
ing again, revives the pleasant men,
cries of boyhood days. The first
thing that attracts our attention on
the show bills is the elephant and
the many curious stunts that he is
expected to do.
Sun Brothers shows that appear
here January eth will present as a
special feature a coterie of trained
elephants that are broke" to perform
all the newest acts imaginable and
all that they do really borders upon
the marvellous. The great mountains
of flesh will be seen at every per-
Torrance during their engagement in
| this city, in what is claimed to be
the greatest pachyderm performance
ever projected
The characteristics of the elephant
are interesting. There are. two dis
tinct species of elephants-the Indian
elephant, inhabiting Asia, and the At
rican elephant. The latter may be
distinguished from the Asiatic by the
dimensions of the head which is
much shorter, rounded and some
what convex. The ears are of enor
nous size, covering the back of the
head and neck. In the African specie
both the male and female have tusks,
those of the male being larger and
heavier than those of the female
1t is also larger in size than the
Asiatic species. All elephants are
fond of bathing, their large bodies
being of great advantage to them in
swimming. When they swim in deep
water they erect their trunks through
which they breathe, and by doing SO
they have no fear of being drowned.
The Asiatic elephants are generally
supposed TO be more intelligent and
docile, also much superior in strength
than those of Africa.
The elephants seen with Sun Broth
ers' show this season are the AsiatiC
variety and are splendid specimens
The exact date of this big show
here is Tuesday, January z, and the
big outfit will be located on the
grounds at the depot. A number OF
sensational free shows are announced
to be given at 1890 p. m, on the
show grounds and directly in front
of the main entrance.
