sible exception of the sea beach, which is espe
cia1lv popular with their brown-breasted black
footed cousins In certain places, as at the ends
of the lagoon, they are or rather were, more con-
gested than in other localities. The dense colony
shown in the illustration was at the east end Of
the lagoon. To the progenitors Of these birds is
due the exceedingly valuable deposit Of bird lime
or guano, the accumulation of ages, which has
been removed in years past and utilized as phos-
plate rock In chemical fertilizers

not allow themselves to be handled, avoiding

Some years ago a company Of Japanese were
landed on the island to kill and cure birds for
millinery purposes. That they were rudely inter

stone, do not breed on the island at
all Nevertheless, the island was liter
ally covered from center to sea with
breeding birds, mating birds, and
young half-grown fledglings of a dozen
or more species.
With such an astonishing popula-
ton, numbering perhaps twice the in
habitants Of Greater New York, it was
to be expected that a study Of the
situation would reveal a method In
their distribution. Generally speaking,
the various species were grouped In
more or less well defined colonies. AS
a rule, these colonies had settled on
certain localities that seemed to suit
their fancy or convenience. There Is
constant coming and going at Laysan,
so that the visitor arriving there at
different seasons OF the year would
find different species predominating In
the bird population, while other spe-
cies that at another season would be
equally as abundant might not be
found there at all. But visit this ISL
and or any one of the chain when you
will, enough interesting material for a
volume on birds can be gathered in
an hour or two on shore.
One Of the many curious birds of the
island, the albatross, of which there
are two species is of the most general
interest. This is due in part to their
splendid size and part to their unusual
domestic habits.

Miller is a Herculean Roumanian
with literally no sense of a or.
With him every incident of the

Colma training camp, they fixed up
an electric chair with a push but

a long time before they could ex-
plain the joke to him He thought
the conversion of the chair into
a galvanic battery was due to some
vagary of the climate or that NAV

He asked no mercy and for that

against delaying the game. The
Billikens were persistent ana dis
gushing offenders. In the second
game they just kicked away. the

This stuff hurts baseball. The

club gathered together by Colonel
Carleton Molesworth. We picked
them, at the first of the season, to
win the pennant. We haven't yet
seen any reason to change our de-
cision.
The Barons lack a lot of being
the greatest ball club in the world,
but they are useful. The team has
some cleanup batters some fair
FEEDERS and a lot of spirit. 1t is
winning chiefly with that spirit
The men have gotten together and
are playing ball to win.
The Barons are due for four
games in three days. They play
double header Tuesday. The Crack
ers have managed to defeat the
Barons once this season, 50 the
chances for winning a lot of these
games are none too good.
When the Barons depart the Pei
leans arrive. They play double
headers Thurday and Friday and
single on Saturday. The locals
have won one game this season
from the Pelicans, SO the outlook
for a cleanup the latter part of the
week is none too blooming bright.
Yea. verify, if the Crackers are to
be better than last on Saturday
night they will have to go some.

Why do they lose7

We have spent the last ten years
or Whereabouts writing baseball in
the South. and ought to know some
thing about it If We don't, but that's
as close to an explanation as we
can get
THE Crackers face a fearsome
week They must play nine
games in six days with the Biz
mingham and New Orleans teams.
The natural supposition would be
that. as the Crackers lost most OF
those they played last week with
bum clubs they win lose all to
the good clubs.
Fortunately, however this does
not necessarily follow. The Crack

Charlie Miller, the Latest Hope,
Has Swell Wallop and Is Game

Charlie Miller was to appear.
In time Miller became a standbv
with promoters of four-round bouts
in San Francisco, and he continued
to be the heavyweight comedian Of
the Queensberry ring. He loved
the stress of fierce flghtina. and hA
has an utter disregard for punish
ment.
But he did not catch on to the
technique of things, somehow. OF
the ordinary leads and counters Of
boxing he did not seem able to
obtain a grasp As they used to
say Of Sharkey in his cub days, he
could not hit the postoff1ce unless
you let him swing at it.
Miller's most brilliant achieve
ment was the spelling of Al Kauf-
mans come back dream. The two
heavies met at Dreamland on. the
evening of June 81, and Miller
gained the decision after four
rounds of furious work. Miller's
great bulk strength and assini
lative qualities stood him in good
stead. BY continued rushing he
kept Kaufman off balance, and did
not permit Billy Delaneys former
protese to set himself properly for
alright clip at the chin.
Has Heap Of Confidence.
From being a joke, Miller has
merged into conundrum. It is
felt that he will never acquire any
kind of ring polish but he has
gained confidence and has formu-
lated style of fighting that is baf-
fling to the fellows who are sup
posed to know how.
Miller Is elated with his success.
He is still modest, but he is ambi-
tious. He claims the right to rank
with Luther Mccarthy and Al Pal
ger, and 1t really seems as though
he is to be reckoned with.
His real name, by the way. IS
Joseph Costamagna; so there is z
prospect of his being christened
"Coster1nogge Joe" If he ever rises
to the pugilistic heights,
