SOUNDS MADE BY elephants

Elephants are said to make use of q
great variety Of sounds In communi.

are uttered by the trunk, some by the
throat. The conjunctures in which
either means of expression Is en-
ployed cannot be strictly classified, as
Tear, pleasure, want and other emo
lions are sometimes indicated by the
trunk, sometimes by the throat. An
elephant rushing upon an assailant
trumpets shrilly with fury. Fear is
similarly expressed in a shrill. brassy
trumpet, or by a roar from the lungs:
pleasure by a continued low squeak.
ing through the trunk or an almost
inaudible purring sound from tho
throat. Want-as a calf calling It's
mother-is chiefly expressed by tho
throat. A peculiar sound is made use
Of by elephants to express dislike n
apprehension, and at the same time
to intimidate, as when the cause Of
some alarm has not been clearly q Q
Certained and the animals wish to
0stsr an intruder. It is produced BY

custom was founded nearly 400 years

them on February 81, tho other two
pence being from the gift Of Provost

subsists to the present day, that half

as he came to the bat. even by a good
many New York rooters, but he failed 20
bring his captain home. as Tesreau threw
him out at first after holding Wagner at
third. Hooper then drove a vigorous liner
Larry Doyle's way, and that ended Bos-

The game was practically over. but the
most exciting moments were to come.
Murray flied out 10 Hooper 20 begin New

Merkle shot a single to centre, Herzog
dropped a Texas Lacquer In right, while
the crowd rose IN perfect frenzy as
Meyers sliced a two-bagger to the same
territory. Hats, cushions and everything
throwable filled the air as Merkle scored,
leaving runners on second and third and
only one out. McGraw sent Becker out
to run for Meyers. and with only a single

to tie the score Fletcher stepped TO the
plate.
II was trying moment for Wood and
a tense one for the crowd, but smoky
Joe" was equal to the call. and Fletcher
struck out. as he had done on two pre't-
Gus occasions. There was still a chance
with Otis Crandall at the bat. Many Of
those in the crowd remembered how he
had won game for New York In the
worlds series q year ago and thousands
begged him to repeat. The opportunity
was ripe for lasting baseball fame, but
unfortunately for the Giants. CrandalL
usually 30 strong In pinch, failed. Wood
found himself in a bad hole, with the
count two and three, but he took chance
and sent q fast, straight ball right over
the heart Of the plate. Crandalrs bat
swished through the afr, but the ball
rested In Cadys big NIT. Crandall had
struck out. SO ended the first struggle
for the worlds championship. to be re-
newed In Boston this afternoon.

John ]. McGraw, manager OF the
Giants, was taciturn, as usual but
said, on boarding the train for Bos-
ton:
"The series is just beginning, and
while we would have liked to have
won, we are by no means disheart-
ened by to-day's defeat. The Attn
letics were defeated in the first game
for the worlds championship last
year, but they captured the title"
McGraw would give no inkling as
to the pitcher he would use for the
game in Boston to-day, but. IL Ray

Then came one of those breaks In the
game which makes baseball 80 uncertain
