Chile and Is sued for fertilizing. Most

tree frog, which later i'm the year and

1t is not at all easy to locate the tree
frog by his note. AS you approach his

if YOU place your hand on the trunk
of the tree where he is ambushcd he
will not resume his chant until you
have removed tO-a distance.
The common tree frog of the United
States. called also tree toad, is found
westward as far as Kansas, but is
quite at his best in Indiana. This four

Notes of the Game.

"Nipper" Mute, the youthful shortstop
of the Barre team was slightly off color
Yesterday. The old Red Sox pitcher
booted grounders twice and at the bal
failed to come across for single pune
ture.
w. Johnston saved his aggregation
from a possible defeat in the fourth in
ming, when with men on second ami
third, two down, hit or error meant
two runs Vance was using his big stick
and. picking out one to his liking, sailed
it on line towards third. w. John
ston speared the ball on a pickup, hav-
ing plenty of time to throw his man
out at first. The play brought forth !,
long round of applause.
Pease, the left fielder for the New
Hampshire team, was apparently salts
fled without enrolling his cognomen in
the hit column. He declared that it was
his off day and he would leave the hit
ting end of it with his eliminates. 1t
might have been different had his com
panions been there with the wallop.
1t is said that Bernier, the visitors
center fielder, was given a try-out with
the Detroit Americans this spring. Jen-
nings may have at some time or other
had strings on the youngster, as all
big league scouts do on any youngster
that shows indications OF developing.
Bernier is fair ball player, but is far
from being big league timber.
The unexpected happened yesterday,
when the inimitable Brave" Fowlie ran
the cinder path desperately and reck-
lessly. Twice did he make the middle
cushion by pulling off the purloin spe-
cialty.
