games out of three. The Skygacks

of So pins.

this leave Roberts Skygacks the
champion Jim-Jon rollers of the
city. The Skygacks are open to
meet any Jim-Jon team In the
city.
The high total for the evening
was rolled by Walton with 344
pins for three games. Hansen was
a close second with $40 pins.
Thursday night the Skygacks
will take on the Mermaids for
three games, total pins to count,

maids.

Fiddler" Has Been Perfectly
Good Dog, But Surgeon Fears
Pet May Have Rabies.

It's lonesome on the reserYa ton at
Fort Mcpherson these days. The reg
iment is all there and there's plenty Of
baseball, but Fiddler and his friends
are all in close confinement.
Fiddler is the regimental mascot and
has been for twelve years. He is a
brown dog with tail that never stops
wagging, and he is the best chum Of
every man and child on the reserva-
ton. He is really the property of Ser
geant Miller, an old Indian fighter, who
picked Fiddler up in Cuba years ago
But every man at the post is his
friend.
No; it isn't Fiddlers fault that he is
locked up like a refractory private It's
because a certain mongrel pup went
mad and chewed the fingers of ten
soldiers few weeks ago and the sur
geon thinks perhaps the pup bit all the
other dogs before his head was ampu-
tated. So Fiddler and all the rest Of
the four-legged pets of the post are
held to see what viii happen, They
don't like it, as the chorus of doleful
bowls informs every one within ear
shot of the post.
There are lots of dogs, company
mascots and private pets, at the post,
but Fiddler is the favorite. He en-
listed in Cuba, has been to the Philip
pines, the Texas border. back to Cuba
and to Washington and home again. In
fact, wherever the Seventeenth goes
there goes Fiddler. He is getting ad-
vanced in age, but he isn't too old to
mascot successfully. And when Fid-
dler answers the last roll call therell
be a funeral at the post which even
colonel might envy.
