New York Police Mascot.

In addition to its official 'yaller dog
mascot. Bum, the old Mulberry street
police station has acquired another
dog, known as Peg Post He is also
of an ochre tint, and his mysterious
behavior has bafled the wisest sleuths
in the station. When the men begin
their tours on the stationary or peg
posts at ten o'clock at night, the dog
comes trotting from somewhere and
takes up his station with whichever
policeman on duty in the precinct suits
his fancy for that particular night.
Frequently he changes from one post
to another, and remains on watch
until the stationary posts give way
20 regular patrol at six in the morn
ing. Then he trots away, and is not
seen until the next night. Offers of
tidbits from the mems lunches have
been repeatedly refused by Peg Post
and his agility has thus far prevented
any one from learning the number of
the dog license he wears on his collar.

that a great batsman is Handicapped

He hits long ball. says Ernie,
"but he is all over the course. He

ball is different.
Sam Crawford who takes as fun
swing at the ball as any man in base

the golf club expert sam takes too
long a swing and hits too hard. There
is one Tiger however. who plays
