in 1909 the pitcher had him three and
two in close game. The deciding
pitch was curve bull, at which Jack
swung wildly and missed. So sharply
did the ball break that it struck one OF
the edges of the home plate and
bounded into the grand stand, and ac-
cording to the rules then in force the
batsman was entitled to trot around
the circuit unmolested. The freak
play was lucky one for Dalzas, %
Onslow's run won the game for that
club, 3 to 2. Jack therefore had the
honor of scoring the deciding tally
after being recorded as struck out,
while the pitcher received credit for
tanning him and was charged with .

The differences between the eastern
and western elevations In this country
are curiously striking, says the New
York Sun. Colorado has forty peaks
that are more than $4,000 feet above
sea leved. Mount Washington, in New
Hampshire, and Mount Mitchell. in
North Carolina, the highest peaks in
the Appalachian system, north and
south. respectively, are considerably
less than half as high as this above
the ocean.
Several transcontinental railway lines
in the .gast pull iheir main line trains
over greater elevation than that
reached by ,i-, sog railroad up New
Hampshire's above mentioned peak.
These western elevations arc. Of course
reached gradually.
Most large cities lie low. Chicago is
only about GOO feet above sea leve
and Pittsburgh but hundred fee,
higher. Philadelphia ranges from SCI;
level to a height in its suburbs OF some
800 feet. Minneapolis. near the head
Of the Mississippi, has an elevation Of
less than 1000 feet, and various parts
OF New Orleans. at the mouth of the
great river, are recorded in the govern

from one foot to fifty feet. st. Louis

thinks the squeeze play one OF
the jokes Of baseball, and 1t is
not likely that the Nationals will ever
be caught trying this play. Griffith
thinks that when right handed pitch
er allows this maneuyer to be pulled
on him he should be fined He realizes
that inasmuch as a left handler is I'M
get running start off that base, but
he holds that there is no excuse for a
right handler falling for this game.
But Griffith has figured play which
is much more effective to his way of
thinking. For instance, II there is a
man on first and third and none is out
the first baseman is sure to hug his
bag in an endeavor to hold the runner
there. Griff argues that under such
conditions a bunt toward first base will
assure one run and maybe more and
that there is no way to break up the
play, since the man on third makes>,no
effort to score until he sees the bunt
laid down.

ward the end Of the game hoped
that Wagner and the other long hit

This is put on with q brush, and IL
is inmaterial whether It is done when
the cast is new and clean or after
Il becomes dirty, provided only that
Il has not been painted or in any way
coated with foreign matter. The only
object is TO make It impervious to
water, so that subsequent applications
win not sink in.
Then the cast is washed over with

and when it gets dirty It is easily re-

is obvious that the cast Ia no more

DEER RACE A TROLLEY CAR
Three Of Them Amuse the Passengers
on an Interburban Line IN
Connecticut.

Passengers on the car leaving this
city one afternoon were treated to .
pretty sight at the rock cut below
Egypt Brook on the Derby line when
three large deer raced ahead Of the fast
running car for over 500 yards. leav-
ing the tracks when the car got SO
close that the fender touched the
hind legs OF the last deer.
Motorman ]. L. Mcclure came upon
the deer suddenly as the car rounded
sharp turn in the rock cut and
sounded his gong The deer stood,
still for moment and Mcclure put
on his brakes. as he was afraid that
he would strike them. He blew the
afr whistle and the three were of in q
1iffy, running ahead OF the car at full
speed. Mcclure then followed while
the passengers aboard the car
crowded into the front end to watch
the deer. They ran gracefully to-
gether, but could not get of the tracks
as there is very steep declivity on
the right hand side and the bank ran
up too steep on the left to permit them
to get on the right of way.
Finally they came TO a spot where
they could leave and one after the
other they jumped into the under
brush on the uphill side. The last
deer fingered so long by the side Of
the track that the fender brushed it's
heels as Il leaped aside.
Two of the deer were fair sized
while the third was one of the largest
seen by the trolleymen In their expert
ence along that line. Deer are rather
common in the Beacon Falls section
Of the run and they are frequently
seen by early morning trolley crews.
Harry Hogan, conductor of the car.
said that although he has seen many
deer on the trolley tracks In that
section, these seemed less afraid OF
the car than any.-Waterbury Re-
