fellows behind the club. Detroit was then in the Western league. The next year he was with Cincinnati. He played with the Reds that season and in 1901 he came back to Detroit.
 He played here until he was in jured in 1905. Part of 1906 he played in Rochester in the Eastern league and later managed Dayton. o. In 1907 and 1908 he was member of the Bos- ton Americans. During those years Jimmy hit better than at any previ- ous time in his career. He was not more attention to hitting.
 In one game between Boston and Detroit, played here when the Tigers were making their fight for the pen nant in 1907, Jimmy made five hits off Ed Killian in one game. He got his fourth hit with two men out in the eighth inning and he was the only man who had hit the left-handed Ed ward safely up to that chapter of the game.
 Following Barrett's fourth hit the Red Sox opened on KilIian and beat him. In the same year Barrett beat Philadelphia with a home run in the 18th inning. That clout put the IT, of games for Boston with timely clouts. He was the teams star in a pinch.
 Milwaukee numbered Barrett among it's players in 1909 and 1910. After p1aying two months in 1910 Barrett was injured again and had to go to Detroit and rest the remainder of the season. The following year he was manager of the Milwaukee team.

BARRETT LEAVES GAME.
For Years One of Greatest Fielders in
 Organized Baseball.
Jimmy Barrett has quit the game

Jimmy Barrett has quit the game The hero of hundreds of phenom- enal catches in major league outflelds has decided to settle down te business. The passing of Barrett means the retirement of one of the greatest field CTS in baseba1l's history. There are still several good years of playing left in Jimmy, but his wife and children to chuck away his uniform and write to three CT four managers who would like to have him on their payroll next season.
 Barrett can retire with record the sight of which is pleasing. There have not been many outfielders who could compare with him. There are out fielders who can hit better than Jim my could but only in rare instances has his fellow as 8 fielder been found.
 Jimmy could go back as fast and as far on a fly ball as any man in the game, grab them out Of the air with either mitt, and was a faultless judge of 8 fly. He could make a catch while Larry Lajoie. He was a wonder at throwing, and none can remember where Barrett made the wrong play after grabbing the ball; he always knew where to throw it.
 A sprained knee n1arred the career of Barrett. He received the injury while playing with Detroit in 1905. If the kneecap had been broken he might have been saved many playing days, but as it was a sprain 1t caused Bar the game before the injury had prop erIy healed. and there was recur- renee of the trouble. It was two or three years before the hurt was en- tifely erased. and then Barrett had lost much of his speed.
 He broke In about the same time that Lajoie and Chance and that crowd started He went to Detroit in 1889.

A DOWNWARD TREND,
Traders Still Feeling Their Way in a
 Hesitatine Manner.

New York. April 1.-The trend of prices became more definitely down ward on the stock exchange today, Traders appeared to be feeling their way in the hesitating manner which has characterized dealings all through the week. but the occasional upturns of the last few days were missing to- day, and the Tundertone was consistent = 1y heavy. Union Pacific, Reading Le- high Valley, Amalgamateds and Steel In particular were depressed, and in common with other important issues were forced down one to two points. New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio touched new low prices for the year.
 It was noticeable that stocks of cor poratfons which have put out new is sues of securities, or are believed to be contemplating such action, were especially susceptible to pressure. The same forces were at work in the bond market. A rumor that a, new issue of New York city bonds was to be brought out was sufficient to depress two of the outs standing issues to new low prices. The large output of se- curltieS of the week and reports that many other fotations are pending, both at home and abroad, constituted per- haps the most direct influence in de- pressing the market A good deal of attention was given to the probable effect of such offerings on the money market, and in some quarters there was disposition to look for renewed tension if applications for new capital pile up at a time when the market has on hand the leftover offerings from previous undertakings

Snakes Fond Of Music.

Science has recently been studying
the question as to whether or not
snakes have an appreciation OF music.
This applies particularly to the cobra.
which responds to the piping OF
gourL instrument played by the East
India fakir with a rhythmic movement
suggesting a dance. The conclusicn
seems to be that It answers to the
musical notes much in the same way
as dog does-that is to say, through
a special or nervous sympathy. When
the whistles blow at noon In the Bronz
ZOO the wolves set up great howl
ing In concert Whether or not they
enjoy this sort OF music Is disputed
though probably they do. for some
dogs undoubtedly take pleasure In har-
monious strains and win run block

ably suffer from certain kinds OF

ia looking for the owner of a couple
of fingers he has in his possession
He went to market with load OF
potatoes and started to sleep In his
wagon during the night before market
opened. He was disturbed by the
moving OF the canvas over the load
and. waking. saw a hand slip beneath
the canvas and abstract couple OF
the tubers. The operation was re-
peated so many times that he could
foresee nothing but the disappearance
Of the entire load unless he took sum-
mary action. Raising a sharp Ratchet
he had with him, the farmer smote
the hand the next time It appeared
and the next morning found two
guilty fingers In the wagon. The re
mainder OF his potatoes were not
