= T LOUIS, No, Nov. 29.-Owing to
an error of the American leagues
official statistician, the statement
that the Browns had finished a nose
behind the Athletics in fielding work,
last season, was sent out broadcast
over the country.
Checking up the figures the Amerl-
can league compUter failed to figure
the percentage right The Browns had
a total number Of 65SS chances, and
fell down on sos of them.
The percentage. computed on this
basis, is -954, or a fraction less. The
official figures gave the Browns per
centage as -965, one point behind the
Athletics
The Browns, however, handled more
chances than any A. L. club

Goats TO Protect Sheep.

In order to Illustrate an attack on
his flock Of sheep by a catamount, or
panther, David Glover, of near Haney
vile, has purchased two Angora goats.
The pugnacity Of these goats is such
that no animal OF prey dare attempt
to despoh flock.
The sheep raisers of that wild sec.
ton have suffered severe losses to
their focks OF late years since the biz
increase in black bears and catamount
and now with real panther in the
neighborhood 1t became necessary to
do something desperate. Mr.. Glover
bit upon the Angora goat idea, and 1t
seems to have settled the problem
The goats are masters OF all they sur
vey, all right. even the men folk
lighting shy Of getting too close to the
sturdy creatures. AT this season oil
the year the sheep are on the wild
ranges. Other sheep raisers arc
watching Mr.. Glover's experiment.

EARLY MEN IN AFRICA
TRACES OF RACE THAT HUNTED
ANIMALS LONG EXTINCT.
interesting Discovery Of Mammalian
Bones and Human Implements
Made by Scientist Near
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Old Theory.

A most interesting discovery has
lately been made showing the exist,
ence of a primitive race of men In
South Africa. Doctor Broom. of Ger
mission, whose archaeological and geo.
logical researches have made HIS
name familiar to scientists in Europe
and America, told of specially inter
erting discovery recently made of a
hot spring 80 miles north of Bloem'
fontein, in the course of operations
designed to open up the eye of the
spring. To do this 1t was necessary
to tunnel into a sand hill, and in the
course Of the operations the workmen
came upon large quantity Of NAM
malian bones associated with human
implements and quantity of charred
wood
The significance of the discovery
was realized by the first finders, but.
fortunately, Dutch woman In tho
district suspected they had scientific
value, and prevented the finds from
being dispersed. Doctor Broom went
down and examined them. He found
that the bones were chiefly those of
hippopotami, Gland, the huge extint
buffalo of South Africa, whose horns
used to attain span of twelve feet;
the gigantic Cape horse long since ex-
tinct. which far exceeded the Clydes-
dale in size; an extinct variety OF
wild beeste: the wart hog, and num-
Der of small buck, not yet identified.
Previous discoveries had caused SCI
entists to believe that man had lived
In South Africa contemporaneously
with the extinct giant buffalo but the
proofs available were inconclusive.
DR. Bloom regards this discovery as
proving their co-existence beyond
doubt. The find further proves that
extinct animals were killed and their
bones broken, and indicates that their
flesh was cooked by some primitive
race OF human beings. The imple-
ments found included stone knives
and large spear heads, but no evil
dences were found of the presence of
what are regarded as typical Bush
man stones.
| At present there is some doubt as
to the race to which the human be.
! ings who hunted these giant buffalo
! belonged In this connection 1t has
been noted that the bones Of an ex'
tinct buffalo and horse possibly iden.
, tical with those discovered in South
Africa have been found in Algeria. II
is thought possible. therefore, that
| the tribe which hunted them migrat
ed south along with these extinct ami
mails during the last ice age. 1t Is
further thought that those ancient PEG
pie were probably white and of Euro
| pean stock Doctor Broom has sent
a representative collection OF the
bones to Cape Town.
