this time another $3.50 was donated for
the same purpose With this money
available the COMMITTEES made an ain-

pieces Of statuary and several plaques.
There were ordered from Caproni,' OF
Boston. and the goods arrived this
morning in fist-class condition
The statuary will be distributed

is, he convinces himself that the

he falls away because he is certain
that when it breaks it will come too

the ball breaks and he is made to
look bad, for frequently it hits him.

First Sacker Declares He Does
His Best Batting When Some
One Has RiIed Him.

n JEW YORK, July 12.-Among the
N Senators there is one player
who says that he does his best
hitting when he has a crouch. He
doesn't care how he gets his Crouch
but he must have one to hit the pill
Indeed, he says that when he is feel
ing well and hasn't a care in the
world, he can't find the elusive pill
Therefore, he seldom engages IN any
little jokes on the bench. He is al
ways strictly attending to business
hoping that somebody will rifle him
or that he can find some grievance al
which to complain. This lad, who
does his best work when suffering
from crouch, is no other than Bene-
dict Arnold Gandil, alias Chick Gan
dill, the clouting, mountainous tirsi
sacker of the Griffmen.
OTIS a fact" says Gandil. go
L can't hit unless things are break

can't do their best work unless they
