BOSTON BRAVES
PRESSING GIANTS
FOR FIRST PLACE

New York. Aug. 1S.-Major
Leagrc baseball interests centered
this week in the, sensational spurt
of the Boston Braves towards the
top OF the National League standing.
George Stallings men, whose
steady upward trend has been
watched with more or less apprehen-
sion by clubs ahead for more than n
month past, outdid the expectations
of their warmest admirers in the
closing days of the week by running
the champion New Yorks Off their
feet. routing them in every game of
the three-game series. The Braves
are now but three and one-half
games behind the McGrawites and
playing at clip that bids fair to
land them at the top in short order,
as the Giants appear to be wobbling
badly in all departments.
Boston did something none of the
other rivals of the Giants have been
able to do this season. The cham
pions STAYED off Pittsburgh's early
attack. blasted the hopes of Cincin
natl and turned back the Chica soans
when they challenged for the leader
ship. None stood the test when pit.
ted against the Giants team for
team. The contrary was the case
with the Braves, however.
Boston. however, must keep up its
pace, not only to gain on the Giants
but to keep its second place standing
intact. St. Louis and Chicago are tied
only two games behind, and a squirt
by either with slump by the Braves
would do damage to the Bostonian
hopes. The rest of the teams are
still in the the race with Cincinnati
now occupying the cellar position.
The American League race is very
much an affairs of the Athletics
with the rest comparatively nowhere.
There seems little prospect OF any
club preventing the Mackmen. with
their eleven games lead at this com
paratively late stage of the season.
from participating in the next world
series. They have won % out OF
their last IS games.
Boston and Washington are now
fighting for second position with the
Red Sox having the better outfit at
present. Detroit has been slumping.

CHAVEZ IN TRIM

ers at the Colorado Athletic club to-
night. Richie comes from Beerburg
with warm recommendation from
Tom Andrews, a creditable record
and reported great left hand. In
his training he has appeared fast and
clever, and a number of the wise ones
declare that he fights the one fight
to beat Chavez.
Chavez. on the other hand, is fresh
from two victories over Gene Del
mont, the one-time featherweight
championship hope Of the South, and
is in splendid condition. Chavez has
had about three times as many bat
ties as Mitchell and has held his own
with many and taken his defeats. He
has been in the ring three years as
against the Milwaukee lads one and
a half and must be conceded much
wider experience.

A win over Mitchell would be n

and may lead Chavez straight toward
return go with Johnny Kilbane. the
one big wish of the Mexican feathers
heart. Fans remember the Kilbane-
Chavez fight as the easiest thing Kill
bane ever encountered. but Benny
still wants another try at it.
Mitchell is said to be a mucn clev-
erer boxer than Chavez has been
called upon to contend with, exclud-
ing Kiibane, since he met Eddie Cam

over twenty rounds.
If Mitchell has the punch to back
his cleverncss, Chavez might hit some
bumps on that twenty round road
over which he will travel tonight.
1t is all "if". because Mitchells
punch and stamina are of unknown

 itentiary. Will Appeal

Whistler Did Not Care.

One day the late James McNeill Whistler, the famous artist, went into a London hat shop. He stood there bareheaded, as the clerk had taken his hat to another part of the shop to match it. As he leaned idly against the counter, a man rushed up to him, took off his hat, thrust 1t into Whist ler's face, and exclaimed fin anger: Look here, l want you to understand that 1 know something about hats, and I insist that this hat doesn't fit mel"
 Whistler looked at the man with in terest; then he smiled politely. Please put the hat on" he said, and the angry man did so. Whistler looked him over critically from head to foot; then in his peculiar, drawling manner he said
 Quite right quite right, sir, it does not fit. Neither does your coat; and furthermore, your waistcoat is too large. and your trousers are horrible color"
 After Whistler went out, it took the proprietor half an hour to convince the man that it was not one of the clerks who had insulte him-Youth's s Companion.

FEDERAL GAME WARDEN
 DENIES REPORT
E. Visart Makes Statement Regarding Report Circulated that He Per suaded Man to Kill Duck in
 Order to Arrest Him


 Little Rock, March 28.-"There seems to be a certain element of peo- pie in Arkansas who arc willing to resort to any means that may pre- judice the minds of others against the enforcement of a law that places re- strictions around them,' says E. V. Fisart, Federal Game Inspector for the state of Arkansas.
 He calls attention to the fact that for two months before he began the enforcement of the law for the protec- tion of migratory birds, he gave warnings throughout the press and otherwise, and did all in his power to familiarize the people with the new law, and now there is scarcely even an ignorant negro in a remote section of the state who does not know there is a federal law prohibiting the killing of certain birds and waterfowl.
 And that element of people whose whole desire seems to be to kill and slaughter" says Mr. Visart, Out have no desire to protect, realize that the new law has met with favor among our farmers, and not being able to convince the farmer that it is a bad law, have undertaken to prejudice the minds of the people against it's en- Iorcement by circulating false reports such as have just come to my notice" |"
 There is a report being circulated now that l as an officer persuaded a men to go hunting with me and after permitting him to kill a duck, arrest ed him. So far as l am individually concerned, l would pay no attention to such reports, but for the benefit of those who may be misled, 1 wish to state that there is absolutely not a word of truth in the report, and that 1t was no doubt started by an enemy to the cause
 "The nearest that could be a case of this kind was that of man arrest ed at Redfield. In company with De- putty U. s. Marshal Mallory we ran across a man who had stopped his boat and camped near the duck-shoot- ing grounds. He told us of killing ducks the day before, and while walk ing together 1 warned him of the federal law He cursed the law and the game wardens, and soon after a duck flew over and he killed it. placed him under arrest, but when he was taken before the Commis- sioner, l stated the facts, and asked that sentence be suspended which was done.
 "l shall continue to warn people, and use every effort to keep them out of trouble, but l will play no favorites and whenever or wherever I hear of violation of the Federal Game Law, l shall use every effort in my power to bring the guilty party to justice"

Mosquitoes.


 The old mosquitoes from last year are just coming out to begin breeding the crop for this season. They lay their eggs on stagnant water, an open cistern, a puddle, a swamp, tin can. They do not breed in the grass, unless there is water standing at the root. Put guaze screen over the rain water barrel Drain the puddle or fill it up. If this cannot be done, put a little crude kerosene oil-half tea cup full will do, on the puddle, this month, and once in a while through the summer. When the eggs hatch out into little wigglers in the stan rant water they have to come to the surface fo rar. and then the film of kerosene prevents their getting the air and they die with outever be- coming mosquitoes.
 Common lighting oil will do while 1t lasts, but it will evaporate in few days-the heavier, cheaper, crude oil is best, such as is left in the refiner- ies after the lighter gasoline and ker- oSene has been distilled over.'-Sec. Civic League,
