San Francisco. June 20.-The Seals
have picked up one of the most promis-
ing pitchers in this neck OF the woods
in Johnny Couch, the former Stanford
lad, who set the California league afre
by his sensational work in the bushes.
Del Howard of the Seals just beat
Connie Mack out for the youngster,
al the peerless leader of the Athletics
had his wires burning, but Del was on
the job first.
Couch is a big, handsome looking
lad with every natural advantage and
such a shrewd judge of baseball
players as Jimmy Byrnes declares
the former Stanford boy the find of
the season. Byrnes, who has big
league experience, caught Couch in
the games he played with the
Modesto club, and says he is sure to
be a. big sensation.
The Modesto club was last in the
California, but Couch won eight of
never taken out of the box The
games he lost were touch ones.
Stockton beat him to in IL innings,
in which he held the opposition to
seven hits. Stewart of the San Jose
team beat him in a to 1 game. In
this game Couch allowed but six hits.
He pitched one Thinning game, giving
seven scattered hits. He never allow
ed more than seven hits while pitching
for the Modesto club.
Couch is six feet tall and weighs
about 100. He is right handler and
has world of speed. He is a good
left handed batter and is fast on the
bases.

A Man or Salmon.

A Man or a Salmon.
Eels can cause the death of a salmon
of considerable weight by the use of
strategy. One will obtain the grip be-
tween the dorsal fin and the tail and
then hold on like a bulldog, while the
unfortunate victim in vain throws 1t
self backward and forward, endeavor-
ing to shake off its captor, until at
length its strength is exhausted and
the eel proceeds to make a meal at
leisure.
Worse crimes than these are laid to
their charge in New Zealand. great
number of bathing fatalities had taken
place at a certain spot, where the cur
rent ran with such strength that a
powerful swimmer could only just
stem it. 1t was a favorite pastime to
have tussle with the stream, but sew
eral times bather disappeared before
help could reach him, and when his
body was found it had been eaten by
cells.
The cause of the fatalities remained
unknown for long time, but at last il
was discovered that while the swim
mer was almost stationary in the rapid
stream a huge eel would seize him by
the foot or leg and drag him beneath
the surface. Eels attain an immense
size in those waters, 20 to 80 pounds
being no uncommon weight-PJ IS

Ray Chapman's appearance at short

whole lot to do with the Maps late win
ming streaks. They took Washington

Home runs are of course a joy to
ball players, as they love the applause
which a four-base swat brings from
the spectators in the stands. But,
though it is not generally known there
Is a certain dread superstition among
ball players regarding the homer. 1t |
Is simply explained, however, and |
though it appear but a mere coinci- |
dence. still the players refuse to look |
at it in that light. Heinie Steinfeldt, |
the former Cub third sacker, pasted a |
homer over the fence in a game and |
the next morning he drew his release.

Thomas. II. Peoples Strikes at Tele.

Mill Mergers Are Contrary to Law.
Columbia, Feb. 15.-Attorney Gencr-
al Thomas II. Peoples in his report to
the general assembly nays number
OF corporations In this State and makes
a special examination into trusts and
monopolies". He takes the telephone
and telegraph companies, calling at
tention to "the arrangement between
the Western Union and the American
Telephone Company with regard to the
handling Of business for the exclusion
Of the Postal Telegraph company"
which Mr.. Peoples pointed out was a
discrimination in favor Of the Western
Union against the citizens of this
State. The attorney general made in
quiry into the history or the telephone
business In this State and reached the
conclusion that 1t Is deemed important
to Immediately bring the necessary
proceedings to enforce antitrust laws
in this State with regard to the tele-
phone and telegraph situation.
Mr.. Peoples attacks the Southern
Power Company and its merger of the
water powers and points ont, at has
been currently reported that further
large acquisition of the powers Of this
and the neighboring State Of North
Carolina has been acquired by this
company. Mr. Peoples asks for en-
actment Of laws with regard to water
powers.
The attorney general declares that
the merger Of cotton mills in this state
Is contrary to law and says that South
Carolina is "a dumping ground Of the
evil combinations and Vaccinations of
people who are engaged In such ilegi-
innate enterprises, and which in effect
and policy is denounced by our law.
''In conclusion beg to say that
with regard to the matters thus
brought to your attention the inves-
legations suggested will entail a vast
amount Of labor, trouble and care.
For such work the State necessarily
must provide, and If our citizens are
TO be protected, if our laws are to
be enforced. If our liberties are to be
preserved, | can not and do not hesi-
tate to say to the people Of South Car
olina who have ever been willing to
sacrifice both blood and treasure in
their protection and the prevention
Of such wrong that the general assem-
bly, Of this state will appropriate such
reasonable amounts for such necessary
expenditure as will enable the law Of
ficcrs Of the state. charged with such
duty and who are willing to perform
their duty, to proceed at once with the
energy and dispatch with the proper
financial means TO sec that these things
do not and shall not take place and
be fostcrcd within the limits OF this
