BASE BALL BRIEFS.

A base ball sharp asks: why can't q
n an who has already reached second
go back to first if his presence on first
Is of more value than on second? 2
There are several questions along this
line which could be asked. For instance
why can't man who has made home
run run back the other way for two II
that would be of more value to his
team?
Pittsburgh is said to be anxious to
get George Twombly, the Greater Bos-
ton boy with Cincinnati, but Herzog
outfielder get away from him. He is
too valuable man to use in a pinch,
and the Reds would be lost without
him in case of accident to any of the
other outflelders.
Branch Hickey Is gathering in as
much college talent as John McGraw.
He has rounded up SisIer. the pitching
star of Michigan; Koob. kalamazoo
Normal; Bowman. twirler from the
University of Alabama; schmandy, a
first baseman from st. Louis Uni
versfty, not to mention Burkam, an
outfielder from Benton .Harbor High
School
Manager Mack of the Athletics says
that the peculiar slow infleld on the
White Sox park enables Roth. the Mil
waukee recruit, to play great ball at

helpless on a fast diamond. This ac-
counts for Rowland's continual switch :

road Roth plays in the outfleld, but re-
turns to third base when the team is
at home.
The Braves still profess to think
that they will go on another spurt.
such as won them the world cham
pionshtp last season. but they are not
so chesty as they were at the begin
ming of the season. The continued
wallopings they have been getting ts
beginning to tell on their confidence.
President Comiskey of the Chicago
White Sox says that when he built the
new White Sox park he did not think
any one would ever hit the ball over the
left-ield fence, a feat that Bunny Brief
recently performed. He says he does not
harder than Brief and that he looks for
him to prove one of the teams most
valuable batsmen.
The futility of trying to pick col
legiate base ball championship Is evt-
scribes. They admit that it is possible,
but that both Brown and West Point
have shown the most consistently
strong game.

HORSE ROUTED BY PHEASANT
Angry Hen Almost Blinds Animal
While Protecting Brood Which
Was In No Danger.

Clyde Bradford of Center Hall, near
State College, Pa, who has hunted
pheasants through the Seven noun
tains for 20 years, found the Invest
bird of that species inhabiting the
brush In Center county, he believes.
Here is Bradford's story:
While he was hauling cement to
the borough reservoir an enraged hen
pheasant, protecting her brood of six
youngsters. flew from the bushes
along the mountain road and viciously
attacked his horse. She alighted on
the animals head, beating vigorously
with her wings.
The frightened horse hucked. reared
and lunged in IS fruitless efforts to
dislodge the mad pheasant Finally
the bird pecked at the horses eyes,
binding it so that the heavily loaded
wagon was backed off the road and
down the mountain. Bradford leaped
in time to escape injury. He said he
would not try pheasant cunning from
horseback next fall.

conquered India, what do you think he
did? DO you think he gave d great
feast TO celebrate his triumph? No,
he sat down and wept,"
The children seemed 10 be a little
disappointed at this childish exhibi-

teacher continued. Now. why do
you think Alexander wept?" he asked.
ID went a little hand; but when its
owner saw II was the only one in
