SHOWING or BOSTON
 BRAVES IS SURPRISE

New York, May 2s-Perhaps the most surprising feature of the inter- sectional warfare is the sur urprising1y poor showing made by the Braves. They have succeeded in winning only three out of eleven games, dropping their entire four games to the Cubs. Admitting that the Braves are handi- capped by Elvers' absence from their bat1ng order it is interesting to note that last season the Braves won twenty of the twenty-two games in which the Trojan was not in their bat tie array
 Stallings' big complaint is with his pitchers as his club it hitting hard and scoring twice as freely as it did last spring. However, Sta1Iings Big Three has been Of very little help this. spring, and this is not the kind of weather to get pitchers into fighting shape.
 Brooklyn, which fared badly in the East ys. East clash. and the Cardinals who did little better in the West vs West. are now better than any club in the National League. It is inter esting to note that Robby is winning with poor hitting, but good pitching. It was expected that the Brooklyns would be a hard-hitting club this year with woeful pitching.
 So far, the Superbas are the poor est hitting club in the National League, and have the poorest base running record of any team in the three leagues, yet they are now de Iiverfng in line style, thanks to the good work of Wheezer Dell and Jack Coombs, and the return to form Of Jem Pfeffer
 The Cardinals are very dangerous club. and should make the going dan gerous for any contender. The club has a lot of dash to it and appears to be better club than the Cubs. They have it all over the Bruins in pitching, and, though the Cards do not pack a great punch, they should win a lot of low score games.

lumbus, Atkissen of the Athletics, and AfcKeon of Indianapolis, also got no hit honors that annurn. -Atkissen re- peated in 1SS6-
 Among those who pitched two or more no-I1it games in subsequent years were Terry of Brooklyn, in 1886 and 1888; Breitenstein of Louisville, 1884, and Cincinnati 1898; Thornton of Chicago, twice in 1893; Cy's Young for Cleveland in 1897; for Bos- ton, 1904 and 1908. and Mathewson of New York, 1991 and 1905.
 In 9o4 ..Cy'' oung pitched a no- hit game for Boston against the Ath- Ie5ics in which not a man reached the initial base-the first time this stunt had been pulled off in major league company for fourteen years Joss. of Cleveland. performed a sirni- lar feat against Chicago in 1902.
 Since 1880 there have been an aver age Of about two no-1lIt games in the major circuits each year. The ban ner year was 1908, when Young of Boston, Wilste of New York, Rucker of Brooklyn, Smith of Chicago, and Joss and Rhoades of Cleveland, all pulled this stellar stunt.
 Considering all the chances a pitcher has for spiI1ing the beans. a no-hit game is truly wonderful per formance, and a. contest in which no player reaches first is to be classed as just one degree lower than a miracle

10TH ANNIVERSARY OF
 FIRST No-HTF CONTEST.

It will be just forty years tomor- TOW since the first no-Iait game in the history of baseball On May %. 1s75 the fans were startled by the feat Of Joseph McElroy, a. Princeton pitcher. who tW1rIed his team to victory over Yale without permitting soIi- tary hit by the Bulldog clan. This classic contest was staged at New Ha- ven, and, although the Ellis were Ignomintously defeated, McEIroy,s triumph was wildly acclaimed by the Yale men. Among the Eli fans who paid due honor to the Tiger twirler was one William Howard Taft of Cincinnati, then a freshman at Yale
 The first no-hit game in which not man reached first-often called the first no-nft game in baseball history was played at Iona, Mich, in Au- gust, 1878, more than 8 year after
 hcElroy's feat. The contesting clubs were the St- Louis Reds aad- the Gass team of Detroit. James Calvin, of the Reds, was the hero of that occa- sion, and the first professional pitcher to twirI a hitless game.
 After the launching of the National League in 1878, several years passed before a no-llit game was played. In ISS0 Pitcher Richmond, of the Wor- cester club, then in the National League, pitched a game against Cleveland in which his opponents v 44OI O41lYe held h1I1eSS, put 1n which not a man of the C1eveIands perched on first. Richmond had pre- viously performed this feat twice in the preceding year. In June, 1880, John M. Ward, then on the slab for. the Providence National Leaguers, got into the baseball hall of fame in a game in which not a single BunaIo player reached the initial bag. Cor coran5 of Chicago and Calvin, then with Buffalo, also pitched Ilo-hit con tests that year.
 There were no more no-hit games in the National League until 1882, when Mullane and Hecker, of Louis vile, got into the Hnelfght, and Cor coran of Chicago repeated, his 1880 feat. Radbourne and Daley, of Providence and Chicago, respectively, were the no-hit heroes of 1883. Cor coran twirled his third no-hit game in 1884, and Calvin of Buffalo also re- peated.

chivaIry In Battle.

There was some chivaIry in naval fight in the good old days of Blake and Van Tromp, when sneal1ing subma- rfnes and barbarous torpedoes were unknown and naval commanders tscourted war like mistress 7
 When the Spanish Admiral Oquendo declined to come out of the shallow waters of Goodwin sands to fight be- because he had no powder Van Tromp said, q have powder enough for both. I. will give him half mine''
 s.It is not only powder need, but masts for my ships, replied Oquendo. To which Van Tromp replied, q have plenty of masts, a whole shipload of them, and you can have them if you will only come out and meet me"
 The result Justified the caution of Oquendo, for when the two fleets did meet the Spaniards were so terribly beaten by the Dutch that of sixty seven ships only eighteen reached Dun kirk in safety.-Army and Navy Jour- nal. sa-4 aa

 The caterpillar, though a soefable creature, tries to keep out of every body's way. Some species hide on the under surface of leaves, others on the stems or blades of grass, which serve them as food; others, again, build little nests for concealment or lie snugIy hidden between the curled edges of leaves, which they draw close together until the opposite edges meet The cat erpillar Is a socfable creature in his own family. He knows that there is safety in numbers, and you will find whole companies feeding side by side while keeping sharp lookout for their bird enemies, but when 8 cater pillar is by himself he scarcely dares to move for fear of attracting atten- ton. Even when he is obliged to change his skin he doesn't venture to leave his old coat lying around. The moment that he takes it off he eats it.

Chimneys were scarcely known im England in the year 1900 One only was allowed in a religious house, one In a manor house and one in great hall of a castle or q lords house, bus in other houses the smoke found it's way out as it could.

 There were, says he, very few chimneys. Even in the capital towns the fire was laid to the wall. and the smoke issued out of the door, roof or window"
