hits and runs
rhe coming OF little Louie TO the Athletics
was an accident. Before he became mascot he
attended all the home games, and It was
bhortly after the opening of the season in 1900
while he was perched in his regular seat above
the Athletics dugout at Shbe Park, that his
chance came. The "A's'' had been losing too
steadily just then TO suit Mack, and 1t was

There will be a revival of the Bermuda

claimed by owners of fair-sized boats that
they had no chance of success against
smaller craft because the time allowance
was excessive. Under these rules the
Philadelphia boat, Dream. won the race
for two successive seasons and then the
event was abandoned Now the rules
have been changed. In taking the horse
