THE ENCHANT MOUSE.

caught a mouse in a wire trap. She

when. to her surprise, the mouse spoke
to her.

chanted mouse and have in days gone

to come into my own again. Give me
life and you will never regret it,"

the bread and cheese in my pantry

your request.
THAT l WILL" said the mouse, land

So the wife opened the trap and the
mouse ran into a big hole in the wall.
What are you doing?" asked her
who came in at that moment.
When h wife told him what the
mouse had said he was very angry.
Why did you not make a wish?" he
said. IF 1t is an enchanted mouse he
car grant anything, and here we are
living in this old hut and I never in
all my life had enough tobacco to fill
my pipe. Call him back and wish that

So the wife went to the hole and
called:

The wife did as the mouse said. and

Wild Throws and FumbleS
Give Giants Five of
Their Seven Runs.
BROOKLYN GATHERS
ONLY FOUR TALLIES
Rube Benton Driven from Box
thousand Soldier Boys
See Game.
By FRANK O'NEILL.

A little wild throwing and bit Of
fumbling are dangerous in the busi-
ness Of baseball. They may turn a
seemingly won victory into a defeat.
But a lot of wild throwing and lot Of
fumbling are fatal, and invariably. re
suit in disaster. So u was at Eobets
Field Yesterday afternoon. The Brook
lyn Robins Just booted and threw the
ball around like a lot of reservation
Indians, and the Giants won by score
Of to in the first game of the
series.
While Brooklyn was committing lot
of atrocities in the name of baseball
the Philles turned TO and trounced
the Boston Braves in Philadelphia.
This drew Moran's bunch within one
game of the Robins, while the victory
OF the Giants broke the tie for third
place with the Boston Braves.
No fewer than five Of the seven runs
scored by New York traced their origin
back to an error OF some sort or an
other. When Ivy Olson was not kick
ing the ball around III Myers was.
When those worthless kept on the
straight and narrow path Nike Mowrey
took a dash down the primrose alley
ana when all otner HchHe iatlVu '"SiN
was Larry Cheney always ready TO step
into the breach with couple OF Wild
pitches, or Jimmie Johnston to make a
wild return from right field. Small
wonder it was, then. that Brooklyn was
beaten. The Giants. betimes, played
consistent, If not brilliant, baseball,
and surely consistency is a jewel.
Hard Hitting.
Every single one OF Brooklyn's runs
was scored off Rube Benton, and every
one of them was earned. Hitting Of
the hardest and cleanest drove them
over, but here was just another in
stance of the good works of a team
being nullifed in few moments Of
distraction when mind and muscle re-
fused TO coordinate.
II was Soldiers Day at the Fla-
bush stadium, and about one thousand
or more boys Of the 23d. 47th and l4th
regiments Of the National Guard of
the State Of New York were the guests
Of the club. The fans in mufti cheered

HAS anybody a penny? demanded
the head Of one of the biggest finan-

no one volunteered the loan to the

Finally a newspaper man reached

handed IL over TO Mr.. Morgan without
demanding any security, collateral or
otherwise.
The newspaper man is still telling all
those who will listen that he has just
made a slight advance TO the house of
Morgan TO tide the firm over tinan-

the keeper Of the bughouse in this
town is following him with a hungry
