STRlKE-OUT RECORD
 HELD BY TEXAS LAD
Pitcher Davis of kiiIeen High School Famed 24 Batsmen in Nine.
 Inning Game.

The record of "A strike-outs in a nine-inning game. credited to Pitcher Davis of the Killecn (TeXas) High school team in the contest against the Belton High school nine, on April 22, appears to rank with any pitching feat now recorded in the annals of baseball. So far as is shown by the leading compilations on baseball the feat stands in class by itself. Whe- ther it is a worlds record is hard to determine because unusual pitching exhibitions by amateur, school and college teams are not kept with the same care that is devoted to those of the major and minor leagues.
 So far as the records show it is; the best strike-out performance for a nine-inning game to be found an4onog the available data in existence today A careful search disclosed that the National league record of strike-outs under similar conditions, is 19 made by Charles Sweeney in the Provi- dence-Boston game of June [, 1884 The American league record was made

KAUFMAN WINS
 CHAMPIONSHIP IN TENNIS MATCH
Little Rock High Victor in Singles, Crossett and Pine
 Bluff Losing.

Charles Truthman of Little Rock yesterday won individual tennis cham
 pionship of the state of Arkansas in the high school division by defeating Julian Cross of Pine Bluff after a
 hard contest, the scores being 6-3, 2-6 and 6-1.
 This was the only tennis final
 played during the afternoon, and the tennis competition will be completed,
 in all probability, this forenoon, al- though it may run over until this aft
 ernoon. The weather was ideal and the court was in fine condition, al-
 though the small amount of outside space within the fencing was some thing of a handicap to the visiting players. There was good gallery of spectators throughout the afternoon.
 Cross of Pine Bluff defeated Rule
 of Crossett in the first match of the
 high school division by scores of 6-1,
 6-1, in straight sets. This was the only elimination contest necessary. Truthman and Rudisell of Little
 Rock defeated Gates and Drew of Crossett in the preliminary of the doubles, high school division, in straight sets, 6-3 and Glove. This morning the finals in doubles, high school division, will be played by Truthman and Rudisell for Little Rock against Cross and Parker for Pine Bluff.
 Because Hcnderson-B Brown repre-
 sentatives did not reach the city until late in the afternoon, it was possible
 to play only little more than one set in the college doubles tennis match yesterday. Hendrix won the first set, 6-5, and the play was stopped because of darkness when the score stood 2-all in the second set.
 The college doubles finals and singles finals will also be played this morning. All the tennis matches are
 being played on the courts at Sixth
 avenue and Main street, and spectators are expected to pay fee of 25 cents, which goes into the treasury of the
 state athletic association, and is used to defray expenses of contestants at the meet.

Theater Fires

The first of the many terrible thea
ter fires which have caused the death
of such multitude of amusement seek
ers occurred 303 years ago, when
Shakespeares Globe theater in London
was completely consumed by the
flames. The house was crowded to
its capacity to witness the play of
Henry WILL" but there was no panic
and the audience escaped unhurt. In
the early part of the last century three
London playhouSeS--the Surrey, the
Covent Garden and the Drury Lane
were destroyed by fire, and in 1911 the
first of the disastrous theater fires of
America occurred in Richmond, when
20 persons, including Governor Smith,
persisted in the flames. The Iroquois
theater fire in Chicago was the most
terrible of this character, 573 persons,
mostly women and children, having
been burned or trampled 20 death in
that horrible 1903 disaster.-New

for permission to amend the complaint
in his suit against Henry Johnson. q

years ago in an effort to put a silencer
on the dog. In December, 1910
SchoeneWerg was acquitted and
brought suit for $4,000 damages.
When the suit first came up Johnson,
an English instructor in the boys high
school, said the board of health had
advised the arrest and moved for dis
missal on the ground that the com
plant did not state whether the action
was for false arrest or malicious prose
cution. The purpose Of the new mo-
ton is to amend the complaint to
specify malicious prosecution.

improved Poorhouses for Wounded.

A significant sign of the times is
suggested in the ALLOCATE of certain
pOorhOuses throughout the United
Kingdom for the wounded soldiers.
In Dickens days the "Workus' was
synonymous with social pest. 1t
bred crime disease, and fastened the
death of thousands. In recent years
the WorkhOuse has arisen like palaces
all over the country, with spacious
grounds, walks, gardens, recreation
rooms, and fitted with every modern
facility for insuring the prolongation
and comfort of life. Now, they are
being equipped as hospitals for the
gallant British Tommy. Which fact
demonstrates the splendid service that
the old age pension act has been to
the country. The war, of course had
given temporary blow to poverty,
and made it impossible for the casual
ward professional to trade upon the
lack of work and opportunity. The
name of poorhouse will be expunged
from the new hospitals.

Garden Plots and Patriotism.

We farmers, as rule, are not q
class of men who can boast of bank
accounts upon which we might draw
to purchase American flags, so our
patriotism must manifest itself in
some other form. One of my patriotic
neighbOrs, by the way, has become so
enthuSed over the matter of prepared
ness that he has laid out his small
farm to resemble Old Glory, seven
rows of red-tOp beets representing the
CORY stripes, with six rows of white
turnipS alternated between them. On
one corner of the plot six rows of cab
bage heads indicate the 4S stars of the
Union Jack, and on the fence post at
the upper corner of this American
vegetable flag sits q stuffed henhawk
with spread wings resembling the.
American eagle. This is not all. No,
indeed He has arranged set of
bugle calls for the dinner horn which
begin at the hour Of reveille and at
which every member Of his patriotic

FAVORITE ROSES
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN

ny CLiZS6E n VAN BEN ~ DEN,
There is absolutely nothing in the
realm of eSthetic culture that is so
thoroughly dominated by personal ia
vor as the selection of a pet rose.
Every lover of the garden and of the
home beautiful selects favorite rose
almost as soon as the interest of flower
culture is born.
[ have been much interested in the
seasons favorites and the reasons
given by rose enthusiasts for their
likes and dislikes. They offer to the
student and the culturist valuable
hints in the care and selection of any
favOrite, because what one may find as
an argument for his pet blossom may
be equally true in any number of cases
and many of my readers may be able
readily to meet the claims advanced by
others and find equal merit for their
own selections.
The delicate formation, cOlOring and
perfume of the rose all combine to
make its study especially worth while.
Intelligent choice of favorite often
marks the flowe~ lover as gifted-and

TO SAVE BIRD SANCTUARY
Audubon Societies Working to Pre-
vent Threatened Destruction of
Reservation in OREGON.

The destruction of one of the larg-
est. If not the largest, federal bird
reservation in the United States is
threatened, according TO an announce
ment made by L. Gilbert Pearson OF
New York city, secretary of the Ma
dOnal Association of Audubon socie-
ties. The reservation threatened is at
Lake Malheur, in southeastern Oregon,
and is a breeding place for hundreds
of thousands of wild ducks, wild geese
and other water fowl.
Application has been made to the
federal authorities for permission to
drain the lake in order to secure the
land it covers The lake is six miles
wide by ID miles long, and is about
six feet deep. 1t supplies an ideal
breeding place for wild water fowl,
Mr.. Pearson says, and, therefore, it
attracts wild geese and ducks from
Canada in large numbers. Its de-
struction, he declares, will leave thou
sands of young water fowl without a
home.
Secretary Pearson has taken the
matter UP with the officials of the
general land office, who have prom
ised to investigate. 1t is understood
that those who plan the destruction
Of the bird reservation have already
secured the cooperation of the state
land board of Oregon. For that rea-
son, Mr.. Pearson regards the situation
as imminent and believes it will re-
quire quick and earnest appeals to the
secretary of the interior from those
who believe in the protection of wild
birds, to prevent the destruction of the
colony.
'There are about five million guns
In the United States" said Mr.. Pear
son, ''and the only way to preserve
our migratory game birds is to have
these sanctuaries-areas in which
they can never be killed. under any
circumstances"
