Having left red trail of wrack wreck and destruction through the West, the Giants return to Eastern soil may be one of the large psy- chological spots of the 1916 flag race.
 On the Eastern front the Giants have known nothing but disaster. Their lines here were broken in so many places that the enemy romped through in platoons, claiming the capture of many prisoners and many guns. But on the Western front these losses were fully recovered, the shattered lines were reformed and no thought of peace was entertained. And now the Giants are headed back East again for an eight-game stand against two of the divisions that cut them into thin strips earlier in the year. They will face the same rough-house opposition that upset them so badly at the start, but the impetus from that Western sweep is not to be overlooked.
 At Home and Abroad.
 A day or two ago a fan sent in this query: Just what percentage is there in favor of the club playing at home?"
 There was a, time when this per- centage was marked. In the old days it was hard to beat many clubs at hcme, where the ump mpiring was large ly influenced by the desire of the rabid rooter. Today there is prac- tically no advantage in playing at home. Many clubs are better on the road than in their own bailiwick. The Giants have won but one game at home all year. The rest of their victories have been seined up while abroad.
 In 1911 the Giants fell down at home but finally won the flag through a great Western trip, where they won IT out of 21. r
 In 1912 Washington was away to a bad start at home but won 16 straight from the West, giving her new grip on the situation >
 In 1914 the Braves got their pen rant start on the road, after having played badly in Boston surroundings. We haven't the exact figures before us, but we should say there is very little difference in the home and foreign yield of the average club. This spring nearly every club has done better on the road than at home, Home clubs have been trimmed steadily, and the result has had a depressing effect upon many com munities, which can stand the mere reading of defeat as long as they can look upon victories.

The Pro. Revival.

Golf pros, who had to spend most of their time teaching the young and old idea how to shoot have not been any too greatly elated by the success of amateurs in the last three open championships. Ouimet, an amateur, won the open in 1913; Evans, an amateur, finished second, one stroke out. in 1914; Travers, an amateur, won again in 1915. But unless Evans can handle the field without the help there will be a pro, revival this June at Minneapolis, for neither Travers nor Ouimet expects to play. But Evans alons, in a medal round com petition, is not to be eliminated be- fore the first blow is struck.
 Our idea of nothing to bring suit fcr-a wrestling championship You'd think a fellow would want such facts suppressed in place of going to court to have them proved. After all, what can you expect with nearly two bill lion people making-up the world.

Boys Handle Dangerous Reptiles Like
Professional charmers.
Galena, Kan.-Two small boys, VIII
lie and Robert Shorl, the elder Of
whom is about fourteen, have produc-
ed new sensation in the vicinity of
their home at Five Mile, where they
have cage full Of writhing snakes of
many varieties. They play with these
reptiles without the least sign of fear,
going through with all the stunts of
professional snake charmers.
The collection consists of black
snakes, blue racers, chicken snakes
and three ugly looking tattlers. On
Saturdays they usually go to Snake
branch and hunt for more reptiles.
However, these new reptiles are not
placed with their ''pets,' but kept in
separate cage, and are usually shipped
to owners of small shows and muse
ums, from whom they get from So to
IS for each reptile.
Neither Of the boys has ever been
bitten. The older boy gave a lecture
on snakes before the pupils of the
Shoal Creek school. He surprised
teacher and pupils alike by his CLASH
fcation OF reptiles, giving their Latin
names and discussing the harmless or
dangerous varieties, taking each from
a box as he explained their varied hab-
its.

Wichita, Kan.-Mrs. John Matthews
residing on Kelly street, stopped abrupt
ly in front of 312 West Third street
one morning lately. Inside chicken
fence were many chickens. Among
them We're four large White Orping-
tons. She observed them keenly.
Those are mine," she said, satisfied.
and then she sought out her husband.
Together they went to city court and
got out search and seizure warrant.
Then, in company with William Bal
lard, deputy marshal, they went back
again to 312 West Third street, opened
the chicken yard gate and walked into
the pen.
A woman ran out on the back porch
and demanded to know what business
the party had in her chicken yard.
Just came after my chickens" re.
torted Mrs. Matthews as she called to
her ''pets." The four big chickens ran
up to her, and she picked them up.
Il had 'em marked with blue rib-
bons," she told the marshal as she
lifted the feathers on the legs. Sure
enough there were the ribbons!

you can have them"
