Tigers and Chill was soon lost entire
ly from view. What happened while
the athletes crowded around him will
probably v be known, suffice it to
say that when the debris was cleared
away Bush, Young and Heilman had
been sent to the showers.
A few seconds later Manager
Hughey Jennings was requested to
Join his unruly athletes. At this stage
Jennings, although mad all over,
proved that his ever-ready wit never
deserted him. Because Of the sew
eral men who had been put out Of the
game by Chill it was necessary that
a number of substitutes be made. Os-
car Stanage, one of the Tiger catch
ers, was away out in left field warm
ing up a pitcher.
AS Jennings went to the clubhouse
he notified Chill that Stanage was
acting manager. Chill in turn was
forced to walk several hundred feet
into left field to notify Stanage, who
was the most surprised individual in
the world at the honor so suddenly
thrust upon him.

Very Difficult to Make
Rules for Pronouncing
Words of Our Language

A good American citizen was mildly
indignant on being told that he was
not correct in saying, an give you
my address," with the accent on the
first syllable of his last word.
Certainly that's right" he said.
There's q well-knOwn rule that when
a t~wo-syllable word is used both as a
noun and as q verb, it's accented on
the first syllable if it's a o u and on
the last if it's a verb. Why, I'll under
take to give you a dozen instances off
hand"
And he proceeded, with a little time
for cOgitation, to produce the follow
ing exhibits, all of which undoubtedly
comply with his specifications:
Convict, export, import, annex, con-
duct, desert, compound, contest, pro-
duce, present, rebel, record.
"Your rule is a failure, neverthe-
less" said his friend and critic. Il
admit that it seems to work with the
words you have mentioned; but I'll
undertake to give you twice as many,
and equally common ones, that falsify
it,"
And he did. 1t did not take him five
| minutes to think of two dozen words
used both as and as verbs and
| pronounced identically in both senses.
Cover, credit, merit, offer, honor,
thunder, order, rescue, reason, season
master, purchase-in these the accent
is always on the first syllable; while
it is always on the last syllable in re-
| port, account, exchange, control, com
mand, attack, effect, advance, attempt,
preserve, ally and alarm.
All of which goes to show that it is
very difficult TO make rules for the
pronunciation of our noble and be-
loved, but u~nacCOuntable language

Flatfishes Which Spend
Lives on the Bottom Have
Both Eyes on Right Side

OF 'iatfisheS" there are q number
of species. Some of them are called
"founders," and among them are the
true "sOles," so highly esteemed by
the epicure.
The giant Of their tribe is the hall
but, which is rarely found in waters
off u w coasts, being a true Arc
tic fish. 1t attains a weight Of 4OC
pounds.
Like all other flatfishes, the halibut
has a blind side" That is to say,
both Of it's eyes are on one side Of its
head. Now, why should this be the
case?
A baby founder has its eyes prop
erly arranged, one on each side Of the
head.
AS the little halibut, or infant
founder, grows bigger, it's left eve
gradually grows over toward the right
side Of the fish, until at length both
It's eyes are on that side.
But this, from it's point of view, is
highly desirable, inasmuch as it will
spend its life lying on the bottom,
mostly, and IN its left side. In this
position, and with both eyes on the
right side Of its head, it is "okeh."

Apple Peel Tells Fortune.

A very common way for q girl to
tell her future husbands name, or, at
any rate, the first letter Of his name,
writes a correspondent, is to peel an
apple in such a way that the peel
comes off in n piece. She should
then gently twirl it round her head
three times, finally casting it over her
left shoulder onto the floor, where it
will be found to have formed a letter
which is the initial Of her future hus-
bands name.

An Annoying Insect.

The kind Of insect that gets all
through the house, on furniture and
especially on books, is about the size
OF a chicken louise and looks like a
louise OF some kind. IL it is glisten-
Ing in appearance and silver gray in
'olor, 1t Is probably what Is popular
~ known as the fish moth. 1t will do
considerable damage to Numbered
clothes-attracted by the starch-book
bindings, wall paper and similar mate
:ial. Fresh bubach sprinkled about
freely and often will discourage 1t.
Sweetened paste poisoned with white
arsenic Is another good remedy.

SPORTS

It is uncertain whether Jess Will lard really believes he is good enough to defeat Jack Dempsey, or whether the lure of a hundred thousand dol lars stacked high enough by Tex Richards hands proved strong enough to drag him from his pacifist avo- cations First consideration, follow ing the signing of the champion to meet some fighter whom Rickard may pick would indicate that the for mer is the case, but the money is the real motive. Willard's retirement extended over such long period that he hardly is likely to reach the superb condition he attained before he defeated Jack Johnson
 Rickard knows the ins, outs, back wards and forwards of the pronot ing game. No one would accuse him of being nearsigkted enough to be- lieve that any one but Jack Demp scy is capable of drawing enough mcney with Willard to make the tre mondou3 qua rantee at the gate, and provide something for the promot- CT. Therefore, Willard, 1t may be de.,uc;ed e,rce.s to meet Dempsey Wkca Johnson defeated Jeffres in E9no almost ten years ago, the fight CTS split $127,000, with Jeffries pull ing down a big sum for his efforts. Willard is getting the biggest guar antee ever offered a boxer It is probable, however, that Dempsey will decline to fight for less than $25 1000 for he would be at great expense in making ready for the bout. There. fore the amount that Will go to these battlers, probably will constitute the largest sum for which any two boxers ever agreed to mingle.
 Rickard is not only the most ia nous gambler with attractions of this sort that the world has ever seen. but he plays in uncanny good fortune with his bouts. Taking this as an indication, it may be expected that the greatest crowd in pugil- ism's history will help to pay for the exhibition. He promoted the Moran Willard bout in NewsYork, and made big sum for himself, and his Jef- fries-Johnson venture also lined his pockets well. Rickard stated before leaving New York that he intended making an effort to land Willard, and that he expected to build an arena to seat about 50,00O persons He then had his eye on Illinois. pro. viding the boxing bill under contem. plation was passed by the Legisla. ture. The fact that articles of agree ment wore signed calling for any number of rounds up to forty. probab- ly puts Illinois out of the running.
