BASE BALL * Rosenthals Win Easily from Winchester Defeat Visitors by a Score of Eleven to Four.—Many Brilliant Plays. Winchester was the worthy opponents of the Rosenthals at Steele's park Sunday, and the score of eleven to four tells the whole story of Winchester's defeat. Although outhit and out-tie]ded the boys who live forty miles south on the Grund Rapids railroad, made a game fight, and were dangerous opponents. Right off the reel Winchester t farted out Hke old-time winners, and for the two innings had the Rosenthals on the run, and it looked as though they were going Io make their assertion good—hut ns out, as they nearly did Bluffton and Muncie and other crack base la 11 ports, et oetra. I But oh, how sad! and what a yel- | low difference in the aftern<«>n. It must be said that Catcher Oren worked like a camel looking for an oasis in Central Africa, but was not given a sprig from a possible green spot and the fat on his ‘’writing hand" went with the butchers' strike. Thus it shows us plainly how fickle is “Dame Lack" to enc< >urage a team for a short time and then wholly ignore their efforts I and smile with encouragement and | victory for your opponents; and i this is j«st what happened. After I the third inning there was nothing doing for.Winchester and in the re- * rnainder of the game they were prei sented with a beautiful string of . ostrich eggs, while every member of the Rosenthals got busy, and from the third inning Winchester's | outfield was kept busy handling the ■ fusilade of base hits that mean- , dered their way, and together with several miscues by their infield the Rosenthals gathered in a cluster ' of runs that averaged from one to four in every inning, making their total eleven. Daring the early j>art of the game the Rosenthals put up a miserable exhibition, making several costly errors that resulted in four runs for Winchester. There were a number of j brilliant plays made byboth teams, which were highly applauded by the fans, and each player was complimented upon the part he had in the play. Undoubtedly taking it on a whole the game was one of the most interesting played ; here this season and showed that Winchester has a fine set of ball players, who are gentlemen as well. The Rosenthals play at Winchester Sunday, August 7. SCORE.

COLLECTIVE NAMES. ’ ~ Old English Term* For Group* of l'er»on» and Anluiah. In a book on British sports, written In the eighteenth century, Joseph I Strutt gives the old English terms for ; groups of various beasts as follows: , “When beasts went together in compinies there was said to be a pride of lions, a lepe of leopards, a herd of ; harts, of bucks and of all sorts of deer; • bevy of roes, a sloth of boars. a sownder of wild swine, a drift of tame ; swine, a route of wolves, a harras of i horses, a rag of colts, a stud of mares, a pace of asses, a baren of mules, a ( team of oxen, a drove of kine. a flock | of sheep, a tribe of goats, a skulk of l foxes, a cete of badgers, a richness of martins, a fesynes of ferrets, a buske ' or a down of hares, a nest of rabbits, [ a clowder of cats and a kyndall of young cats, a shrewdness of apes and a labor of moles." Similar terms were applied to gatherings of human beings. Strutt gives them as follows: *’A state of princes, a skulk of thieves, an observance of hermits, a lying of pardoners, a sub- ; tiltle of sergeants, an untruth of somp- . ners. a multiplying of husbands, a safeguard of porters, a stalk of foresters, a blast of hunters, a draft of but- I lers. n temperance of c«oks, a melody of harpers, a poverty of pipers, a I drunkenship of cobblers, a disguising , of taylors. a wandering of tinkers, a nialpertness of pedlars, a fighting of beggars, a rayful—that is. a netful—of , knaves, a blush of boys, a bevy of la lies, a nonpatience of wives, a gag'e cf women, a gagle of geese.” In the old days the word "leash" was applied to three greyhounds, while two I were “a brace.” On the other hand, | two spaniels or harriers were called "a couple." A number of hounds went under the term of "a mute of hounds.” I while It was correct to speak of “a kennel of raches. a litter of whelps and a cowardice of curs.” WHY THEY ARE POOR. Their ideas are larger than their purses. They are easy dupes of schemers and promoters. They reverse the maxim, “Duty be fore pleasure.” They have too many and too expensive aniuserjents. They do not think it worth while to save nickeis and dimes. They have risked a competence in trying to get rich quickly They allow friends to impose upon their good nature and generosity. They try to do what others expect of them, not what they can tfford. . I They prefer to incur debt rather than to do work which they consider beneath them. They think It will be time enough tc begin to save for a rainy day when the rainy day comes. They risk all their eggs in one basket when they are not in a position te watch or control it.—Success. The Only Obligation. A story that comes from a country region not far from New York concerns a native who was seen stolidly plowing a field with a team of weary’ and dejected horses. As they approached the observer of rural life remarked sympathetically that the horses "didn't seem to like the work.” “Um," commented the farmer briefly, “they don't have to like it. They only have to do it.”—Harper's Weekly. Pair of Plaintiffs. “See here.” exclaimed the angry man. “I wish you would muzzle that dog of yours at night. His barking keeps my baby awake.” "I was just going to request you to muzzle your baby.” rejoined the neighbor. “His nightly howling annoy* my — e . —tst. Louis Republic.
