After battling twelve and a half innings with the score a deadlock, one to one, and threatening to remain so. an Ink-black colored lad wandered onto the field and ported out the bats for the locals. From the moment this unsolicited mascot put in his appearance It was all off with Muncie. Mr. Hay, who had been twirling the tightest kind of a game, let down, realizing that it was useless to trifle with fate, and immediately Messrs. Fleming, Parker and Cameron proceeded to pole In the winning count. This thirteen inning contest was by far the best witnessed on the home grounds this season. For ten innings Mason and Hay foneht it out in a brilliant manner. At. t'.ie close of that inning Mason was taken ill and Fleming was substituted. He was just as Mingy as Mason. Hay twilled the best pmo he has ever wo'kcd in at Athletic park. Ho only allowed tiie locals tseven hits and issued only one pass to first base. His only other miscue was tickling Cameron in the gizzard. In the ten innings Mason worked he allowed just four hits, gave one pass and caused the crowd to rise in rebellion when he was taken out of the game. The big fellow was ill when Manager .lessup withdrew him while Fleming was fresh and in fine trim. It did not take the bugs long to realize the wisdom of this action. As the pamo was a tie when Mason was withdrawn he gets the credit of winning the contest Splendid Support. Roth teams gave their box artists splendid support. The two outfields had a busy day and everv chance was taken without a wobble. Shinn took the honors in the gardens by pulling down with his gloved hand a line drive that looked good for a homer. Shinn was running with his back to the stands when he UoU the ball. The Richmond infield had all kinds of business to transact. Jim Cameron accepted twenty-one chances by t-mart fielding. Patsy Saunian. the prominent pretzel king of Indianapolis, bad twelve opportunities and he grasped ten of "eni. Parker made two brilliant plays in the six chances presentel to hint while .lohnnv Rambaugh jtrave a beautiful exhibition of third base play. Muncie made its one and only count in the third. Hay lel oft' with a hit and Harry Hamhaimh sacrificed him to second, from where he counted on Peck's long out to Shinn, which out was accomplished by Shinn's sensational catch. In the fourth Rauman led off with a sitiKle and Hurst was given a pass to first. Pierce sacrificed both of them. Johnny Rambaugh then hit to his kid brother Harry but Kaunian was almost home before Harry fielded the ball, so be was forced to throw to first to catch big brother In the fifth Muncie made a near attempt at scoring. Johnny Pamhaugh's other little brother, Jonas, led off with a mighty wallop which counted for three bases. Mason ihen screwed down his delivery until the washer threatened to break and tin.1 next three men were easily retired. In the seventh and ninth the hostiies were threatening and there was much palpitation of the heart among the truly loyal. Mr. Mason again manned the tire hose and quenched the hopes of his gentlemanly antagonists. In the eighth our D A.s threatened to disturb the pleasing monotony of the contest by prying in the winning count. With one down Mason and Parker singled but Cameron popred out and Rauman forced Parker at second. In the thirteenth Jessup flew out then Fleming and Parker Fingled. Cameron smashed one at Harry Rambaugh but Fleming beat the throw to the vdato. Great doings. Sumnwrv : Muncie. H. B'baugh. i Teck. Sb.. . Gillis, rf.. .. Wills, lb.. . Hall. cf. . Howling. 2b. Jo.

The opportunity is now ripe for enterprising young '.msinpss men i of this city to take over the manage, j merit of the base ball club. It would be a. poor advertisement for this city if the local club was permitted to "go to the wall." Richmond is a eood base ball town and if the flub had a satisfactory business management, it would only be a short time before bar.e ball would be a paying investment. More along this line could be said, but it would be a poor reflection on the present business management, of the Richmond team and charity bids us refrain.

"What was it like, that battle of Manila Bay, do you ask?" The thunders of heaven would have been lost in its din.

What a picture it would make that battle, the last of the Spanish fleet, the Ion Antonio de Ulloa. She fought, sinking a foot a minute!

"Who is that brute?" demanded the prince on his arrival. "The lender of the swordsmen," they answer d him. Juirozayemou seated himself in silence and begun to suck.'. Having smoked his pipe, he emptied the glowing cinders into the pretended sleeper's nostrils, repeating this five times, when he paused, astounded by such courageous endurance. Choi-!, noting this, yawned, rubbed his eyes like one awakening from profound slumber aud exclaimed: "You. oh. most nuble master! And I. having drunk too much, should have slept uncovered before your eyes! How shall 1 excuse my vulgarity?" "I j-ve so long sought your acquaintance that you are forgiven. Re seated and accept this cup of wine. I beg you." Politeness forbade Cbobei to refuse a drop of the proffered cup. a huge beaker of powerful wine, offered him in the hopes of overpowering him. Rut Chobei drained it easily and, replenishing it. presented it to his host, who accomplished this feat with the utmost difficulty. "Will your highness permit me to offer you some gift of value?" Chobei asked humbly. "Surely." "What do you most desire?" Thinking to render the brave ridiculous before the whole city, the prince said promptly. "A plate of macaroni." "Ah, OJhobei." thought he, "the whole town will soon be telling how the great duelist was permitted only to offer a plate of macaroni to the president of the Ilatamotos." After a whispered colloquy the attendant disappeared, leaving the two enemies alone, smiling, but Impassive. Rut soon a great noise penetrated the npartnient, and the prince discovered a crowd of workmen busily constructing an immense wall of macaroni around the tea house. U Yeddo was assembled to view this unique and royal gift Discomfited that the "bravo" should have outwitted his ruse, the prince departed to plan revenge. The following day brought with it an Invitation from Juirozayemon to breakfast. Despite his comrade's remonstrances Chobei Insisted on accepting it. As lie entered the prince's dwelling the samurais threvr themselves upon him with drawn swords. Chobei's immense muscular strength enabled hiiu to disarm them, when be proceeded unannounced to the rear apartment. "Pardon me, your lordship," paid he, "for announcing myself. Your attendants have forgotten to do so." "Surely. Perhaps they have sought quarrel with yo;i. 'Twas but a joke, for I wagered that all six could not disarm you. Perhaps you would like a bath to refresh yourself." Who shall say that Chobei was wise? Alone ia his enemy's house, he discarded his weapons, removed Lis garments and crouched ia the l ath. The water that was at first hot was soon boiling. Chobei dashed from the bath, but ten spears heid by invisible hands forced him back. Suffocated by steam, exhausted by blood. Chobei fell dying to th ground. The samurais were still congratulating themselves on their success when a loud knocking was heard.

Ilory turn on the strop reverses the direction -f the bend near th.' eotfe. and. although the amount of boi. ..-j; is too slight er to bring about actual breakage of such an elast.c metal a hardened steel, it yet sufficient to bring about a hang in the metal which renders It less elastic and able to stand the strain. This is why a razor which has been used long ceases to out w ell or to hold a good edge. "Now it has been discovered that steel which ha lost its proper elastie : qualities by such a process of fatigue, as it is called, is capable of recovering Its good qualities under favorable riv- . cumstam-es. It will recover in this ; way If left at rest, though this 1h . comparatively slow process, which explains the fact that a tool which ha , become useless through continued uss will be as gid as ever after a prolongj ed rest. Rut recovery w ill take placw much more rapidly if the steel be warmed, so that a few minutes' exposure to the temperature of lading waler will bring about recovery to an esI tent that would have required several , days' rest at the ordinary tempera- ! tures. This fact explains the advantage to be derived from the familiar practice of 'steaming' a razor lefore use." Don't Starve Your ttlrd. It is a common mistake to think that pets con only be taught when hungry and to commence a blrd'a training by depriving It of breakfast, dinner or supper is n most unhappy beginning. In reality the feathered folk are Just as apt and full of fun after a comfortable meal as before It, and to starve, scold or otherwise 111 treat Hie llttl creature will usually render It too unhappy to learn quickly If at all. ltirds are extremely nervous beings. They love a low, quiet voice and gentle movement-love to be talked to, coaxed and made ninch of. If the pet is a new one and seema specially excitable or timid, you will have to teach it first of all not to feur yon. Any little pame he is to learn must be acquired afterward.
