NEW PLAYERS
Fre?ih blood Appears on thn
Skagway l>i mom!
White I 'ass, 14: Thinl Infantry,
There has l>een an infusion of much
n>'* blood in the Skagway baseball
world. The game between those who
wore the uniform of the White Pass
club ami a team from the tirst batallion
of the Thinl infantry. Sunday, demon
strated that there is no dearth of good
timber in this city for baseball recruits.
Notwithstanding the absence of four or
live of the best of the White Pass play
ers, substitutes were secured who
flayed good ball. The new players in
cluded A. 15. Newell on first. J. P. Hol
ers in the right field and E. F. Pitt man
in the center field. All of them played
good ball, and Pittman never failed to
get to first base, at least, every time he
came up.
While the score was largely against
them and they were outplayed all
through the game, the soldiers showed
the possession of some good material.
Meyers, who pitched throughout the
game, showed a capacity for good work,
notwithstanding that he was wild yes
terday and jierraitted many men to get
to first on balls. Mann played well l>e
hind the bat . and the team's optain,
Fryar, was excellent at second.
The work of Skagway 's batterv,
Gault and Ulanchard, was excellent.
The White Pass lineup contained
many changes. It was:
Gault, pitcher: Uianchjrd, catcher:
harry, shortstop: Newell, first base: |
Sanford. -ccot.-l: Mcln'yre, third: Rog
ers. right field: 1'ittman, center, and
Olson, left.
The score by innings was:
White Pass 33303020 ?? 14
Third Infantry... 0 0 2 0 2 0 10 0-- 5
J. S. Harding, umpire.

ing the generalship of Manager Rec.
wick and Captain Kitzpatrick, the h<>?ts
w>re driven from the diamond with
great lo.-^ by the invincible Knights of
?he Monkey \V rench.
The tight was a great one. and the
bloodshed was terriffe. Poor old
^pauld ng's baseball was murd red:
ruthlessly, coldly butchered, and all to
make a holiday for the rank and tile,
the beauty andchiralry of the city, who
were the witnesses.
There was no time, after the first
bold charge of the Lobsters, when the
game was in doubt. The strong men
from the shop* took things in their own
hands, and showed co mercy.
Sime Billy, the lobster) went down
and out early in the ;?me. He chased
a liner, ho; from abig Monitey Wrench,
anil went down on his face, seriously iL
juring the right field. Captain Fitz
patrick got one chance in the center
field, and in trying to get out of the
way, he too. came to grief.
Kd. Barry, in a prize fighter's uni
form, and with guns ready for an
emergency, was umpire..

The Blur Una.
It would be liartl to Imagine a more
fantastic looking animal than the blue
gnu, which ranges In South Africa
from the Orange river north to Victo
ria Nyanza. It suggests to one coming
unexpectedly upon It and seeing It for
the first time u sort of Impossible
dream creature, a cross perhaps be
tween a buffalo and a nightmare. T?
the buffalo belong the neck and horns,
but the tall and the hind quarters are
those of a horse. The legs are a deer's
legs, but the head resembles that of no
other living animal. There seems to be
no doubt that the wild grotesqueness
of the apixvirance of the gnu Is a pro
vision of nature to protect the animal.
When frightened or disturbed these re
markable antelopes go through a series
of strange evolutions and extraordina
ry postures lu order to enhance as
much as possible the oddity and hld
eousness of their appearance and to
frighten away Intruders.
Hidden Tattoo Marks.
An escaped convict was on trial be
fore a French court, and the question
turned upon his identity with a prison
er known to have been tattooed. There
was no appearance of colored marks
upon his arm, and the question submit
ted to M. Leroy, the medico-legal ex
pert, was whether the man had ever
been tattooed. M. Leroy applied strong
friction to the skin of the man's arm.
This had the effect of bringing out
white lines as cicatrices, with a slight
bluish tint. By this means the word
"Sophie" was plainly legible In white
marks on the reddened skin. This
proved the identity of the convict
The Art of Naming Hor?e?.
I was asked to give the name for a
horse the other day. This Is not near
so easy as you might imagine. It Is
very seldom that the name of a horse
is altogether appropriate or Is entirely
satisfactory to the owner. Striking ex
amples of success may be found In
the astronomer who drives a tandem
and who christened his leader Apo
gee and his wheeler Peri-gee, and In
the medical student with a' similar
team who called his leader Os Frontls.
