Military Rifles Remodeled.
Nations with larire armies were often
loath to discard their old weapons and
frequently altered existing models to
bring them up to date. Thus we note
that England converted her old muzzle
loading Enfields in 1804 and 1800 to
use the Snider action with a metallic
cartridge case. In 1880 Austria adopt
ed the Manullcher .433 caliber with a
straight pull bolt action and a box
magazine, loading from a steel clip.
Two years later the caliber was re
duced to .315, using black powder. The
sights of these rifles were regraduated

HITLESS BASEBALL
Remarkable Record That Was Made
by Cy Young In 1904.
The proud record for pitching dii
seeutive innings of hitless baseball is
held by no less a personage than the
Hon. Denton Tecuniseh Young of
blessed buseball.memory. Mr. Young,
better known as "Cy," is the holder of
several records in Tin usual feats in the
pitching line.
It was' back in April, 1904, that
Young proceeded to .shatter all figures
in this line, and before he got through
he had created a new record in hurling
hitless ball and one which stands to
day clean cut and without a spot, or
blemish and without a fioubt the great
est piece of pitching the game ever
itnessed.
On April 30 against the Washington
team Young took Winter's place iu the
third inning, no one out, and pitched
out the game, retiring the next twenty
one batsmen in order. Young's next
game took place May 5 against the
Athletics. Cy pitched the best game
of his long and honorable career that
day and retired twenty-seven of those
famous swatsmen of Connie Mack in
row. In a game against Detroit on
May 11 Denton T. pitched his famous
fifteen inning 1 to 0 game against the
Tigers, aud in the first seven innings
Young set them flown without base
hit.
