ONE OP THEIR BATTLES.
Hugh S.-Fullerton. writing In the
August American Magazine on the
subject or baseball, on which he Is
an expert, describee the following
royal battle between two' baseball
generals: ' - E
“The beet laid and moat carefully
planned campaigns go sadly amiss
,and one of the Instances of this was
the miscarriage of a plan Chance of
Chicago laid last spring to beat 6t
Louis. 1 Sallee,' ‘The String Bean,'
a tall rangy pitcher who Is about
nineteen hands high add' left hand
ed, was pitching s strange game.
Regardless of who was.batting he
pitched the same way to each man,
I a curve over the plate, another
curve either on the inside or outside
corner, two fast side arm balls,
high and outside, and then a curve
below and over the plate- Bis
pitching, although monotonous, was'
effective, and for an odd reason.
“Chance had a theory that Sallee
lacked control. In spite of the fact
that he was qhowlng almost perfect
control, so he counseled a waiting
game and toll his men to 'lake two,'
which means they were not to strike
at either of the first two balls pitch
ed. As a consequence. Bailee had
the batter 'In the hole' an tho time,
that Is, had the advantage and when
they finally were compelled to hit,
they wers forced to hit his curve so
they did not do much hitting.
“By the middle of the game
Chanoe realised Sallee was not go
ing to be wild—and right there tbs
game ceased to be baseball and be
came a guessing match. Chanoe,
seeing Bcesnahan's plan of pitching,
exjfccted. him to change It, so he
stuck to . his original plan. Bresna-

OLDEST LIVING THINGS.
> It Is a common taunt by people
: of older nations, that America is a

L[ruln4 Our ruins,, may not- be mi-
' mefotis, but according to n writer
In .the Boston. Globe, the big trees Ot
1 California are, the oldest living
things In the world. Estimates made
1 from cross-seetloits of some of those
which have fallen show that the
mature trees are Mbre than 4,000
years old. There arentrees still
flourishing vigorously lm the Cala
veras grove which were pretty Well
grown at uptime which antedates
the pyramids of Egypt They were
centuries old when Rome was found
ed, hind -when Columbus started on
bis voyage of discovery they were
hoary with age.
Compared with these giant se
quoias every other living thing In
the world Is a creature of today,
and there are -only a few 'evidences
of man’s handiwork still In exist
ence—some of the ruins of ancient
Greses and Assyria—that were oon-
atrUcted-Al. an earlier date.
In one portion of the grove there
are ten tress each ot which has a
diameter of more than twenty-five
feet, and more than seventy with a
diameter of from fifteen to twenty-
five toqt The bark 1s from six ;
Inches to two feet In thickness, and ,
the trees are so hardy that forest t
fires produce almost no effect on :
them. Indeed, they are almost In- j
destructible except by man, and If j
saved from the ravages of tbe lum- j
berman there Is no reason to doubt l
that they will live for - many een- 1
tnrlcs to come.
But the necessity for. sueh pro- _
teetion Is revealed • In the statement,
