Ills fol lowing Is clamoring for victory , and his players are downcast. Do llnds that he must work his reg ulurs men he Is absolutely sure of Probably when n game is cinched o defeat is certain he'll send In one o the youngsters to get a Hue on bis new recruits.

With Jennings It Is different. While his seven rivals are worrying about not being able to give each ono of the recruits the proper amount of study , Jennings simply smiles and sits back calmly to Judge each youngster on his individual merit. While victory Is always sweet to him , the loss of one , two or even more games Is nothing vital with tbo lead bo has. He can afford to take chances. no cnn send youngsters In to pltcb day after day until they have all shown him not once but many times what they can do In the box , and un der safe cover of that lead bo can ex periment too. He can work all sorts of plans out on his team with nevet a fenr of having some other team over haul him. This docs not mean much now , but In the inldsonson to come it does , foi then , while other managers are worry ing because their veterans are show ing signs of tiring after their hard spring service , his should be In the best of condition , because in getting into shape In the early stages thej were not overworked. And while oth er managers hnvo not dared to try oui new men or now plans of attack anc defense ho has been developing bis ten ID along these lines. It's not tin * load they have now tha1 counts : It's how that load will affee the play of the Tigers In July and Au gust and September that worries th < men who figure on passing Detroit.

"Ono of the difficulties of quail shooting Mrs In thu very fact that would apparently make his killing a simple proposition , his rising near the gun , " says Charles Ask In in Outing. "Let me illustrate : If n quail rose within ten feet of the gun and contin ued sailing around the shooter's head at a mlle a minute gait tbo chances are that he couldn't bo killed in ten shots , both the bird and the gun changing nnglo with a rapidity beyond the ability of the mind to calculate. In the same way n close springing bird may change bis anglo with regard to the gun so rapidly ns to entail a long and accurate swing bcforo ho can bo covered. The nature of the quail's flight fre quently mnkcs this long swing un avoidable. The bird may rise to the north , pass to the west nnd bo killed to the south. Had it bcciii possible to foresee that the bird would swing about to the south before being killed the gun might have been pointed there , rendering unnecessary a complex gun movement , but meantime the quarry would probnbly hnvo gene In some other direction. The qunll work that calls for cnro and skill is cover shoot ing , und the only safe rule there is to point your gun as near the bird as you can when he breaks and shoot as quickly as you can get on. " HOUSEHOLD SNAKES. GIbola * Are Used at Domestic Rat Catchers In Brazil. In certain parts of Brazil , where the cllmato is intensely hot and where rats are a great nuisance , the common cat does not thrive , but is replaced by a domestic rat catcher whose presence causes a decidedly unpleasant sensa tion to visitors from the north when first they como In contact with the creature. Glbolas are a species of small boa constrictor employed very generally in Brazil for the purpose above men tioned They are not nt nil venomous. They sleep In the house , generally taking up their position atthe foot of the stairs. When nightfall approaches they begin to wake up. and during the night they slide swiftly about the promises , looking for rats. Glholns nre offered for sale In the markets of Bnhln nnd Pernnmbuco for prices ranging from SI to So. accord ing to thi' size of the creature.

Roy Bovee , tlio former Norfolk boy but now Plorce's star pitcher , was Immmered for seven hits by the locals on the driving park diamond Sunday afternoon , and his team lost to Nor folk by the narrow margin of 4 to 3. Boveo pitched n splendid game , but his teammates fumbled the ball occa sionally , and with n heavy northwest wind In favor of both teams , the game was played with great excitement. Denton , the little high school boy pitcher , battled against men of experi ence , but Plerco only netted five hits from him and lie only allowed one base on balls , while his more experi enced opponent gave the locals two bases on balls. Boveo and his team came to Nor folk with many Pierce fans and up to the first of the seventh the score stood 3 to 1 In Plorce's favor. Several er rors on the part of Norfolk's infield netted the visitors two scores in the sixth. Schwerln and Person , who um pired the game , had difficulty in mak ing decisions , because of the heavy wind. Boveo lined out a long one into the right field. For a few seconds it looked like a home run , but the wind carried the ball beyond the foul flags and ho took another turn at the bat. Denton did not allow him to go past first base. The Saving Seventh. As usual , Norfolk tied the score In the lucky seventh on clean hits by Krnhn and Glissman. In the last of the eighth Denton won his own game with a pretty single , bringing In Schelly. Pierce tried very hard to tie the score In the ninth. Franke was struck out and Kordts singled. Bovee was relied upon to bring him home , but ho also struck out. Kordts stole and was holding down third , trying repeatedly to reach home plate. It was an exciting moment and the , crowd of 400 fans rooted at the top of their voices. Tiff was struck out and , Norfolk won the game amid great cheers. Fans Flock On Diamond. So excited was the crowd at one time that the game was delayed for ten minutes , before the police could drive the rooters from the diamond. The score : Pierce AB. R. H. O. A. E.

Sqtnro rigged ships can , in cnso of necessity , be made to sail rudder tore- most , and there are many cases known where ships have Bailed in that re versed order. Only n few years ago n case was recorded of such backward ailing. Ouo Instance where the maneuver was employed by a genius In battle tactics rather than under the need of marine disaster is a brilliant chapter In the history of Old Ironsides. This account Is taken from Maclay's naval history : "Tho Bterumost ship wns observed liming up so as to tnko a raking posi tion across the Constitution's stern. Mindful of his danger , Captain Stew art suddenly braced his main and mlz- zcn topsails flat to the mnst , shook all forward , let go his Jib sheet and quiet ly but swiftly backed , under cover of the smoke , abreast the rear ship.
