Pendleton 3 1 .750
Weston 3 1 .750
Pilot Hook 3 3 .500
Athena 0 4 .000
Exoept for a bright spot now and
then, the game between Weston and
Athena in tbis city Snnday waa medi
oore in the extreme. A total of eleven
offeuces crept into the error oolomn,
eight of which were made by Athena
at times when they counted in the
inn-mating.
The game dragged throngh two
bonis and 15 minutes of monotonous
play, the only redeeming feature be
ing Dave Stone's spectacular oatoh
oat in oenter garden, which elicited
an old time hand clapping in the
grand stand.
Jaok Keefe, the Weston catcher, im
personated Danny Shea to a frazzle.
Ilia rag-chewing and stunts around
home plate brought forcibly to mind
tho.Hntios of the old "yellow kid"
premier oatoher, and he euie got what
was coming to him from the side
linns. The mountaineers scored twice
in the first inning. Keefe, first man
up went to second on h. Lieuallen's
wild heave to Willaby. Wilson fan
ned W. Nordean. A. Nordean took
first on Wilson's booting of a slow
grounder and Keefe soored. Barnes
luoed out a single, Nordean going to
third. Wheeler was safo at first on
a fielders choice, Nordean scoring the
second run on the play. Maloney
went out, h. Lienallen to Willaby,
and Wheeler at second.
Athena tied the score in her half of
the second after Smith had fanned.
Willaby rested on first onjbion br vir
tue of Wheeler's error, and went to
second when Noidean failed to bold
DePeatt's long fly. He scored on
Grove's single. DePeatt taking third,
and scoring on Wilson's sacrifloe.
Hawks fanned.
A base on balls, two hits, an error
and a sacrifloe bit was good for two
inns for Weston iu the fourtb. In
the seventh Weston rnng up two more
without a hit. Two errors, two wild
throws and a muffed fly being respon
sible for the runs.
Groves soored in the seventh, whon
he singled, filohed seoond, and went
to third on Lonsdale's error. He
oameoverou Hawk's single. In the
eighth the Maroons loaded the bases
with nobody down, and had the
obauoe to do things to the Mountain
eers. Stone led off with a single-bagger,
L. Lieuallen followed with a siu
gla and Wheeler parsed Smith. Wil
laby dumped a slow one" down to
short, Stone sooring on a slow throw
to the plate. DePeatt wont out ou a
fly to oenter, Lieuallen beating the
throw in. Urovos and Wilson went
out ou flies.
Weston gleaned three in the ninth
ou three errors by H. Lieuallen, a
wild thiow and one man hit by a
pitched ball. The score:

OLD ENGLISH HUMOR.
Tho "Joe Miller Jest Book"-lt is
famous. Mark Twain mentions it as
the alpha and omega of dejected hu
mor. It is unrivaled, Incomparable,
apart. Further, it is English very
English.
Possibly the latter phenomenon is re
sponsible for tho difficulty a searcher
had In finding un uurevlsed copy. Aft
er an afternoon of search a second
hand but scfirccly worn copy finally
was discovered In a little bookstore.
The bookseller eyed the buyer curious
ly, but with some awe, and seemed
very glad to get rid of it for 23 cents.
Twenty-five cents! How instantly
reminiscent of one of the Joe Miller
Jokes beg pardon, Jests:
THE LIGHT SUBJECT.
The government, having- threatened to
proceed rigorously against those who re
fused to pay assessed taxes, ottered to
tlieiti a remission of one-fourth. "This at
least," said one sufferer, "may be called
giving them some, quarter."
You can get that off in your very
next nftcr dinner speech. You can put
a littlo accent on one-fourth aud quar
ter and get quite ns loud a laugh.
Second specimen (It must be remem
bered that the Jest book was compiled
In tho early part of the eighteenth
century, when there were llterarinns;
therefore the Jests that aren't blamed
ou lords are mostly charged to writ
ers): A DIFFERENCE.
Jerrold one day met a Scotch gentleman
whose name was Leltch, who explained
that ho was not the popular cartoonist
John Leoch. "I'm aware of that," said
Jerrold. "You're tho Scotchman with the
l-t-c-h in your name."
There! Just think ot the triumph with
which Mr. Jerrold later related that quip
to his friends.
Specimen:
THE CONNOISSEUR
A person to whom the curiosities, build
InKS, etc., in Oxford were shown one very,
hot day was asked by his companion if
ha would sen the remainder of tho univer
sity. "My dear sir," replied the connois
seur, "I am stone blind already."
Whether the friend expired iu
spasms of mirth or subsequently was
hanged for may hem the Jest book
doesn't say.
The wit of the Irish is called in too.
Microscopic Measurement.
The measurement of microscopic ob
jects Is done by rulings on glass,
which are produced by wonderfully
delicate machines. These rulings are
constructed so as to accurately divide
an inch or any other unit of measure
ment into any desired number of
parts as, for lnstauce, one one-hundredth
of an iuch or one one-thou-fcandth
of an inch or even one ten
thousandth of an Inch. The finest rul
ings thus far produced by any of the
machines are nt th rate of something
like 200,000 to the Inch. Some idea of
the closeness of tho ruled lines can bo
obtained from considering that a thou
sand such Hues would occupy only tho
spaco iucluded iu the thickness of a
sheet of ordinary writing paper. New
