STARS OF PAST AND PRESENT
Line-Up of Modern Heroes Sufficient
to Mako Any Pitcher Feel Trl-
flo Wobbly In Knees.
A fan has picked a couplo of teams,
ono of old-tlmero who made tholr
reputations In tho last century and
tho other composed of preBont-day
stars. Comparing theso two teams,
moro from a hitting than a fielding
standpoint, loads to the belief that tho
old-tlmern could tako caro of them
solves In any emergency.
The nineteenth century team Is as
follows: Delahanty, Keolor, Duffy
and Burke in tho outfield; Anson or
BroUthera, first boflo; Lajole, second
baso; Wagner, shortstop; Jimmy Col
lins, third base; Kwlng and Kelly,
catchers; Rusle, Waddell, Clarkson,
Radbourne, Swooney and Koefo, pitch
ers. Tho present-day team is composed
of, Cobb, Speaker, Jackson and Craw
ford In tho outfield; Daubort or Ko-
Cap. Anson.
netcliy, flrBt base; Eddie Collins, sec
ond base; Tinker, shortstop; Bakor,
third baso; Meyers and Archer, catch
ers; Matuowson, Marquard, Johnson,
Rucker, Alexander and Wood, pitch
ers,
The 'old-timers' lineup boasts of six
.400 hitters, namely, all tho outfield
ers, with Anson and Lajolo of the In
field. AU tho font, including tho
catchers, are over .300 year In and
yoar out.
This lineup would be sufficient to
mako any pitcher feel a trifle wobbly
lu tho knees. Lajole and Wagner,
though both are playing ball today,
are Included in Uio veteran team be
caunu they mado their debut In the

loaguo caliber. Thoy wore known to
havo cortdln ability, but tho ability
looked to bo on tho bush league ordor
that Is, until thoy woro given a
chance. And then thoy came through
with a rush. Stock has plugged up
tho big hole at third loft by tho de
sertion of Tilly Shafer. Tho Giants
nover have missed Shafer since the
i season opened. O'Mara looks llkoono
of the best shortstops In tho National
league. Early In tho season Ebbetts
thought so little of him that ho was
thinking of lotting him loose without
giving him a chance to porform. But
Dick Egan "cracked" and Ebbetts
gavo O'Mara n chonco. Now you
couldn't buy O'Mara from C. Holiday
for $20,000.
Lcary and Wares havo boon two of
the biggest factors In tho uplift of
tho Browns. Thoy have played in sen
sational stylo, aro peppery, and In
tho gamo ovory minute.
Burns and Kavanaugh have given
the needed strength to tho Tigers' In
flold. Thoy aro as fast as lightning
on tho flold, and both aro tlmoly hit
ters. Nlohoff has been a groat help
to tho Reds.

FIELDER JONES WITH FEDS
Former Leader of Chicago White Sox
Signs to Manage St Louis Team
In Outlaw League.
Tho Federal league mado a ten
strike when It signed Fielder Jones,
former Sox manager, to a contract to
load the St, Louis Terriers. Jones'
ability as a baseball leader la known
throughout tho country, and he 1b ac
corded the title of bolng one of the
best posted men connected with tho
gamo. Ho Is a popular leader and tho
fans of tho Mound City will havo JuBt
reasons for being proud of his connec
tion with their ball club.
Jones Is known to have received a
handsome salary, and It is said that
he will also be given stock in tho club.
This was tho bone of contention be
tween Jones and Owner Comtskey
while ho was leading tho Sox. Jones
decided that he did not want to work
for a salary and asked Comlskey to
soil him minority stock In tho South
side club. Ho was refused and im
mediately broko with organized ball.
Jones always contended that a ball
player deserved more independence,
and ho will have a chance to enjoy
It with tho third loaguo. '
Jones was secured by the White Sox
In 1901, jumping the Brooklyn Na
tionals during war times. Ho had
been with tho Dodgers sinco tho fall
of 1895, when drafted from tho Spring
Hold, Mass., club. He wns with tho
Springfield club only part of that sea
son, playing under Tom Burns. The
latter picked up Jones after tho Blng-
Fielder Jones.

Jimmy Callahan, was pitching for
Springfield nt the time.
Whon Jones reached the height ot
his career ho waB regarded as one ot
the greatest of all outfielders. As a
batter ho was ranked by somo as a
rival of Willie Keelor for scientific hit
ting. Jones was born' nt Shingle
House, Pa., August 13, 1871. He
started on his brilliant diamond ca
reer while a studdnt at Alfred univer

MEASURING A LAMP'S LIGHT
Portable Device, Invented by Phlladel-

A simplo and ofTlclont devlco for de

portable device and Is meant partic

consists principally of a photometer
box on a stuff with certain standards
marked along Its length. Tho box Is
supplied with a standard electric lamp
taking Its current from a battory car
ried in the pocket of tho operator. Tho
photometer box Is supplied with mir
rors reflecting the light of the lamp In
such a manner tbatjta Intensity may
be readily compared with that of the
standard lamp.
In uso the operator may hold one
end of the staff with one hand and
place the other end against the lan
tern or globe of the Btreet light. With
his free hand the operator presses
the handle elements together, thus es
tablishing tho circuit and roloaslng
tho clutch element, lighting the stand
ard light and freeing tho photometer
box on the staff. The operator may
then ascertain tho candle power by
comparison In the ordinary way and
having done this, the operator re
leases the handle elements, thus
breaking tho circuit of tho lamp and
locking the photometer box on the
staff. The operator at his convenience
can then read the scale in respect to
tho pointer and so ascertain tho can
dle power.

Led
Alexander Graham Bell, the great
Inventor, In tho National Geographic
magazine, tells how his photophone
was invented primarily because of a
smell. The explanation Is as follows:
First, a chemist detected In sul
phuric acid waste an odor which on
analysis was found to come from a
hitherto unknown substance. This
was called sllonlum.
Second, allenlum crystallized was
found to be a conductor ot electricity
of phenomenally high resistance.
Third, tho new resistant, having
been put to uso In place ot whole colls
of wire to balance the Atlantic cable
during the period of laying, was found
to have at night twice its resisting
power during the duytlme.
Fourth, Professor Bell, playing upon
sllenlum's sensitiveness to light, pro
duced the photophone, by means of
which ono may talk over a beam of
light.
