GOOD BASEBALL PLAYERS
ARE IN GREAT DEMAND
Various Leagues All Over the Country
Constantly on the Watch for
Good Men.
In Morocco it is the custom for men
to bury their money. In this country,
however, it is more the custom to
burn it.

"There, never was a time in my base
ball experience of many years when
there was such a strong demand for
good baseball players." said Al Tear
ney, president of the Amateur Mana
gers league of Chicago recently in dis
cussing a. handful of telegrams that
ho had just received from different
sections of the middle west.
- Tearney is in touch with hundreds
of ball players all over the country,
and when they are idle they make
his place their headquarters.
"Pitchers especially are needed by
all of the minor league teams and al-' &
most any price is paid for them if they ,

Tearney said. "It is no trouble at
All for the good men of the business
to get the extreme salary limit in good
towns just as long as they can deliver
the goods.
"But it is hitters that are snapped
up quicker than anything else. Any
body that can send out the long drive
is signed immediately at a good price.
Fielders there are in plenty and they
do not carry so much weight. Tou
see. almost any ball player can field
the hall In good style, but when it
comes to hitting they mostly all fall
down.
"I try not to make a business of
this, bnt the clubs are constantly tele
graphing me for men and I send lots
of them away. Just now the Three
I league seems to be remarkably hard
up for men. and the managers are
actually Imploring in their tone. It
certainly is a banner year for the good
ball player."
l.TRIPLE PLAY BECOMING
I COMMON IN BASEBALL
S Several years ago and up to
the present season a triple play
was practically unheard of in or-
ganized baseball. They could
(5 be counted on the fingers of one
hand for a season. The cam-
S paign of 1 !)! will go down in
S history as a record breaker for
) triple plays. Three have been
made in the American league
alone, but the best play of all

happened at Cleveland when
Hall pulled one off unassisted.
Triple play features have opened
up on the Pacific coast league.
In a game between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles the other
day a peculiar and off triple
play was made. With runners
on first and second, McArdle hit
a terrific line drive to deep left
center and appeared to be a
sure triple. Carroll made a
good catch of the ball, and the
rest was easy, for the baserun-
5i ners were far around the paths
when the ball was caught, and

A man has been sentenced to 14

aeems a very decent and reasonable
sentence.

Umpire a Maker of Coffins.
"Billy" Sullivan, one of the Ameri
can association umpires, has a unique
trade. He was a coffin-maker before I
he got to umpiring in professional j
baseball. Sullivan used to slip away
frequently from the plant in the after
noon and the coffin wagon was gener
ally to be found at the Rochester ball
park at five o'clock to take "Billy;
home. He was superintendent in a
factory in that city and was able to
slip away occasionally. Sullivan
doesnt know which is the worst job,
making coffins or being in danger of
filling one after each close game.
It is pleasing to anticipate the days
of purple grapes and blushing apples,

with tho bead on it, the possum
browned and reposing in his couch of
browned potatoes, but we shall not
have the sweet, soothing, ennobling
warmth of this delicious August tem
perature then.
A "green"" Vermonter. or a Vermont
Green Mountaineer, just as you will,
went down to the swell golf contest
at Eagle wood, X. J., in which a num
ber of the most notable players in the
country participated, and beat the
bunch. All of which is fresh proof of
the manner in which rural brains,
muscle and skill are reinforcing the
city stock.

"There is, a certain type of college
. bred wen .who seem to imagine that
during their four years of study they
have .accomplished all the work of
their lives, and can thus afford to dis
sipate mentally ever after." So says
a current essayist in an eastern news
" paper. - Let the crop of graduates to
be- harvested next take heed not to
conform to this type. The real schol
ar, is not finished by his college
course, but only started on his career.
Team of All Nations.
Sometimes even baseball teams are
appropriately dubbed by the public
Hero we have the Bangor team of the
northern Maine league, known as the
'Congress of Nations." Among the
players are McQuiggan, an Irishman;
Lott, a Canadian; GardeUa, an Italian;
Pond, an Englishman: Sedequist,' a
Swede; and among others are includ
ed a Hebrew, a full-blooded Indian, a
Sctochman and a German. The mana
ger, of course, is an American, and the
emergency a Con naught man, glorying
in the mellifluous name of Marcellus
Finuegan.
Longest Bail Throw on Record.
Joe Martini, 20 years old. semi-pro
fessional ball player, threw a baseball
41? feet 3 inches at the fair grounds
at New Orleans the other day, break
ing the world's record. That was
400 feet 7 inches, made by John
Hatfield, Brooklyn. October 15, 1S72.
Lew Moren, one of the pitching
staff of the Philadelphia National
league team, is one of the few play
ers in the national game to-day who
are playing purely for love of the
sport. Moren's father is a wealthy
vessel owner of Pittsburg and it is
said that he sends his son a check
for $100 for every game he wins.
MARQUARD, M'G RAW'S $11,000 PITCHER
A French airship of the dirigible
gas-bag variety baa made a five hour
journey at an average speed of 37
mllea an hour. Her success, following
closely upon the heels of Count Zep
pelin's performances with his huge
ship of the rigid type, reveals the fact
that inventive genius is grasping ev
ery idea of progressive aeronauts and
piecing them Into what will eventually
bo an aerial flyer that can be relid
upon except during very high winds.
All the educational experts - now
to be denouncing the cramming
system in modern education. Consid
ering its vast importance, it is some-
thins of an anomaly that popular edu-1
cation Is subjected to more fads and
experiments than any other profes
sion. Cafortunately, by the time the
fads have been discarded and the
experiments proved unsuccessful,
some of tho most valuable years in the
Uvea of the unhappy young subjects
of both have been wasted.
The Chinese government continues
to show a progressive spirit, and nat
urally gets valuable hints from this
direction. An Imperial edict transfers
.Tuan-Fang, viceroy of Nanking, to the
meroyship of Pe-Chi-U province.
The significance of this lies in the fact
that the latter province is one of tho
most important in the empire, owing
. to contact wih foreign inerests, and
the transferred viceroy is thoroughly
imbued with American ideas, and also
a warm admirer and friend of the
Vnited States.
Bar Harbor. M, is a rather "swell"

Rube Marquard. the sensation of the American association last year
haa nroved a sore disappointment in New York this season. The manage
ment of the Giants paid $11,000 in cold cash for the former Indianapolis
star, but so far this year he has failed to show any of the class which dis
tinguished his work in the minor league. McGraw. however, has great
faith in the youngster and predicts that he will make his mark in the bta
circuit. Criticts believe that Marquard would be a much more valuable
man for McGraw it he was bandied differently. Marquard needs a lot of
work and should be used in his turn. McGraw has been holding him back
and when the "Rube' does work, be lacks effectiveness.
In Despair; Cured by Cuticura.
"Words cannot describe the terrible
ecxema I suffered with. It broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my whole body. I
was almost a solid mass of sores from,
head to foot. I looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human bo
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than I could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails.
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen I
was afraid they wonld break off.
Bvery hair In my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition wasawfuL I did not think
I could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
"In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
af recovery. But oh, what blessed re
lief I experienced after applying Cuti
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching fiesh and brought me the
first real sleep I had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running.
the flesh began to heal, and I knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.
I wish I could ten everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm.
Hunt, 135 Thomas St, Newark, N. X.
