Cardinals’ Center Gardener Gives Reasons for Staying in Close. Rebel Oakes of the Cardinals is playing the shortest centerfield of any middle gardener in major league base- ball. The Cardinal center fielder has some excellent reasons for playing in close, He says: “I've accepted more chances than any other center fielder in the game this year. The fielding averages will prove it. I expect to close the season,with a record of hav- ing accepted over 100 more chances than any other outfielder in the game. I get ’em by laying in close to the shortstop and second baseman. Of course, I don't play every batsman alike, I know the long hitters and I know the balls they are going to hit hard. A hard-hitting right-handed ‘batsman figures to pull the ball to deep left if he gets a good grip on it, and a hard-hitting left-handed sticker will {pull it hard to the right, if he meets on the seam. Few batsmen smash a ball hard to the middle field. They :lther hit to right center or left cen- er. “My idea is to pull the left and right fielders away from the foul lines and right center. That gives the middle {man a chance to get“the liners and Texas leaguers in short center. I'v inailed a whole bunch of them th year. -Bresnahan will tell you that it's ithe right kind of a ball. -Onee in a | great while some batter will fool me and knock the ball over my head. It never happens with a pitcher like Sallee or Harmon in the box. They have control and signal the men be- hind what's going over the plate. I know enough about big league ball to do the rest. ‘ Sal’ can make seven out |of ten batsmen ‘hit to certain fields. | Occasionally some batsman will fool {him, Of course, that’s part of the luck | of baseball. “As a rule, we always know ‘what kind of a ball Sal is going to serve, |and generally know: in what direction the bastman will drive it if he is lucky enough to conmect with the sphere. That's onme of the principal reasons why Sal and Harmon have been so successful this year. Harmon has got so he can tell us in advance where he is golng to stick it, and then turn in and.place the ball there. Jimmy Sheckard of Chicago is my ideal outfielder,” continued Oakes. “I think the veteran Chicago left fielder is the king of them all. They tell me | that Hofman has on it on Sheckard handling grass cutters, and that the secret of Artie's skill in -that -direc- tion is the training he got playing the |infield. Hofman is a grand ball play- fer and nis skili handling ground balls | makes him ‘exceedingly valuable to | the Chicago Qubs. For the real thing in outflelding, however, [Ill take Sheckard. I think he is the most styl- ish workman of them all. He makes hard catches look easy, always plays exactly tight for high man and gets everything possible that goes out his way. all players will tell you thgt | Sheckard is the dandy of them all.

Crop Reports and Foreign Develop- ments Have Depressing Influence. Naw York, Aug. 1.—Unfavorable crop reports, the’ illness of a Standard Oil magnate and the massing of British troops at Aldershot were among the incidents employed as pretexts for de- pressing the stock market today. Re- garding the first named, the most dis- couraging news came from Iowa,where a 30 per cent. damage to corn was re- ported. This was in striking contra- distinction, however, to cotton, which a percentage condition for July of £6.9 as against 749 last year was reported. Tn all probability no atten- tion would have been paid to the re- ported concentration of the British troops but for the fact that consols declined sharply in London, where Americans were the only securities that manifested any degree of strength. Prices were heavy on the Paris bourse and domestic shares were dull and weak in Berlin. Trading in the local market fell to slender proportions soon after the first hour. The opening was irregular, and by noon losses of a point were ragis- tered by Union Pacific, Northern Pa- cific, Reading, American Tobacco pre- ferred and several of the specialties, with a two-point decline in Canadian Pacific, which rumor ascribed to sell- ing by Berlin. The list dragged alons at this level for the balance of the session, alternating between partial re- covery and further losses, which latter included Pacific Mail. In the last hour lower prices wers recorded, all active issues declinipg under the influence of a number of unattractive railroad re- ports. These included Union Pacific anl with net losses for June of $233,000 and $494,000, respec- tively, while for the fiscal year Union Pacific’s revenues decreased $4.3 and those of Southern Pacific $4. 00 00 6. Atchison for June fell over $500,000 net, but its revenuas for the year in- creased $1.565.000. The Pennsylvania and New York Central lines submitted earnings for June, the figures of the latter system being the mora favorable. Tllinois Central gained $2,388,000 over the preceding fiscal year, and Missouri, Kansas and Texas scored a net in- crease of over $1,000,000. 5 Coprer stocks were lower in Sympa- thy with the general market, although exports of the metal for July were almost 12,000 tons in excess of those for the same month last year. The monthly bulletin of a promi- nent national bank which sometimes reflects the views of high finance deals largely with politics. In the opinion of this institution general interest in the special session of congress has ai- most ceased. The bulletin rafers to this_country’s large foreign trade and dwells on the outlook for our manu- factured exports, which, it adds, are likely to pass the billion dollar mark in the current fiscal year. On the curb, Standard Oil lost fifteen points, szlling down to 640. Almost the one feature of the money market was the hardening of rates for commercial paper. This betokens .a revival of trade in various lines, par- ticularly to metals. » The bond market was lower, with turther weakness in American Tobacco par value, were de- issues.

Amos Rusie began his ball career with the old Grand avenue team in Indianapolis; when Indiapanolis was a member of the 12-club National league. This was back in the ’88s. Rusie was a pitcher, a powerful, husky young giant, who had a world of speed. X o Jack 'Glasscock was playing short- stop on the Indianapolis National league team at that time, and Jerry Denny was holding down third base. Glasscock was captain of the team. He heafd of Rusie’s pitching, and one Sunday took Denny and hiked out to the City league park, where ' Rusie played. Glasscock watched the young- ster work and both he and Denny were so impressed that Rusie was taken downtown after the game. The next day Rusie appeared at the league park in an Indianapolis uniform. Ed Delehanty, the greatest of the Delehanty baseball family, began on the lots around ‘Cleveland, his home eity. In 1886 some omne told the manager of the Wheeling, W. Va. team that Delehanty was a great bal player. Some days later Delehanty re- ceived a letter offering him a trial with Wheeling. The youngster didn’'t have any money, and no transportation was en- closed, but he started for Wheeling and made his way there by riding freight trains and walking. He was an infielder, playing second base, and he made good from the jump. In 1887 Philadeiphia decided to give him a trial, and along in the fall of that year Delehanty made his major league debut, succeeding Bastian, one of the greatest players of his time, at second base, 5 Hans Wagner owes his start in hdse- ball to his brother, Al Wagner. Al was a good ball player, but everyone thought Hans was too awkward to amount to anything on the diamond. Al was with Steubenville, owned and managed by George Moreland at that time, and Moreland wanted a pitcher. “Get my brother,” Al said. “Can he pitch?” Moreland asked. “Well, he can throw a ball mighty fast,” Al replied, and Hans was wired at Carnegie to report. His salary was to be $35 a month. Wagner beat his way from Pittsburg to Steubenville on a freight train, 3 \ The Steubenville team blew up. Mansfield wanted Al Wagner and wired him at Steubenville, Al had another job, so he sent his brother. Mansfield wanted a shortstop, and; although he had been playing the outfield, Hans switched to short. He made good. Ed Barrows was then managing th Paterson, N. J.,, team and wanted ‘Wagner. Kerr thought to make the deal, but when Barrows explained it was Hans he wanted, Kerr presented him with the Flying Dutchman. Wag- ner made his big hit there.® Pittsburg tried to buy him back, but he was sold to%Louisville and he broke into the big league with® Fred Clarke in the Falls cit In 1904 Ty Cobb was begging for a chance with the team at Augusta, Ga. Con Strothers was managing the team. Strothers gave Ty a chance and Ty was canned because he jumped into the air while running bases, knocking down a ball which had been thrown to catch him and was called out for interference. He drew his about twenty minutes later. The next year Ty got another chance with Augusta and made good. Owing to an arrangement Augusta had with Detroit, whereby the former team was permitted to use Pitcher Eddie Cicotte, with the understanding Detroit was to get 2 good man at the end of théssea- son, Cobb became a Tiger in the fall of 1905, 5 = 5 Connie Mack of the Athletics sent Scout Al Maule to Reading, Pa., to look at a catcher. Maule came back to Philadelphia and reported to Man- ager Mack: “That's a good catcher, Connie, but there’s a youngster up there who is going to plug up that third back,” said Maule. “His name is Baker and he comes from Mary- land. He can field like a Cross; he is fast; only a kid in years, but when he hits that ball the fielders turn their backs and run for the fence.” Mack sent Maule back to Reading and Connie landed a third baseman who has been a jewel. Connie Mack signed Eddie Plank, and on the same day he made a men= tal note of Chief Bender, the great Indian, for whispers had come to the ear of Mack that Bender was a pitch- er who would see service in the big league. - “T thought it over a lot before T signed Bender,” says Mack, “he was so young. but the instant I saw himn let a ball go with, the ease a shooter Jets a barrel of shot fly at a bird, 1 nailed him. 2 Jack Barry, who is becoming the star shortstop of the-league, was play- ing with Holy Cross when a scout wired Manager Mack he had secured a player to fill in the gap left when the peerless Monte Cross began to falter. Barry, weighing 135 pounds, arrived in Philadelphia, and presented himself to Connie Meck. Mack was stunned. His sgout was one of the best, and not figure how he éver ex- pected a little chap like Barry to make good in the big league. The first time Barry went out to practice Mack watched him. He saw him scoop up grounders as a hawk does the cloven- winged robin. turned to Harry Davis and said: “Well, Harry, this fellow has taken about eight years’ worry off of my mind. Small as he is, he'll grow, and he is a real short- stop, and if he can hit/.200 he will] mate up with Eddie Collins like two boits - of lightning.” That night a wire @rom Connie Mack went north, beating’ a letter sent previously by hours—and the wire carried a compli- ment, while the letter did not. ‘BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Some results of the work being done by the Touring club of America in conjunction with the American as- sociation for highway improvement toward educating the public to the value of improved highways through- out the country, are illustrated in a chart just prepared by the United States ‘office of public roads, which shows that nearly 13,000 miles of transcontinental, interstate and trunk line roads are contemplated in various sections of the country. Although the chart was prepared by the office of public roads, it does not by any means represent all the work that has been projected or is aided financially by the sovernment. The idea in issuing the chart was merely to show the tremendous impetus® that lately has been given to the nation- wide movement foc improved public roads. Practically every State in the union is benefited to some extent by the proposed new highways, and the widespread interest in the good roads movement indicates that the time is not far distant when the United States will be interlaced by a complete sys- tem of good roads. 3 Estimates prepared by the affice of public roads show that by improving 20 per cent. of the roads of the na- tion almost the highest point of effi- clency could be reached. Twenty per cent. of the roads in each_state could be improved by an expenditure of an average sum of $3,000,000 per state, and the annual saving thereby, fn the automobiles, in the transportation of crops and increaser land values, is estimated at over 31,00%?0?.000. A great deal of experimenting has been done in starting devices since the gasoline motor has been developed to a high state of efficiency and the makers have had the time to go fur- ther into construction details and equipment refinements. One of the most important of these on which a great deal of time and. mvmey has been spent is the problem of starting the car, if possible, from the seat. Many devices have appeared from time to time for starting the motor, but practically all have proved to be too complicated, and in mafiy cases spoil- ed the appearance of the car. An electric starter, which has been patented in several countries, is an ingenious device, and with the aid of a little motor about six and one-half inches long and a couple of ignition batteries will start a high power car. It also is equipped with & special fea- ture to take care of possible kick back of the motor and is rigged up.so that | the car starts - instantaneously by pressing a button placed on the steer- ing wheel. . Never before have the Eopular tour- | g routes through New England been in_ such excellent condition as they are at the present time. More motor- ists are traveling through Conmecticut and Massachusetts' to the White mountains than any_ previous 'season and excellent reports have been receiv- ed at the various branches of the Touring club of America, regarding the ideal road conditions, . e t The use of a gyroscope on an au- tomobile as a preventive: of side Slip- ping, or skidding, has been demon- strafed with satisfaction in_England, where such a device will shertly be placed on the market. The apparatus, it is said, can be fitted on any car, the most convenient position being be- hind the radiator, where it may be driven from the fan pulley. A demonstration of the device given before a large number of ex- perts in London a short time ago, and a majority cf the spectators were deeply impressed with the ' possi ties of eliminating ‘ skidding, one of the greatest dangers in automobiling. was Because of the number of crack drivers entered for. the Dead Horse hill climb at Worcester, Mass., on Au- gust 12, it is a matter of speculation as to whether or not a new record for the hill will be established. . The’ pres- ent record is held by L. F. N. Baldwin, who made a mark of fifty-four seconds with a steamer in 1908. The fastest time ever made by-a gasoline car was by Caleb Bragg last year, when he covered the course in fifty-three sec- onds flat in his 50-horsepower ma- chine. N S T> a city, the least thing to be con- sidered is the cost of its fire fighting apparatus. and in spite of the showing we have made, I consider it the least of the many advantages which the motor apparatus has over the horse- drawn, says a Springfield fireman. Speed. with safety and reliability; are the chief things to be considered in the equipmernt fo- fire fighting. All the apparatus from the outlying dis- tricts of a city can.be quickly -con- centrated on a big fire .in an jnered- ibly short space of time when the mo- tor fire engine is universally adopted. When that time comes it will * near together as at present. : Equipment can be increased with- out additional cost of buildings, as: two pleces of motor apparatus wil be accommodated in the same floor space as is necessary for one piece of the horse drawp. Horses are much more liable to ~automo- 5 buelln)lrznn udc snow, hills, icy going, or long rums the automobile shows to great adv: tage over the horse, The comfort and convenience of the fireman is not a small matter. Where horses are, flies, fleas and mosqui are also, and as a fireman canfot hampered with screens, this phase of fireman’s life is worth consideration. One of the biggest fires in Springfleid for years got undsr headway befors it was discovered and a general alarm sent in. The horses that should have arrived first were delayed some min- utes by the slipping and failing of one on the icy pavements., The auto w: on the scene and had water on_ the firg before any of the apparatus from the nearest houses arrived, though twice ag far away. In Springfleld, they have had exper« ience and are strongly in favor of mo- tor driven fire apparatus. According to figures compiled by in~ terosted persons, mora than 1,200 horses died in New York city in 11 days during the protracted heated period early in the month. One pack- ing concern is said to have suffered & loss of $70,000 in horseflesh and & second gives $40,000 as its quota. Ee- timating each horse at $250, ich certainly is a conservative figure, the horge owners of New York lost some $200,000 in eleven days. Of course, the re was somewhat unprec but me summer passes without at lsast one or more heated terms, ranging from two to four days each. When human beings aré dropping from exhaustion in ever incrszsing numbers, the em- ployment of horses for hauling heavy loads seems actually a erime. partic- ularly when it has been demcrnstrated that weather conditions haw- abso- lutely no controk over business in which the internal combustion engine is utilized. One phase of the situation was brought out very foreibly. Ice com- panies, compelled to rely.entirely ui on‘horse drawn equipment, were ut- terly upable to supply the needs of suffering humanity even in places far removed from the more congested cit- jes. Inasmuch as the protracted heat term Is the iceman’s opportunity, it would appear that energetic salesmen should have little difficulty in turning the recent hot wave to good account. Basing the estimate upon the figures obtainable in New York city, it is probable that more than $1,000,000 in horses was lost in America during the 11 days above mentioned. It needs very little computing to discover how far this-money would have gone te- ward the purchase of reliable motor trucks, which would “have feit no ef- fects from the heat whatever. Inci« dentaliy, those compelled to operats the self-propelled vehicles would have found their own efficiency greatly in- creased.—Autoraobile Journal Loss of Appetite’ 1s loss of vitality, vigor or tone, and 18 often a forerunner of prostrating dis~ ease.
