0o sisault: JiicuU'to Railway Go llH ONCE upon a time there -was a baseball bug down in Cincinnati who figured out that there were plays in baseball-This, of course, was counting only Btraigrht and combination plays anu taking no account of the different kinds of fly hits and grounders, which ail aae different. He proved it conclusively and the next day the team made one that wasn't on his list, writes Hugh S. Puller-ton. Every play, every throw, every hit is different. That is why baseball Is the national game, and there are lieaks in the game that make even tne case hardened regular sit up and ycip with surprise and joy.

An odd play came up in a game between Detroit and team a few years ago. Harvey, nee a pitcher, was put at third base for DttroiL. Harvey could hit, but he couldn't field much, and. the complications of infield play were too much for him. White Stockings were on first and second with none out, and Detroit decided to maice a play which is common enough when a bunt is expected.

The third baseman was to play in close as if for the bunt, the second baseman and shortstop were to hold the runner close to second. When the bather bunted the third baseman waj to turn and cover third quickly, the first baseman or the pitcher getting the bail, and throwing the runner out at third. Harvey knew the play. When Hoimee bunted, Harvey turned like a Hash and dashed back towards third. It happened that the lilt was a snort pop fly straignt at Harvey, whose bacK, oi course, was turned.

The ball struck him on the top of the head, bounded up, and Harvey, Without turning, caught it and then whirling completed the double play at second. Philadelphia lost a hard luck game to Cleveland in the oid twelve club league. The score was close, Philadelphia had two men on bases, and Ed Deiehanty at bat. He cracked a long line drive across the leftfield fence a sure home run. The ball was going over the fence high the air, when suddenly it changed its couis, dropped straight down, hit the top of the fence and bounded back Into the lot.

The crowd, which had given up de-'Epair, was astonished. The Cleveland i3aftfielder got the ball and. by a quick "throw, cut down a runner at the pla.o lend Telehanty was held at second. Ine man went out and Philedelphia w.is investigation after the game proved that the ball had struck a telephone wire leading to a factory just outside the grounds. The people in the ieftfield bleachers, saw it, but the others were puzzled to account for the queer anucs of the sphere.

Clark Griffith tells of a play that when he was playing in the Coast league for which I refuse to vouch. It appears, from Grif's story, that Seattle had a left fielder whose arm was deader than Rameses the Second and nearly as dead as Rameses the First. He couidn even lob the ball back to the diamond. In a close game one afternoon against Eutte at Butte, one of the Butte players hit a long foul fly to left field and the dead-armed man went in pursuit of it. The field was lined with carriages, and near the foul line stood a buckboard to which were hitched two wild mustangs.

As the dead-armed ball player came tearing along after the foul the mustangs got scared and started to run away. The dead-armed man caught the ball the runner on third started home, loitering along, knowing the fellow couldn't throw him out. The dead-armea man, after his jumping catch, kept right on, and before he could stop he collided with the runaway buckboard and fell clear over into it. The runaways dashed iicross the field. The baserunner dodged to avoid them, and the dead-armed man, leaping from the buckboard, tagged the junner on the line and completed the double play.

Grif also has a grizzly bear story but that is too tall to tell. Somebody might doubt lt But here Is a true one for which C. "Webb Murphy will vouch, because it happened to the team of his home town, Wilmington, shortly before Murphy bought Cincinnati. The game was between Wilmington and Kev Vienna, and it was, played on the "gas well" grounds at New. Vienna, so called because about twenty feet to one side of the home plate was a pump drawing water from the gas well that never produced any gas.

loading up to near the close, when two Wilmingtons made hits. Harve West, the only straight-armed first baseman that ever lived, was at second when Reese, pitching for New Vienna, made a wild pitch. The ball hit the shoe of Stan Arthur, bounded crooked, jumped into the spout of the gas well and disappeared. Arthur, who afterward starred with Toledo, rushed over and gave one of the best exhibitions of quick thinking ever seen. Seizing the pump handle, he pumped as hard as he could, and, after about five strokes, pumped the ball out.

A hit followed and Chicago tied up the game only to los It in the final inning. Tim Donohue, of lamented memory, was the victim of another case similar to that of McFarland and to his dying day he never fully recovered his temper over that affair. The game was in Cincinnati, early in the season of 1S37, and the act of a coldblooded rowdy under he grandstand came near costing Chicago a game.

The ecore was large and both teams were hitting freely, when, late in the game, two Reds r'ere on bases with two m-u out. Danny FJOcxid. I believe, was pitching the game, and in the pinch he forced the hitter, who, as 1 recall it, was Peltz. to poke up a tall foul. Tim, gloating and grinning, chased back to the stand to get the ball, his face wreathed with grins, and his arms extended.

He ran up almost under the balcony of the stand, and for an instant it appeared as If the ball would fail into the stand itself. It casne down almost against the side of the stand, and just as it was about to strike Donohue's glove the nervy fan under the stand dashed the contents of a schooner of beer into Dnnnhno'e r-, Knoxvtile 1 New Alban Common lugs Medium lugs Good lugs Low leaf Common leat Medium leaf Good leaf Fine leaf Selections Lorain Street Railway and the line which tho Lake Shore is building from Fremont to Fos-toria, known as the Sar.duky, Fremont and Southern.

B. JOHNSON, of tho American League, has gone East to seo if ho can bolster up the Boston team, who only two years ago were hailed as champions of tho world, says the Chicago Record-Herald, It is reported that Manager James J. Collins has practically deserted his team, and Mr. Johnson will try to bring order out ot the badly tangled situation. It is even hinted that if Collins has not already abandoned, his post the head of the Bodtons he will be asked to make way tor another manager, Mr.

Johnson left here Saturday afternoon for the Hub, and will hold a conference with Gen. Charles H. Taylor, owner of the club. Bofore leaving tho American Lea.gue chief was unable to say what changes would be made in the Boston team, as he was loath to believe that Collins had left his post. Just who will succeed Collins as leader of the once champions of tho worlu case he is really ousted is not known.

Collins has been given free rein the matter of buying players to braco up his team this season, but has failed to show satisfactory results. Of course, one off the weaknesses of the team has bet-n at third base, tho position Collins used to play in a manner to excel all others. A bad knee has kept "Jimmy" out of the gaano all the year. Criger's lllneee has ibeen another irreparable loss. But notwithstanding thoso vacancies, it is claimed that, the team should have done better than It has.

The playerB on other American League teams visit Boston and then tell of the easy time tho Boston players have. According to reports, hard practice, which is neceseary to keep ball players in condition, is a Joko with the Bostons. Collins and some of the older players on tho team have a habit of rising late in the day, eating heartily and enjoying a smoke before going to the ball grounds for their practice. The appearance of the players is enough to prove that ilt-tle hard work interferes with their pleasure, and, furthermore, It is argued that conditions wfll always be the same as long as Collins Is in control. The pitchers are all overweight and In no condition for hard, tearing work on the diamond.

Tho other players, too, are aibove fighting trim. It is figured that if a manager can be secured who will get the work out of the men and bring them The ITnlon Electric Light and Power Company, of St. Louis, which Is controlled by the North American Company, has given out a statement of Its Income account for the ended December 31 last.

Louis and the Mlssourl-Edl-son Electric Company, which had acquired the property and franchises of ten Missouri lighting and iKwer corporations. The Income account of the corporation is as follows: player, big Jack Taylor, I believe, rapped line fly to center. The ball went straight at the spot where Tom was Standing, but the crowd was amazed to I see the fielder turn and run outward, i Straight away from the ball, which fell eafe and went for a two-base hit. As dt turned out afterward Tom waited to eee the ball rise above the shadow and then, seeing something flash over him, turned and went in pursuit of an Bp arrow. As Kittridge tells the story the ball was foul and went over the grandstand, while Torn, turning and running straight out-BTtrd.

leaped into the air, shoved up one, liand, and dragged down a swallow. Tom Corcoran had one of the oddest basetoall experiences in the history of the National League on the old Eastern Park grounds in Brooklyn years ago, in a game against Bos-ton. The game was played on the morning of Labor day, and there had been a hard rain the night before. In the early part of the game Corcoran, going after a ground ball, felt his foot clip, and his ankle turn, and, half falling, he stopped the ball and then foil. He turned to pick up the ball to throw out tils man, and saw no ball althouga ere was a hole six inches across, into which Ills foot had plunged.

The. runner, reaching first, stopped and saw Coicoran with Ihis arm plunged to the elbow the round, and, after hesitating a moment, ran down to second. Corcoran, meantime, had been thi king. His fingers were cluiched around he ball, and yet he waited, pretending to be groping for the ball. The rurtn.r art n.

The eame was a close one and, late in the battle with a runner on third, a Chicago batsman hit up a tall foul fly back of -1 nlotO National League.

The ball rolled back of the water cask and disappeared. Robby made, one frantic grab back of the cask and then, straightening up, hurled a sponge full of water at McJames, who was covering the plate.

The doctor grabbed it. and, as the wp.ter flew all over him, he tagged Jimmy Ryan with the sponge at the plate and soaked his shirt from neck to waist. In spite of the fact that the play beat Baltimore, the crowd yelled with delight over it, and Robby, who had made the sponge throw as a Joke when he found he could not get the ball in time, appeared as much pleased as if he had won the game by retrieving the ball in time to shut off his man at the plate. 21 004 15.7.4 Income from operation Income from other Income from high tension Total income all Opening expenses, taxes, etc. bales.

Including Union Pacific. Copper, St. Paul and" Reading, were bid up by their respective cliques. The reserves of the banks now standing at about above legal requirements, coupled with the assurance of Secretary Shaw that he will do everything to ease the money situation during the crop-moving- period, had an excellent effect on sentiment. There was no outside business to apeak of and the advance to-day, although steady, was due almost to the covering of shorts.
