DEATH OF THOMAS 5. POTTER,
Great Railway Manager and Union
Pacific's vice-President.

Thomas ]. Potter, vice-president and
general manager of the Union Pacific
Railroad, died at Welcker's Hotel in this
city at 11:30 o'clock this morning. Mr.,
Potter came here in his private car on
his way to Florida with his family and
DR.. Ransom, his physician, about two
weeks ago. He was afflicted with dropsy
of the heart and travel from Omaha to
Washington so fatigued him that it was
deemed advisable to make a short stop to
afford rest.
From the day of the arrival here Mr..
Potter began to sink, and within sixty
hours it was feared he was dying. He
rallied just little, and has since been in
that condition where the border line be-
tween life and death was scarcely per-
ceptible. His death this morning was not
q surprise to his family.
Mr.. Potter was probably the most dis
tinguished railroad manager of his age in
the country. He was in charge of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy system,
and was located at Chicago for some
time prior to his connection with the
Union Pacific. His control of the two
roads was practically supreme, and his
success marvellous. Mr. Potter was about
3S years of age. The remains will be
taken from here to Burlington, his old
home, on the special car, at 8 o'clock to-
night

EDITOR CRITIC; Reading in your paper
so many answers TO "that Egg Problem"

publish the following simple, but some

1.-TWO boys went fishing, named A and
during which A caught 2 fish and r g.
they decided to fry the fish before going
home and eat them. They were about to
eat when gentleman came up and pro-
posed to eat with the boys. The boys
consented, and after the meal leach of

The trial of William Drury, charged
with keeping disorderly house at
Twentieth and L streets northwest, was
resumed in the Criminal Court this morn

stated that he had taken nine glasses of

that disorderly or improper occurrences
took place. A number of the neighbors
were called and testified that they had

THE PlTcHea, POSITION.
II Views of Two Prominent Twirlers
Anent the Proposed Change.

The Views of Two Prominent Twirlers
Anent the Proposed Change.
Radbourn does not favor the idea of put
ting the pitcher back an additional five feet.
He argues that the reason why the League
contests are so uneven is because the New
York, Chicago and Detroit clubs have got
the heavy batters of the League. To put
the pitcher back five feet would tend to
increase the batting, then some clubs
would continue to have the heavy hitters,
and the result would be easy victories over
clubs having the weak batters, large scores,
uneven and undressing contests, and con-
sequently less attraction for the people at
large. he claims that it would be better to
restore the pitchers position to the old forty
i've foot distance, as this would place the
batters more on an equality, result in close
scores and exciting games, and therefore
would make the championship race a more
even one, and consequently attract more
public patronage.
JOIN Clarkson, on the contrary, appears
to a k a deep interest in the agitation now
In progress over a proposition to amend the
pitching rules SO that the batting strength
may be increased. He is strongly in favor
Of moving the box back a distance of fifty
five feet from the plate, by which means he
predicts that the pitchers will be sufficiently
handicapped to aid materially batting and
run getting. He does not believe the return
to the high and low ball rule will accomplish
the desired end, as he contends that such a
rule will only hamper the umpire and increase
the chances for kicking. He holds that the
rules should be simplifed as much as pos
sible with a view to l~essening the burdens of
the umpire and avoiding disputes. With the
box moved back to fifty-ive feet, he thinks
the speed would be reduced sufficiently to
allow the batsnen to oaroa tho balI battar
than at present. He complains that under
the present RULE there is but little chance for
skill in delivering the ball to the plate, and

day, and the best since Mace's and my tiraa
Talk about the English Was there a man In
Great Britain who could touch Heenan when
he went over there3 Put me down as saying
that the English can learn more from US
about fighting and wrestling than
we can from them. AS for style
every one has his own. A man should
hold his hands and place his feet in a natural
position that is the best and quickest for him
to take advantage of whatever may turn up.
l don't admire this new style introduced by
Sullivan Of rushing a man from the start,
although / must admit that it is the best for
the big fellows. If you get any advantage
of a man 1t is a good plan to fight him as
quick and as hard as you can, but to make q
practice to rush at all times is bad, for you'll
fight yourself out while the other fellow is
guarding and saving his wind That's the
way Mitchell managed to stay with Sullivan.
It's very seldom you'll see a big man recover
after making that sort of a fight unless he is
in splendid condition.
Sullivan can lick any man on top of the
earth today if he will only pull himself to-
gether. I'll bet every cent l have, and this
ring that / got from George Law, too, that
he can lick any fighter in the world If be will
train as I want him to train. About Demp-
hey you know what I think. OF the light
weights Carney and McAuliffe ~outclass the
others, but Billy Edwards in his prime could
lick either of them. Ike Weir and Tommy
Warren are the best of the featherweights /
think, but that fellow Havlin is a corker.
He is not rs quick, but can stand more pun
ishment than the other two. I'd toss a penny
for my choice of the three. One thing, as an
old fighter, 1 would like to say to the young
ones: II you want to fight, put up your
money. Do your fighting with your hands
and not with your mouths That shows that
you mean business"
