we will make our smaller college friends
wonder why they throw their money
away.
In the three colleges mentioned there Is
quite a little choice of material, yet the
matter of selection and training is not IN
easy one. Three things however, are es-
sential to both q good pitcher and good
catcher, namely, a cool head, 4 strong
sure arm, and an unsclfish disposition Zone

not included in the above). The fact
that both catcher and pitcher shall have

catcher, these chances look much easier
than they are; a deal of practice can be
put on this one point.
The best third baseman of late years in
the colleges have been Moves and Yale and
Rowland, of Harvard. Both were pretty
thr0wers and clean, quick tielders. Cook
of Harvard, this year, is also good base
man, and play of his made against the
Boston League team, showed that he is
very quick-witted well. With q runner
third, Cook caught a swift liner well
over toward short, and though he made
a quick recovery, found himself quite dis
lance from the bag with the runner equally
distant on the other side. The thing to do
came to Cook and the runner almost in
stantly, and both slid for third from their
respective opposite positions But Cook
had thought second quicker and got the
runner out.
l think nearly every college player has
had the third base fever" at some time or
other, but it generally does not last long,
n game or two being enough to cool most
mems ambition in that direction. The sue
cess of Cook, who is very young player,
is perhaps due to the fact that his fever
cannot be cured.
The fellow who plays the first Sack"
has a snap. In the first place, everything
comes his way, and he is therefore always
i'll the game; in the second place, he is
generally big and handsome. in the third
place-which is corollary of the second
place-all the pretty girls at the big college
matches are found directly back of first.
This fact of the pretty girls being back of
first, however, nearly caused trouble on one
college nine one year, as the third baseman
claimed, with some justice, that his friend
on first preferred to exert himself chasing
throws to the grand stand rather than GO
ing up into the air bit and saving errors
Though the position is an easy one to play,
a poor first baseman is about the most dam
aging thing possible to a team. A first base
man should never think he is simply placed
on the base to pose; ability to handle ground
balls clearly, to throw sharply to any point
on the diamond and to think quickly is more
important than to catch every throw from
third or short. Basemen, such as were
Dana, of Princeton; Mcbride, of Yale, and
Trafford, of Harvard, bear this out
Second and short, after the battery, are
the important positions of a nine. They are
the center of the teams field work from the
nature of their position in the ball field and
from the amount of work which, no matter
how good the pitcher, they are called upon
to do. In fact, a good pitcher does not
continually work for strike-outs, but de-

WHY BLAINE RESIGNED.
He Has Been the Target of Insult from Har-

of South Dakota, has arrived here fresh
from Washington, and is an enthusiastic
admirer of James q. Blaine. His public
utterances today have created little short
of Il sensation.
the resignation of Blaine from the Harr-
son cabinet. The only thing that seems
at all singular to me is that gentleman
of Blaine's disposition should have so long
remained in close and intimate association
with such as Miller and Tracey and
Wanamaker. 1t was Harrison and his lit
tie advisers who stroye to foment dlscord
with poor, little insignificant Chile.
1t was Blaine who constantly bore the in
suits and SANDERS of his associates and
their tools, because he resOlutely declined
to lend himself to their jingo efforts for
the denomination of their chief. You re-
member Blaine was reported sick during
the tendency Of the Behring sea negotia-
tons | happen to be advised that Blaine
was never in better health in his lite than
during that incident.
But the president, with small envy of
the fame of his great secretary, took the ne
gotiations out of Blaine's hands, where
they legitimately belonged. The secretary
turned the entire matter over to his excel
lency of this excellent administration, and
the report was given out that the Secre-
tary of state was sick"

Whatever excellence there has been in
Harrison's admintration is traceable to
Blaine and Rusk. The mistakes and weak
ness that occasioned the political earth
quake Of 1890 belong by right to Harrison

president.

Is the great thing in a pitcher. Speed Is
important, and curves come i'll handy,

succeed. a catcher can steady pitcher
down greatly if he will, and in cutting

do big share.

FRED CRATER,
An important witness for the defense is
at McKeesport, Pa, and refused to come
to Canton TO testify In behalf of his former
friend. In consequence Of this fact his
deposition was taken and this was read TO
the jury by Mr.. Welfy. Crater states that
he was at the "Red Front" saloon on the
night Of July 1s. Machsmer and Andreas
were in the place. Andreas treated sew
eral times but the last time did not ask
Machamer to drink. This made Macha-
mer mad and words followed. After they
left the saloon Machamer threatened An
dreas and the latter.struck him once with
stone on the head. He did not strike him
the second time. Carter's testimony was
favorable to Andreas.
FRANK HENDERSON
Told the story Of the trouble but very little
new material was ELECTED from his evi-
dence. Prosecutor Bow on cross examin-
alton succeeded in mixing the witness up
to some extent on the material points.
Frank Ball said that after Andreas
struck Machamer the stone fell to the
ground. Witness picked II up and after

of the defendant. He said Andreas struck

Of the bad features of the bill was the por-
tion making their treasurer the custodian
OF the Firemen's Relief Fund. He gave
no bond for that, and there was no

that II was unconstitutional. 1t related

could not help but find, as in the Hamilton
case. Mr.. Harer's argument on uncou-

that the city council could remedy matters
itself by employing competent engineer
and giving him the necessary assent.
