TYPE CASTING MACHINES.

The most recent and wonderful acquisi-
ton to the mechanical appliances of the
Bee are the Merganthaler type casting ma
chimes, which were put In In Tebruary,
1894. at a cost of $40, 900. Then, as
previously, The Bee took the lead. and the
machines were in successful operation In
The Bee office before other western news
papers awoke to the fact that they were in
existence. The idea of setting type by
machinery was not q new one, but various
eTrorts had been made to put 1t into prac-
tical form. Several machines were in
vented, but failed to meet completely the
requirements. 1t was not until the WIN
ter of 1885 that the attention OF some OF
the large newspapers OF the country was
attracted TO the Mergenthaler machine, for
which great things we're claimed. In Feb
ruary Mr.. Rosewater received a letter from
Melville u. Stone, editor of the Chicago
News, enclosing a description or the llno-
type and asserting that 1t was actually the
thing that men who had capltai invested
in newspapers had so long sought and so
long awaited. At this time a company
composed of large newspaper proprietors
was being formed to manufacture the ma
chine, and Mr.. Rosewater was urged TO
lend his assistance to the enterprise. IL
so happened that he was not in a position
to take stock in the company at that time,
but he realized at once the importance OF
the invention and continued to take a
lively interest In its development.
Soon after Mr.. Rosewater received an in
~yitation TO Join a party composed of White
law Reid OF the New York Tribune, Stillson
Hutchins OF the Washington Post, Richard
Smith OF the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. Melville T.. Stone OF the Chicago
News. William n. Haldeman of the Louis

who explained the workings OF the various
parts of his invention. which was a very
clumsy affair as compared with the I'm
proved models which were afterward pur-
chased by The Bee. But II was evident
that the Inventor had struck the real solu-
tion OF the problem and when Mir. Rose

Too Many strikeOuts.

Editor Times: There Is one feature OF the
Senators laying at present that is grow
ing disagreeably frequent, and that is the
number of strike outs that are registered
against the best batters on the team
Z has seemed to me, as a close observer
OF their play, that they are instructed. pre-
sumably by the manager, TO wait for a
base on balls, il possible; going on the
old untenable theory that lit only t:IEes
one to hit it, they stand up TO the plate
and after two balls are called, allow
two strikes to be called. and then. in
majority OF cases, when the next ball
comes over, in the.very. expressive vacant
lot parlance, punches OUT This was very
noticeable in the recent Chicago games, the
Chicago pitchers were Just wild enough
to make the batters think they were going
to get their base, sure, but in the end, the
pitcher generally managed TO get three
good ones over 49, j. -a,
The Senators don't seem to be troubled
with ''batting eyes," they know the ball
is coming over, yet they stand and allow
the umpire to say strike"
II q pitcher has reasonable control, the
batter sbould. take two of his chances OF
making hit, anyway. 1t is no more
disgrace to strike three times at the
ball, than to have three strikes called, the
batter is out either way.
Then, again, there is the likelihood OF
the fielders making an error, az well as
making q bit, and 1t Is far better to go
out at first, or to the Outfield, than to
have the "put-out'' accredited to the
catcher. ADMREROF TIE GAME.

Ill HHEEIN!EA [! ] !. INVITED M 4
General Run to Cycle Cottage
Has Been Called.
BARBECUE NEXT MONTH
New IDEAS Advanced at an Informal
Gathering Of the United Wheelmen.
Invitations VIII Be Sent Ont Today.
Letter to the Springfield Club
Other Bicycle News.

A general run Of wheelmen 1f the city
will be called for next Wednesday night
The run will be to Cycle Cottage, and it
is hoped that hundreds will turn out. At
this gathering Of wheelmen some important
matters will be discussed.
The Idea OF having the run was decided
on last night by number OF United Wheel
men. The gentlemen met at $40 Eleventh
street and the discussion which followed
resulted In the determination to hold the
run. 1t will not be held under the auspices
of the United Wheelmen at all, but will
be a general gathering OF riders.
Invitations will be sent out today to all
the clubs In the city and to as MANY riders
as are known to the gentlemen having the
matter in charge. They hope that every
one who receives an invitation will accept
and that those who do not will come all
the same. Everybody is invited to come.
IL this run proves popular the further idea
OF holding a barbecue some time In October
will be discussed. 1t is thought that this
could be made 4 success and tnat 1t would
be u great thing for the riders OF the city.
In speaking of this matter Vice President
Offiey, Of the United Wbeeimen, who is
intensely interested, said:
I'VE think it would be a cool thing to
get the wieelmen together. The run
Wednesday to Cycle Cottage will be ire
spective Of any organization. We want
to get wheeimen interestei in each other.
Then comes the barbecue, il the run will
warrant IL. / think it could be made a
bowling success; anyhow we want TO
try it,"
