HARDWOOD FOR BATS.
One Concern Consumes Two Million Feet
OF Lumber In This WAY.

Ohe concern consumes Two Million Feet
OF Lumber In This Way.
The correspondent for the North
western Lilmberman at Grand Rapids.
Mich, says there is concern in that
city that probably makes more bats
than any other in the country. This
year the output will be 5000, record
That has not been broken since 1889.
when 316,S0O were turned out. The
best bats are made of second ground
white ash; ordinary ones of common
white ash, and very ordinary bats
such as TIC boys play out on the COM
mons with-of mape and basswood.
lhese latter are run through an auto
matte lathe at the rate of / 400 n day.
while the league bats are turned by
hand. A small quantity of WILLOW
bats are nude of poplar. Twenty
years ago about half the bats were
poplar, but the style has changed.
Some of the crack players will not con
descend to use stock bat, but go to the
factory and have bats of the size and
weight they desire made for them. If
we figure it will be found that this
Grand Rapids factory alone will con-
sume about 100000 feet of hard wood
year in the manufacture of ball bats.
The others all told will consume good
deal more than that. Therefore. when
you see baseball player with his
fingers knocked asl1ew you can reflect
that the sport of which he is a victim
calls for several hundred carloads of
hardwood lumber annually.

1t is popularity OF the Russian rail-
ways that their stations are generally
two miles distant from the towns and

ing thatched with straw.
