DIAMOND DUST.

One of the fakiest, fakety-fale stories
of the season sprung from Syracuse in
recent issue Of the Syracuse Herald
and this was It:
"Tom Brooks, one Of the proprietors of
the Scranton club, was in the city Sat-
urday. In connection with this visit sew
eral TumoTs We're started of prospective
changes IN the team. 1t was said that
ollie Beard was to dispiace Sandy Grif-
fin as manager of the club. Mr. Brooks
and Beard both said that they knew
nothing Of such move. Beard said that
he belonged to Rochester and did not see
how he could possibly be made manager
of the Coal Heavers 1t was also said
upon the best of authority that Sun
DAILY and Walters, outfielders, are to be
released within few days"
Not only is the paragraph untrue and
Injurious TO every person mentioned in
II, but there was no foundation for It,.
The Scranton owners have every con-
fidence I'm the world I'm GTifhn-which
they ought to have-apd never even con-
sidered interfering with his management,
much less removing him. Mr.. Brooks
visit to Syracuse was prompted by moth
ing more than the desire to enjoy holi-
day and get a relief from business cares
for a day, II the club had been winning
have made the trip.
AS far as Beard is concerned, his OBJ
ject in saying he was under Rochester
contract could only have been to Jolly
the Herald man. Boards, Boyd's and
Daly's signatures are affixed TO Scran-
ton contracts as Is the signature of ev-
cry mothers son on the team,
There is another but a trivial occa-
sion for comment, Walters viii certainly
not be released unless II Is plain that
his leg Is so weakened that he cannot
play his position.

UNCLE NICK PHILOSOPHISES.
Tells Why the Old Outfielders Had So
MANY Put-Outs.

In looking over the records of the
major league players of ten years ago
l find that the outfielders had, on an
average, twice as many assists as the
outer scouts of today" remarked I'm
Gle Nick Young. I'm the season of 'S6
the fastest of the outfielders, such as
Tom Brown, had as many as sixty or
seventy assists to their credit on the
season. But in the up-to-date games
the outfielder who makes twenty as
sists on the season Is doing tolerabiy
fast work
But it must be remembered that sc
was the last year of the rule that al
low batsman to call for his choice
of balls, low, waist, or high ball, ac-
cording to his fancy. This rule was a
big handicap to the outfieldeTs, as they
were at loss as to where they should
play for a certain batsman. The bats
man who could hit a ball to center
field from the altitude of the knee
might call for a waist ball the next
time he faced the pitcher, and it was
10 to bet that he would hit waist
ball In different direction. So the out
fielders We're not as capable of judg-
ing the direction of a mans hit, as un-
der the rule that now obtains.
'Of course, the brainiest of the pitch
ers, such as Griffith, OF Chicago, and
Nichols, of Boston, are deep students
in studying the weakness of the bats
men whom they oppose, and are helped
in their study by the fielders. But the
fact that a batsman is not permitted
to name his choice of balls has, after
all, more to do with the change of
hitting than the study of the pitcher.
As a rule the man at the bat has a ia
vorite ball, and he hits II in a certain
direction, and hits IT harder. In the
old days the outfieIder played closer
and got many an assist that they can
not get today for the reason that they
play much deeper. and set themselves
as near as they can calculate at a
point where the batsman is likely 10
hit,
but, after ALI the progress of the
game from scientific point of view
has as much 10 do with this scarcity
of assists as .he change In the batting
rule that Sk place in the league years

G0OD-R0ADS ADVOCATE
is A. E. STEVENSON
Ex.ylce President Believes Ia the Plan
of the L. A, w.
1T MEANS ADVANCED CIVILIZATION



This agitation fD, good roa Is is meet
ing the cordial endorsement Of all of
our public men who stop to give II
more Than passing thought. Ex-Yice
President Adlai e. Stevenson is now
among those who strongly recommend
the movement Of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen for better highways.
Says he In recent letter:
Il am In full sympathy with the ef-
forts now being made to secure good
roads throughout the country. This is
a living question. There Is little diff
Guilty In getting from one large city to
another. or even in crossing the conti-
nent, but the important question Is
how to get from the country home to
the school house, to the church, TO the
market. 1t Is a gratifying fact that
this subject is now undergoing a thor
ough discussion In many of our states.
The result will be beneficial. Like other
ADLAI STEVENSON.
important questions, IL will work out
its own solution. l agree with Cover
nor Markham that good roads mean
advanced clvilization.'V
When people like Mr. Stevenson be-
gin to emphasize the need of better
country highways, surely there must
be a great public interest to be sub
served. And what are the facts? Mr..
stevenson lives at Bloomington, ILL.,, in
the centre of a district whose roads are
VIGOROUSLY bad. 1t is not the only dis
trict of its kind, by many odds. There
are dozens of such districts in every
state in the Union. The Bloomington
district Is only sample, and should
not be singled out as an illustration,
but for a coincidence. A prominent
paper in Illinois published an interest
ing dispatch from its Bloomington cor
respondent a few weeks since. Let the
dispatch speak for itself;
JUST AN EXAMPLE.
The embargo of mud is complete
in central Illinois. Farmers who have
lived in Mclean county more than half
a century declare that they have new
er seen the roads so utterly impas-
sable as they are now. General stag
nation in retail trade Is the result
Farmers find 1t impossible to come to
town in a light vehicle drawn by four
horses. Much of the corn stored In
cribs has rotted on the cob and crum-
bles in the shelter The condition of
grain is giving the farmers serious
| trouble"
Another interesting piece Of news
comes from Massachusetts. In a town
in that state of about 5000 Inhabitants
dwelling house was recently burned
| to the ground because the roads were
too muddy for the fire department tc
reach ii. Insurance men claim that the
town can be held responsible for the
| loss. 4
But these are not isolated cases. II
| would be wrong to point our fingers
at Illinois or at Massachusetts,; Others
might point their fingers at us, and
with equal justice. There are tot
many of these mud roads all through
the country. Our methods of road
building, as a rule, are thorough
failure. Millions of road taxes are spent
in c0ch state every year, while the
roads themselves continue as bad AZ
ever Reforms are sadly needed.

wheelmen are the ones who demand

Chris Won Der Abe Says BRADY Is
Talking Through His Hat.

An Associated Press dispatch was
sent from this city Wednesday night,
which made public Billy Brady's de-
claration to party of friends that he
was diekering for the st. Louis base
ball franchise, He said he proposed
making Corbett manager and first
baseman of the Browns if he got the
franchise. The story was published in
yesterdays Tribune with an intimation
that Brady was blufiing.
What Chris Won Der Abe, the st.
Louis owner, THINKS OF the matter is in
dleated in the following dispatch to the
Tribune last night
Philadelphia, June 17.-Chris Won Der
Abe denied emphatieally this after
noon to a renorter for the Associated
Press that he had received an Offer
from William A. Brady, manager foI
James ], Corbett. for the franchise OF
the st. Louis base ball club He said
II have received no offer from Brady
for the franchise of my ball club, and
even II one should be made by him II
would not be considered other than as
a Joke. Brady Is making that blum foI
