Catcher Warner. Of the New York club,
gives the following advice to young
players who would try for the position Of
receiver:
Though the catcher's position is dan
gerous. II furnishes unlimited opportu-
mites to a bright. heady player. y
ouick-witted strong-armed lad is likely
to prove a success behind the bat.
The essential point in the makeup of
n backstop is a good throwing arm. No
matter how well you can hold speed or
bat or run bases. you must throw well,
or prove an utter failure.
There are two modes of throwing to
bases-the side-arm and overland. /
strongly recommend the latter The side
arm throw is inaccurate and difficult to
hold.
In the overland there is less jerk and
strain. The ball carries further and
twists less than in the side throw. Unless
YOU care to risk dead arm, send the
ball squarely overhead.
Stand directly behind the ball. Don't
attempt to catch TO the side of your
body. 1t is a bad habit, and should be
avoided.
A successful catcher must study the
batters constantly. Upon him falls the
task of steering the pitchers. and he
must know the batters thoroughly. OF
course in the big league the star pitch
ers give their own signals.
Such men as Rusie and Meekin choose
their own curves. In general, however
the catcher serves as a guide book to
his battery mate. Many a creek twirler
owes his success to the careful coaching
of his backstop.
Robinson. of Baltimore and other
heady old-timers have developed scores
of brilliant pitchers.
Many catchers use their fingers to sig
nal. Thus the raising of the index fin
ger calls for an out curve, two fingers
held aloft for slow, straight ball and
so on. A much safer way Is to convey
your desire by means of your eyes. Rap
id wnking, one eye steadily closed and
staring TO the right or left are but a
few of the numerous modes of giving
directions to the twirler.
Watch the base runner carefully If
YOU believe that n man one base intends
to steal, signal for a wide out. The bat
ter cannot reach this. and you are in
a position for a quick throw to head off
your man. In nine cases out of ten the
batsman has been ordered to rap at any
thing and you are also a strike to the
good
When there Is an opposing player on
third don't take chances to nip man
at second. Keep constant watch on the
runner nearer home. If a double steal
is attempted. feint to throw the ball.
Both men will probably put on full head
way and one of them is yours
If third is covered hurl the leather
there for the rearmost runner, and de-
pend on a quick return to the plate. If
there is much doubt of this plays sue
| cess. hold the ball and wait to nail your
| man at the rubber.
| Hold the ball firmly when player
! starts for home. If you neglect to do
| this the ball may be knocked from your
| hand by the impact of the runner Stand
| your ground firmly, no matter how swift
| ly your opponent charges at you. In
| baseball. in every other game. pluck
| is essential to success.

Noodles Hahn. the twirler Of whom
Cincinnati fans had expected much this
season. has been released by President
John T. Brush. Of the Reds, for the rea-
son that he held out too long without
signing contract. He was notified Of
his release by a letter from Brush, and
he will probably play again in the minor
league with the Detroit Club. Hahn was
heralded as a very speedy ana plucky
pitcher, of the Rusie type. and the Reds
management have taken the chance Of
losing a probable ''phenom" because Of
its unwillingness TO pay him $500 more
than they at first intended. He was Of
fered 81. 500 but asked for $3.50, and de-
clined 10 sign for less. Ewing thinks he
can get along with his present pitching
corps. which consists Of Hawley, Brett
enstein. Dwyer, AIN, Goar and Dam

the meeting was for the purpose Of uniting
patriotism with religion, and asked the as
sembled crowd TO sing 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" with him. Mr.. Pope announced IS
his text, l Cor, XIV, 81: Thanks be to Gcd
who giveth us the victory"
He spoke of the pure motives which in
spired the American people in war wi h Spa n
referring to the history of Spain, and COM
pairing the treatment of the Cubans by the
Spaniards as having parallel in the persecu-
ton OF the Armenians by the Turks, and say
Ing that American interference was justfabe.
If, he continued, there has be, a charge
come over the spirit OF this people in the
past two months, then that change was born
of the voices of our cannon at Manila ard
at Santiago-voices asking the American peo-
pie to go in and take possession of the land.
Providence has interfered to show the Ameri
can l-ople their duty to the word. 1t was not
luck, this miraculous destruction of the great
fleets of the enemy. 1t was miracle, and it
was given as a sign that should redeem
the islands of the sea from their bondage and
take them for ourselves
The preacher quoted Holy Writ, the depri-
walton of the Jews of the promises that had
been made them, and made other references
to Biblical history to show that Spain had
not brought forth the fruits of the earth and
the islands and had forfeited her sovereignty.
The United States, he said, will make the
islands that have been held in bondage fruit
full In other things than in the fruits of the
earth; it will take pos session and bring forth
intellectual and religious fruits.
The sermon was a complete justification, on
religious grounds, of the extension OF en-
pire, the speaker saying that it would be
piously right now to disregard the injunction

Mr.. Mayer, of Chicago, Visited
There While in the Navy.

R. H. Mayer, Of Chicago, who for
half dozen years served in the Unit
ed States navy, but who is now with
the Swift Packing company, is the
guest. of his brother, julie Mayer. He
may be stationed in ST. Paul in con-
nection with the Swift plant at the
stockyards, but his present visit is
one for recreation and not for bust
ness.
Mr. Mayer left the navy in 1855, but
during his term of service was for
number of years on the China station,
and on three occasions was at Manila
At that time there were no modern
American war vessels in the Orient;
and he served on the old Brooklyn,
wooden ship, full-rigged, but with
auxiliary steam power. Manila during
the time he was on the station was
strongly garrisoned, and the fortifica-
lions at Cavite, demolished by Admiral
Dewey were then, as at the time the
American admiral made his attack,
the Spanish stronghold at the entrance
to the harbor.
After returning from the Orient Mr..
Mayer served on the Petrel one of
Admiral Dewey's present fleet The
ship then was stationed in Atlantic
waters ands- was under Commodore

abroad to purchase war vessels Just

Pared with those who taught school in
the country outside of the city. No
one seemed to be able to answer this,
but President Zimmerman was ready
to say that as compared with other
cities the salaries Of the teachers was
much lower in st. Paul.
Returning to the question of how
much the school fund was likely to
receive this year the comptroller stat
ed he was not able to say as the semi
annual payment of taxes prevented his
making an estimate, and he had not
received the June settlement from the
county auditor. He thought this set
element might be obtained in the course
CT ten days or so, and pressed by Aid.
Sanborn admitted that ne might be
able to make an estimate after the
figures from the settlement had been
received.
Mayor Kiefer was asked to make
some suggestions, but declined on the
ground that there were others who ap-
peared to know better what was needed
than he did.
Comptroller McCardy brought up the
question of making the school fiscal
year correspond with the fiscal year OF
the other city departments. President
Zimmerman said the board had pre-
pared such q budget, and if the council
wished, it could be presented within
a day.
Corporation Attorney Markham in
terrupted to say that the change in the
fiscal year of the board could not be
n ade legally under the charter.
Comptroller McCardy asked: who
would it hurt?'
Corporation Attorney Markham
don't suppose you would knowingly
want to violate the charter, Mr. Nc
Cardy, would you?
Those present looked plessed and the
comptroller made no reply.
The scheme of Aid. Kenny, to use a
portion of the $4,000 emergency fund
for school purposes, was turned down
by the comptroller, who stated that it
would be a violation of the charter pro-
vision that one fund should not be
transferred to another.

FOR THE MIDWAY PARKWAY.
Board of Public Works Confirms

The board of public works yesterday con-
firmed the assessment for Midway parkway,
the 200-foot boulevard parkway which will
connect Smelling ard Hamline AVENUES. Tie
driveway on Langford avenue being practi-
cally turned over to the street railway COM
pany for its new Como interulbsn line, the
park board secured an agreement from the
railway company that it would pay for the
grading of the new parkway so the grading
and opening of the same will cost the tax
payers nothing.
The damages given the owners of the prop
erty taken for the parkway amounted to
So $685. and practically al this amount was
assessed back as benefits. The beard acted
on resolution sent to them by the board of
park commissioners to have the land con-
demned.
In the matter of the widening Of Como and
Phalen avenues action was postponed for four
weeks
In making an assessment for the Prospect
terrace boulevard on the West side bluff the
board is having some trouble. One OF the
property owners on Cherokee avenue informs
the board that S., 700 will be the figure for
which his property can be secured for the
boulevard, and were it not for an improve
ment of this kind the price would be much
higher. The board is of the opinion that
there will be contest in the curt over the
assessment, and will value the property to be
purchased at a low figure.
