Many baseball cranks often wonder what is
the direct cause of batting streaks. For in
stance, a pitcher has boon holding a team of
heavy hitting opponents down to two hits and
no runs for six innings, but suddenly, in the
seventh inning. he is touched up for half n dozen
solid drives in quick succession. In the eighth,
however,. he settles down" again, and there Is
easy In one inning, and cannot be touched In
the othersi' That's an oft.repeated question,
and 1t has been answered in various ways. The
best solutionIof the problem comes from Manager
Soleo OF the champion BOstons. He says that 1t
IL simply a question of sizing up a pitchers de-
livery for "A single inning and then losing the
streak, because the pitcher is clever enough to

heads 20 well that their pitching Is far more
scientific than the public has any idea OF. For

lie that we are getting onto his curves, literally
speaking. He promptly shifts his style, and In
the next inning, IL lie Is In good form, we find
that 1t 10 necessary TO study him all over again.
OF course, many batting streaks are due to n
pitcher losing his head and not knowing how to
keep opponents In check. Bat5men also can do
much by working up enthusiasm among them

WaterW Works for Monticello, by no
 Means in Sight

On Thursday evening of last week there was d mass-meeting of the property holders of Monticello, at the Court House, for the pur- pose of discussing the water works question. Mayor, K. l.. Hyatt, explained the object of the meet ing, which was to see whether the people were in favor of taxing district, and the city owning and operating the water-works. After which, Mir. C. l.. Burks was elect ed Chairman, and Mir. II. NJ. Han kins, Secretary. Expressions up on the subject being in order, speakers, galore, occupied the floor. and what was most remark able and little singular, they al- most unanimously opposed the tax ing district proposition, directly, and water-works, at all, indirectly. While we regret it ever so much, candor compels Us to confess that it will most likely be a very cold day in August before Monticello has a system of water-w works.
 The town has put in well at an expense of $2,275, and which it is said will afford an abundant SUD- ply of pure water, but it will re- main d useless expense until our people change their minds, or a new question comes on.
 Me hope that something may turn up soon to brighten the pros poets for the future of our town but just now We fail to discern anything.
