BALL PLAYERS IN THE BAY STATE.
1t Develops More Talent Than Any Other
state in the Union.

State IN inc Gnioh.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Massachusetts has developed more ball
players thar any other state in the union.
Many of the present stars of the league
were born there, and five of the Chicago
club spend their winters there. They are
Burns, who lives in Springfield; Dona-
hue of Taunton. Kittredge of Fitchburg,
Callahan of Fitchburg and Connor of
Danvers. Ryan was born in Clinton, but
has lived in Chicago for many years.
Burns home in Springfield is only by
adoption. He came from New York.
Here are the names of other present
players i'm the National league who were
born in the Bay state:
Boston-Duffy, Bergen, Tenney, Kobe
danz, Hamilton, Sullivan, Lewis.
Baltimore-Kelly, Robinson.
Neutrality-suspicious., Farrell, Leahy.
Philadelphia-Lajoie, Wheeler, Nash.
Brooklyn-Anderson. Burrill.
New York-Sulivan.
Cleveland-McGarr.
Pittsburg-Donovan. Mccarthy, Murphy,
Merritt.
St. Louis-Donnelly.
Louisville-McGee-
recollection by Tim Donahue. 1t is doubt
many famous players now out of the
game and the names of scores of minor
leaeuers and ii would make a big ros-
ter.
The other New England states a fur
nished much baseball talent, as lave
Philadelphia and its vicinity. In the old
DAYS few players got their start in the
West. The far West to-day sends but few
men to the big league.

Some time ago John d. Rockefeller,
in passing through Buffalo, learned
that dealer in the Elk street market
had small lot of about the finest APP
Piles ever put on sale in this vicinity.
Rockefeller stopped off, hunted up the
dealer and astonished him by taking
the apples at $1z barrel.
When the dealer recovered from his
surprise he set about keeping the
trade in sight. He was not long III
discovering that ut least portion of
New York's wealthy men were willing
to pay bonanza prices for eatables that
were of grade above the ordinary
market run.
Early this fall he conceived the idea
of stimulating home palates also, and
made trip through Vermont, where
he bought quantities of apples, hoping
to ship them to western Now York,
which is bare of this fruit this season,
but a canvass of the situation convinced
him that the metropolis was the
market for his apples, and the best Of
them went TO New York and Boston.

The interesting fact was reported by
Abbeville that with road machines and
convict labor the cost of improving the
roads, even in that billy and clayey
county, was only from 50 to SO per
mile. Darlington, which employs like
machines and labor, reported the cost
OF the convict force last year at twenty
five cents day per convict, and only
fifteen cents this year. On the basis
OF cost" exhibited in these counties il
ought to be practicable certainly for
any county to make good roads that
wants them. Anderson paid for it's
machines" which are operated by
convict labor, by means of "a ! mill
levy" with sandy soil operates "a road
machine" with convict labor and has
found the system Satisfactory. The
'old system" still obtains in Chester
County, where "the soil is red and the
comfy hilly," but systematic work
with the chain gangs has made the
roads ''much better" and the value of
property, it is said, has been zen
HANGED by virtue of these improve
ments." Darlington makes special
report, which is of great interest. The
sandy roads in that county have been
improved" by the plan Of spreading
n layer of clay on their surface. A
layer of ''six inches in depth" has
made firm, hard roadway" where
there was soft sandy one before.
which, when properly drained, has
given satisfaction.-Ch Charleston News
