ager Irwin, although he thinks a great deal

A successful manager must know some
thing outside of base ball and be a student
of human nature as well as the points of
the game. Some players can be handled by
"guying" and kidding" but which is Ew-
ing's favorite method of ''jollying" as he
calls it. Ewing cannot be accused of ia
voritism, but instead he goes to the other
extreme.
Louisville always did have whole stable
full OF good pitchers. Since the days of
Heoker and Ramsey, in the early sos, this
club has been lucky in picking up the best
young pitchers developed by the minor
leagues every year, and 1t is also fact that
Louisville never had a really good hitting
team. its main strength always being in
the pitching department.

Sir Augustus weighing occupied the CEN
ter of the stage at National Park yesterday
afternoon fer about two hours and the re-
mainder of the players were simply supers.
There was a game scheduled between the
Cleveland and Washington clubs, which
the locals won by the score of to 0. but
weighing did the playing, while the other
seventeen players looked on. Errors of the
exasperating kind were made back of Gus
but he kept at his business with a per-
sistenCy that was most enjoyable to the
onIOokers. and in the end enjoyed the sat
isfaction of having shut the Wanderers"
out without run. The very first ball that
weighing sent over the plate proclaimed the
fact that the veteran was feeling good and
that his arm was in prime condition. The
curves and drops that sometimes have
sluggish look about them as they sail up
to the plate were sizzling with speed yes
terday. and a result but five hits were
made off the Senator's delivery. and with
perfect support but four should have been
registered.
Opposing weighing on the rubber was the
staIwart Knepper. the boy that 'coppered''
the first game for Cleveland Tuesday, but
this time he had something stronger than
Dineen to struggle against. and consequent
ly went down TO disastrous defeat. Mr..
Knepper did not pitch bad ball by any
means, and in addition had perfect support,
the Senators and resulted in runs. The
locals scored but eight hits altogether off
knepper, and Il very close game should
have resulted under these circumstances.
but Weyhing's extraordinary performance
nullified all the good work of the opposing
club.
In the fifth inning the Clevelands made
persistent bid for a run and were helped
along by two errors of Slagle and Padden
but Weyhings nerve and shrewdness came
To the rescue and the third man went out
with three Wanderers resting on the
bases Tucker sent fly in center that
Slagle dropped. and after LOCkhead had
fuuIed out TO kittridge. Schrecongost sin
gled over second and Padden fumbled
knepperS easy grounder Here were three
men on bases and only one out with Tom
my DOwd at the bat. one of the best emer-
geGCy hitters in the league. weighing bent
all his energies TO his work. and as a re-
suit struck Dowd out, and Harley was
tired on an easy grounder to MCCiann. This
was the CleyelandS' expiring effort the
golden opportunity to score not coming
their way again
Blanks We're diShed up to the Senators for
six innings : d result of Knepper's good
twirling and fine fielding. but in the seventh
three taIlies We're registered. McGann beat
out an iniirld hut and Bonner walked. Free
man then Cleverly sGfTrificed both runners
up a base and Padden then sent them home
with beautE-bright triple into right CEN
ter Atherton's fly to Harley abled Dick
to score. In the eighth inning one more
made by the Senator's O'Brien
beat out infeld hit and went to third
on BOnnerS single into right, the latter
stealing second while the catcher held the
ball. Freeman then drove a liner into right
field. scoring O'Brien, but Bonner was nip
ped at the plate on good return of the
ball by McAIister, in right.
Following Is the score.

Died.

FULLER.-Elijah Fuller died this
morning at o'clock at the home of
his sen, City Clerk Howard NJ. Fuller,
North Centre street, aged 78 years.
Mr.. Fuller, who was a man of strong
constitution, was taken sick with
paralysis on August 10.
Mr.. Fuller held the Office of register
of wills several terms, and was once
prominent in Democratic politics. He
was proprietor of the old Varnum
House, also the Hotel fremont at
one time, and was engaged in the
tonic beer business for years. Mrs.
R. R. Sanner, of Oakland Miss Cora
A. Baer, of Middletown, Md, and
Howard NJ. Fuller, of Cumberland,
are the surviving children.-Cumber-
land News, Tuesday.
KING.-Joseph, the five months old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. King, at
their residence in Oakland on Sunday
night at IL o'clock. The funeral took
place Monday morning. The afflicted
parents have the sympathy of large
circle of friends in their bereavement.

The Agricultural Department has
collected statistics showing that the
average load hauled over American
country roads is almost exactly one
ton and that the hauling costs per
mile about 25 cents for each wagon
load or ton. In western Europe the
average load is three tons and the
cost per mile per ton varies from : to
10 cents, The average for England.
France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland
and Belgium is SO cents per mile for
every ton. European farmers are
enabled by their better roads to haul
loads three times as heavy as in this
country and thereby save two-thirds,
approximately, of the cost.
These figures are telling argument
for better roads. The waste of time
and labor and the wear and tear on
vehicles enter but slightly into the
computation and should also be con
sidered. The whole story shows the
miserably mistaken economy of bad
roads

Tuesday night of this week as a
freight train was coming up the sew
enteen mile grade the crew was
attached by number of tramps who
were stealing a ride and in the mix-up
one of the brakemen, whose name we
failed to learn, was roughly handled.
The trouble took place at point lust
below Bloomington on the West Vir-
ginia side of the river, and yesterday
several tramps who were recognized
by the trainmen were arrested at
Piedmont and held for Il hearing
which will take place as soon as the
injured brakeman can appear against
them.

A Frackman, in Attempting to Mount a
moving Train, Loses His Life on
the Grade.
1Tuesday afternoon of this week a
trackInan named Sherman, residing
at EveTett's tunnel on the seventeen
mile grade, was sent up the track by
his foreman with instructions to call
IN the fagman who had been posted
at considerable distance west of the
scene of operations of the balance of
the track crew. In obeying the order
the man had to pass the house where
he resided with his family. Stepping
from the track he held few minutes
conversation with his wife when a
west-bound freight train approached
which Sherman attempted to mount
and in doing so was thrown directly
q Her the wheels of the helping en-
= Jle and literally cut to pieces. The
accident occurred in the presence
of his wife who stood within reach
but was helpless to render any aid
The engineer, not knowing of the
accident, pulled his train on up the
grade and the mangled remains of the
unfortunate man laid where he had
been killed for an hour or more before
assistance came to remove them.
Sherman and his family recently
moved to Everett's tunnel from the
vicinity of Johnstown, Pa.

There seems to be much typhoid
fever throughout the country, though
very little of it has developed in this
section. Said a prominent physician
yesterday; Typhoid fever seems to
be the worst form of disease prevalent
in the country at present. Most of
the contagious diseases such as small.
pox, measles, etc, seems to have been
tempered down considerably until
they are not considered dangerous to
the extent to which they We're only
few years ago. But typhoid seems to
be developing in every section of the
country and it's form is very severe"
