Automobile stornrs Rooms.

The coming fashionable apartment
house will have storage rooms for aus
tomobiles. When houses were fitted
up with bicycle storage rooms it was
regarded as something decidedly
modern" A new apartment house
in New York is being planned with au-
tomobile storage rooms. The owner OF
the house intends to rent apartments
only to persons who are wealthy
enough to own automobiles. Every ar
raEgement will be provided for charg-
ing storage batteries, and this will
necessitate the keeping of staff of
mechanics to clean, oil. repair and ad-
Just the motor machinery of the self
goers. In some cities the liverymen
have practically boycotted the automo-
bile, claiming the electric vehicles in
lures their trade.

are pulled off by the magnates," said
Earl Wagner, the other day. I'VE will
take, for example, the case of Danny
McGann. Danny, whom l regard as
the equal Of any first baseman in the
league. was offered gratis to the New
York club by the National League,
with view, of course. to building Zip
the team and helping out Freedman.
But the doughty Andy turned down

Philadelphia. and Robson of St.
Louis, began to bid for the big Ken
tuckian, and ran his price up to 5000.
In other words, 1t would appear that
he was worth nothing to the New
York club, but $4,000 to the st. Louis
club. Diekers in unseasoned ball play
ers are as uncertain as investments in
horse flesh. Last spring Ed Hanlon
shipped Outfelder Sheckard over to
Baltimore as a sort of discard from
the Brooklyns. He was regarded as

Among the other subjects that have
been discussed in relation to changes in
baseball has been the reduction of the
pitching distance. and 1t is likely to
be brought up at the next meeting.
Cutting down the distance would be a
bad move. Speaking on the matter,
Frank Kitson, the Brooklyn twirler,
said:
with team carrying from four to
six pitchers. the present pitching dis
lance is comparatively easy for a
pitcher. With the distance reduced
even five feet, pitchers would be SO eff
fective that hitting would come down
to minimum. A pitcher with lots of
speed could make batsman look like
n wooden man, and the number of
strike outs would be enormous. Bat
ting averages OF 300 would be rare,
and the man who could get a hit In
fve times at bat would be considered
a heavy hitter. The pitchers and the
public are satisfied with the present
pitching distance, and as they are the
ones principally concerned I think

Inquirer says:

the majority of the games played with
each of these. The StoRie Smokers
have beaten Brooklyn in eight out OF
fifteen games, Philadelphia in nine oui

tories have been from the teams which
promise to be the biggest factors In

Pittsburgers are also frightened by
the fact that they have been getting
stronger as the season has advanced
while Brooklyn's record recently has
only been fair. Since the first of July
the champions have been playing little

On good authority here, says
Pittsburg special, it is announced that
the move to form a rival baseball
union to oppose the National League
is assuming shape and that the effort
this fall will be successful. Two men

AN ANARCHIST QUEEN
the Head of the Chicago
Reds.
Lucy Parsons,

The dominating figure in the an
archist circles OF Chicago is Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, the wife of the noted an
archist who was hanged for his con-
nection with the Haymarket riots. She

OF dynamite. "Hirellngs of capisal!"
and Minions of plutocrats!" are her
pet names for the officers of the law
and these she hurls at them when she
harangues her followers ON the street
corners.
Mrs. Parsons was born on the brown
barrens of Texas ranch As years ago.
Her mother was o Creek Indian and
her father pure Mexican, so that this
noted queen of anarchists is a mixture
Of the Aztec and the North American

MlLwAuKEE's SHORT STOP.

William Conroy, the shortstop of the
Milwaukee club of the American league
was born in Philadelphia on April S,
1873. He learned to play ball in Cam
den, N. J., and secured his first profess
sional engagement with the Carlisle
club Of the Cumberland Valley league
in 1896. He played with the Milton,
Pa, team in 1897 and in 1898 made a
fne record with the Paterson club of
the Atlantic league. While member
of the Cortland team. of the New York
league, in 1899, his work attracted the
attention Of the managers Of the clubs
of the American and Eastern leagues,
and his release was purchased by Mil

Captain Charles T. Reilly, who
opened the season with Denver. Is
among the old leaguers. He was six
years with Philadelphia. He began
professional ball in 1887 with Savan-
nah, Ca, in the Southern League. He
was with Kansas City the latter part
of last year. Mr.. Reilly expects to
make Colorado his future home. eHe

Parsons was very conservative
then" says Mrs. Parsons in talking
over her career. "He had the old idea
CT religion, and / got that out of him.
About social questions he hadn't
thought at ALL"
They came to Chicago twenty-seven
years ago, and that was the beginning
of the career Of Lucy Parsons. Par
sons got place as typesetter.
The tide of anarchy in Chicago rose
higher and higher. and with it rode
Parsons and his. Indian wife. They
lectured, and wrote and took part in
all the secret meetings of the Reds.
When the bomb was thrown in Hay
market square and Chicago walked up
to the danger Parsons was one OF the
men who was tried and hanged for the
crime. He was one of the Chicago an
archists hanged in the county jail,
while the streets were deserted and
still, shutters fast on houss and a
black pail hung over the city, and men
were white and trembling with fear.
From that time to the present Mrs.
Parsons has been growing more bitter
in her denunciation of present condi-
lions. She is woman with a griev-
anc3. Her creed is education, agita-
ton, evolution with an occasional rev.
olution thrown in to make things live
ly. She believes in no private owner
ship nor in political government. Her
idea is to divide society into Industrial
groups, each Of them to manage its
own industry in its own way.

To-day an incident occurred which
gratified me more than anything that
has happened for a long time. AS I
was riding over the desolate mountain
region, l was surprised to find. on a
sudden turn in the road, two little
girls playing on a large rock They
were poorly clad, and after looking at
me a moment began to run away.
Children said I. don't run awayl
II You knew who l am you wouldn't
run away from me.
1--WE do know you they answered.
'You naver saw me before said.
for I never passed along here
But we know you said the chill
dren. We've got your picture in our
house. You're General Lee! We amt
dressed clean enough to see you.' and
they scampered off to a hut on the
mountainside."
Then the general told of another
adventure that he had had the same
day While riding through thick
woods, he met man who, recognizing
him, stopped. and throwing up his hat
in the air, exclaimed: General.
please let me cheer you'll" and then he
hurrahed as loudly as he could.
General Lee was too great a man to
be excited by ordinary applause. On
the contrary, he was annoyed by a
compliment to his valor or skill as a
general. But he was touched by the
compliment which the two little girls
Of the mountain paid him: I'VE amt
