appe AIRED for his great effort to lower
the two-mile trotting record of 4:29A,
made by himself last week at Lexing-

At the second trial the starter gave
Hudson the word and the handsome
trotter fairly flew around the first
turn. Hudson apparently checked his
speed at the quarter, which was pass
ed in BAN. Going down the back
stretch Onward Silver broke, but soon
reg&;ned his stride The half was
reached in 1:0SA, and the three-quar-
ter pole was passed in 1:4112 Here
the running horse set a hot pace to
the wire and the mile was made in
2:1412. At the next pole the time was
registered at 2:4SA. Down the back
stretch again Onward Silver worked
with clock-like precision and the mile
and half post was reached in 3:21A.
Here the runner again set a hot pace
and at the last quarter pole the time
was registered 3:541A. Hudson began
to urge the horse in the final run
home and when the wire was reached
new worlds record was hung out
the time being 4:2SA. Both horse and
driver received an ovation.
Cresceus, with two runners, next ap-
reared. Ketcham sent him along at a
lively gait to the quarter in 81 u.
When the half was passed in 1902 old
Logsemen shook their heads and re-
marked that the 2:O2A record was

REFORMS IN BASEBALL
SECRETARY FARRELL RECON-
MENDS A LOT OF THEM
At the Meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Baseball Leagues He Pro-
poses to Elevate the Game in Some
Essentials-New Set of Officers Is
Elected.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The members
of the National Association Of Base
ball Leagues began their annual meet
ing at the Fifth Avenue hotel today.
The delegates listened to the annual
reports OF President P. Z. Powers and
Secretary J. II. Farrell, elected officers
and a new national board, and decided
to appoint rules committee Of their
own. Among those present were:
j. FL. Farrell, Auburn, N, Y, president
Of the New York State league; T. III.
Murnane Boston, president of the New
port, secretary of the Connecticut State
league; M. H. Sexton, Rock Island, pres
ident of the Western and Three I.
president Of the Pacific Northwest league;
Aaron Frank, Little Rock, president Of
the Southern league; Thomas F: Burns.
Colorado Springs; Hugh Duffy, Milwau-
kee; G. W: Beament Jr.. Evansville, Ind;
Louis D. Smith, Terre Haute; D. E. Dug
dale, Seattle, Wash.
The reports Of President Powers and
ports are most fattering to the associa-
ton. In his report, Secretary Farrell
made recommendations regarding the pro-
priety Of fixing salary scale for minor
league players. Another recommendation
is calculated to raise the tone of the
national game. Mr.. Farrell proposes that
a player reported for drunken or disor-
derly conduct the second time shall be
declared ineligible to play with any Ma
tional association club for the rest of the
season. Among other recommendations
made in Mr.. Farrelfs report was:
Modify "Farmina'' Rule"
eft might be advisable to consider a
modification of the farming rule with the
idea of establishing stated penalty for
its violation if it is to be continued"
1t is recommended that the national
agreement be amended so as to specifical-
ly state the period Of time granted club
owners in which to accept a players terms
and retain a claim upon a players serv-
ices.
81 would recommend that provision be
made to penaliZe any club manager who
communicates, in the line Of negotiations
with any player under contract to an
other club member of this association"
Letters were read from John L. Brush
and James Hart suggest ting an utilization
between the National league and the Ma
tional association. Mr.. Farrell, however,
declared after the meeting that the asso-
citation would remain independent of any
other organization.
Mr.. Powers and Mr.. Farrell were both
unanimously reelected, respectively pres
ident and secretary treasurer. The new
National board was elected as follows:
M. H. Sexton, Rock Island, chairman; 7.
H. Murnane, Boston; w. M. Kavanagh,
Little Rock; J. III. O'Rourke, Bridgeport;
rell, Auburn. Mr.. Kavanagh takes the
place of J. B. Nicklin, of the Southern
league
An adjournment was taken until tomor
row.

M'eRAw HAS BEEN ROASTING.
Manager of the Giants Has Not Signed
the Men Reported.

NEW YORK, Oct. "Muggsy' Nc
Graw is a very much worried man.
John T. Brush, the new owner of the
New York Baseball club, has been ex-
pected to arrive in this city ever since
last Wednesday from his home in Indian
apolis. Then, maybe, the names Of New
Works next year team will be revealed.
Johnny EIcGraw is still doing his sphinx
act, and no one need expect to hear how
the Giants will line up in 1903 until John
T. gets here Even then it is likely that
another excuse will be made for a delay.
There is no explanation of this long alb
sence.
McGraw's worri1nent is evidence enough
that the little manager mas not been haV-
ing everything his own way in securing
the American league stars. It can be
said, too, that he has trouble enough in
signing the star members Of the Giants
of the past season.
McGraw has not secured Christy Ma
theWson's signature to a contract for
the next season Frank Bowerman is
another McGraw has not signed, and,
even though ''Matty'' may make up his
mind later on, it Is a sure thing that
Bowerman will not. For it can be said
positively that Bowerman is signed with
The st. Louis American league club for
two years at a salary of $3.50 year.
The big catcher, at the time he signed,
received a bonus of $500 cash, and. if de-
tails are necessary. the money was paid

suited in Helping Things
Along.

final sessions of the conference of the
Missionary Council of the Protestant
Episcopal Church were held today. I'm

ment be increased to $1,000,000 annual
ly, and recommending certain methods
for meeting the apportionment. The
council at the afternoon session adopt
ed the paragraph fixing the sum to be
raised, but tabled the remainder of the
resolution.
The topic discussed at the morning
session was ways and Means"
1t was presented by Bishop Law
renee, of Massachusetts; Bishop Edsall,
Of Minnesota, and Archdeacon mann,
of Newark, N. J. The apportionment
plan played a conspicuous part in the
discussion, the consensus Of opinion be-
ing that the proposed scheme of secur-
ing money to further missionary work
was desirable.
At the afternoon session addresses
were made by Rev David III. Greer, Of
New York, and Francis ]. McMaster,
of Missouri, on the subject, What
Does the Church Owe to Missionaries? ?"
The night session took the form Of
a public meeting at the Academy of

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Oct. 23.-Presi-
dent Charles F. Eliot, of Harvard Uni
versity, said yesterday in an address be-
fore the Connecticut State Teachers as
ISOLATION that the American public school

Fairgrounds.
President Eliot alleges as proof of the
inefficiency Of the public schools that
their training
Has failed for two generations in deal
ing with the barbarous vice of drunken
ness.
Has injured the teaching of science in
attempts to inculcate total abstinence.
Has failed to train citizens so that they
can vote intelligently.
Has failed to stamp out gambling.
Has failed to curb mob law and crimes
of violence.
Has failed to suppress taste for ep-

DIDN'T BURN HARD COAL
UNTIL A CENTURY AGO
Indian Used to Make Pipe Bowls of the
HBlack Stones"

Indian Used to Make Pipe Bowls of the
"BIack Stones"
1t is just a century ago that Daniel
Fell made the first successful test of hard
coal in Luzerne county, Pa, for heating
purposes. 1t is said that the Indians
knew of the "black stones and made
pipe bowls Of them. Moravian mission
aires early came across the strange min
eral in their long journeys through the
woods. Even after the coal had begun
to be mined it was difficult to sell any.
The people did not understand how to
use 1t and asserted that it would not,
burn Signed certificates that "stone coal
will burn had to be sold intending pur-
chasers. Even as late as 1921 the Lehigh
and Navigation company sent but 365 tons
to Philadelphia.
Hard coal was first successfully used
at the wire mills of White e. Hazard,
Falls of Schuylkill, through an accident
in December. 1914. The coal cost $2S
ton. But the men could not ignite it.
In evaporation they pitched a quantity
of coal into a furnace, shut the doors and
went about some other work Some hours
later the furnace doors were found to
be red hot and the interior a mass of fire.
William Henry, manufacturer of musk
cts near Nazareth, had secured some of
the coal in 1898 for his FORCES. His black
smith told him the neighbors called him
a fool for trying to burn the "black
Stones In 1903 however he built
mill and successfully used hard coal in
