Finished With Runners.
The trial was made with the GUS
tomary two runners to set the pace, and
the forward sulky carried wire dust

last eighth pole the speed of the little
mare was so terrific that Billings drew
her from behind the forward sulky
driven by DOC" Tanner, and the finish
was made i'm a drive, with the two run

three horses flashing under the wire the

on the first trial and the quarter was
reached in O:291z. the half in 0:59il. three

Pitcher Kennedy. of the Pittsburg
team. saws baseball as IL is played
today is far behind the times He says:
Baseball ideas OF today are twenty
years behind in the matter OF training.
The present method is 10 take a spring
trip. let the men roll around in the
grass, come back sick from change OF
water after having no particular work
and no instruction In the game at all.
"One is surprised to find that on majrr
league teams no attention whatever is
paid to regular instruction of players.
Beyond what the men pick up casually
from observation or hard experience,
nothing is done toward development of
players.
This is big mistake, 1 know
was a pitcher myself and for fifteen
years since have studied the scientific
side Of the game.
II can say without exaggeration that
the possibilities OF training a team
rightly under proper methods are such
that RobisOn's tail-end team can be
made to beat Pittsburg. This sounds
VIVID, doesn't it? At the same time it
is possible"

CHURCH FEDERATION.
Field Secretary Root Spoke al Pilgrim
Congregational Church.

Rev. T. Talmadse Root, the field secre-
tary OF the Rhode Island Federation OF
Churches, preached at the morning SER
vice yesterday at the Pilgrim Congrega-
tional church. Rev. Mr.. Root took his
text from Luke xix, Al: He saw the city
and wept over it," saying in part:
The city gives cause for weeping. In
its concentrated crime and vice. In Its
heartless luxury and hopeless poverty, In
It's political corruption. due to the league
cf lawmakers with the lawless. the ALI
ance OF the vicious and avaricious. The
root of all these evils is the fact which
distinguishes city from country life, viz.
that nobody knows his neighbors. This re.
moves restraints and sense OF response
hiity for self. for others. and for the
community. H. Providence does not sec
the worst phases OF city life. IL Is simply
because we have not reached the stage OF

Unlike Jerusalem, the modern city is bat
entering upon it's career. Even Charles
Booth In his pessimistic picture of Lon
don testifies to the impressive fact that
the church people are temperate and in
dustrious In the midst Of an abyss OF

weak because OF Its divisions: no church
can claim 10 per cent OF any given local
ity; most draw attendants from all over
the city. Hence no church feels response
bility for any locality; no locality for any
church. The only possibility OF restoring
this sense of mutual responsibility and
so cutting the tap root OF all the evils OF
city life is by the cooperative parish
system. The question before the Protes-
tant churches of Providence was stated
by the committee organising the fedora
ton In 1900. Can Protestantism thus or.
Ranize itself and show thereby that vol.

oient as that imposed by authority Our
