BcrlioZ. like Dumas and Gericault, was

LIVED TO BE NEGLECTED.
Rerlioz lived through long career of
obiiquy and glory to final neglect. Quite

himself neglected for composers whose
names are now synonymous with inapti-

invested with technique fully appreciates
him.
Berlioz's music was the expression of
but one side of n very complex being. he
was 4 great musician as well as q bril-

student of life than either. As a critic he
ranks very high. but. he took criticism to
mean what it really is-a study Of Me.so
when he finds reader who is interested
in life and music Berlioz fascinates that
reader irresistibly.
1t may be forgotten that Berlioz ranked
for many years among the most accom-.

The Partisan press. He was. within his
limitations. 4 master of expression and
style: he had energy. spirit. wit and

ffect-footcd batsmen OF the Bay type
would make Il material difference in
the standing of the Spiders.
The willy pitchers of today have
learned how to fool the sluggers. But
the best of them are helpless before
such hunters as Burkett, Thomas,
Fultz, Keller, Jones. Bay and Picker
ing. The hunt deftly placed is almost
impossible to field 1t takes the in
field out of its regular position. Pitch
er, catcher, third baseman. short-stop
and second baseman are likely to
leave the bases uncovered in the fran
tic scramble to get the ball to first
ahead of the hitter. Under such con-
ditions it is not to he wondered at
that clever, quick-thinking basc-run-
ners frequently get from first to third
on infield hits.
The bunt, successfully used, has n
diShcaTtening effect ON the opposing
team. Nothing so break up pitcher
as to find one man after another get
ting down to first base on little hits
that roll so slowly that no one can
get them up in time. Besides, the
hunt is potent producer of wild
throws. Waddell is a fine instance of
the pitcher who can seldom find first
or second base when in a hurry. The
big southpaw has lost more than one
game by his erratic throws.
There are naturally many more
left-hand hunters than right-hand
ones. The man who bats from the
southpaw's side of the plate can get
the ball toward third more easily
than his right-hand rival. and has the
advantage of several feet start in the
dash for first base"

NEW THEORY GIVEN
Rock Island Said to be Back of
a St. Louis.St. Paul
ShortIine.
SURVEYING THROUGH MISSOURI
May be Inspired by Same Source
as the Iowa, Illinois ~
Missouri.

The operations of Il party of sur
veyors at work in Missouri upon what
is evidently the southern end of the
proposed Iowa, Illinois d Missouri
road that has been projected from
St. Louis to St. Paul through the tri-
cities, has led to the belief becoming
established down in that vicinity that
the Rock Island road is back of the
entire deal. \ press dispatch from
Mexico, Mo, has the following in re
gard to the surveying party and the
probable import of the work being
done:
"A party of surveyors under the
charge of John Sanders, of Memphis.
Mo-, has completed a preliminary sur
vcy for the proposed st. Paul and St.
Louis railroad to this point from
Memphis, near the northern border
of the state. The line being surveyed
is following closely. if not absolutely.
the old Eldon-St. Louis survey. made
u few years ago. 1t is thought that
the Rock Island is behind the effort
to supply the line.
The road has been incorporated
under the laws of the states of Iowa
and Missouri to run from IIldon or
Ottumwa, Iowa, To Union. Mo. 1t will
enter Missouri at the north line of
Scotland county, passing through the
county seats of Memphis. Edna,
Shelbyville, Paris. Mexico. Hermann
and Union. Profile maps have been
filed in all counties as far south as
Audrain.
Good Evidence.
The evidence that the Rock Island
is behind the movement is almost
conclusive No other line except the
Rock Island enters Eldon, the north
err terminus that is most discussed
IN connection with the road. while the
Rock Island also makes Ottumwa. a
short distance from Eldon. Further
more the road could connect with but
one line at Union, which is the old St.
Louis q Colorado line, built out of
st. Louis as far as the Gasconade and
now under course of construction to
Kansas City. This line was bought
by the Rock Island few months ago.
Survey has been matte of the pro-
posed route of the new ST. Paul and
st. Louis railway, which is to run
from Union, Mo. To OttumWa, Iowa.
The course in Iowa has not been sur
veyed. The proposed road would give
the Rock Island n short cut to st.
Louis for traffic from its mass of
lines in Iowa. northern Illinois. Min
nesota. Nebraska, and so ON. and
serve as connecting link between
that vast system of trackage and the
thousands of miles of the Frisco sys-
tenn lying south and southwest of st.
Louis. which has also passed to the
control of the Rock Island. The deal
had already been made for the Frisco
at the time the proposed new line was
Incorporated, May II of this year"

Merits of Bunting.

While a great deal Of complaint
has been made of the bunting game
that Manager Donnelly and some of
the other diamond generals of the
Three-Eye league persistentIy play
there is something to be said in its
favor, too: The st. Louis Republic
says:
bunting is the basis of scientific
batting. No team can win games
without players who have mastered
the knack of using the soft bat" and
tapping along the first and third base
lines the eXasperatingly slow ground
ers that are so difficult to handle.
Each year the Importance of the
bunt increases, and the salaries of its
opponents soar upwards. Keeler got
$4,000 per season, the highest wages
ever paid a ball player, mainly be
cause he knows how to make safe hits
without putting the ball out of the
diamond. Fultz is drawing $4,000 for
pretty much the same reason.
Baltimore and Brooklyn won be-
tween them half dozen pennants
because HanIon was able to impart
the knack of bunting to his men. Com
iskey was twice successful. in Chicago
through the same knowledge. The
Boston Americans and the Pittsburg
Nationals, who are now leading the
major league races both have three or
four scientific stickers.
Bunting is the game that wins. and
no team can pull down championships
without it. The days have passed
when sheer sluggers of the type of
men who composed the famous Chi
cago and Detroit teams can bat out
victories. The Cleveland club of today
has a remarkable team of long hitters
in Hickman, Lajorie, Bradley, Flick
and Mccarthy And yet the team is
not in first place. One or two more
