Joe kelley ON Pitching.


Pitching these days isn't as hard as
1t used to be-" recently remarked 10"
Kelley. captain-manager of the Cincin-
natl Reds. 1.-THE rules are so strict now
that a player cannot talk to a pitcher.
and many of the twirlers who have
gone up in the air under the old regim,
are doing great work now
1T used to be that when club wa
not hitting pitcher 1t would try to
rattle him. Every time the players
passed him going to and from the field
something would be said to the pitcher
Intended to get him sore. and If you
succeeded in getting him to talk back
you had him sure. That was always
Cy SeymOur's trouble. There never
was pitcher with such deceptive
curves as Cy had, but the opposing
players usually got him ratified before
the game was over, and he would give
ten or twelve bases on balls and throw
the game away.
Under present conditions Cy would
be one of the greatest pitchers in the
world, for no one would be allowed to
say word to him.

Corbett,s CHANCES.

Ii the opinions of experts on pugil-
Ism mean anything Jim Corbett will
have few hackers among students of
the game for his fight with Jeffries in
Frisco Aug. II. The general belief is
that Corbett is going to sure defeat.
George Ccnsidine of New York, q big
bettor on fights, recently stated that if
any of Corbett's admirers are willing
to take odds of to / for their money
he will bet them any part of $4,000 on
Jeffries.
Il really cannot see where Corbett
has one chance in a thousand of beat
ing Jeffries," says Considine. I'm the
first place, he is not the great fighter
he was several years ago. He cannot
hit as hard now as he could then.
When he fought Jeffries at Coney Is
land, New York, he was in better shape
than he will ever be again. In that
fight Corbett hit Jeffries often enough
to beat dozen fighters, and you re-
member what little effect the blows
had on Jeffries. Corbett, in my esti-
nation, has seen his best days as a
fighter"

The Japanese plums are particularly

to him personally. but that it is a bad
thing for the church. He still stoutly
maintains that his position in defense. OF

the functions of clergyman. and that he
will consider himself legally authorized to
perform the marriage ceremony whenever
he is asked to do so. If any doubt should
then exist on that score, he explains, the
courts can be asked to settle it.
Mr. Richter expressed his scorn for the
action taken by the assembly by saying
that the church was under too much pet

FreIaht Men Don't AGREE.

No agreement was reached yesterday
at Chicago between the freight lines from
Kansas City and Chicago to the gulf as
to rates on flour from Kansas and Ne
braska. The lines to Chicago said they
would do nothing better than 221s cents
the rate now from Kansas City by the
way Of Chicago and lake and rail to New
York, and all rail to Newport News. The
gulf lines demanded a differential Of 21a
cents per 100 pounds, asserting that the
rates now in effect discriminate in favor
of the Chicago gateway.
Statistics were presented by the Chi
cago lines to- show that Is per cent Of
the flour traffic from Kansas and Ne
braska is going to the gulf ports and the
remaining rs per cent to the Atlantic

WELL KNOWN sTockMAN Is
KILLED ACCIDENTALLY.
WAS ALONE AT The TIME
IN Passing Through Wire Fence Both
Barrels Of Shotgun He Car
ried Are Discharged.
{! .

Meeteetse, Wyo., Dec. 1.-(Special to
The Gazette.) News was received here
last night of the accidental death by
shooting of Otto Franc, one of the
large and we'll known stockmen OF the
Big Horn basin, which occurred some
time yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Franc, who resided on his ranch,
about Is miles from this place, was
killed by the discharge of his own
shotgun. At about o'clock in the
afternoon he left home for the pur-
pose of going to corral some dis
tance from the ranch house, where he
was feeding some cattle, taking. his
gun along. In going to the feeding
pens it was necessary for hum to pass
through a wire fence, at the foot OF
which his body was discovered later
in the day.
AS he failed to return within the
time supposedly necessary for him to
visit the corral and get back TO the
house some OF his employees went in
search of him, fearing that he had met
with an accloent They followed the
trail usually taken and found Mr.
Francs remains lying near the fence,
with his shotgun beside the body.
From all appearance he had attempted
to pass through the fence by crawl
ing under the lower wire and after
he had emerged at the other side
evidently tried to pull his sgun after

The hammers seem to have caught in
one of the wires, as both barrels had
been discharged. The two charges en-
tered the body near the heart and
death must have resulted almost in
stantly.
Notice was given to the county au-
thorities and an inquest is in progress
at the ranch today.
