CHICAGO. June 4.-Donovan's sena-

here this afternoon in the final game of
the series. The local team had taken
three straight from the tailenders, and
Callahan hoped to complete the record
with a clean sweep OF the series.

Teaching the Boys.

The cage was set up In a big glass
inclosed room. It was about sixty feet
long by twenty wide, and there was
tanbark on the floor, and a couple OF
young men in there warming up with
a ball. I had my ball clothes on, and
I was teaching them how TO pick UP q
ball and snap it underhand without any
raising up or stepping back when III,

his hands, and then got me up in a

professor, I heard said. and he was

baseball, three innings Of a professional
game, and two track meets.

THE PURAL CARRIERS.
Increase in Their Salaries Announc-
ed by Postofhce Department
This Week.

The following extracts from a let
ter received by Congressman \.
| Frank Lever from Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, rela-
tive to an increase in the salaries OF
the rural free delivery carriers. eN-
plains the change to a graded scale
of pay which has now gone into ef-
feet. Heretofore the carriers have
been receiving 5000 per annun. re-
gardleSS of the number OF miles Or
the number of families in their
routes:
Il beg to say that the law fixes the
maximum salary for rur2 free deliv-
cry carriers at SEQ per annunl. The
only change was the increasing Of
the amount from 5000 to SEQ. The
! law has always given the postmas-
ter general the authority to regulate
and grade the salaries. On July Ist
there were about 24,5oo rr'ral routes
The average length Of these routes
was about "a miles. Many of them
were go and 80 miles long. Former
ly most OF the carriers whose routes
were over 20 miles long received the
same pay. There was great COM
plant by carriers having routes from
24 to 80 miles that they were not
given no more pay than carriers hav-
ing routes but 20 and 2I miles. 1t
was thought equitable to take about
the average length of the routes and
make that the standard route. and
"a miles was selected. There were
between 1900 and $4,000 routes "a
miles and over in length. 1t takes
the carriers on an average of from
six to seven and half hours to de-
liver route "a miles long.
"A salary of 500 per annum for a
route "a miles in length is equivalent
to $50 per annum per mile But it
was thought that rather liberal al
lowance should be made for the cost
of the carriers equipment, SO instead
of deducting $50 mile for each mile
less than "a travelled only S1S per
mile is deducted. According to this
schedule carriers whose routes are
"a miles and over receive S72o, % to
"a miles receive S7o2, % to % miles
receive 1854, 21 to 22 miles receive
S666, 20 to Fl miles receive So4S. Io
to 20 miles receive S612, 16 to rS
miles receive S57o, II to 1o miles re-
ceive S54o,12 to IA miles re-
ceive S5o4, 10 to 12 miles receive
S46S.
Under this schedule of the a.
500 carriers nearly 10000 of them get
an increase Of over a hundred dollars
per annum. end the remainder get
increases from S4S to SS4 per annum.
The complaints you speak OF prob
ABLY come from those having routes
20, 21 and p miles long. They would
probably prefer a full "a mile route
and get the maximum pay. This dis
satisfaction can in many instances be
adjusted during the fiscal year by
the extension OF routes so as to take
in additional territory. In that way
larger number of people can be
served on the same route where the
carriers can without difficulty dellv-
er the mail.
