Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 18.-Intelligence
has just come to hand regarding two impor-
tant cricket matches which will be played
in the metropolis within the next few weeks
which for interest will be on par with the
recent Marylebone contest. which attracted
the biggest crowd New York has ever seen
at a game Of this description.
knowing that the British men of war who
are at present visiting Canadian and Nova
Scotian waters were keen cricket enthu-
siasts, numbering among their officers many
who had achieved great regulations on the
English and foreign cricket fields In college
and public school days, Mr.. Kelly the Sec
rotary of the Metropolitan District Cricket
League. correspondent with them for the
purpose Of securing game on behalf Of the
Staten Island Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club
before the season closed. The feet have al
ready played games In Montreal and Quebec
and their form was such that great crowds
attended the matches officially placed on
their program.
1t will therefore be readily imagined that
the affirmative reply just received will give
great pleasure to the enthusiasts. the naval
officers not only willingly consenting to q
game, but stating that II 1t can be arranged
they will be delighted to play return con-
test provided the season Is not too far ad-
vanced.
Prince Louis Of Battenburg, who is in
command Of the neet. is very close con-
nection of the King of England (himseh q
keen supporter Of the great English ma
tional camel and will personally attend the
match. which will take place under the aus
pieces OF the Staten Island Club at Living
ston.
Rear Admiral Bob" Evans, with his off,
GERS, will be invited as guests of the club
and as the fighting admiral Is keen on ali
outdoor sports he Is expected to accept the
invitation, and thus for the first time wit
ness this game on local territory.
An exceptional point of interest Is the fact
that strong efforts will be made to secure
the attendance of President Roosevelt It
is a well-known fact that the President
some time ago took up the game. coached
by former member of the Haverford Col
lege team, who had been engaged as tutor
to the sons. and expressed his approval Of
the manly sport, Consequently. as this Will
be the first time on record when naval
heroes win be pitted against civilians on the
cricket field, It II sincerely to be hoped that
the President win see his way clear to ac-
cept The Invitation.

BATTER SHOULD
STICK TO HIS STYLE

when you see batter changing his
style of batting every little while, choking
the bat one day and swinging the next
running up In the box and standing far
back behind the plate, look out for him
he is going to blow up" says President
Comiskey of the White Sox.
when a ball player finds the way he can
handle his bat with the greatest ease ana
the most success. let him stick to that one
style Of stick work. AS soon as he goes
to changing the pitchers know he Is gone
and he might as well quit, for he tells every
one who will come within sight of him that
he can't bat any more.
Zone of the most striking cases of this
kind ever knew was that of Billy Cling
man. There wasn't better fielder In the
country than he, and he used to do fairly
we'll with the stick. But finally he got to
switching, hoping to Improve his batting or
keep 1t up to his old standard. 1t WASH
any time at all until 1t was known all over
the circuit that Clingman was all In. 80 far
as hitting the ball was concerned. With
little discretion he might have stayed in
the big league quite a while longer, just
for his fielding, making bluff at hitting.
But II you herald the fact that you are all
in from the housetops 1t won't take long
for the manager to flag you and relegate
you to the minors.
Some years back there was craze for
left-hand batterS, because few had been
developed who had been especially success
full in beating out hunts and slow. choppy
grounders to the infield. Hanlons Balti-
more club was the model along these lines.
The result was that every ball player in
the country Immediately began practicing
>left-hand batting tried to bunt the ball
and to chopfi It. 1t was more or less OF q
fad, for It isn't every diamond star that
has the ability to shine In that kind OF
work. Jennings, Keller. McGraw and some
OF those men were there with the goods.
The vast majority OF those who tried to
switch from right to left-hand batting ana
from hitting the ball on the nose to tap
ping 1t gently or chopping II down found
to their sorrow that such ball playing was
not for them.
1.-THE minor Lacquer should know, before
coming into the big organizations. how he
can handle the ash to the greatest advan-
.age. The wise manager will have taught
him his qualification in that line and de-
veloped him where he showed strongest.
The chances are, even then, that, after
coming into the majors. he will have to
switch to q certain extent. for the pitching
In the big leagues Is different from the NIL
ferent style OF batting and position in
standing at the plate. The batter probably
will shorten up a trifle on his bat, 50 as TO
get better control In following the curves
Of the pitcher, but aside from that he
ought to be well developed before drawn

LET batter learn his strongest style.
both as to position at the plate and in
welding his bat, so that he win be mas

friendly consideration. All this, OF course,
works for the good OF the entire public.
While 1t IL not corporate philanthropy
the purpose OF no great industrial corpora
ton being to do good without reference
to financial returns-it has the same result.
It 10 an enlightened self interest In the limo
OF policy; but among the individuals con-
oerned. both the representatives OF the
corporation and the members OF the oon-
munity, the most genuine good will 10
mutually manifest.
This work for the Southern Railway,
set on foot ten years ago. soon proved such
q monumental success that similar depart
ments have been instituted by all the great
railroad companies. These departments
have no trade secrets; they feel that what
one does In tho way Of advancing tho In
terests Of It's own section advances tho
interest Of tho entire South. Therefore.
the work Ii mutually encouraged and the
association Of agents has been organized
With conspicuous success. One result has
been the creation Of q new profession In
the vocation Of the railway land and In
dustrial agent. The existing demand for
such services Is said to be greater than
the supply. The young men who enter
the work are enthusiastic over 1t. They
say 1t is an education In itself In the way
In which 1t brings them into contact with
all the varied phases Of American industrial
and agricultural life and the many proc
esses involved, with which they have to
make themselves familiar. Such talent
is sought for and Is we'll reoompensed.
Educated and able young men all these
positions.
The millions upon millions Of dollars
that have been added to the wealth Of the
South by such work are beyond compre-
henson. While the creation Of good rail-
way facilities has been the chief factor
in the phenomenal development Of tho
South In recent years it Is evident that but
for the work Of these land and Industrial
departments the process Of growth would
have been immensely longer than 1t has
been. SYLVESTER BAXTER.
