Professional baseball players develop
eccentricities more rapidly and more
violently than any other class Of peo-
pie IN the world. possibly excepting
school children.
Mostly they run 10 the game they
play, and their peculiarities center
around that. And almost all OF their
cranks arc about batting. Old Pietro
Gladiator Browning. the lamented,
probably had more of those ideas than
any one. He used systems to keep his
"Iampteenies,' as he called his eyes,
clear-such as smoking cigarettes
washing them out with rain water that
was falling. Every time il rained IN
Louisville in those days the old Glad
iator stood with upturned face and let
the rain wash his eyes out and the

used different ones against different

THE MAKING OF A BASEBALL
TEAM.
BY CHARLES CoMIsKEY,
President of Chicago League Baseball Club

f1icted with the swelled head and failed
10 make good-but those are rare.
The team should be chosen definitely
and finally during the training season
and, thereafter, it should not be
changed except in emergencies and in
cases of injury. The man who knows
that he is slated to play the position
during the entire year viii play better,
as a rule, than one who fears that
some other player is sitting on the
bench anxious to take his job.
Experimenting with a team does not
pay. 4 fair player who has confidence
in himself and who knows that the
manager is with him, will average bet
ter work than the star who is won
der for two weeks and then sits on the
bench for a week or two. The man
who plays 15i games a year. works
hard and does his best in every game
is worth lot more than the star who
plays about 100 games and sets the
crowd wild with his wonderful catches.
Baseball, in that respect. is just like
every other business. The man who is
ready for duty every year is worth
two erratic geniuses who don't show
up ready for work every day.

pitching staff. The rest, if they have
the right sort of stuff in them, viii
deliver all they have in them.
II is up to the manager to select the
men who are in the best shape each
day to do the pitching, In modern
baseball the pitcher is about 60 per
cent Of any game, perhaps more, and
the real test of judgment OF a mana
ger is in his judgment in selecting his
pitchers each day.
To my mind that is one Of the obiec-
tions TO having q field manager for a
team. The manager ought to watch
( with extreme care the work Of each
pitcher i'm warming up before a game,
and, sometimes, the field manager does
not or cannot do this
The ideal way to work pitchers is 20
select the best three from the staff
and work them in rotation, but that
IS only theory and the manager should
watch closely TO see if the man whose
turn it is to pitch is on edge for the
game III his regular turn. Every one
of them, regardless OF facts, viii claim
to be in good shape and it is up TO the
manager TO decide whether OF not he
really is.
The manager must study his men,
their peculiarities. their limitations.
their characteristics, and he must
know them as he knows himself
knowledge OF baseball is really a sec
ondaFy consideration. The study OF
human nature Is the real thing. And
the manager who is a student OF hu-
man nature and who, above all things
can inspire the men To confidence IN
himself, viii return a winner at the

The Farmer and Good Roads.

New Jersey is the most progressive
state in the Union in the construction
and care of its wagon roads, and there
fore the estimate of her road commits
sioner of the saving effected in that
state by good roads may be regarded as
accurate, because he has unusual OPP
portunities for observing the difference
in the utility of an improved and neg
lected road. His estimate is in sub
stance as follows: II cost nine and
one-half cents per bushel to ship wheat
from Chicago to New York, q distance
of 900 miles; it cost three cents bushel
to haul wheat on level road a distance
of five miles, and on sandy road it
would cost nine cents to haul it. The
saving on bushel Of wheat with good
roads for distance Of FIVE miles would
be equivalent to that60O miles of trans
portation by steamer or canal boat, OF
375 miles by railroad. One mile oil
good roads would make saving equal
to rs miles by rail nearer to the mar
kets. 1t is estimated that the cost Of
hauling $500, 900, 900 tons of farm pro-
duce to markets is 80 per ton, or just
about $1,000, 900, 900; it is estimated
that about GO per cent of this last
amount, sr 5000, 100000, would be saved
each year if farmers were able to Dc

A Judge Talks to Boys.

Judge Wofford, of Kansas City, in
recent address to boys, gave advice
which, If needed, would seen revolu-
tionize the country. 1t should be read
to every boy in the United States:
81 have been on the bench fourteen
years and during that time thousands
OF boys have been brought before me,
but not one of them was a constant
attendant at church or Sunday school
or obedient to his father or mother.
81 have inquired of many boys what
caused them to get into trouble and
have found that in most instances,
staying away from school and home,
playing pool, hanging around saloons
and cigarette smoking are responsible.
"Start right, boys. To be anybody,
to accomplish anything for yourself OF
the community you cannot be idle.
Don't drink-liquor destroys the mind
and body. It's low and vulgar. Don't
swear-gentlemen don't swear. Don't
read trashy literature. 1t leads to the
devil. Don't hang around saloons.
Good men are not made that way
Whenever you see man lying around
saloon the devil is after him and will
get him sooner or later. Benjamin
Franklin would never have accom-,
plished anything If he had been guilty
Of these practices. Be honest above
all things. Poor boys make the best
future citizens.
'"To make good man you must bt
agood boy. SO starlight. The grave
yards are filled with those who started
wrong. The world is growing better
The teachings of Christ are beginning
to be felt. Let me impress upon you
the only royal road to success is by
living a right life. Be honest, indus
trious, frugal. 1t is not necessary t
be sanctimonious-to wear a long face
Keep laughing. Have a good time al
you go through life, but let it be the
