Will Contribute to Country Life.

At recent meeting Of the Pomona
Grange, in Columbia county, resolu-
tion was adopted urging farmers to
build their own telephone lines and
combine to secure complete systems
throughout the various sections of the
county. 1t sets forth that such COM
munication with the towns and mark
cts will be great advantage. Rural
phones and rural postal routes, which
bring the farmer in close touch with
the world, are two recent Innovations
that will contribute very much to the
attractiveness of country life, and will
contribute much toward keeping the
young people on the farm.

TROUBLES OF NICHOLS.
Ex-M Manager of the Cardinals Has a
Few Words to Say.

ST. Louis, Aug 10.-War clouds hover
ed around League park again yester-
day, and this time it was Vice Presi-
dent Stanley Robson and Charley
Nichols, ex-manager of the Cardinals.
Stung by an interview in which Mr..
Robson is said to have announced that
the next manager of the Cardinals
would be man of some brains and
refinement and by the further state
ment that Nichols had managed the
Cardinals like a washerwoman," Mich
OILS yesterday, for the first time, con-
scented to say something about his for
Nichols has always heretofore declined
to talk of what led to his release as
manager of the Cardinals. Yesterday
he finally told some of his side of the
case.
Il have been playing baseball for 10
years." said Nichols, while in the grand
stand at League park, land in that time
have worked with a number of teams,
and under many different manage
ments but this is the first time that
record stands for itself in proving that
1 have always deported myself honest
ly and as a gentleman. I would pay
no attention to what has been said now
did not it come from source of auth
ority.
80 far as the charges made by Mr.
Robson are concerned, the records will
prove that they are untrue Mr. Stan
on the training trip to Texas in 1904,
and consequently he could not have
personal knowledge of training methods.
So far as results were concerned, they
speak for themselves. We came home
and defeated the Browns in the spring
series, and then started the season in
fine style. Afterward the club slumped,
but this was not due to spring train
ing.
'sThis season Mr.. Robson thought
we'll enough of my work in 1904 to be
willing to sign a new contract and tell
me that he considered my work of the
previous season satisfactory in every
way. We went to Marlin to train, but
it rained practically the whole time we
were there. Then we started north,
playing on the way home Again we
struck bad weather. and the team was
in poor condition when we reached
home. Right here I would say that the
schedule of the training trip was not
according to any idea. as it had to be
made up after the other clubs had had
their pick.
Mr. Robson has laid particular stress
on the fact that by losing the final and
deciding game of the preseason series
lost the club $4,000. I will leave it to
the public as to whether I did the right
thing When it came to the final game
of the SERIES 1 did not want to go in.
but as 1 could use neither Taylor nor
Mcfarland, finally decided that it was
best for me to take the responsibility
upon myself. So far as Mr.. Robson
cautioning me the night before the
game to have some one to take my
place in case I was being hit. l will
say that neither myself nor Mr.. Robi-
son knew whether / would pitch the
next day or not.
After warming up I concluded that /
would be able to pitch, even though it
might ruin my arm for good. Up to
the ninth inning everything went well
