PARK|TES AFTER
STRONG LINEUP
New Pitcher Coming From the
Coast, Who, 1t Is Said, Can
Go Some.
Especial to The Herald.)

Park City, June 30.-The recent shak-
ing up given the local ball team seems
already to have produced results The
released players have gone to other
fields and the new men are beginning TO
report. Yesterday Drew, a pitcher.
turned up and joined the new forma-
ton. A second baseman will be here to-,
day, and shortly other consignments Of
players will be here before the Fourth
game.
Park will be in Salt Lake City to-
morrow to play with & somewhat diff
ferent team from what it has contested
on other dates i'm the league 1t is prob
able that there will be a few of the
old players on the line up, but only
those who got hits and whose percent
age on the error column was small
Clark will be seen at first, Kent at
third, and probably Ryan and Spillman
will play. The balance of the team will
be new.
Just why the effort of Park City 80
strengthen her team should have ocea-
stoned any complaint among the fans of
the state can't be understood here. Park
City has always boosted for baseball
and at no time has there been a season
when the town was not represented By
a team which compared fayorably with
others of the state. This year unfor-
tunate circumstances went long way
toward the present situations and the
bold action of the new management i'm
releasing the entire team, so as TO clear
out the hobo ball playing element is
applauded here and would be In the
other cities of the Utah state leagu9
If the conditions were thoroughly un-
der stood.
Another thing which went long way
to keep the team back was the lack of
sufficient pitching timber. This is now
being Temedied. Drew is here, and in
day or so a man from the coast league
will be in town. OF course. this will
cost little money. but the fans of town
have subscribed to fund which guar
antees the payment of a good salary
to the man for the next three months.

M'CLOSKEYS PHEN0M.
"Honest John" Tells How Pickering
Discovered Himself.

1t is q cold day when John j. Nc
Closkey cannot unreel a. good baseball
story. Here is one of his latest: The
veteran manager says he never will
forget the debut of o. D. Pickering,
the Olney phenom. Along in 80 Pick
wrote down from the Illinois farm to
John at Houston, Texas, saying he was
ball player. The manager dropped
Pick a postal card telling him to come
on at his own expense, thinking that
would settle him.
Instead of being bluffed, the Demon
Pick went south at the expense OF the
railroads. He rugged his way on freight
trains from Olney, ILL.,. to Houston via.
San Antonio, something like 1,60O miles.
There is no record TO show that Pick
has ever been an electrician. but when
he reached Houston his shoes were
wire to his feet. Hhe busted athlete

In these degenerate days the manager
pays big rolls of yellow-backs FOR an

swat in seven times up the manager
thinks he's landed a wonder.

Jack Clifford has broken into the
fight game again. Recently he an
nounced that he would never don a
glove again, and that he would re-
tire from the fighting game to enter
the hotel business. Word has just been
received that he has accepted the terms
offered by the manager OF the Yose-
mite club of Sacramento for a twenty

Milford thinks he is as good as he
ever was and declares that he will
allow I.anders- to take all the condi-
tons simply to get him into the ring,
his only stipulation being that Eddie
smith shall referee the contest.

Danny Maher, the American jockey,
is just now the sensation Of the turf
In England. His victories In the Derby
and Oaks, few weeks ago, at the
famous EPSON Downes course is some
thing that any rider might well feel
proud Of; but Maher remains the same
modest lad, and has never forgotten
his eld-t.me friends and acquaintance
In this country. Meher Is the son of q
Hartford (Conn.) saloon keeper and Is
twenty-six years of age. He has been
riding about ten years, and spent about
half that number of years abroad. He
has won the English derby three times,
and also came In first in the Grand Prix
of Paris, one of the richest events OF
the French turf.
One of Makers boyhood friends is
Jockey Frank Duffy of Cincinnati. Duff
fy has known Maher since the first
day he ever stepped foot on race
track, and was very chummy with the
little Yankee during his early days on
the turf.
Is perfect Gentleman"
- most perfect gentleman is Danny
Maher." remarked Duffy recently. He
started in life as a poor boy, but is
now worth about 100000. He helped
his mother along when quite youlg and
always saved the greater part of his
earnings. His first notable victory as
/ recall, was on Arthur Whites Gel
sha, at Saratoga In 1897. when he beat
Willie Simms on Mike Dryers Hand
press. The next day he beat Willie
Martin, Haher riding Prince Auckland
and Martin Green Jacket. That day
he put it on Martin twice in the same
manner. This made the turtles sit
up and take notice and Martin was
busy explaining how 1t all happened.
He left for Brooklyn shortly after and
won q cean-cut victory with Minstrel
over field OF fast horses. In 1893 he
rode in the Suburban. His mount was
Semper Ego and the horse was the
longest shot in the race. Maher was
left at the post. but took after his field
and finished a close second. The same
year. I'm the Futurity, in a field OF
twenty-three, he finished second on
High Degree.

danny told me the happiest day of
his life was when he won three races
at Morris Park. in 1898, the same after

MARKING TRuNks.
ODD Devices Used By Which to Easily
Identity Baggage.

odd Devices Used BY Which to Easily
Identify Baggage.
A curious fashion of marking trunks
by some individual and odd device has
come into practice. 1t Is a trick that
helps to Identify ones baggage instant
", eve at a distance, In a crowded
railway station, and thus facilitates
travel, especially abroad, where 80
much red tape entangles baggage
transportation.
Some of the devices used are queer,
to say the least. A lover Of dogs had
big brindle's heads In brown and white
painted at intervals on all her trunks
and suit cases before sailing for Ger
many. She felt sure, she said, that
she would be able to identify her bag
gage anywhere by these signs.
Another curious design is that Of
skull and crossbones, done In black,
white and red, on top, sides and ends
Of trunk and on the bottom Of every
bag Of one traveller.
Dumbbell designs In red, white and
blue Identity another lot Of baggage.
One society woman has her trunks
all marked with a design Of a pair Of
gloves, painted red, black and gold,
and appearing as II just taken of the
hand and %carelessly tossed In the
trunk.
Family crests In gold and colors are
used, and college girls going abroad
have curious Chinese dragons, birds.
etc., done In oriental color combina-
lions on their baggage. - New York

oratory In tho Commons.

One Of the London weeklies laments
the decay Of oratory in the house Of
commons. An observer has classified
the styles of parliamentary speaking
thus: "Haw haw" style. the "hum and
haw" style and the "he haw" style.
The first, he says, is used by the
naughty gentlemen who loll in triumph
on the treasury bench, the second dis
tinguishes the utterances Of the keen
and watchful gentlemen on the front

fairly describes the effort Of the pri-

4 PLANET OF GREAT PEAKS.
Peculiarly OF the Ring Mountain
Of the moor.

Peculiarly Of the Rins Mountains
Of the Moon.
The moon is really and truly a great
planet Of mountains, its whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations
Of curious shapes and Of extraordinary
height We say Its whole visible sui
face" and hasten to explain that we
make this statement simply because
the eye Of nan has never seen but n
side Of the surface Of the moon. What
We zee %convinces us that the little
planet Is extremely mountainous. for
on the lend" exposed to our view
there are no less than 10000 peaks,
varying in height from 1000 feet to
four miles. When we consider the fact
that this lunarian world Is only n
thirty-second part az large AZ the
earth we can easily see why 1t de-
serves the title Of the 'planet Of great
mountains" There Is a peculiar thing
about these 10000 moon peaks. Each
and every one of them has q ringlike
form. the open end Of the 'conical point
being Of greater or lesser diameter. &C.
cording to the height Of the mountain.
In q low grade telescope these peaks
resemble true volcanoes, but when
viewed through a high grade glass it is
seen that the depression In the center
Of the queer ring mountain. Is often
70 great as to be below the general
level Of the surrounding country. The
depth of these depressions Is calcu-
lated In a curious manner, by figuring
on the relative shadows they cast
when the sun is shining full upon
them. The diameter Of these ring
mountains" varies greatly, some Of. the
larger ones being 80. 100 or even $50
miles, while the smaller look like post
holes when Viewed through a good TEL
oacoDe.
