heavy bats, and they took care of them
too. Mike Kelly was another stickler
for good bats, and carried one around
with him for two seasons. It was In
1889. when Kelly was the star catcher
of the Boston team, that he lost his
pet bat.
He had been pounding the ball all
the season with great results. and he
priced the bat so highly that he had
his name painted on it. so that he
could not lose It. Kelly finally went to
Chicago to play an important series.
and took his prize bat out to the
grounds. The Chicago players had
heard of the famous stick. and wanted
to see it. But Kelly waved them of.
The game was close. and in the ninth
inning the score was tied. with Kelly
at the bat and two men out. Mark
Baldwin was in the box for Chicago.
and Captain Arson told him to put
them right over the plate. Kelly final
ly singled out a beautiful straight ball
and sent it clean over the center field
er's head. The Chicago players were
bound to get the bat, and. expecting
Kelly to throw it to the ground before
he started for first base, they made a
concerted rush for the plate to get it.
But Kelly did not lose his head. He
tucked the bat under his arm. raced
around the bases for clean home run,
and then, as he put it back in the bag,
he cried out to Arson:
NO chance to get the stick. Pop!
Kelly's too smart!"
Arson insisted there had been no
plot to capture the bat. but his men
said Kelly's presence of mind made
the "old man" as angry as halter.
for Arson was batting weakly and
wanted new stick.

bats. After trying them all out he Sc
lected stick which was one of the
longest and heaviest In use an any ball
field. With this mighty weapon Larry
was able to reach the wide out curves
and also bang the straight fast ones
to all quarters of the field, much to the
chagrin Of the pitchers who tried in
vain to fool him. But Lajoie thought
SO much Of this bat that he did not
put 1t in the regular bat bag along
with the other sticks used by the
Cleveland Americans. Instead. he car
ried it in q neat leather case which
he put under his pillow at night while
on the road.
Its the best bat ever used" said
the big fellow one day last summer.
"and would not part with 1t for $500"
Bradley, a teammate, picked up the bat
during a game in Boston, and was so
pleased with it that he asked Lajorie il
he could use it. At first Lajorie object
ed strenuously, but as Bradley begged
hard he finally consented, SO that both
men used the bat together the rest Of
the season, Bradley pricing it as much
as the champion slueger.
Lave Cross is never satisfied with
his bats. He generally has fifty of them

Tugs around with him all the season.
But he is always ready to swap bats
with player in the business. Hans
Wagner, the best hitter in the National
league, says all he wants is bat
thirty-five inches long and the right
weight.
He also says that some players have
to have one bat for slow pitchers. an
other for the speed merchants. and a
third for bunting, but one that will suit
all purposes as far as he is concerned.

with twenty-five bats when the season
begins, but he says he gives most Of
them away to other players. When he
gets a good ash he will not allow an
other player to take 1t in his hands,
because it might change the luck.

HITTERS PRIZE BATS.
VIII Not Part With Their Favorite
Wagon Tongue.

y p y y W y y y e v " " v
What becomes of all the bats that
are purchased each spring by the big
baseball clubs? This question fire.
quently has been asked of managers,
players and officers, yet nobody has
been able to answer it, says the St.
Louis Post Dispatch.
The New York Americans, for in
stance, bought nearly 200 bats last
season, and when the campaign wound
up there were not more than a dozen
left. Some were broken. others were
either lost or stolen. while the rest
were thrown away. TO be picked up by
the small boy.
Ball players are cranks on the sub
ject of fine bats. They viii spend hours
handling the new crop OF wagon
tongues which are put on the market
each spring Some of them want long
heavy sticks, while others insist upon
short, light ones. with happy medi-
UNI for many. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to see star ball player have
two dozen bats at the opening OF a
championship season.
But it does not take long for him to
weed out the poor willows and settle
down to few good ones. Then super
stition begins to cut something OF
figure and If a player makes home
run or a timely single which wins a
game with certain bat he believes he
cannot get along without it.
Then it Is that he will prize the bat
so highly that he is not willing to let
it out Of his sight. He will scrape it
with a bit of glass now and then, after
which he will oil it and put it away
in some hiding place so there can be
no chance of losing it. Should some
rival see fit to steal the bat or pur-
posely mistake it there is always war.

PASTOR APPROVES WINE
Facing Conditions as They Exist,
He Saws.

Fitchburg, Mass, Jan. 3.-The Rev.
Alexis w. Stein, rector of Christ Epis-
copal church, had no idea when he
made public his views on the license
question, through a letter published in
a local paper a day or two preceding
election, that anything approaching a
sensation would be caused thereby.
The rector believes in facing condi-
lions as they exist. This prompted
him to give expression to the views he
e~ntertains IN the subject of saloons
and drinking.
The communication which was the
means of bringing to the rector the
public notice he does not crave was
written at the request of those who
were Interested in obtaining a mo-
vote election. In substance it was:

COAL IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Rich Vein at a Depth of 1900 Feet Neal
Miller.

Miller, S D., Jan "a vein of coal
eight feet thick and equal in quality to
the best Hooking Valley soft coal was
discovered about twenty-five miles
northwest of here by William Deuel.
while boring In arteSian well on the
Martin Moore anc 1t is 1900 feet
below the surface of the ground in
Gladstone and below the first flow Of
artesian water. The seeming impos-
sibility of working a coal mine thus
situated caused contempt and disgust
rather thar a celebration of joy over
the discovery, but it is believed by
many that the time will come when
by some method the coal will be raised
to the top of the ground and used.
The extent Of the vein is not known,
but 1t is believed TO underlie a large
area.
In the early sos a vein of coal was
discovered about twenty miles farther
northwest that furnished fuel for he
pioneers of that neighborhood for some
time. That vein was near the surface
and was a poorer quality of coal than
the vein discovered by Deuel. SO deep
down in the earth. The gentleman
states that of the scores of artesian
wells he has sunk there has been no
coal found in any of them to speak of
except this one, although more or less,
gas escapes from all of them. The
Hyde county well that is reported to
be quite heavily charged with gas
is only a few miles west of the Moore
well where the thick vein of coal is,
and the theory is advanced that the
coal underlies hat whole section,
hough under the artesian flow.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
State Supreme Court Rules That Taxes
Must Be Paid on Credits.


VermilIion, S. D., Jan. 3.-One of the
most important decisions of the SUI
preme court in recent years was handed
down last Saturday. 1T relates to the
taxation Of money and credits, and the
higher authority revarses the decision
Of Judge Smith to the effect that the
board of county commissioners had no
right to assess certain moneys and
credits owned by residents of Clay
county. The decision Will mean that
the city Of VermilliOn alone will Sc
cure about $1,100 for taxes Of 1904 that
otherwise would not have been in sight.
The decision of the supreme court has
more than a local significance. 1t will
affect nearly every town, city and Oun
ty in the state. DurinG the year 1904
there was u general movement to as
Scss mortgages and Moneys, but the
proposition met with u stubborn resist
ance. AS a test case Ct. II. Salmer, a
wealthy citizen of NermilliOn, went into
court with his trouble. He was repre-
scented by Dean Thomas Sterling. of
the state university law department,
and the county board employed Attor-
ney II. G.. Triton, of this city, and AttOr-
ney G.. H. Dillon, of YanktOn, for cOun-
sci. Arguments We're heard before
Judge Z. G.. Smith in this city during
a term of circuit court.
The contention of counsel for Mr.. Sal
nv CO Atit+ NNi'NiN AN Wv -
was unconstitutional for the board to
make any assessment of this nature,
since no return had been made by the
various township assessors. The
boards attorney argued that if the
present law was unconStitutiOnal then
the old law was in force, II if the old
law could not be used, then the court
was in a position to 10 the assessing
himself Judge Smith held that the
board was in error, whereupon the COM
missioners appealed to the supreme
court.
Many of the citizens who will be
obliged to pay taxes on mortgages for
the year 1904. however. will not be
caught mapping again. There has been
u general assignment of mortgages
since the question arose. and when time
for the next assessment comes it will
be discovered that most of the mort
cages are owned by Iowa and Nebras-
IA people.
