AWAIT PAN-AMERlCAN ROAD.
Route When Open Will BE Like Rail-
roading In Romance.

Route When Open VIII BE Like Rail-
rOading In Romance.
OF the 10,391 miles of the proposed
pan-American railway route lying be-
tween New York and Argentina 5,7O9
miles are covered by roads in opera
ton and over 7O3 miles the work of con-
struction Is proceeding. Links for fu-
ture building measure just under 1000
miles. BY the end Of 1907 passenger
may ride from New York to Guatemala
City, though not without change of
cars. The dream that goes farther is
that Of Pullman cars running from
Boston or New York through to Buenos
Ayres That time of full realization
is sure to come to the pan-American
congress in session at Rio Janeiro has
given its renewed expression Of be-
lief.
The dream Of the pan-American rail-
way has already been long one. Hin
ton Rowan Helper wrote his book about
1t in 1881. 1t gathered form out Of
Secretary Blaine's pan-American con-
gress in 1889.
In all the world there Is no scheme
of construction so daring or attractive
in more ways than this Of railroad
trunk line to connect all the Americas.
The great "Cape to Cairo" plan, in fur
therance of which the late Alfred Belt
bequeathed millions, contemplates Il
line about half as long.
Once the route Is open, that which
will follow will be like railroading in
romance. From an elevation Of only
fifty feet above the sea, as in Panama,
the road will rise to such heights as
12,5OO feet in Ecuador or 14,0O0 in the
Cordilleras. The train will climb
mountains, pierce jungles, cross spider
webby spans high in air, be lighted by
volcanic flashes at night and catch the
glimmer from snow-topped peaks by
day.-New York World.

VALUE OF TAKING NOTES.

A friend of mine who has just come back

military mission, tells me that over there the
notebook habit is common. The little, shrewd
japanese, while in conversation with you, has
a frequent knack of jotting down-a statement
you may make on q tablet he carries with
him. My friend described it as an embarrass
ing habit at first to one unaccustomed to It,

NEW ATHLETIC ERA pAwNlNe IN
 IN WEST.
Day of Specializing, Especially on the Pacific Coast, Is Doomed to Go.

A new era is to dawn for clean and general amateuT athletics throughout the middle ard far west. The day of specializing one branch to the detrl- ment of the general scheme of all round athletics iS fast waning, and the Pacific district is destined, once the movement is really going well. to wreSt from the East the athletic hon ors 80 long held in this section.
 In brief, this is the belief of Joseph B. Maccabe. of Boston, president Of the A. A. U.. after a journey of over 10000 miles, made in the interests Of the governin- hody, from waich he has just returned. Also. as 9 result of his investigations. . new association was formed. the Rocky Mountain, an iul- petus given to the formation of MuCic.- pal Athletic associations. and difficult ties such as thaJ caused uy the fight ing clubs which are iE control in the Pacific A.

 Over the possibilities for expansion Nr. Maccabe is enthusiastic aS regards the section under the jurisdiction Os the P. A. A. and was emphatic in stating that once the CluES there go. working in the broad field the prestige of the East was in c1-Eer. He vas impressed with the great opportunity, stating that the athletes h1d advant- ages elUllled nowhere else.
 He instanced many cases, partic- ularly those Of Parsons and Dan Kelly. as showing what could be done with individuals, and used the gTelt mea. on July 1, when ever 100000 people gathered in and about tte Golden Glte Park to witness what he ctiTacteriZed as one 0: the hest handled and mos complete athletic meets he had ever seen. gs a fair sample Of what o. ganiEati0R effort could dc.

Comiskey Tells HoqO First Baseman M Particaiar Should CoVer His Posi- aon---" "PLay Very Deep" '" Play Close to tie Foul Line.
By CHARLES A. corfIsKEY.

President of the Chicago Americans.
 The, ouIy players who become sue fcssful intielders are those with a nat ural aptitude for baseball.
 A good mechanical player who can hold a position in the outfield. but when he comes in to the diamond he must be quick thinker. q fast fielder and natural player as well.
 I wonder how many baseball fans have thought of the build of these infelders and the part that plays ip determining a mans qualification for q certain position.
 For instance. the first baseman must be tall. rangy fellow who can cover ground. but more especially one who has a reach to catch throws q tciae wild.
 Then again height and reach are valuable in stepping forward to meet thrown balls. Many a first baseman who understands his position robs bats men of hits merely by stretching out and meeting the ball.
 In the course of a season this one or two feet advantage will mean q score or more less base hits. Now the sec ond baseman and shortstop. on the other hand. the latter especially, should be short. chunky men. something of the dachshund order. for they have to gather the ball in from al positions while on the run. so the lower they are to the ground the better.
 Most of the great third basemen are small men or men of medium height. but it Is not so essential there.
 In playing the bags many managers have different ideas. but I have my

 am a great believer in playing deep and depending on the pitcher to cover the bag in many instances. always played my position ten or fifteen feet deeper than the other first basemen, and the pitchers had to get over to cover the bag.
 They could not be sluggish and try to show me up. If I saw the pitcher was loafing on me I felded the ball and then threw to first whether any one was there or not. Then the crowd saw who was to blame. and pretty soon the pitchers got in the habit of running over pretty rapidly rather than be roasted. - .E
 But generally a basenian has TO trouble. for when a pitc, CT sees his first baseman cutting off Ii. s into right field he is glad to do his part.
 Often have worked plays where the second basemen ran over to receive my put out At the same time 1 all ways played the foul line safe, for 8 hit along the foul lines is the most damaging of any. It is nearly always good for two bases and often for three. for the fielders are away off and have a long run to field the ball. The same principle holds good at third. As a general rule would say the first base man should field the ball and leave the pitcher to cover the base.

by the stewards of the Jockey club, was well received. He has few equals In the saddle when at his best, and the lesson he got last year Is likely to bear fruit. He has been retained by Harry Payne Whitney, and this means that he will have plenty of good mounts and will therefore be able to win back the confidence of race goers the quicker. Hildebrand will not have the easy time he had in 1904, however, when he headed the list of winning jockeys, as better boys will be riding and he will have more competition. There are at least six or eight jockeys this year who are in no sense behind him in the mat ter of skill. Then there are ten or twelve others who are likely at any time to jump into the imelight or hold their own with the best.
 Jockeys are most uncertain, it is true, and those from whom much is expected oftentimes fail utterly. but there are so many this year of whom much is promised that q number could fail and there would still be enough to so around.
 The best boys last SeusOn, judged by their positions iu the winning jockey list at the end of the eastern racing season. were Miller. O'Neil. W. Knapp, Tommy Burns, J. Martin. Lyme, Hide brand, Shaw and W. Davis. These jockeys are all in the saddle again this year, and they are experienced enough to more than hold their own under any and all circumstances.
 O'Neil, who was in the lead up to the time he stopped riding has again sign ed to ride for Newton Bennington. w. Knapp. another boy who came into prominence last year. is almost sure to hold his own with added expert ence He is riding for E. R. Bradley and should have no trouble in getting all the outside mounts he wants. Tom my Burns, the old reliable, is riding free lance. but will not lack for mounts, while J. Martin is riding for Captain Harry Brown. Shaw for H. E. Duryea. and W. Davis for August Bel mont Lyme may follow the example of Burns and ride free lance, but he will have no trouble in getting q re- taining fee if he so desires. as he ranks with the best.
 As clever jockeys as these boys are, it is not improbable that some newcom- CT may force his way to the front be- fore the season is half over. Great
