Pitcher Should Bat

Considerable discussion has arisen In
eastern baseball circles regarding a
proposition to substitute a batter for
the pitcher, who Is generally the poor
est stcker on the team, but the idea
will hardly meet with approval from
those who are true to sportsmanlike
instincts, as a man entered for a con-
itest should, unless incapacitated, re-
main in the game throughout. Batting
and pitching are but two of the prin-
cipals of baseball and pitcher has as
much right to be a fair hitter as crack
fielder has to be a fast base runner.

Masterson Is Ready

The feature of the card for today is
the fourth race at one and one-quarter
miles. Six starters are named to go to
the post and the weight arrangement
makes 1t decidedly difficult to select
a winner.
Masterson ran such a great race be-
hind Cutter a few days ago when the
Wittenberg filly stepped a mile in 1891
that he holds slight edge on the
others.

Is Nervousness a Detriment?

A question which has excited much
comment is whether nervousness be-
fore II physical contest is sign OF
weakness, and many arguments have
been advanced pro and con. Some of
the most fearless performers on the
football field, the diamond and the ring
have often exhibited signs of nervous
ness before the event in which they
were to participate occurred. Their ac-
tions after once meeting the opponents
completely demolished any assertion of
fear and in many instances the nervous
man has achieved the greatest success.
Arthur Duffy, the worlds champion in
the 10O-yard dash, admitted that he
feared the moments preceding the pistol
shot which sent him away on the track.
Once from the mark, however, no one
was ever able to attain the speed of
the Georgetown sprinter. James J. Cor
bett in the ralnly days of his career
more than once exhibited signs of ner-
Vousness which disappeared complete
ly when he entered the ring. Those
who have made a study of the peculiar
ity claim that it is due to certain physi-
cal conditions which always hover over
some athletes.

Cans May Succeed WaIcott

Since Joe Cans so decisively defeated
Mike Twin" Sullivan, sporting men are
touting the black man as a worthy
successor of Joe Walcott, the Baradoes
wonder, when that worthy was at the
heighth of mis- career. The fact that
Sullivan exhibited wonderful stamina
in wthstanding the attacks of the ne
gro, add to the claims which are now
being made for the supposed black
wonder.
Upton Is Persistent
The good Sir Thomas Upton who
gained more popularity OH this side of
the Atlantic than any of the English
sportsmen has not yet given up hopes
Of attaining what is apparently his
greatest ambition, the capture of the
| American cup. 1t has not been definite
| ly decided whether the Englishman is
| to come across during the coming sum-
ner, but should he do so a genuine
Yankee welcome will be extended to the
lilucky Briton who has never uttered a
word of complaint regarding his treat
ment upon American shores.
Bad for the Football Coach
The sweeping decisions of the big
| Nine" representatives regarding foot
ball. embody the retirement of profess
sonal coaches from the game. What
is to become of the famous Fielding
Yost and the other college coaches who
but a few months ago were reaping
big revenues from the college game
So secure did the positions Of the sue
cessful coach appear that in all prob
ability little thought of the future pre-
scented itself TO their very busy minds
which buzzed with plans and schemes
| involving gridiron achievement. To all
intent the sport has been killed in the
middle west and it's demise carries with
it the discontinue of athletic instruc-
tors who not long since We're classed
with the most important men of the

Great Indian Athlete
Frank Mount Pleasant, the famous
| quarterback of the Carlisle Indian foot
ball team, is regarded by many as the
most remarkable athlete in the United
| States. He became interested in atll-
letics but a few years ago and in a
very short time without much profess
sional coaching developed into a Won
der. Aside from being one of the great
est quarterbacks he has shown marked
ability on the track. He has done the
1O0-yard dash in 8 AS seconds and in
the opinion of experts will equal the
worlds record of 9 3-5 with little more

Reap The Benefit Of a Five Per Cent.
Advance in Their Pay.

Boston, July 30.-Forty thousand
cotton mill operatives in Northern New
England are affected by an increase of
five per cent. in wages which went in
to effect today. These operatives are
employed in mills in Lowell, Mass.
Manchester, Dover and Nashua, n H.,
and in Waterville, Lewiston and Bid
deford Me.
In none of these places except Lowell
has there been a question at any time
about the acceptance of the raise, the
operatives welcoming the increase as
voluntary by the several mill manage
ments.
At Lowell. on the contrary, the offer
of an increase averaging five per cent
was preceded by a demand or request
from the operatives for an advance of
10 per cent. The offer of the Lowell
manufacturers has not yet been for
mally accepted by the Lowell Textile
Council, which presented the demand
the claim being that the five per cent
offer was surrounded with conditions
too vague to be understood.
