box. The minute the ball is pitched he will voluntarily pull his forward leg out to side. thereby losing his aim and misjudging the speed or location of the ball This Is very common among pitchers they fear getting hit on the arms This is one of the main reason why pitchers, a rule. are unsuccessful bat ters.
 Still, you will find some of the great hitters of today with a touch of that fault known as pulling" Some of them find it natural way to hit, and man age to keep right up in the hitting per centages
 Pecularities of Good Hitters.
 For instance. Sam Mertes, of the Giants, invariably pulls his left foot back as he swings at the ball. Mertes also erouches with somewhat of a forward lean an keeps his feet wide apart.
 McGraw and Willie Keeler have some- what of a similar pose at the bat. Both stand with their feet together and are able to step either way with either foot the ideal position for batter. Neither of them ever pulls away. Both face the ball and as a rule. meet it squarely.
 Bresnahan and Donlin, two of the greatest hltters in the world are what are called vicious swingers. Bresnahan has absolutely no rear, lie never lnlnkS of being hit. but runs squarely into the ball and when he plants his bat squarely against 1t a scorching line drive follows Nobody hits the ball with more force than Bresnahan.
 Donln stands with his feet about one foot apart and usually holds the bat per- fectly rigid at his waist. slanting at an angle of about 45 degrees. He can either "chop" or swing hard with the same degree of accuracy Donlin Is said to be the greatest natural hitter in the business. He says he has no idea how he does 1t.
 George Stone, one of the most remark able batters of the age. has a Jeffries crouch at bat which has caused experience cd baseball managers to say George wouldn't last as soon as the pitchers got next to him. Stone puts a terrific amount of weight into one of his blows swinging with his shoulders and smashing line with fearful force.
 His position has been termed awkward inelegant and not conductive to good hit ting, but Stone today leads the American league with better average than the great Lajoie.

I. A. FLYNN ON TIE
 DOLLAR COMPROMISE

The last speaker of the evening Monday night, was Thomas A Flynn, candidate for the territoria .onncil, who received an ovati lpon his introduction. Though he hour-was late, 1t was known h, vas to discuss the "Dollar Com ,romise" issue. and the audienc. -nained, seeming determined tt get at the bottom of this matter ir. Flynn is logical, forceful ard .i"qpent speaker, and during his ,tItech every eye in the audienc, vis riveted on him as he reviewed
 sequence, the law of the lab
 ract and fee" question and pre- ,.nted the facts of the litigation anc
 .mpromise in a most remarka blS
 ,ear and convincing manner.
 In detail, he showed how thous- ands of dollars of the peoples money had been diverted into tn, pockets of County Recorder Hibben and quoted Judge Rents and Judg, Sloan's opinions, holding that tht fees belonged to the county. H, challenged Hibben and Supervisor, Poison and Cameron to deny th' facts that he presented, ano throughout his whole speech, Super visor Poison sat silent to the ar raignment of the board's actions for he knew 1t to be true. 1t l. doubtful if any speech delivered in this county has so impressed the voters, as this masterful presenta ton of the infamous "conpromist measure' by the gifted orator from Flagstaff. Many, who had up tc that time. not been sufficiently in- formed on the question, came for ward and assured the democratic candidates that their platform and themselves would be heartily sup portep.
 The people of the west end of the county are warm in their support of Flynn, and they will give him a ronsing majority, as they know that he will be as vigorous in the council for the rights of his con stituents in legislative matters as he is in protesting against and ex- posing this gross abuse of power by public officials.

Voters! Propound These Three
 Questions.

The voters and taxpayers of this county are propounding these three questions to Recorder Hibben, ana the voters and taxpayers are de manding a straightforward reply No 'ifs' and lands" will suffice No t'whereases" or "resolves" will srffice either. These questions mus be answered directly and without any evasion or side-stepping, and the questions are:
 Mr. Hibhen, did the Court not say in the trial of the misdemeanor case that those fees belonged to the county?
 Mir. Hibben, did the Court not say it was your duty to turn those FEES over to the county?
 Mir. Hibhen, HAVE YOU TURNED THOSE FEES OVER TO THE COUNTY?

 The policy of the NEWS will re- main as in the past-an independ- ent newspaper. It will be pub- lished in the interest and for the progress of Williams and Coconino county.
 Mir. Frank l.. Moore will have the entire management of the NEWS. He is competent newspaper man and so we'll and favorab bly, known to the people of Williams as to need m introduction, and the sa me libz pral support is solicited from the patrons of the NEWS as was accorded my predecessor C.

Step Forward, Gentlemen.

The Board of Supervisors took the District Attorney's advice, to the effect that an appropriation from county funds for the Capt. O'Neill monument fund was not legal. and Clerk Hibben saw to it that the minutes contained a refer ence to Ashurst's opinion. That was the law and the people are entitled to know it. Why wasn't the board so eager to accept the District At
 torney's advice that the recorders fees belonged to the county, and why didn't Clerk Hibben take the same pains to publish Ashurst's protest against the compromise? ? That advice was equally as sound as the other Stand up and an

A ladies' choice hunting picnic, consisting of Mrs Matt Ern and husband, Mrs. J. c. Phelan and husband, Mrs. Peter Burns and husband, Mrs. H D. Johnson and MT.

Gilsnn Was number one in amount of -yamr, Mrs Johnson srcond and Nr. Burns thirdx Mrs. Burns Mrs Ern and Mrs Phelan in the ab"ve named order. The culinary department was attended to bv the ladies and was immense, everything being arranged to please the most fastidious and after re- galing themselves of the good things all were in a facetious mood.
 The Williams fire engine, after heinz out of commission for the past five year has al last. by the orders of Mayor Attwo"d. been put in first class -hap pc, aud at recent trial it proved to be one of the hest in the territory. The people of Williams who are in need of fire protection should appreciate the work of Elmer Langin. who has, free of charge, accomplished long felts~ant. We would also like to see the city coun- ci make some arrangement for 8 fire bell as the six shooter alarm is out of the question. az our citizens refuse to turn out at night time on account of some would be tough discharging six shooter.
 Hon. John H. Page, territorial bank examiner, was a business wis: tor in the city Monday. MT. Page left for Flagstaff the same evening. Although John is now 8 resident of the capital city his in- terest in Coconino politics remains the sa me as when he was a resident of the county. and his many friends here regret that he decided to ac- cept the auditorskip, causing him to make his hoDe in Phoenix. However, the torrid climate of the valley seems to agree with him, as he is looking fine and still wears that smile that won't come oI1.
 Consta ble Chas. H. Adams was out hunting last Sunday This is not very important piece of news, but to stop the gentleman from going around and telling his friends what a mighty hunter he is and how all the deer and larger game take to the tall uncut when he shoulders his old fintlock, we will state on good authority that he brought home measly little cottontail. Our informant did not know where he purchased the said cottontail.
 Work on the new six Stall round house will begin on Monday morn- ing and rushed to completion. Con. tractor A. H. Harrell ha wing finished the brick work on the new school house addition. will place the force of brick masons and laborers who were at work there on the round house. We understand it is MT. Harrell's intention to work both day and night shifts, and every thing possible will be done to expe- dite the work The structure will be of reinforced concrete.
 A. A. Carraher, an uncle of Mrs. l H. L. Aphold. and H. L. Aphold went out to A. A. Aliens ranch on Monday for a hunting trip. but ca me back minus the venison. They saw plenty of tracks but no bucks. They did see, though, one of the finest ranges to be seen anywhere. ' MT. Carraher thinks this one of the finest countries in the west. He left for his home at Catalina Island on Thursday.

HAD HOUSING RALLY

l1D I\OOo11N0 Nk1LL1
 The first democratic rally of the season was held at the court house at Flagstaff, on last Saturday night and was a great success. The hall was cYwded with the representa- tive citizens of the town, and quite number of ladies graced the gathering with their presence
 Early in the evening the A. L. < T. Co.,, band marched to the front of the Commercial hotel and rendered a number of selections, and from there they went to the. Neatherford, and thence to tn. corner in front of the court house, where they played by the light of a large bonfire.
 At eight thirty o'clock the meet ing was called to order by Chair man Edgar A. Brown, of the centra l committee, who mentioned the issues of the campaign. stating thai the issue of ''jointure," palled be- fore the local issue which con fronted the people: "honesty in public office" Mir. Brown the, introduced the candidates, all oi whom made short speeches, touch ing on the issues. The speaker of the evening was Henry F. Ashurst, candidate for reelection as district attorney. Mir. Ashurst spoke a good word in favor of the gentle men with whom he is associated on the ticket, and then taking up the local issues, spoke on the condition of things in the county offices, dur ing the present administration, not forgetting to fay Attorney General E 5. Clark for his duplicity. He also read the open letter published in the last issue of the Gem, in telling manner. Mir. Ashurst's speech left profound impression upon the audience, as there could not be the slightest doubt of his sincerity and earnestness.
 Thomas A. Flynn, the candidate for council, then took up the matter of "the dollar compromise" which has become famous to the everlast- ing regret of the republican n ma jority in the board of supervisors, and showed, in a clear and concise manner, how the thousands of dol lars of the peoples monies were compromised away for a paltry dollar, tying the hands of the dis trict judge and attorney, who were on the verge of securing decision as to the proper ownership of the funds collected
 Jesse Boyce and James Kennedy, the two candidates from the west end of the c"unty, made speeches which were enthusiastically re- ceived. There cannot be any doubt of their election. They have many friends in this end of the county.
 Jesse Gregg stated that he felt that if elected that he could be of great service to the people of the county, and that he wanted to be a supervisor for that reason alone.
 At the close of the meeting it was pronounced one of the most suc- cessful ever held by the democrats of the county. and there could not be any doubt of the effect on the voters who were present The arguments were clear. concise and convincing, and as Mir. Ashurst stated in his speech, no man would have dared to make the statements made, had they not been absolutely true and undenia ble.
