Patsy Donovan thinks the Dodgers

this season, and thinks Lumley will
lead the league. He expects Jordan
to hit around $40.
II size had a great deal to do with
hitting. Joe Nealon. the first baseman
of the Pirates. would lead the league
with an average of about 543. COM

weighed 220 pounds when he repor-
ted for practise.

experience. Grifft says that spitball
pitchers never have two successful
seasons in a row. Watch big Ed
Walsh this Summer aud see II Griff's
does is good. Walsh was certainly a
wonder last year.
Addie Joss. the long twirler Of the
Cleveland club. says that he has
discovered how the spitball may be
hit successfully. Joss says the bat
ter should should watch the ball
closely and hit the dry side.

Turner's Alley: Characteristic View Of
For the Enlargement Of Capitol Park
squalid alley, such as Is shown in the
accompanying picture, which is fairly
characteristic of the whole section
which it is proposed to clear off and
make into an extension Of the park?
Forty years ago Philadelphia could
have secured a setting for it's city hall
from 10Th street on the west to 18th
street on the east, and from Arch
street on the north to Chestnut street
On the south, for comparatively small
sum of money. Probably $50,OO0,000
could not buy it now.
Seventy-five years ago the whole sec
ton lying between the present capitol
park in Harrisburg and the Susque-
hanna river-which, if cleared OF all
buildings, and it contained the finest
residences and most magnificent
churches in the capitol, could not now
be bought for less than $4,000,000 or
SIS, 900, ,000-was offered to the state au-
thorities for $4,000.
thought the price was more than the
state could afford to pay!
If we neglect the great opportunity
now offered to secure the land on tho
other side Of the capitol, whom 1t can
be bought for a very moderate sum,
we shall commit as great q blunder as
the state authorities did rs years ago.
A bill similar to that which will be
introduced by Senator Fox this week
was introduced in the legislature of
1905, and passed the senate unani-
mously. The lieutenant governor OF
the state. the president pro tenn. OF
the senate, the speaker of the house,
and many of the leading members OF
both houses, at a public meeting, de-
Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1907-01-17

More than 10000 persons, since the
capitol was dedicated in the presence
OF the president of the United States
on October 4 last, have come to Har-
risburg to see it.
1t IS safe to say that not one of these
10000 men and women from all parts
OF the commonwealth failed no note
that the grounds surrounding it are
inadequate for the magnificent capitol
which has cost the people of Pennsyl-
yania about $13,000000.
Whether the capitol has cost too
much and whether the money has been
honestly and provdently expended are
questions that will be determined Off
cially during Governor Stuart's admin
istration. But whatever way those
questions are answered, the fact re-
mains that Pennsylvania has the most
beautiful, the most dignified, the most
magnificent state capitol, externally
and internally, OF any state in the
Union
The people who are acquainted
with the conditions in Harrisburg, un-
dorstand that if the new capitol is
ever to have a proper setting In
grounds commensurate with and
worthy of the building and of the great
commonwealth containing 100000
people to whom this building belongs,
now is the time to secure it.
The territory which it is prosposed
TO take is covered, generally speaking,
with poor, small, cheap buildings. Ii
is estimated to acquire the whole sec.
ton, clear it of buildings, will cost not
more than $1,5O0 GOO; but these condi-
tions will not continue.
The land lies adjacent to the maii
tracks OF the Penn sylyania railroad
and if the state does not take tbc
property it is inevita BILE that in very
short time it will be built up witt.
great warehouses and extensive manu-
factories.
Then the opportunity to secure it will
be gone forever and Pennsylvania
splendid capitol will be absolutely shut
off from view from the east as Phila-
delphia's $25,0O0,O0O city hall is now
hemmed in, shut off and dwarfed by
great buildings.
Millions of passengers pass through
Harrisburg every year on the Pennsyl-
Sania railroad without leaving the cars
to walk about the city II the pro-
posed extension of capitol park is made
they can all get splendid view OF
the magnificent capitol as they pass
through on the train.
