C. H. Speers, the genial and hust-
ling general passenger agent of the
Colorado Midland who arrived in
Glenwod this morning on No. 4 from
Grand Junction, will leave this even
ing for Denver and he will be under
the necessity of getting what repose
he can in a chair car. at least as far
as Leadville where if the fates are
not still unkind to him. he may OBJ
tain berth.
And thereon hangs a tale-a tale
of how Mr. Speers has learned by
experience how popular the Colorado
Midland is on the western slope, es-
pecially No. 6 between Grand juno
tion and Denver.
Mr.. Speers when he arrived here
proceeded to the local office and ask
ed that lower berth be reserved for
him. Mr.. Keck told him IT was doubt
full if he could get a lower but that
he would put him down for an up
per. This naturally did not appeal
particularly to the G. p. A. and he
suggested wiring to the Junction for
reservation of lower there. After he
left ne office Mr.. Keck thinking there
would not be difficulty in getting a
lower reserved at Grand Junction
sold the upper he had reserved
ici piNtoutioh anu itaihVu "
his chagrin that every berth, upper
and lowr, on No. 6 had already been
reserved.
Therefore Mr.. Speers who must
leave for Denver tonight will present
the unusual spectacle of the general
passenger agent unable to secure
ullman accommodations on his own
road. But the unpleasantness of the
experience has its compensation in
knowledge that business is more than
rushing on the Midland and it is not
likely that as result next season
will see another Pullman on No. 6
between the metropolis of the west
ern slope, the greatest pleasure spot
in the Rockies and the most beauti-
full big city in the country.

GAME LOOKS GOOD IN
PITTSBTRG AGAIN.
SPECIAL to The Evening worldl


PITTSBU RIG, Dec. Is. - Under tho
wstchful eye OF Director of Public
Safety Lang. who was sent by Mayor
Guthrie. Frank NadoIs and Jimmy Dunn
fought six very fast rounds before the
National A. c. here last night. Tho
crowd was one OF the largest that ever
saw fight in Pittsburg, and while the
crowd did not understand the fighting
which forced each man to fight himself
free from 4 c!inch. 1t was good
natured gang. that applauded the fast
work. Director Lang apparently made
six-round iightin7 in Pittsburg a fixture
by saying the mill of tonight was in
no way hurtful, and he will likely re-
port the same to the Mayor.
Dunn was the heavier Of the contest
ants. and Madole on several occasions
complained TO Referee Marsh that he
was being hit low in clinChes. There
was an exciting moment when one OF
Nadole's seconds threatened TO brain
Referee Marsh with a bottle because
he refused to allow foul on one OF
the alleged low blows.

players of to-day do not finish the sea-

they did years ago, but that does not
necessarily mean that they are not as
good II not better batters. The players
are UP against harder proposition now
The batter of to-day must contend with
more scientific pitching ss we'll as scien-
tific fielding. The thickly padded glove
has hurt the batter immensely. In the
oldeh days u fielder would not think of
past third base with his bare hands
Even IL he went after it the chances
We're that It would bounce away and ne
could not recover in time to throw the
broken finger. Now the batter has
everything against him, and that makes
the game more even. The pitcher hasn't
got as much advantage as the general
public would suppose. OF course he
knows the good batters and works to
deceive them. but at the same time the
batter knows the shortcomings of all
the pitchers in the business equally well
and he waits until he gets what he
wants. In nine cases out OF ten battle
OF wits like this results in draw. The
fielder makes up the rest OF the comb.
