Mike Donlin is New York's individ

Pitcher Crandall of the Giants. is
a hard hitter. and has thought of be-

Though catcher Bowerman's hair
is turning gray he is as full of ginger
still as any youngster.
In one year Camnirz, of the Pirates.
has develoned into one of the best
pitchers in the business.
Infelder Sbaefer. OF the Detroits,

Pitcher Raymonds s sptball is said
to make almost as much trouble for
the catcher as for opposing batters.
Pitcher Leifeld. of Pittsburg, does
not share the prevailing superstition
against striking out the first bats
mar.
Frank Bowerman says that no club
would want a better pair of catchers
than Cincinnati has in Schlei and Nc
Lean.
Manager Cantillion has emulated
Laioies example, and has tabooed
poker-playing among the Washing

The National League boasts of two
genuine Bohemians, both first base
men -- Kenetchv. of st. Louis, and
Swacina, of Pittsburg.
Baseball men claim there is scare
ity of catchers now. Fewer good
backstops are being developed and
more pitchers than guardians of any
other position. This no doubt be-
cause the boy, when he starts to play
soon finds out that catching is not an
easy job.

HOW THE PRESIDENT WORKS

No matter how students of politics and critics of Presidents may dis agree as to the statesmanship of The odore Roosevelt, none can deny that as machine capable of doing a large amount of work he has few equals. How does he accomplish so much ?'' is a question frequently asked. Gen. jus for work-in other words. the faculty for applying each pound of steam where it will tell-accounts for Mir. Roosevelt's ability to do a great deal more work than the average man is capable of, but back of his ability to work is his ability and determina- ton to take care of the physical part of him, and maintain the. highest point of efficiency. The President never "loafs. {" but never forgets to plan a certain amount of hard working leisure. He rests his brain and nerves by work ing out" his muscles There Is no waste of time because he returns to brain work under a full head of steam.
 Thousands of business and profess sional men, who do much less than half of the work done by President Roosevelt, haven't time" for eyer- else and recreation. They do not ac- eomplish as much because they ignore the importance of keeping in condi- tion to work, and for the same reason their work is often drudgery.
 President Roosevelt does not make the common American mistake of thinking that steam heat is a health pTeserver and that cold air and damn air kill.
 Physically President Roosevelt is to a certain extent, self-made. Ua can do more work than many a n who started in life with more rugged health, but who wasted his vital forces by pursuing a policy of all work and no play. Barring accidents, he will he in working condition for much lonp- CT period than the man who stiru- lates himself from his stomach instead of through the exercising of his legs and filling his lungs with the air Inf out-of-doors, a tonic that is health giving in rain or shine and regardless Of temperature.-Louisville Courier.

In sending the mes sage he signed operator in charge of the tower all alone" There was some trouble on the wire and the last word could not be understood.
