Manager Billy Murray of the Phila-
delphia Nationals seems to have found
the secret of how to make youngsters
play star baseball.
Cincinnati baseball fans will feel
pretty kippy if the Reds succeed in
holding down a first division berth dur
ing the season.
The Chicago and Detroit clubs of the
American league are both playing far
better ball than they were a month
ago and doubtless will keep the lead
ers hustling from now on.
"Rube" Wadell says he has been
up against a good many hard propo-
sitions, but when they refuse to per-
NIT you to spend your own money,
why. it certainly beats 'em all.
Few of the younger generation are
doing better work than Johnn aBtes
OF the Boston Nationals. Johnny has
way of slapping the ball out near
the fence for extra bases that makes
the pitcher pull down his cap and take
hitch in his trousers.
Messrs. Jones of Chicago, Jennings
of Detroit, and Griffith of New York
have all gone through the experience
recently of being placed where they
could do no harm for a few days And
it's not very. good year for the sus-
pension of managers either

One of the Days Features.

1t being Decoration Day, the open
ing of the new tunnel became a fea-
ture Of the holiday festivities
The initial train consisted if an ne
CINE, two obs ervation cars and one hot
metal car. The start was made at
80 o'clock with Master Mechanic
Spellacy at the throttle and the two
observation cars, which were the or
binary fiat cars, crowded with spec
tators. The latter embraced the Off
Gals of the company and members of
the office force and as the train pulled
out. cheers rent the air. The cheer
ing continued throughout the journey
which is about one thousand feet long.
Cars Were Decorated.
The engine and cars were all elab-
orately decorated with flags and bunt-
ing and the occasion was one long to
be remembered by those who partici-
pated.
The entire improvements now SO near
completion at the Inland mills, will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000, 600,
it is claimed by those who know. The
tunnel is a big thing for the plant
and will soon pay for itself in the
saving 1t will. effect both in the mat
