Did the baths at Hot Springs weak
en- the Tiger pitchers? Larry Lajoie
says they did, and gives that as the
reason the two veterans who have
worked, Siever and Mullin, did not dis
play the form usual for them in the
spring. Larry gives his explanation OF
the lack of speed and points to the
Cleevland pitchers of last year as an
example. The baths at Hot Springs
weaken one after taking them" de-
clared the Cleveland leader to NJ w.
Bengay of Detroit. For the average
man who does not have to indulge in
athletics the effects wear off in few
weeks, but for the ball player who
must be on edge it takes longer. Es-
pecially is this so of the pitchers.
They don't gain the strength in their
arms they should have until the sea
son is month old Last year the De
troit pitchers were down there, you
say. They were, but they went earlier
and had plenty of games in the south
before coming north to work. That
made a difference. We sent our pitch
ers to Hot Springs last year. Addie
Joss was the only man who didn't go,
and he was the man who was in the
best shape. The baths are probably
good if you have time to recover from
them before starting in to work in
league games. Mullin is usually sent
against us for the early games, and
I've never seen him with less speed.
The Tiger pitchers were at Hot
Springs for about three weeks, and
this year, owing to extremely rainy
weather and delays, they have worked
in very few games. There may not be
anything to Lajoie's argument, but it
Is interesting, nevertheless. 1t is true
that the Nap pitchers who were at the
springs last year did not do as good at
the start of the season as those who
did not have that trip to make. 1--WE
did not send a man to the springs this
year." continued Larry, "and we came
north with our pitching staff in better
shape than | have ever seen it,

they petitioned for another hearing of
the appeal. The Federal lawyers were
not sparing in their caustic flaw pick
ing on the Appellate judges decision on
the appeal
According to the judgment, the pun

been properly based only on the settle

$4,000.
In answer to the governments objec-

escaping punishment, the court adds to
the opinion as follows:
True it is that if one corporation
uses another corporation to violate law.
just as if one individual uses another
to violate the law, such offender ought
not though masked, to go unpublished

Beard in Charge OF Foreign Fields
Outlines Work for Coming Year.
The general committee on foreign mis-
sions of the Methodist Episcopal church

OF itemizing the appropriations for the
year 1909, after voting to appropriate
total of $1,06057S. A spirited debate
took place over the first item on the
appropriation-tha of general expenses.
Because of the late financial stringency
1t was urged that the amount allotted
Tor publicity purposes in America be re-
duced, and in spite of some opposition
this suggestion was adopted. The amount
allowed for this purpose next year vas
fixed at 1000, a reduction of $4,000
from the appropriation last year. For the
general expenses in the foreign mission
held, including the support of missionary
bishops, emergencies, ETC., total of S111,
go was appropriated, leaving $107, $50
for general expenses in America. This
latter amount includes the appropriation
for publicity, the salaries of officers of the
board of foreign missions, interest on the
debt and other operating expenses. For
the support of actual missionary work for
the ensuing year $S35,77S remains, prac-
tlcally the same as last year.

Election results and the advent of more
seasonable weather in some sections of
the country were helpful to trade this
week, and except in parts of the South,
where the holding of cotton interfered,
collections also have shown improvement.
In wholesale and manufacturing lines the
tone of business shows most marked inn
provement. Orders which were condition
ed on election results have been confirmed.
and many new ones placed, the net result
being an enlargement of the volume of
business at first hands over recently pre-
ceding weeks.
Many industrial concerns have announc-
