Shortstops Make More Errors Than

While Joe Pope made a. good big bunch Of errors last year he was considered the star shortstop of the South for with the 7is chances that he took. she covered a1- most twice the ground that any infieidsr n being the nearest to him. Some scribe up East with . .penchant for statistics digs up the following:
 Often the question sf which is the hard. est position on e ball club arises. It is dis- ipg to the sharpnes of many of the hits to the most difficult on the diamond. How ever, the figures disprove this assertion. shortstop Is the real hard job. At least shortstop makes more errors to the chances offered the third baseman falls down just about ass often. The trou- bie with shortstopping seems to be the great amount of work coming that way, In. thirty leagues only one third baseman and one second baseman made the most efrorn. In all the remainder. the short- stop got away with the most slipups.

 In perusing the fielding averages. 1t is apparent that the shortstop has many more opportunities than the third baseman. Tne first haseman has more chances than tnc short stop, but most of his are thrown balls. which are easy to hsndie; s;a .n th'rS bsses man total more errors than short stop.

Less Than Ten Hours Over Bad Road Benefits of Good Road
 Urged.

Mr. Kew, of San Diego, accompanied by his two sons and E. w Berger, made a record run overland on Sat urday. the running time being nine hours and twenty minutes from San Diego to El Centro.

Doris" was in perfect condition on arrival at El Centro A new grade avoiding the sand wash of Devils canon, and q change of route across the mesa to Coyote Well, they say would reduce the running time to about six hours. There are mountain resorts and camps, accessible by roads from Campo, that should be attrac- tive to Valley settlers in the summer, and the valley should attract coast people in the winter. As business men, the San Diegans are desirous to see the early completion of good road over the mountains.

HOTEL FL CENTRO.

This splendid hotel is now in full operation under the new management and from the manner in which Mir. Black, the manager, is taking hold of things, the place will undoubtedly prove to be the rendezvous for travel ing men. The hotel contains 3S large cool rooms, besides a large veranda on the south and east side, where cots are placed, when desired, making it by far the most comfortable place in the valley to stop during the summer Already many of the guests are oc- cupYing cots on the porch.
 IL is certainly credit to the valley to have such accommodations as the El Centro Hotel offers, and many who expect to remain during the heated term have engaged rooms. The bath rooms have been put in first class condition and baths can be had at any hour
 The new piano and furniture which have been added to the hotel parlor gives it homelike appearance aud the music furnished by the young ladies makes the evenings very pleas ant
