\ News representative called on
Commissioner Wheeler yesterday and
asked him If he would make state
ment as to some of the policies he
would advocate during his term OF
office. Mr.. Wheeler made the fol-
lowing statement:
4 am in favor of good roads
throughout the county. and will do
all in my power TO see that the road
from Ely TO Hamilton is greatly I'M
proved and also shortened. This can
be done and by so doing there will

is an immense amount of teaming out
of Hamilton each year, and if it came
TO Ely. it would mean the expendi-
ture of big money in this district.
The other members of the board
in their interviews with the News,
have stated that they favor an official
county map, covering the entire as
sessable property of the county and
that which may become assessable.

the quicker the county can get IL,
the better il will suit me.

the story appeared in a Salt Lake
paper in advance of its publication
in the Examiner, which copied the
article. To all miners and mining
men the articles printed was on its
face erroneous. So much so that de-
NAL of the story is not worth while,
amounting 10 nothing more than
waste of paper, ink and space. As
long as the figures of our monthly
copper production are going out reg
ularly, and making splendid showing
in the bargain, and publicity is being
given TO the fact of our steadily in
creasing pay roll, now totaling above
100000 per month. what is the use
of denying stories which If true
would make production and pay rolls
both impossible? Print the pay roll
and production figures for the MAX
ing of increased interest in the camp
on the outside and for attraction of
new people and new money to us.
Let denials slide. We are too big TO
have use or need for them.

WINTER BASE BALL
BAME OF MAGNATES
Is winter base ball good thing for big

Is winter base ball a good thing for big
league players?
Ask any member of the profession and
he will no doubt insist that it doesn't
work any injury to them.
Ask any club owner, and he will. with
out the slightest hesitation, say that
winter base ball is bad for a player.
The player figures that he has a right
to do what he pleases during the winter
and that if he cares to play ball he has
just as much right to do that as so
to work at any other thing.
While the club owner doesn't deny this
right, still he thinks the average ball
ing the summer. and that he should rest
up during the winter. or take up some
other kind Of work to get his mind off
base ball.
While many players insist that playing
ball is the only way they have of making
money during the winter, still it's cues
ton if it is good policy on their part.
The pay or salary OF a player al any
of the winter resorts, or on barnstorm-
ing trips is sure to be very light. As a
rule if the players pick up SO a game
they figure they are making good money.
They also play in weather that would
almost cause riot if they were asked
10 Work ufiuef siIiiEdI coHdiIlOHS during
the regular season. Generally the best
they ever get out of winter base ball is
living. Often they spend more than
they make.
An injury to a player is just as liable
to happen in an exhibition game as in a
regular contest. In fact the chances for
injury are even greater, as the grounds
of the minor league parks are seldom
in as good condition as the major league
grounds.
Last year Fred Buelow, the former big
league catcher. broke leg In an exhibit
ton game on the coast and put himself
out of 1t forever. Walter Johnson, the

staff. however, made it necessary to use
Dyser; in one of the games against Cleve-
land.
Dygert and Thomas was the battery an
nounced for the second game of the dou-
bic header. but Thomas didn't work very
long. In the very first inning foul tip
shattered his right thumb. and he was
compelled to retire. The only catcher on
the Philadelphia bench was Larkin. col
iegian from Holy Cross. who had never
taken part in a big league game. There
was nothing to do but put him i'll to re-
ceive.
Dygert because of his deceptive "spit-
ter is a very difficult man to catch, even
for veteran. so 1t was quite a task to
ask a youngster to perform. Dygert ar
ranged the signals with Larkin, and then
went back TO pitch. He threw two spit
ters'' To the youngster and Larkin caught
them more with his chest protector than
hands. 1t certainly looked as If the jig
was up. that Dygert was due for another
beating, as 1t was evident that Larkln
couldn't handle his delivery.
The two players held another confer
ence. and the next day Dygert unfolded
the secret to me. He told Larkin to do
his signaling in the regular way. that he
would go through the Formally of pre-
tending to expectorate on the ball. but
that during the remainder of the game he
would use nothing but speed
During the remaining eight and one-half
innings of the game Dygert didn't throw
curve or spit ball. he went through
all the motions, but speed was the only
thing served the Maps.
, Imagine Dygert's surprise when he real
lied at the close of the game that he had
really scored a victory against his jonah
team. and had failed to use what are con-
sidered his most deceptive curves. Cleve-
land was beaten that day to i. the Maps
recording only six hits, several of them
scratches.
Now Dygert is wondering II that is what
he should use in all the games he works
against Cleveland.

ARE THE DETROITS
DUE FOR A SLUMP?

Are the Detroit Tigers due to slump
during the season of 1910?
No team in recent years in either of
the big leagues has been able to win the
pennant more than three times in sue
cession.
In the National the Pittsburg team
thrice copied the bunting, and then
dropped out Of the running for several
years. Last summer the Pirates came
back into their own and COPIED the grand
old rag. Are they due to win it a couple
more times?
Chicago for three years won the honors
in the National, also twice gathered in the
worlds championship. 1t was the desire
to set a new record by taking four
straight, but their hopes were blasted
by the superior playing OF the Pittsburg
team.
In the American League Detroit has
captured the pennant three times in sue
cession. landing the honor in 1907 1905
and 1909. Can Jennings and his team re-
peat and thereby smash tradition? 1t is
a much mooted question.
Jennings Is resourceful chap, and he
may be able to turn the trick, but there
are many who believe that the Tigers
campaign. The clever move Of the De-
troit manager in getting Delehanty from
Washington and Jones FROM Detroit late
In the year undoubtedly saved the Tigers
The one ambition of Jennings life since
Joining the American League has been
to win the worlds series. He has had
three cracks at the honor and each time
he has failed. Last season he had an
excellent chance to win, but luck broke
against him throughout. That Jennings
is anxious for fourth trial goes without
saying. To get this chance he must of
course again win the pennant. 1t would
not be at all surprising if several deals
were made this year in which some of
the Detroit veterans figured.
While Jennings may not DE able to see
1t. there are quite a few of the critics
who are certain that the backstopping
end of the Tigers must be strengthened
Schmidt has failed to deliver in the big
show, Jennings evidently feared to trust
Stanage, and Beckendorf was no doubt
regarded as too inexperienced. Malachi
kittredge, the former big Lacquer who
had charge Of the Scranton club when
Beckendorf caught there. insists that the
big German is a better receiver than
either Schmidt or Stanage. In all prob
ability he will get chance in 1910.
Can Bill Donovan come back next sea-
son? VIII. George Mullin repeat his re-
markable work Of 1909? Will Summers
show dependable form and can Willett
get over his wildness? The Tigers could
be strengthened in the box.
1t is cinch that Hugh Jennings is just
a little wiser to the conditions of the
Detroit team than any one else That
Jennings will bolster up his team if he
can put through the deals is certainty.
If any one can break tradition by win
ming four pennants in a row Hugh Jen-
nings is pretty near the boy to turn the
trick.

BRESNAHAN DOESN'T

That Roger Bresnahan is not one of
those fellows that you can kid We all
know. Not much OF the laugh producer
for Bres. But Louie Evans, one OF the
Cardinals, had a bit of fun with him
during one of the games with the Giants.
Bresnahan slammed a hit to the outer
garden and stole second on the first ball
pitched. He had the bag stolen SO easily
that no attempt was made to catch him.
Bridwell, who ducked to the bag to take
the throw, was laughing as Bresnahan
came up.
Pretty nifty slide" said Bridwel
Shame it was all for nothing"
Nothing" demanded Bres.
Sure, it was a foul tip"
Roger started back to first The ball
was whipped to Bridwell and back to
first. Before the pals Of Roger could
warn him he was tagged out. Whereupon
all the players of both teams laughed
long and loud. Evans was on the coach
ing line.
Manager. that will cost you &c." said
Evans.
And that remark will cost you $685."
retorted Bres.
But the $40 goes" Evans came right
back.
Well, Bresnahan was the sorest man In
the world for the remainder of the game.
