Ebhets After Willie Keller.

President Ebbets of the Brooklyn
club said the other day that if he
could induce the New York Americans
to part with Willie Keeler he would
make the little right fielder manager
of the Brooklyn team. Il am afraid
President Farrell will be opposed to
such deal,' said Ebbets, "but if he
is thinking of replacing Keller next
season 1 know Willie would jump at a
chance to manage Brooklyn. Keller
is a Brooklyn boy and always has
been popular with the fans of Wash
ington park. He knows baseball from
every angle and is well fitted to han
die a team of players who need an ex-
perienced leader"

SPIKED Ball Nets Four Bases.

A riot was precipitated in a Phila-
delphia championship ball game the
other day when a ball stuck on the
spike of the fence and the umpire
called it home run. The rules pro-
vided that a ball over the fence was
a two-bagger. The police were called
to suppress the fans, while three field
ers made frantic efforts to Chamber up
and release the tempting ball. But
there it stuck, just beyond their reach,
and they had to wait until it could be
knocked off with a club. 1t was the
only ball in the grounds.

MATHEWSON'S IDEAS ON
PITCHING IN BIG LEAGUE

1.-THE proportions of qualities
needed for good pitching are
about as follows: Fifty per
cent. control, 80 per cent. luck,
ten per cent. speed. ten per
cent. curve.
"All the speed, the fast jumps,
the cross-fires, the spitballs, the
big curves, and the head are
worth nothing unless a pitcher
has control.
"The most disheartening thing
in the world for a young pitch
er is for the team to fail to hit
behind him. That has broken
the heart of more newcomers
than any other one thing.
"The team has never been
lucky enough to hit well behind
Marquard, and that is largely
responsible for his failure to
get a good start. He has every
thing that goes to make a good
pitcher. Let them get a few
runs ahead for him and see
what he will do. He needs
confidence.
"The only man that has got
ten a base on balls off me this
season when l didn't give it to
him purposely was Clements of
Brooklyn"

A TURNER MASTERPIECE.
Origin Of the Painters Fsnous "Rain,
Steam and Speed"


OF all pictures by the great English
color poet, Turner, none is more popu-
lar than that which now graces the
London National gallery under the
name of Rain. Steam and Speed"
which was first exhibited in 1874. 1t
Is impossible to reproduce this ade-
quately.
Concerning the origin of this picture
Ruskin furnishes an interesting tale.
The story was told to him by friend,
Lady Simon. 1t seems that she was
travelling one night in the early days
Of the Great Western railway from
Exeter to London. when | had taken
of my coat and smoothed my rufiled
plumes and generally settled myself"
she tells. 81 looked up to see the most
wonderful eyes l ever saw. steadily,
luminously, clairvoyantly, kindly. pa
ternally looking at me. The hat was
over the forehead, the mouth and chin
buried in the brown velvet coat collar
of the brown greatcoat. Well, we went
on. and the storm went on more and
more until we reached Bristol, where
we waited ten minutes. My old gen
tleman rubbed the side window with
his coat cuff, in vain. He attacked the
center window, again In vain. so blur
red and blotted was 1t with the tor
rents of rain. A moments hesitation
and then. Young lady. would you mind
my putting down this Window
"'Oh, no not at ALL
, "'You may be drenched, you know
"'Never mind, SIR
Immediately down went the win
dow and out went the old gentleman's
head and shoulders, and l said, oh.
please let me look
SNOW, you will be drenched.' he re-
monstrated. But he half opened the
window for me to see. Such night.
Such chaos of elemental and artificial
lights and noises I never saw nor
heard. He drew up the window as we
moved on. leaned back for some
minutes with closed eyes, then opened
them and said. Well. have been
drenched. but 1t was well worth 1T
"He nodded and smiled and again
took to his steady but inoffensive Pc
rusing Of my face. The next year. I
think It was. going to the academy. I
turned at once. as always did. to see
what Turner's there were. Imagine
my feelings! There stood written

would be had they murdered hui
man beings. There is no evil
dence to show that the indescrib-
able slaughter of the innocents
was brought about through diff

There are a million different

The disgraceful butchery of a
band of fifteen hundred innocent
sheep, in western Colorado, by
brutes in human form merely be-
cause they had some fancied
grievance against the owner of
the flock, is an outrage against

ages and crime for which the
fiendish perpetrators should re-
ceive the same mercy as they
showed the innocent dumb
brutes. 1t seems that these
fiends raided the sheep camp
early in the morning when the
flock was in a corral. The mur-
derers tied the Mexican herders,
then proceeded TO the corrall
where they shot, clubbed and
smothered fifteen hundred sheep
and left many of the small lambs

graft, without taking what some
