Pleas and Brewers rolled 1873, within
seven pins of the league reoord-145,

season.
Three weeks ago the Nonpareils got so
good lead over the other teams it was
impossible to drag them out of first place,
but the remaining honors were not de-
cided until the last game had been rolled.
BY winning three straight the Pleas Sc

the history OF base ball can boast-a
grand all-around man.
In my days on the diamond | have
played every position. l am still at IT..
until now l feel at home no matter where
L am stationed. But l know that it
would be much easier to have 1t to
think that l had some one place to go
TO and some. single line of enort ahead.
But still, l am satisfied. To be able
to play at all with a great team and to
help win victories is all that any ball
player dreams of.
The base ball public is beginning to
know the value OF the utility player. He
is now getting to be a popular hero as
we'll the pitcher or the heavy hitter.
His work Is cheered. friendly shouts greet
his appearance. and his failures are al
lowed for. This IS dear to him. Critics
claim that, the players are i'm tha game
only for the money. and that they care
not whit for the sport or the applause.
But such Is not, the. case. We all love
the game and love to play it. And the
man cannot be found who does not crave
a little applause. and who does not feel
happier when burst of cheers greets a
good play or. timely hit.

he's valuable. Every manager is always
on the lookout for utility man-that is.
good one. He's just as much to the
team as the star pitcher or catcher. the
ones who are ever there with the goods
when called on.
just consider what he is supposed to do
His club has a star player, one who re-
celveS big check each month. one be-
loved and admired BY the fans. This
player Is injured. The fillerin must take
MS place. And he must fill 1t. Let him
make any slip that the regular might not
have made, and his job Is in danger In
deed, he is supposed to do things that the
other fellow would not. for a base ball
a favorite makes it. I recall an instance
of this. In one of our games several sea-
sons since Davis was on the hospital list
and ] was playing short. The batter drove
one on line over second. 1t was. per-
haps. some eight or nine feet In the air
when 1t reached the bag. I managed to
get over to 1t, jumped. touched. but did
not catch 1t. What a howl went up!
Davis would have caught it,: eff George
were only there I knew the yellers were
saying. BUT Davis is some shorter than
am. and. with all due respect to his
ability, know he would never have been
able to get up to that ball. And that's
the way 1t goes.
ical ability to play either infield or out
field. Many have. But they have not
the needed adaptability of mind. 1t is
a hard thing. indeed. to be able to put
the different plays into effect in the diff
ferent positions without an instant's
hesitation. Take the man who has been
playing in the garden. Put him in the
diamond. Is 1t easy for him to SCOOP
up hot grounder and shoot the ball to
first to second or to home whatever the
case may be. without stopping to think
or to take a look around? Or send a man
to the outfield after he has acquired the
habit Of playing the infield. He is used
to having balls come at him with the
speed of light. He knows how to stop
them and what to do with them. His
throws are short and quick. But now he
has to wait while the ball is coming
to him: he has to figure on the breeze
that may be blowing: he has to make

Bogus Mining Experts

Employment by the United States geological survey, for even short time or in any capacity, appears to have a commercial value that is rated high. Even the cooks and teamsters of the field parties refer proudly to their con- nection with the survey and reap the reward of popular credit that attaches to their public service.
 The advertisement of such conrec- tion after it ceases, however, has some times been the source of trouble or em- barassment to the survey, especially where it. is used for the furtherance of doubtful mining schemes, and the sur vey desires to give emphasis and wide publicity to the fact, DOW fairly we'll known, that no member of it's scientific corps is allowed to do private profes- sioual work in the United States dur jug the period of hls employment. The rules of the survey are, indeed, so stringent that no one connected with it in any apacity-whether as messen ger, laborer, clerk or scientist-is per mitted to hold stock in any mining company in the United States. The public is warned to look carefully into the statements and standing of any practicing mining engineer who adver- tises his present connection with the survey.
 The fact that the staff of the geologi- cal survey is not composed exclusively of geoiogists is too often overlooked. Of the 1900 or more persons connected with it in 1908, not more than 10 per cent are geologists, and not more than 1 per cent are engaged iu work whose character implies ability to determine the merits of mining prospect or en- terprise.

Worlds Gold Production

At the present rate of production the worlds gold mines will produce during the current year the high record figure of almost 94OO,0OO,OO0. Twenty five years ago the gold production of the world was only SlOO,OOOOOO, which is something below the United States gold output this year, plus the gold from the Mexico mines controlled by American capital. The monetary stock of gold in the world is S5,7OO,00OO0O It will be perceived that if the gold production of the world goes on in creasing at the ratio of the last five years during 12 years the result will be an addition to the stock of gold that will equal the value of the existing gold in the shape of coins-
 The fine arts consume gold to the value of S125, ,OOO,OOO year. Taking the lowest estimate of the gold produc- tion for this year, $385, 100000, it will be seen that for this period there will be S2G,OOO,OOO to add to the worlds gold reserves. These figures are startling, and they serve to prove that the recovery of business which is most ev- ideut in countries that control the largest sums of gold, is based upon the steady and increasing volume of gold production. History is repeating it. self. As trade the world over was greatly stimulated when gold began to flow freely from California and Aus tralia several months ago, so trade to- day is feeling the tonic from the great gold production of 1908.-Boston Financial News.

Good and Bad by Turns

At the banquet given by the business men the Rev. pr. c. R. Hudson told the following story, which made a big hit: He said that two men, who had not met for many years, but who had been warm friends, were talking about how things had been with chem. Each said he had had the usual ups and downs, some good and some bad.
 "Well, was married" said one.
 "That's good," said the other
 "Well, it wasn't so good. The woman was awfully mean"
 "That's bad," commented his friend.
 "WelI, it wasn't so bad either. She had lot of money"
 "That was good" again remarked his friend
 "WeD, it wasn't so good, either. in- vested the money in sheep and they all laid down and died"
 "That was bad"
 "Wen, it wasn't so bad, either. 1 pulled off the wool and sold it for more than the sheep were worth"
 "That was good"
 "Well, it wasn't so good, either. 1 put the money in house and one night the house was burned down."
