According to these plans. 1t will soon
be possible for the telephone subscrib-
er TO write out his dispatch on an
electric machine. which will reproduce
1t simultaneously in the office of the
telegraph company. This will virtually
mike a telegraph office out OF every
telephone. station and will add enor-
mously to the facilities of the tele-
graph companies.
Persons IN authority said that 1t
would be only short time before such
device would be placed at the COM
mand OF all the large business houses
of the United States.
1t is believed that such an instru-
ment can be supplied to large sub
scribers at virtually no extra expense.
while it will be possible for small sub
scribers TO have 1t at a relatively low
cost.

 In those days the pitcher was only allowed to pitch the ball. The batter could call for the kind Of ball that he wanted, low, high, etc. and the pitcher did not give him what he asked for, the umpire called 1t ball. No gloves masks. or chest protectors were used by the catcher. Just think of Spike shannon or Hub Hart stopping one of Thomas's speedy ones with their bare hands. or Roger Bresnahan doing the same thing to one of Christy Mathew son or Joe McGinnity's fast ones.
 The ball used in play was the regula. tion, 1-4 inches in circumfersnce. put ounces To begin with, it was not as hard or as compactly wrapped as the present standard ball. It was stuffed with cotton and had lots more rubber in 1t than the present balls. Charlie Frank or Billie Smith would have loved those balls. Good batters should have hit that ball mile. and if Triss Speak CT or Buttermilk Meeks could have landed on one, 1t would have gone even further than the ball that Sam Appe- rious hit in the ninth inning when he broke up game with the Pelicans few years ago.
 "Oh we had lots of funs in those days. . said Mir. Clark. fin talking of the old times "Many and many a time have walked four or five miles to play Q game of ball and walked the same distance back home, and am not sure but that would do it again
 "No admission was charged at any of the games. the expenses being raised by collections from the members of the two teams. and some times involuntary subscriptions from some of the spec tators.
 T remember a game we had over fin Demopolis when there was something like 5000 people at the grounds. was generally the catcher. and if the ball , happened to get by me sometimes a man would make a home run before We l could find it in the weeds and briars the only cleared spots being where the catcher stood and the pitchers box" Mir Clark. while he has lived in Mont. | eomery most of his life. was originally l from wetumpka. where he lived many l years. He also lived for some years in Mobile.
