Popular with everybody, on and off
the team. Johnny Kelly is going faster
than ever this year and is hitting the
ball on the nose for fair. Johnny is
another one of the Tigers who has a
big league experience, having played
with the st. Louis Cardinals in 1907.
"Kel" started in the game profession

this club busted" for lack of support,
Kelly went to Troy, by whom he was
sold to Montreal in 1902, being trans
ferred the next year to Baltimore with
sixteen others. of whom he was the
only one to stick. During 'O4, 'O5 and
'06 the sturdy o~utfielder remained with
the Orioles. In the spring he was
drafted by st. Louis, but was turned
back to Baltimore, the fans setting up
an awful howl at h loss of their
favorite. In June of last year, kel
came to this city where he has made
his greatest success. He is wonder

back to the United States, once again,

interesting. From all over the country,
and. in two cases, from foreign coun-
tries, they GENE to this city, as u rep

Joe McGinnity.
Probably the best known of any of
the members of the club is the new
owner, Joe MoGinnity, famous through
out the baseball world as THE Iron
Man. a name gained by his remark-
d BILE ability to win two games in an
afternoon when a member of the PEN
nant-winning Brooklyn team of the
National League, Securing his release
from New York, in the spring McGin-
nifty looked the field over. seeking 10

in a prosperous circuit. He decided on
Newark. Far from desiring to decorate
the bench all season. Joe decided to
take his regular place in the box for
the Tigers.

Manager Harry Wolverton has been
before the baseball public since 1895,
when he. as a youngster, started into

Western IAague. He didn't care fol

into the infeld. In 1898 and 1899 Harry

Patsy Kline at Wa1dmann's Theatre
last night owing to an injury to his
left arm. He pleased the bunch. how
ever. by making a neat speech, in
which he predicted great things for
Patsy, and said that he expected him
to wear the crown of Abe Attell in less
than a year. Were there any cheers? OF
course there were.
The New Yorker then CALLED Patsy

The years have slipped by since
Freebooter John j.. Brady, of the
Seventh ward, was a baseball player.
but the one-time Red Stocking star, al
though now out of the game. can tell
many a good story. He has a supply
of them on tap, but his winning nara
tive is the tale that show how a dead
man scored a run that won a holly
contested game. The freeholder told
the story, and he says that he'll stand
for 1t. Moreover he gives names and
that's evidence of his good faith, Be
sides playing with the Red Stockings
the freeholder at one time sported the
colors of the Orange A. c. and played
with Gloversville In the New York State
League, and was, umpire in a Western
league, too. So that shows he knows
baseball. This is his story:
In the year Of 1896, said the Freehold
er. II was umpiring an independent game
in Minnesota. The superiority of teams
representing the towns of Willmar and
Benson was to be determined by a double
header at Benson, July 4. 1t WAS one

ing game to the tune OF 2 to l. Willmar
was somewhat disheartened. Cadne ono
whom every Willmar fan would bet his
last dollar, was sent In to pitch In the
afternoon game.
He began to show the effects Of the
heat early. The score was still Il tie
had been. in fact. since the second inning.
In the first half of the tenth the score was
a. tie. A base on balls, an error and a
hit made Wtllmar fans look pretty sick,
Cadue was first up, and ! could see he
was about down and out
with two and three on him. however.
he got a lucky hit. The next man up,
he could use. He met the first ball for
a homer. Cadue started for the plate.
He got to second all right, staggered n
little on the way. on to third, and fell
fiat on the third bag. O'Toole, knowing
that he could not score ahead of Cadue,
picked up the prostrate player and carried
him to the home plate. O'Toole dropped
Cadue on the rubber. and then touched II
himself. There was a great argument over
the play, but | decided that the two runs
counted" said the Freeholder.
"A physician was called out on the field.
Cadue was pronounced dead. He had been
overcome by the heat"
That fellow Billow. of the Third Ward
Pleasure Club, is some hitter. He and his
pitcher. Wilke, only had three apiece Sum
day against the Otto Karst team.
BY the looks Of things, the Ir6nsides are
going to have the candy pitcher hereabouts
this year in Bobby Knoth.

OYSTER BIDS SHOULD NET
 STATE $5OO,OOO REVENUE
In Letter to Representative Well Informed Person
 Makes Plea for 'sInvestigaton'' With Money Behind It.

nothing net to the state treasury but are the cause of an annual deficit of about S40O nthe administration of the property; whereas it is asserted that there are parties willing to pay as much as s6O 900 a year for the exclusive privilege of these free beds. Of course. no one suggests turning them over to exclusive hands, but it is obvious that they ought to produce more revenue.
 The following figures concerning as- sessments are from the official records, and are typical of the great majority of large holdings:
 Lot No. 717, mortgaged for S10,000 and probably worth S20. 900, is assessed at s4.122. Its real value is approxi mately $100 an acre (basing it on the nortgage,) but its owners pay taxes on a sworn valuation of $40 an acre.
 Lot No. 6ss: morsgaged nor for sS' o9e; 715; value (real), $143 an ace; assessed at $25 an acre.
 Last years taxes of H. c. Rowe Ctf1e wealthiest of the lot, and rated as a mf1lfonaire) were only s6909S. But In another way he pays the sum of six and onetenths cents an acre for his rich privileges; and his case is not ex- ceptional but typical. These figures carry their own comment. This is the same MT. Rowe who has just written "a letter to the New Haven Palladium ffercely denoupcing as a political job the effort to have oyster bed taxation investigated and corrected!
 My own idea is that a proper sys- tenn of taxation would be flat rate on acreage, to prevent speculative hold ing. It fs impossible to fix any arbi- trary revenue tax Der acre, because no two acres. not even those adjoining. are the same in productive value.
 E But, however fair such a system might seem at first thought, it ought got to be adopted without full and careful study. All Of the veried in- fnv. f<, ', the systems in other States should be studied, which will take time. And you can't set men. to devote the time to it unless they are paid well. Tt has been urged tAat $10, 900 Is too much, but it seems to me the Governor, who is in hearty sympathy with this plan for special investigation, and indeed assisted the committee in preparing a resolution that would meet his views. cannot be suspected of having a hand in a political job and can be trusted to naf11e a commission tllat will not Ewasfe the States money or in any way 'div&tt it from useful channels.

J H. Hale of Glastonbury, interest ed in the Hale & Coleman orchards on Moose Hin. Says that Connecticut peaches will be in market about Au- gust 10. that by August 20 they will be in in abundance and that the Con- nectfcut crop this year will be as fine a peach crop as was ever sold.
 MT Hale told something of the valu- able work that the United States de- pertinent of agriculture is doing. He said that there had been considerable troubla in Georgia by peaches rottfng because of the early spring rains, that Secretary Wilson had made some ex- periments and that what had been accomplished was worth $50, 900 to had consulted MT. Wilson about hay In his peach orchard in Georgia and he had offered to stand one-half of the expense with the government.
 The experiments were tried on the Elberta peaches on some trees on one side of Connecticut avenue in the orchard and on the opposite side of the avenue there were some trees which were not experimented on. In addi- fion to overcoming the rot the specks In the peaches were overcome and the peach that had been experimented with was more than twice the size of the other peach shown and was as per- feet as a peach could be-

member of the house of repre- eentatives has received the following information from a man who has been devoting much time and study to the oyster interests in Connectbut and who favors a searching inquiry into the taxation of oyster properties:
 T presume it has not escaped your customary vigilance that the resolu- Son now before the assembly calling ser an investigation of the oyster in edstry has met with sudden opposition n the senate. It is said that the op- position is to be carried to the floor of SAe house, and I beg the privilege of .$coupting some of the things relating eS this subject that I have learned at 2rst hand. They lead me to say un- hesitatingly that most of the effort to defeat the measure comes from parties who would be large gathers by sue ceeding, although some of it comes from conscientious people who do not apparently, understand the real situa- ton and have been led to believe the spacious cry that this is only an effort to create jobs for two or three gentle men.
 aThe industry now represents a cap ftal of about $7,000.O 900. with an annual product of about $5.000000. The plant and business of one man alone is esti- m1ted to be worth close to a million. Yet there are over 450 owners of pri- vate grounds, and over 45o steamers and power boats, manned by, upwards Of 1000 men, are engaged in the trade.
 TAI the revenue the state derives from this large, prosperous, aRd grow ing industry is about $12,00O a year. all but about $1 900 of which is used up in the administration of the states interests, so that the state receives practically nothing from it.
 On the other hand, by way of com Narison, the state of Rhode Island, with oyster beds only one-fifth of ours in extent receives about $100.0O0 an- nzally, gross, with administration ex- penses of about 5000. To put it in another way: If the Connecticut prop critics paid proportionate1y in leases or taxes, this state would receive from them nearly $500, 900 yeari
 The oyster men who. have been get ting ofY SO easily for twenty years have raised the cry that our beds are not so valuable as those of Rhode leland But it remains the fact that they keep on adding to their holdings hare and getting wealthier by 1t.
