good for a player to sit on the sidelines.
This is true. The aspirant can learn a
whole lot of the tricks of the game by
watching the experienced men. The time
a utility man spends on the bench Is not
wasted, although 1t makes him fretful.
From this coign OF vantage he can get a
good view of the smoothly working ma
chine. He gets the theory. and when
opportunity knocks he puts It into prac-
tice. He should study from the bench
all the men on the team, but he should
study the methods most particularly of
the men that he may have to replace.
But l must give out g. warning that a
beginner should not study another player
with the idea OF Initiating him A player
must be his own self.
On a team trying for the worlds cham
pionship the utility man is a very I'm
portant cog. When a team Is coming
down the home stretch. when tension is
at It's highest. when physical energy is
taxed to its limit, good player is apt
to be temporarily displaced by accident
at any moment Were 1t not for a we'll
trained utility man who could slip into
tho wonderful machine without lar
the team would often lose the pennant
when 1t is all but won.
Too much credit cannot be given the
utility mon OF the Chicago Nationals In
their work Of last season.

IT am not in favor OF doing away with
spikes" said Charles A Comiskey. owner
Of the White Sox. THE moment you
slow up the present style Of play the in
terest manifested by the public will de-
crease Take away the sensational steal
ing Of bases and base ball would be a
tiresome game. Base runners and field
ers cannot get along without spikes. That
can be proved in various ways. Take the
case of Outfielder Barrett, for example.
He was permanently disabled because he
wore dull spikes on his shoes. He ran
after a fly ball In a game several years
ago, missed his footing, fell and broke
his leg. Players do not Intentionally try
to injure opponents with their spikes
Ty Cobb, for instance, has been unjustly
accused OF hurting fellow-players. But
he is q clean player and is always try
ing to help the Detroits to win. 1 never
spoke to him in my life. but wish /
had him on my Chicago team. No. the
use of spikes cannot be abolished. in
my opinion, and as member of the
American League committee to consider
this matter shall oppose any change"

SIX DAIRY COWS
WERE INSPECTED

At least three local families have
milk cows that are not affected with
tuberculosis. They are the families
of John HALEY, Jr., A. H. Rugg and
L. F. Anderson. All of these men
have had their dairy cows inspected
by men with the bureau of animal in
rustry and not an animal was found
affected. They had six altogether, Mr..
HALEY having three, Mr.. Rugg one
and Mr.. Anderson, two.
Some time ago two local dairymen
announced their intention of having
their herds inspected by the govern
ment men. But up to this time at
least they have not signed up with
DR.. Mcclure and ii appears that no
general inspection of the dairy cows
of this city is to be made this spring,
According to DR.. Mcclure any fur
ther inspection work to be done must
be arranged for Immediately for the
reason that the tuberculin test can
not be used with accuracy during the
hot season.

ALL STATES JOIN IN
BIG PROTEST AT SEATTLE

Seattle.-All of the states having
exhibits at the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition have joined with oregon
in the protest against the effort to
place selling booths on the lawns In
front of the state buildings. In or
der to effectively guard the inter-
ests OF the states at the exposition the
state commissioners have formed a
commissioners association. The com
missioners from Oregon. Utah, Idaho,
California and New York have en-
tered the organization.
At a meeting today a committee,
consisting of ]. A. Filcher OF Cali
fornia, Rudolph Kulcher of Utah and
B. NJ Wilcox of New York, was
named to present a formal written
protest to the exposition manage
ment against placing booths in front
of the state and county buildings.
This committee will appear before
the board of directors tomorrow. A.
NJ. Crawford. attorney general OF
Oregon, will appear with the COM
mittee to represent his state in the
controversy. 1t was the Oregon com
mission that first raised objection to
the placing of the booths in front OF
the state building.
Exposition officials declare that
they are entirely within their rights
in placing the booths, 115 of which
have been ordered. and are backed
in this stand by their counsel, John
w. Roberts. The fair management
declares the entire controversy to be
tempest in a teapot" and asserts
that the exposition plans in the mat
ter will be carried out.

WITH NAKED EYE

Geneva, N. Y, May 26.-An un-

BUT MAY RECOVER

Charles Wall, of the RAIDER furni-

and fears are held that he will not re-
cover. He is at the st. Anthony's
hospital where he was recently oper-
ated upon for appendicitis. This af-
ternoon his condition was reported to
be very low but it was stated that
should he be able to live through the

will be good. He was taken with ap-
pendicitis only few days ago and his
condition became serious almost i'm
mediately, thereby necessitating an
operation.

REGISTRY FEE RAISED.
Will Cost Ten Cents But the Governments
 Liability is Doubled.

After November l the govern ment's charge for transporting registered letters will be ten cents instead of eight cents, as it is now. Therefore. as the two cent stamp which must accompany the regis try stamp will also be required. the cost of Federal insurance on mail is raised from ten to twelve cents. The government makes one con- cession to the people, however. of great value, as a sort of recon pense for the additional charge, namely, it announces it's intention. also, after November l.. to raise the amount for which it can be held if registered letter is lost, from $25 to $50.
 Some years ago the registry fee was ten cents. but as this was though unnecessarily high, a re- duction was made to eight cents The restoration of the old figure at this time is the outcome of the increased trouble which the gov ernment has in handling the mail, 
 due to the long distances which let ters are sent. Postoffice officialsare unanimous in declaring that it costs more to handle mail than ever be- fore. By an act of Congress, passed in 1902, the postmaster general may change the fee at his discretion, within the limit of eight cents as the minimum and twenty cents as the maximum.
 Instead of decreasing the num- Der of registered letters that may be sent, it is very probable that a readiustment of the charge and the indemnity will result in an in- crease. Liability of only $25 has long been thought inadequate and many persons desiring to send sums larger than that have re- trained from doing so. because of the fear that their remittances would get lost and only partially repaid The inauguration of a liberal increase, making the insur- ance twice as large as it was be- fore, will very likely cause the reg istry business to extend.
