II they could it would enhance their In

may turn from the widest booster to the

Just one instance to illustrate the power
OF the wise manager; In one game be-
tween Detroit and Chicago for the worlds

effectively, but never understood by the
public, who could not what was in

Wild Bill Donovan to the box. That mo-
ment Chance gave the order to his men,
wait 1t out" For the laymans sake it
might be explained that this means try
for base on balls. wild Bill had speed
that seemed to be superhuman and his
curves broke with marvellous precision.

sistent order.
Chance figured that no mortal could
maintain the speed that Donovan had for
nine innings and he watched every move

sign of weakening. The eighth inning
opened with Artie Holman at bat. The
order still was to wait Holman waited

six runs were in, Detroit was beaten and
the worlds contest settled there and then.
But what did the fans up in the stands
and out in the bleachers know of this
inside work? Nothing They saw men

apparently unable to hit the ball for eight

the Cubs at his mercy. The one fault OF
base ball is that 1t cannot reveal its deep

show the careful thought and planning
that goes into every play. or course the
real student of the game can see most OF
this, but how few students there are as

mony is to be maintained.
OF the entire group OF buildings, which
will eventually cover this terminal, there
Is one structure. This is the office building
which is designed to extend from Forty
third street to Forty fifth street on Lex
ington avenue. The northern half OF this
building has been completed and Is already
In use. The ground floor is occupied by a
branch post office, having a floor space OF
10000 square feet. The six stories are oc-
cupied by the general executive offices of
the New York Central railroad and its allied
corporations. This building, as now com
pleted, Is seven stories high, but the steel
columns and beams already in place are
of such strength that twelve additional
stories can be added, whenever the rail-
road company so decides,
The building in which the terminal archl-
tectural development will center is. of
course, the new Grand Central station.
This structure, covering six city blocks,
will be the biggest railroad station in the
world The station, which is now being
built Is about 80 feet high This building
is railroad terminal pure and simple. 1t
has but two floors, the express train level
which is the upper and the suburban train
level.
This is the building which the railroad
Is now busily constructing. Tho commu-
ter or the more distant traveller. shunter
about as he is between temporary board
fences, has progressed with this work. II
he could get behind one of those board
fences, and II he had with him an archi-
tect to point out Just what's what he would
be amazed to discover that a goodly portion
Of the new station is actually completed.
In considering the progress made upon
this great enterprise, It must be remem-
bered that not only is the biggest railroad
terminal In the world being built, but that
at the same time and on the same spot the
busiest railroad terminal in the world is
doing business. Exclusive OF work trains,
lT,s02 trains, or H143 miles Of trains, came
and went from the Grand Central station
last year.
In spite Of the great handicaps, the archi-
tects believe that the station and terminal
will be completed I'm less than two years.

In describing it the superlative degree

Is particularly striking when II is remem-
bered that this widespreading terminal Is
In the heart Of the biggest city in America
and that a conservative estimate of the
property value puts the figure at $50, 900 900.
While on the subject of dollars, It may
be well to give the total estimated cost
OF this collosal enterprise. As has been
said. conservative estimate OF the prop
erty value is t5O,OOOOOO. Since the rumor
OF these improvements has leaked out,
prices for surrounding property have so
risen that 25 per cent might be added to
this figure. The cost of eXcavating the
double-decked, subterranean train yards,
and putting in the steel TO carry the car
service and the street traffic. which crlss-
crosses the yards, adds another $50, 1000 600

This bunting game is one of the greatest

opposing manager will order the bunt

In this day of scientific pitching the
popular conception is that the man In the

high or not, certain 1t is that winning

In illustration of the futility of any per-

fond Of telling this story as 1t was told to
him by an Irish Judge.
A prisoner was brought before the Judge
on the charge of murder. He was con-
victed. but the jury recommended clemency
because physicians who had gone on the
stand testified that the murdered man
would not have died from the blow he had
received had he not had what is technically
known as paper skull" this meaning
that the skull was abnormally thin.
The judge pointed this out to the prisoner
and asked him II he had anything to say
TO modify his punishment

Yes" said the judge; the county Of

New York. January s.-Judging from
the announcements from the rowing
camps of the leading Eastern colleges.
the annual regatta will be rowed
earlier than usual next spring. While
Yale and Harvard have not as yet
decided upon the exact date for their

will be held at least a week or ten
days before July 4. which was tho
date of the races last season. While
there is no connection between the
two bodies, a similar action has been
taken by the stewards of tho Inter
collegiate Rowing Association and a
date fixed for the annual boat races
on the Hudson River at Poughkcepsic.
