material the smiling coach's hardest task
will be the development OF an efficient

brilliantly in this position are Patengll.

and Drake. These schools all had strong
lines last fall and the pospects were that
the forwards for this season would be
fully as strong as In 1909. With the new
rules placing a premium on light and fast
players the coaches at these schools have
been hit a severer blow than those institu-
lions which were weak in the line but
pow erfu In the back field. 1t is those
schools that lacked the line material but
possessed the good forward passers and
kckers that will reap the benefit of the
revision this coming season. Among the
schools OF this latter class are Iowa, Ames,
Kansas and Washington.
Amcs was helpless last fall because of
its frail line and had the most disastrous
season since 4 began attracting attention
in the west. Kansas would have won tho
championship OF the Missouri valley had
its line been the equal OF Missouris. 1t
was the Jayhawker quarterback and rear
guard that enabled Coach Kennedy's team
to hold the Tigers TO a low score. Wash
ington was a non-factor because of it's
miserable line work.
With the season six weeks off, It looks
as though Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and
Ames should produce the leading eevens
of this section. All of them will have
much available material Of both the light
and heavy varieties. and If the coaches
are evenly matched as TO inventive genius
and power for work the teams should make
a pretty struggle for supremacy in the
valley Coach king" Cole at Nebraska
has an advantage over the other mentors.
for he will have a prize bunch of light
weight candidates and also large group
OF heavy men who possess speed, tact and
keen thought He will have two sets of as
fine back field men as have donned uni
forms in this section Of the country during
the last five years. In addition, he will
have two men who can accurately pitch the
spheroid long distances and kicker who
can boot the ball between the goal posts
from the forty and forty-five-yard line
with wonderful accuracy.

Young Pitchers
Get Poor Start
Veteran Jack Boyle Declares Big
Leagues Train Young Twirlers
on Bad Theory.

NEW YORK. Aug. 13-"The present way
OF handling pitchers-I mean, Of course, the
way OF breaking in young pitchers-is all
wrong" says the veteran Jack Boyle. who
caught for the st. Louis Browns when
Charlie Comiskey was managing Won der
Ahe's team. 81 may be mistaken OF course,
but In my opinion the system now followed
by all the big league managers Is absurd.
IL Is now the invariabe custom when a
major league team secures q junior wonder
from the bushes, to set him down upon the
bench and tell him to stop, look and lis
ten. He is supposed to pitch a little be-
fore the game, and then to watch the
veterans putting them over, and, incident
ally, to learn all he can about the various
batsmen and the inside workings OF the
fast company. Then, some day, when a
pitcher has been pounded, the youngster
goes In from the bench and makes a sorry
showing. Theoretically, of course, this sys-
tenn ought TO be all right The boy ia
going to school, as 1t were, and receiving
the instruction to fit him for his business
career. But as matter of plain fact and
common sense, how about It?
Your young pitchers comes up from the
brushwood with sense of sublime conf
dence and an unlimited stock of nerve.
He thinks he must be good, or the big team
wouldn't have paid SO much money for
him. He knows that IL he could go right
in there and face those big leaguers he'd
show them up; but he doesn't get the
chance. BY the time he has been under in
struction for a week or two he has lost
his confidence. He has had 1t impressed
upon him that he is lucky TO be alive He
has had the merits OF his natural style
criticised; he has been shown a lot of
stunts with the best intentions but with
out the least effect.
''Anson used to take them green from the
train. Good morning, Mr.. Arson. I'm
Hurlby, the new pitcher 'Umph. Umph.
When did you get IMP Why, just ten
minutes ago, Mr. Anson. Um uh. I'm,
uh. Well, young man, go and eat good
steak and get out the ball park before ESQ.
You pitch this afternoon.
And the greenhorn would go in. and
would NOV down the mighty slugsers
Why? Because he came up fresh, strong
full of confidence. The other fellows were
scared, not the kid. They took 1t for
granted the boy must be wonder or he
wouldn't be sent in raw from the little
league He had new stuff and backwoods
shoots; he may have been crude but "a wise
old catcher would be helping him, and the
Old Man would be yelling, 'Haw, haw! Go
it, boy-haw, haw! Look at them trying
to hit that curver And in that way
Arson made great pitchers
Take 'em as they get off the train
Feed them, and ram EN- into the uniform
Send 'em straight in that very afternoon
If the boys have the stuff, they will show
it instantly, and it will be the opposing
batsman who will be attacked with stage
fright, not the new kids. And If you don't
think I'm right, study the old records and
note how the big stars broke In"

JAP BASE BALL TEAM LOSES
Crack NiDpOnese Meet Snas I'm Two
Chinese Teams.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S--Waseda uni
versitys crack japanese base ball team has
struck a snag in Honolulu. The collegians
were beaten first by a picked-up team OF
Oahu and then by the nine of the Chinese
Athletic club. Both games we're high class
and the first one went seventeen innings,
sixteen without a run N5r either side.
Despite the defeats It is plain that the
Japanese are playing a fast game. The Wis
itors from the east have a strong battery in
Omura and YAmawkl.
Americans who have seen the games say
that these two would 40 credit to any
American college team, and TO some teams
of the smaller professional leagues. In sew
enteen innings Omura gave only three
bases on balls and struck out fourteen
men. This is pitching with a vengeance
The men who defeated the japanese In
the first game have had long experience,
and would compare favorably with many
OF the teams In the small American pro-
fessional leagues.
Chinese in Honolulu have a pitcher who
compares favornbly with the visiting Japa-
nese twirier. His name is Apau. and he has
both speed and control Up TO date the
Chinese have taken more readily TO the
batting game than the japanese. Hong
Chack. En- Sue and John 10 meet the ball
squarely and are known throughout Hawaii

game is not suffering in the hands either

VIRGINIA TOWN IS
RUN BY MANAGER
Business Experiment Of stanton Has
50 Far Met With Much
Success

When Stauntoa. weary OF the old
aldermanic system with its tempta-
lions and opportunities for graft
and its ev~er-present extravaganza, be-
gan looking about for q better meth.
cd OF municipal government, the com-
mission plan seemed the most prom
Using scheme available. II had been
tried In Galveston with such success
that other cities had adopted It. The
Des Moines plan was also considered
but a barrier to the commission form
OF government was foand In the con-
stftntion of Virginia. which imposed
upon each city within its borders tho
necessity OF having an aldermanic
board.
Unable to rid themselves of tho
aldermanio board and adopt the more
modern plan, the people went as far
as they could. They abolished the
old system under which the city
council appoints committees 10 at
tend to the various departments OF
city government and created the OF
flee OF general manager. The general
manager was given CENTRE charge
and control of all the executive work
of the city in its various departments
and full control Of the heads OF de-
partments and employees of the city"
He was also clothed with authority
ITO make all contracts for labor and
supplies. and to perform all the nd
ministratiye and executive work now
performed by the several standing
committees OF the council. except the
finance, ordinance and auditing COM
m%ittees."
Charles r.. Ashburner was elected
general manager. He filled the posi-
ton SO satisfactorily that, at the end
OF the first year, he was given a sal
airy increase OF $500 per annum. He
still holds the Job, and IL Is certain
that stanton will never go back to
the old system OF government by
ward politicians.
Mr.. John Crosby, author or the
stanton plan, has this to say OF its
operation:
"As we have had this system In
operation for about two years ana
have passed the experimental stage.
1t will quite naturally be asked: What
do the people think of It and how do
they like It? What have been the re-
suits? And does the Office justly tho
expense? I answer. yes. most en-
phatically to each question, II has
not only been a complete success In
every particular. but has produced
better results in a shorter time than
was anticipated by it's most enthusi
astic supporters.'-Robert @. Hidden.

without a days illness.
In his African hunt he secured 1897
