opinion that he is not going to try tc steal. Then he starts.
 Cobb stole a great many more bases last season than did Wagner, but il was because he took a great many more chances. He was also in a great many more games.
 But one thing you want to bear ir mind,' says Catcher Archer of Chica- go. Wagner stole the bases wher they counted. Unless it was important to the game at the time, the Dutchman would not start. Cobb will start any time, just for the pure deviltry of it He likes to see if he can beat the catchers' throw. He figures that with a good start he can beat anybody : throw to a base, and he is pretty near ly right.
 'Stin,'' continued Archer. q fea, Wagner on a base more than I would Cobb. I know Cobb's system pretty thoroughly. as I was on the Detroi' team with him for a long time, though never played against him. had ths time of my life, though, last year try ing to handle that fellow Wagner.
 Wagner never makes any unneces- sary motions while running the bases He has a sort of crouch, with hands spread out, and the lower he bends the better he is prepared to make a sud- den dash. The only other man in the league who has the same motions is He runs bases much the same way, and is fully as fast as the great Hans, but does not use the same judgment. Hence his success is not as great.
 Cobb, on the other hand, the finest base stealer of the American league. is a different type of base stealer. Ee jumps up and down. first motioning to the initial bag, and then making q feint for second. When he really gets going he seems to go like a sprinter in a 100 yard dash, exerting every mus cle, whereas Wagner almost slides along, after the fashion of a quarter miler.
 the greatest in baseball and is, with out a doubt. the most spectacular fea- ture. I believe that fan likes to see a base well stolen about as well as anything else in the game And the thrill which spreads over you when you do succeed in advancing a sack in that manner is even greater than in lacing out a two bagger, for it is out guessing the other team

1 When Alderman Stuart F. Douglas i of New York next visits his former | home and his friends in Norwich, aftel | July 4th, he will have something tc l talk about that will claim the atten- | tion of big coterie of listeners. Jacl | Johnson, champion heavyweight prlze | fighter, has chosen Alderman Douglas as his tfmekeeper for the fight with Jim Jeffries on July 4tlh.
 Douglas a Good Choice. The selection of Stuart F. Douglas as Johnson's timekeeper shows good sense on the part of the black cham pions says Chicago man in the Morn ing Telegraph. MT. Douglas, manager of a furniture company, and living at New Rochelle, Is one of the most ardent boxing fans in America A few years ago, when living in Chicago, he was official timekeeper of the Fort Dear born and Tattersa1l's club and held the watch for Sharlxey and ChoynSk1, Cans and McGovern, Mccoy and Me Cormick-in fact, for all the great bat ties decided in those historic days. He also refereed occasional combats and declined to referee about half of the matches decided around Chicago and the west, personal friendships, in most
 cases, making him turn down the of
 ferS.
 He helped bring out and push for
 ward Jimmy Barry. Billy Rotchford.
 Tommy Ryan, Harry Harris. Harry
 Forbes-probab1y half or more of the
 stars developed in the west during the
 past twenty years-and during all this
 time never accepted a nickel from a
 boxer, and never was even classed among the money grabbers of the sport
 Helped Johnson Years Ago.
 When Jack Johnson was enduring the stings and joltS of poverty long ago, Stuart Douglas was a generous friend and kindly adviser to the big black fellow, and Johnson now con- siders hib one of the best on earth. Tt isn't much can do for you, MT Doug Ias,'' Johnson says, but I'd like to have you referee, and, if I can't, want you, anyway, to be my timekeeper."
 While I 3. mwholly friendly with both Jeffries and Johnson.'' says MT. Douglas, my best judgment convinces me that the black man will win. think he will be the same old bearcat, the same terror that moved them down but I think this crafty, foot-sliding, catiike negro will whip him, whip him sure. I think that if Jeffries takes the fight to this fellow the black man will get him coming in, get him so hard and SO often that he will slacken tIp and lost his speed. I think that if Jeff tries to play the waiting game this negro will tease and stab him till he opens up and charges in-and then the end will come the same way. It looks all Johnson, in my opinion-anyhow, I'll be there, and, so far as a timekeeper can. I'll try to see that both giants get fair play.f'

 Ty Cobb led the American league last year in timely hitting. He drove in 115 runs in 156 games. This Is an aver age of .737. Wagner held similar hon. ors in the National league, driving in .745. Hummell was BrookIyn's star, being responsible for g runs. Earl Gardner Of the New York Americans batted in 16 runs in 22 games.
 The reason why some of the minor leagues fail to make the hit they should, says an exchange, is because they depend upon the major league castoffs and spurn young and promis- ing players. The latter they sell to the major leagues for high prices and tile '9las beens" are acquired at prices said to be more than their ability merits. However, a number of former major league stars have made good in the larger minor leagues.

MEMORIAL.
c. L. Virgins.

Pine Barren, Fla. April 10, 1910.

Pine Barren, Fla, April 10, 1910.
After several days delay with some
very serious illness in my family I de-
sire to express a few words in mem
orial. One of the most beautiful Gus
toms Of our people rs that of paying
grateful tribute to the memory of our
departed friends, and among those that
have gone from us into a bright and
more glorious beyond is c. l.. Virgins
who died at his home in Pine Barren,
Fla, March the 26th, 1910. l feel that
this task could be better filled by
some Of his closer associates, hut still
l cannot let time go by without saying
something to help to keep his memory
fresh. l first-met Mr. Virgins in Pol
lard, Ala, 26 years ago, and l remem-
Der well how manly he appeared, how
genial and pleasant he was to every
one. He had a wonderful faculty for
making friends. I have heard many
of the brightest men say that they &C
tually loved G. /. Virgins and know
of no greater praise than that. for love
is the most precious Of all earthly
treasures. He had identified himself
with every movement to advance ma
terial. social and the interests Of his
church. He was not the man to tarry
or lag in the march of fame. It is said
that death loves a shining mark, and it
certainly found one when c. l.. "4g-
gins was called to meet his God. He
was moving spirit and directing
force in many important issues, held
strong convictions and he had the
courage to assert and maintain them.
He was true to every cause ne
espoused, faithful to friends and gen
erous to all. There was for him no
compromise of what he thought was
right. No yielding Of principle, but
with force and energy was its positive
assertion manifested in dignifed and
honorable action. But he was stricken
suddenly with fatal disease. His de-
voted wife and relatives. aided by kind
friends, ministered faithfully to him
and medical science did is utmost,
