LEMONS IN DEALS
Seldom Does a Trade of Play
ers Turn Out Satisfactorily
to Both Sides.
STRONG POINT WITH CUBS
In Nearly Every Case Chicago Ma
tionals Have Profited by En-
changes Made.

Baseball history is full of trade in
which one club was stung badly, and
! there are really only a few instances
where both clubs apparently had rea-
son to be satisfied. Rather queer when
it is known that seldom are trades
made on the spur of the moment.
Sometimes the interested managers
and magnates will spar for weeks and
months before completing the details,
and then one party discovers that it
has been beautifully gold bricked.
The Chicago Nationals have always
had the better of their trades. For in
stance, Murphy several years ago trad
ed Buttons" Briggs. Jimmy Casey.
Jack Mccarthy and Billy Maloney for
Jimmy Sheckard. Sheckard is still
with the Cubs, while the other four
have passed out of the big leagues,
some of them being even out of the
game now. Chicago also gave Bob
Wicker for Overall. The latter is one
of the Cubs mainstays in the box,
while Wicker has been in the minors
for several years.
Another deal that worked to the
advantage of the Cubs was that where
by MordeCai Brown became a member
of the Cubs along with Catcher O'Neil
in exchange for Pitcher Jack Taylor.
O'Neil and Pitcher Pfeiffer were soon
exchanged for Catcher Moran. Did
Murphy and Chance get the better of
those deals? Well, very much so.
Brown has been one of the greatest
pitchers the game has known since
Joining the Cubs. while Moran, who
was recently sold to Philadelphia, has
been an able assistant to King and
Archer. As for the others, they are
now minor leaguerS or have quit the
game. Then the Chicago men put an
other over on Cincinnati when they
acquired Steinfeldt for Pitcher Wei
MGR, who was recently released out
right bv No. NC~1,.
Where Boston Lost.
A couple of years ago New YORK re
leased a big bunch of players to Bos-
ton in exchange for Tenney and Bird
well. Tenney is now playing in the
minor leagues. but Bridwell is still in
his prime while the players let out to
Boston are down and cutters.
year ago the big clubs that won
Tue DIG league peuldHlS 1Oullu II htN-
essary to make some trades in order
to strengthen several weak points.
Pittsburg traded Barbeau and Storke
for Byrne. The latter was just the
man needed at the third corner. but
st. Louis has nothing to show for the
deal, Storke dying, while Barbeau has
been sent to Kansas City.
Detroit pulled off two transactions
that shoy, ed that David Harum did
not have a whole lot on Hughey Jen-
nings. First he sent Schaefer and
Killifer to Washington for Delehanty.
The latter has put up splendid game
at second ever since and was the
champion batter of the worlds series.
Schaefer and Killifer, however. have
failed to distinguish themselves at
Washington. Then Jennings gave
Rossman for Tom Jones. Jones is one
of Detroit's mainstays today, while
RosSman is a minor Lacquer.
A year ago Cleveland gave Ryan
and Chech to Boston for Cy Young,
there being also a cash consideration.
Young has not been Of service this

ST Louis, July 22.-Pitcher Arthur
Raymond and Manager McGraw of the
New York Nationals clashed here yes
terday afternoon and the pitcher is
suffering from a discolored optic as a
result When he reported at the ball
park his condition displeased McGraw,
who ordered him to remove his uni
form. Raymond refused and mix-up
was precipitated by McGraw, from
which Raymond emerged second best.
Later he removed his uniform and
left the clubhouse.

Way to Boucher.
The Chicago fans cOnstrue Frank
Chances attempt to get Third Base
man Boucher of the st. Paul (Ameri-
can association club as another signal
of distress. Should the deal be made
it will probably mean the passing Of
Harry lSteinfeldt, the Cubs veteran
third sacker. Boucher is considered
one of the best third basemen in the
association. He formerly played with
the Little Rock (Southern association
club under Jack O'Connor, now man
ager of the Browns.
President Murphy has secured an op-
ton on Bouchers services, holding
good until Aug. 20, and he may wear
q Cub uniform after that date.

Bloomington. Ill, July 22-(SpeciaD
With the score to 0 in favor Of the
champs and everything running
smoothly Queisser stubbed his toe in
the sixth inning yesterday, and before
he got Strengthened up and going
again six Boomers were across the
plate. Frank Lakaff hurried to the
rescue, but arrived too late. The final
count was to 4
The Islanders did well to score four
runs, in view of the brand of ball
Roger was pitching. Had it not been
for the one unfortunate session the
quartet would have been amply suffi-
cient. 1t was booster day for Bloom
ington and the crowd was cOnsidera-
bly, augmeI-~d.
In the third inning Melchior missed
Snyder's grounder, Vogel forced the
runner at second on bunt and Roger
walked Queisser and Callahan, filling
the bags. Davidson hit to Staten, who
threw to first, Snyder scoring on the
out Then Manusch rolled an easy
one safe through the infield and Queis-
ser and Callahan came home. Manusch
died trying to steal.
In the seventh Kelly hit safely, took
second on Snyder's out, and scored
when Nunamaker threw wild to first
on a short hit in front of the plate by
Vogel.

without advancing anybody, but Erwin
lined one just far enough back of Sny-
der and far enough in front of Cana
han SO that neither could reach it, and
Long and Nunamaker galloped home,
tying the score. Staten fell against
the sphere for triple, the ball going
far over Davidson's head while Mel
chior and Erwin came over This long
drive settled the fate of Queisser. La

the performance with a wild pitch and
Staten registered the sixth run. Roger
flew to right and Goodwin whitfield. Long

70 Improve Roads in Alaska.

To Improve Roads in Alaska.
The report OF Major w. p. Rich-
rdson, of the United States Army,
Who is at the head of the Alaska road
commission, contains a suggestion
which, II properly carried out, may
be of benefit.
The mining laws OF the United
States. and applicable to Alaska, re-
quire that when a mine is located on
Government land, development work
shall be performed to the extent OF
at least 800 per year until the patent
be issued. This work Is required as q
demonstration Of the continuous good
faith Of the locator, and to prevent
the tying up of properties for an in
definite time.
Major Richardson's suggestion is
that such development work be per-
mitted to be done on roads leading
to such mines at the option OF the
locator. In many instances the con-
struction Of a road to the property
| costs as much as opening the mine,
| and the road must be built before the
mine can become operative. Besides,
the development of the mine can be
accomplished at greatly lessened
cost If there be a good road leading
to the property.
In the transition from prospect to
mine a road necessarily plays an
important part. The carrying out of
the suggestions of Major Richardson
will require legislation by Congress.
