II see,' said Clarke Griffith-at
least Clarke is credited with say
ing it-"that the scientists have
traced the game back to ancient
Egypt"
THAT right" queried big Larry
Mclean. Il thought it started in
1912 in New York"
Nope" said Griff. ut merely
came to life. The inscriptions on
the pyramids and on a tablet found
in the tomb of Sesostris prove
baseball was played $500 years
ago, and that the championship OF
the Egyptian league for 2673 B. G.
was settled by a five-game series
between Memphis adm Cairo"
'Ah, come on Clarke, what d'you
think l am? Memphis is in the
Southern league and Cairo's is in
the Kitty. They amt even in the
same circuit and never was"
And Clarke Griffith fell into the
handiest chair with a moan that
caused a scurrying among the bell
hops for restoratives.
Greatest of his day was Tim
Keefe. the pitching sta rof the
Giants when they deserved the
name-the same being in the days
of Ewing, Keefe, Herman, WEIGH
and the rest of that great aggre-
cation. Speed, control, change OF
pace, fast breaking curves, nerve
Tim had them all--and slow bail
that caused more backaches than
hOd carrying.
According to Pop Arson, Tim
Keefe had in his repertoire a ball
that acted like a spitball. But it
wasn't a spitball. When Keefc
was coaching the Harvard pitch
ers he showed them this slow ball,
which he held in the palm Of his
hand, gripping 1t with his thumb.
How he controlled the ball is a
mystery, for while he tried to show
it to the sons of John Harvard, not
a man could make it behave.

DRY CANYON ROCK

Another Car Marketed From
Well-KnOwn Old Mine
of the State.

In the early days OF mining operations
In Dry Canyon, Utah. great fame vas
brought to the state through the rich
cha racter OF the silver ore of this former
active part OF mineral Utah. The ore
was nearer bullion than rock. and mod
ern operations arc bringing something
like the old style OF ore TO view. This
Is especially true with the Dry Canyon
Mining company, which Is now operating
the noted old Kearsarge property.
III. M. Eakin, superintendent of the
company. and who, with Judge j. f..
Darmer and s, r. Armstrong, owns the
control of the company, is in the city
seeing to the sale OF another car of ore
from recent work. The car assayed as
follows: Gold O,34 ounces, silver. 46
ounces lead 27.S per cent. copper, SO
per cent; iron, 1i.a per cent. This ore
comes from the incline which is now
900 feet In depth. and associated with
this rock is streak OF ore five to seven
inches In width. which assays as high as
900 ounces silver TO the ton. Mr..
Eakin says that he has about onc-half
a ton OF this richer rock now sacked
and he Will make d shipment of IT, with

UP to tho present time the Interna-
tional Smelling & Refining company has
been little more than a name to the Utah

pronounced factor in the local situation is
the fact that 1t Is already receiving ore
at its big bins In Tooele county. Ship

when the new tramway of the Utah Con-

to transport copper ores from Bingham,
The tramway has been in the hands
of the Trenton Iron company for the past
four weeks to enable tins firm to grind
down any rough edges that might eX-

and have IL mighty close to the point
where the Utah Consolidated company
can take It over for the performance of
its logical task Is thought certain by visl
tors from Bingham, and the fact that the
tram is now delivering ores is proof OF
It's utility.

RAILROAD NEWS HURT
NEW YORK MARKET

James A. Pollock & Co.. bankers and
brokers, furnish the following, received
over their private wire yesterday after
noon:
New York Sun says: For the third sue
ccssive day this week the stock market
was weak and active at rapid declines
in prices The opening was uniformly
at an advance over last nights close
although quotations failed TO rise to the
upturn was not convincing and failed to
stimulate buying, and during the greater
part OF the forenoon the trading was
feverish and the tone OF the list was ner-
vous, with marked contraction In the
volume of business compared with cor
responding period yesterday. Toward mid
day prices began TO tumble In the rail
road department, led by the Hartman
Pacifics, and presently an almost de-
moralzed slump was under way, After
a feeble rally in the early part OF the
afternoon the market made another fur
ther downward plunge. With the excep
mated and Smelling. the Industrial quar-
ter was again much stronger than rail-
road issues, but the market whole
recorded for the week so far the most
violent depression which 1T has sustained
since the beginning OF the year. II was
made to bear unQuestionably the weight
of a good deal OF necessary liquidation
as result of damage which the decline
has done TO speculative accounts. al
though there was little doubt in minds of
careful observers that the fresh weak
ness was stimulated by selling OF a more
important character than that which Is

just before the session adjourned Mr..
