SCOUTING HOMOGENEOUS.
Major League Teams Have Several

Major League Teams Have several
Men on the Road Looking for New
Players.
Some years ago very few major
league baseball teams thought 1t nee
essary to employ man to travel
around the country and watch the
young players
OF course c'tI! am had number
of exper,s scattelc about among the
leagues who, is tic! CHANGED to see IL
likely lok.ug youngster, wo Id pat the
manager wise. h.. today, SO desperate
has becoGe the g. ut for big league
timber, there Is aot Clue in either
of the MAJ ~ It, IS that mas not Il
couple Of reH on the road looking
after their interests.
No small part Vi the success of one
of the big league teams depends on
the ability of its scouts that is, the
men who go all over the country look
ing out for likely material No town
or league is too small for these watch
ers to visit.
For, as Is well known. many a star
ball player has been picked up in
some town that had never been hea I'd
of, and come into fame only through
the baseball ability of its son.
Thought Wagner Pitcher.
There are many interesting little
tales connected with the discoveries
OF great baseball players.
Hans Wagner was signed up as a
pitcher on one of the small league
aggregations and seemed doomed to
g. back to the uniuteresting and quiet
LIE of tie country village until his
wise manager thought that perneps he
might be able to play somewhere else,
so gave him a tryout.
And Hans has been famous ever
since. Larry Lajoie. Jimmy Collins.
Iris Speaker--in fact, nearly all the
great ones-have been landed by some
worthy scout whose chance or fate
brought them to the village where
these embryonic stars were astound-
ing their fellow citizens.
A MOnotOnOus Job.
To one not acquainted with the life
the work OF a scout must look very
easy and pleasant.
1t would seem that travelling about
the country. watching ball games
with all expenses paid, was very de-
sirable sort of life.
But in reality it's not as fine as il
looks. After awhile it gets very mon
otonous jumping from one little town
TO another. putting up with all kinds of
motel accommodations spending the
greater part of your time on hot. stuffy
trains or arguing with ayaricious
minor league managers,
Then there is another point to be
considered. If scout who Is ON the
road picks out number of men and
not one of them shows sufficient
class, he has put his club to great ex-
pense, all for nothing.
Say, for instance, he is on the coas,
and sends player to one of the biz
Teams In the Eastern leagues.
The youngster will cost several
thousand dollars, while the expense nj
transportation, etc, will amount to No
inconsiderable figure.

Length OF Time without Injecting
Oil Into Each Cylinder-Use Some
While Engine Is Running.
When a car comes in from run
the engine Is very free and can be
started easily. but after standing for
three or four days some difficulty will
be experienced in cranking because the
oil has thickened around the rings and
the engine is so stiff that the shaft
cannot be turned fast enough to get a
good suction from the carburetor.
Kerosene is the best oil to loosen
piston rings, and little injected into
each cylinder at the time the engine is
stopped from a run will greatly assist
in starting the next time, whether 1t
is a day or week from the time the
car was last used
The kerosene should be injected into
the engine while it is running, and the
only way to do this is to introduce the
oil where the suction of the engine
will take 1t into the cylinders. The
best place to have the Oil enter the
cuItioh pipC 10 At oOiuC punt hCll
the engine, and for this purpose much
me most convenient way is to mt u
small pet cock with cup attached to
the manifold, through which the liquid
can be introduced into the cylinders
while the engine is running.
For an ordinary four cylinder en-
CINE one-half teacupful will be suf-
ficient. When the proper amount OF
oil has been supplied the pet cock
should be closed and the throttle
opened and the engine run at top
I speed for a few seconds till the kero-
sene is cleared out of the cylinders
This will be evident because the car
will smoke violently for a brief period
after the throttle is opened and the
speed increased. When the smoke has
disappeared one can consider the
cylinders cleared.
! With this treatment the engine will
stand for week or more and be as
free and easy to turn as when it is

Autos Helping Farmers.

Instead of being antagonistic to the
automobile, as he was Il few years ago
the farmer today is asking the auto
mobilst to cooperate with him in his
efforts for improved highways The
government experts are making ex-
haustive tests in road construction
work. The inevitable results of these
tests will be new methods of road con-
Etruction which will give us road sur
faces to withstand all kinds of traffic.

the case when the piston and rings are

not seem to matter how good an oil
may be. 1t always sets little on the
rings and cylinder walls after long
rest. This precaution also has the eff
feet of reducing carbon deposits in
the cylinders and tends to keep the in

completion OF all long runs.

MENAGERIE A GREAT SCHOOL.
Circus Holiday a Very Important
Factor In Educational Way.

An hour can always be spent in
circus menagerie with great pleas
ure and educational advantage to stu
dents of natural history. There is no
limit to the lessons to be learned
there in comparative zoology. The
trouble is that people are afraid to
ask questions of employees of the
common run of shows for fear of dis
courteous replies. A great deal Of
interesting and odd information is
thus lost.
There need be no fear of such
treatment when the Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers circus comes to town
on Monday, August 8. The manage
ment of this show has introduced a
new feature in their geological tent.
All visitors are received and con-
Quoted through the various aisles and
avenues among the pens and cages
by uniformed lecturers, especially
engaged to answer all questions and
impart further information, while ex-
perienced trainers demonstrate many
strange facts.
This is the only circus in the coun-
try that gives any special attention
or thought to patrons beyond permit
ting them to wander around for a
short while among the animals and
then try to squeeze into the main
tent if they can. They are given no
assistance whatever With this show
it is the aim to amuse people. to in
struct them, and by all means to
make them comfortable. If one uses
his eyes and is not afraid to ask
questions, he will pick up any am
cunt of odd information.
For example. he will learn that a
giraffe can utter Nc sound and can
go longer than a camel without food
and water; that an elephant does not
smell with it's trunk and can feel the
bite of fly; that camels are bred in
Siberia; that hippopotamus exudes
blood from it's pores when angry;
that the male ostrich sits on the
eggs; that the female kangaroo car
ries it's young in a pouch; that q
rhinoceros eats less than dog; that
the best Oriental lace is made from
the hair of the yak; that the South
African vlak vaark, or wart hog. has
warts on it's nose only during times
of plenty and when hard times come
the warts disappear; that there are
two distinct feathers on every quill

Tigers Cannot Boast.

The Detroit team never really boast
ed of high-class set of slabmen. Bill
Donovan and George Mullin have been
mainly responsible for the three Tiger
victories in pitching way Donovan
was the big noise the first year the
team landed on top.
He backed up in 1908. but Jennings
was fortunate in having Mullin round
to form, after several years of just
fair success. Mullin was also the main
reason the Tigers won their third PEN
nant a year ago. With just fair
twirling corps the Tiger batters saw
to it that the runs made by the oppo-
stion were usually overcome.
Now the same fair pitching staff has
further slipped and the result is that
Jennings team has not only to fight
against weak pitching odds, but much
of the dash. spirit and fight of the
players is lost as we'll
The same thing goes for the Pirates
of Pittsburg. the worlds champions.
Fred Clarke was considered lucky in
landing the Smoketown team in front
in 1909. He beat the barrier, having
his team in excellent shape at the
start of the campaign, while the Cubs
of Chicago were slow in getting start
ed because of the failure of several
of Chances pitchers to perform. up to
their standard. Then Clarke had a
good set of fingers the remainder of
the season. With the big lead gained

enough to keep the Pirates ahead OF

REV. FISHERS
OPENING sermon

"On what we think OF ourselves
hangs all our theology and philoSo-
ply said Frederick Vlnlng Fisher,
tho now pastor of the Methodist
church. yesterday morning In his ser
mon on What Is Man?"
He spoke in part as follows.
The world has three well known
theories OF man which have vast in
fluence today In all modern life: the
civic. the commercial, the material
istic. Tho patriot insists we are born
To cast bullets OF TO be targets for bull
lets; the business world, that We are
made TO be hands In the worlds fac
tories, while learned science and gay
pleasure often insist We are but mon
key-bred and live TO be fed and
amused
IF these theories are true. then
the church has little place In life.
But Christianity is here with far
larger View OF man II insists that
We are God-made, the kin Of God Him
self. that VIC are more than citizens
OF time, but are men of eternity; that
We are more than moDeymakers. but
empire builders, more than animals,
but sons OF God and that towering
above all the universe lies the posi-
bllities OF manhood.
Il came TO Ogden 10 preach this
gospel TO exalted manhood. It is the
chief business of the church TO build
men. The conservation of men is
bigger than the conservation of mines
or forests, and It Is the supreme task
set before America in these days"
