Kick Over the Scorer.

Chattanooga has the only non
newspaper official scorer in the South
ern league and it is said that compli-
cations may arise between the sport
writer's and the club owners If
change is not made. The local scorer
was appointed last February, when he
was employed on local paper. Since
then he has resigned from the paper
and retired from newspaper work. He
still retains the position and one Of
the local papers is said to have openly
threatened not to support the club If
the scoring job was left outside of the
newspaper profession.

Red Wilma Team Fined 500.

For playing agains. the Logan
Squares in Chicago April 10 the
Red Wing, Mimi, team has been
fined $500 by the national association,
according to word received from Sec
rotary Farrell of Auburn, N. Y. The
offense was for invading protected
territory and playing without the con.
sent of both major league clubs in
Chicago. Manager Malloy of Red
Wing received permission from Pres
ident Comiskey of the Sox, but was
unable to see President Murphy OF
the Cubs, although he made efforts.
Red Wing played anyway, but the fine
was made small, because Malloy did
make an effort to secure permission.

HOW 1 WIN

Catcher Philadelphia National

Hustle!
I think that one word covers the
greatest part of how to win baseball
games.
The player who is in the game
every minute, hustling, working hard
and thinking all the time, thinking
ahead and planning what is to come,
is the winning player, whether or not
he Is as capable man, as fast man,
or as good hitter as the other fell
low. The best player in the world
cannot win without hustling.
think it is hard work and study
that wins games and makes good ball
players, just as 1t Is hard work and
study that wins in any other trade or
profession. There is much to learn
and much to do, and unless a player
studies the game and keeps pace with
it's progress in all lines he cannot win,
no matter how good he may be me-
chanically.

Joe Holland, business manager of G,

funny story on John McCloskey. John
is baseball bug of the first water.
He regains his mental equilibrium
every year the day after the season

Paul, after the Brewers had played
two and lost one game, John hustled
up to Joe in the lobby of the hotel
and, rubbing his hands, remarked:

well. The latter variety is entirely free
from spines and the flesh is much
more tender and juicy. 1t grows to a
large size; specimens from IL to IA
inches in length and Is inches in cir
conference are found here. The larger
ones command as much as rs Ameri-
can cents each, and the demand is far
ahead of the supply.
The most profitable orange planta-
lions are those planted in fruits of the
citrus varieties. All of them will -four
ish in attitudes up to $500 feet and
bear plentifully. The sour orange and
the lemon grow wild in the forests in
great abundance and bear fruit the
greater part Of the year; the trees are
extremely hardy and free from insect
attacks and furnish excellent grating
stock, which may be had in unlimited
quantities. Shipments of oranges are
comparatively light as yet. During 1908
oranges were shipped to total value
OF $33,417 gold. The oranges grown
are, as rule, seedlings, rather small.
but of good flavor. Others grown in
the Tialiscoyan section are famous for
their exquisite flavor. The fine Califor-
mia and Florida varieties grow vigor-
ously and are excellent bearers. The
crop comes in about October; much
ripe fruit, however, is found as early
as August and September, and again,
ripe fruit is often gathered in January
and February. Budded oranges are
large in size, beautiful in appearance,
and of fine flavor. They would COM
mand the highest prices on any mar
ket.
Another enterprise that promises
great inducement to planters is the cul-
tivation of the lemon The trees grow
rapidly and begin to bear the second
year. The fruit is large and of SUI
perior quality. Trees are laden with
fruit all the year round; some trees
have not been without abundance of
fruit for seven wears. No cultivation
is attempted. yet the trees are vigor-
GUS and grow to a large size. The fruit
is compact and stands shipment re-
markably well. Lemons will thrive on
any soil and at all attitudes up to 1000
feet above sea level.
The grape fruit pays the planter
well. The trees grow to large size
and are most prolific bearers. Trees
have been known to carry 1000 fruits
at about seven years, the branches
covering space of not less than IS
feet in diameter and being bent under
the weight of the fruit. The average
size of the fruit was over four inches,
and it was compact and fine.
The only question open to discussion
as to the profits of the fruit business
in this country is that of marketing
the crop and the kinds that will best
stand shipping. AS there have been no
crops to market, naturally no facilities
have been provided for handling any
large amount of fruit. There is plenty
of push in transportation companies.
but business must be In sight before
they could be expected to supply the
facilities.

and win honestly and fairly, not to
seek favors or anything else, but to
deliver for the manager if / can. AS
l remember it, I was not a very good
catcher when l started, and If l had
been content with that, or fooled into
believing l was good enough would
have been back there yet. What sue
cess have had has been due to hard
work and hustling every minute.
Hustle, luck and the combination of
good pitching and hitting always has
turned out winner and always will
continue to do so. Few know what an
element luck is In the closely matched
leagues. To win a team must have
at least an even break in the luck. l
used to think the luck broke in
strange ways, and followed one club,
while i'll fortune pursued another. In
studying the game, however, it struck
me that what we call luck always
seems to hang around the team that
is hustling hardest-which proves
that it isn't luck at all. The fellow
who is hustling and thinking always
happens to be near when luck"
makes the opportunity, and he i'm
proves it while the other fellow, who
is not going as hard loses the chance
to force the luck and perhaps change
the entire game.
The hustling team always has the
best team work, and the force of ex-
ample of few hustlers stirs up the
entire club and keeps it going fast,
even when there are some men on it
who would rather take things easily.
Team work, of course, is essential.

Fish Caught by Anchor Chain.


A remarkable catch of big fish in
Chesapeake bay Is reported by the Of
ficers of the Norwegian steamer Tan
cred, lying at Baltimore. The steamer
was on her way up the bay and came
to anchor off Sandy point over night.
Next morning when her anchor was
being raised the mate, who was watch
ing the cable come in, saw something
wriggling in the water. The entire
chain was hoisted in a little further
and 1t was seen that big fish had
been caught in one of the links.
A man was sent over the side, and
when he came back he had fine
Chesapeake bay mackerel weighing
over five pounds. The fish was dressed
and served for the cabin dinner. 1t is
supposed that the fish in chasing prey
ran into the link Of the chain and
wedgsd itself so tight that it could not
get loose.

1N THE following report Consul Will
liam w. Canada of Vera Cruz de-
scribes the leading tropical fruits
of southern Mexico which are
readily grown and may be shipped
considerable distances. In the
state of Vera Cruz, from the coast up
to an altitude of $500 feet above sea
level, conditions for fruit culture pre-
vail which are better than any to be
found in any region further north OF
the Pacific slope of this republic; but
these facts SEINE to have been entirely
overlooked by investors and no serious
attempt has yet been made to develop
its fruit industry. While in the north
eastern part Of the republic in many
places it is necessary to irrigate the
lands and the orchards are annually
exposed to danger from frosts, the
southerly region, along he coast of the
Ferrocarril Vera Cruz al Istmo, has
abundant rainfall and is free from cold
sufficient to injure the fruit trees in
digenous to this part or those which
have SO long grown in Mexico as to be
considered as almost native to the
soil. The Importance of these two
facts can scarcely be overestimated in
the consideration of fruit culture.
Among the native fruits are num-
Der which grow in profusion, which
will easily stand shipping, and which
aro almost unknown to the outside
world, while their delicious flavor
would insure them a ready market at
remunerative prices, as they come in
when fruits are not abundant in other
localities.
The guayaba or guava, Psydium sp,
which is native to this section, offers
great possibilities to the cultivator of
t. opical fruits. The guayaba is found
nearly everywhere throughout the trop-
ical region, but as yet little or nothing
has been done toperfect the fruit by Gull
tivation. In all parts of the gulf slope
it flourishes, growing in dense thickets
in many places. Naturally the fruit in
it's wild state is rather small and in
ferior in other respects, but when the
tree is given fair chance, even with
out cultivation, 1t attains height of
from Is to 10 feet, and the fruit will
be from two to three inches in dame
ter. Its flavor is well known through
the famous guava jelly. There are sew
eral varieties Of this fruit, the most
common varieties being the red apple
shaped and the yellow pear-shaped.
The pineapple is cultivated to a con-
siderable extent in the region border
ing on the gulf, near Vera Cruz, and
with satisfactory results. 1t grows to
a good size and Is of fine flavor; It
seems to flourish at any altitude un-
der 1000 feet above sea level, and
comes into bearing in one year. There
are two varieties grown in this section
the common variety, which was
found at an early period in the history
of Mexico and is most extensively
grown, and larger variety, called the
cayenne, which is not so widely dis
tributed, but is of much greater merit.
The former, although small, is solid
and compact pine and stands shipment

THE DICK RICHARDS LETTER

In another column we reprint from
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader fair
minded and suggestive criticism by II.
O. Richards of the &C ion of some of the
progressive republican leaders at the re-
cen. state convention at Sioux Falls. 1t
will repay reading by all and our coll
umns are open to any republican who
may wish 10 comment on it in the same
spirit.
AS a pronounced progressive, Mr..
Richards calls attention TO the neces-
Sity Of maintaining consistent and legal
party regularity, This is feature of
the primary Law that is frequently neg
lected or sighted by the self.styled
progressive element, which makes this
sugges ion by an advanced progressive
all the more valuable. Mr. Richards is
severe perhaps in his structures on the
failure +, make the February and The
July platforms harmonic, but it is a
case demanding plain words. He
shows conclusivelv that the features
omitted in The Sioux Falls platform ara
in line with the commission form Of
government ana directly in the interests
of the people. The whole letter is a
strong plea for the destruction Of the
personal spoils system and would do
much to Interfere with the possibility
of constructing a pDIltical machine
through the appointive privilege. 1t
will not meet with much favor from the
professional politicians, however for
that very reason.

February "a. 1910, upon which we APP
pealed to the people with our candidates
and secured control of the convention,

also in direct violation of written
