HOW JOHN Killing GOT START
Catcher of Chicago Cubs Says 1t Was
Partly His Own Fault and
Partly Bad Luck.
BY JOHN Killing.

Copyright, 1910, by Joseph B. Bowles.l
How did | get my start? Well, II
the young fellows who want to be-
much trouble getting started as | did
the crop will be short. | think it was
partly my own fault and partly bad
luck that l had so much trouble, and
the greater part of my fault was that
| neither knew my position nor knew
the game well enough. Perhaps l had
been spoiled by too much success as a
semi-profesional player before l trie
to get into professional baseball. Also
l had learned wrong in many things
and wanted to play my way instead
of playing the way the managers and
the experienced players did. 1t toog
me a long time to discover that per.
haps they knew more about it in the
organized leagues than we did in the
amateur ranks.
| don't remember the time / did not
play ball. | began about the time
started to school. l discovered when
| went to work that baseball helped
me lot l got job, and was adj
vanced faster and given better
chances than the fellows who did not
play, so I realized baseball was valu'
able as a side line.
After a time my friends began tell
ing me | was too good for the semi
pro game and advised me to go out
as pitcher. | was scared sick, being
very young, but l got a job at Rock
ford, ILL.,, and they fired me before
had my shoes broken in. That sent
me back to the semi-pro field. We
happened to need a catcher, and being
the captain l made myself catcher.
because we needed one, not because
was good.
/ 1t wasn't long until they told me
was too good catcher to stay around
Kansas City l took their word for ii
and went to the Texas league. The
only reason l quit there was because
the team refused to pay me. re
turned to the SchmeltZers again, and
after time signed with st. Joseph as
a catcher. | had learned lot, and
the biggest thing had learned was tc
keep cool and never lose my temper
I believe a catcher who can keep COO
can outthink anyone who lets either
temper or excitement get away with
him. The catcher need not be brain
Ter, but If he keeps thinking all the
time he will out-think the fellow who
loses his head part of the time.

While the little family group was

She was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring
her terribly. She drew away, thought

noticed also that even the appearance
of GOODNESS and steadiness on the
part of the catcher helps the pitcher
and helps the infeld. So even when
lost my head l tried to appear per-
fectly cool. After time it became
habit and part of the job.
When l learned that think really
was getting my start. l was at ST.
Joe only short time when Chicago
got me and brought me to the West
Side team. There, with Chance and
with smart pitchers, I got started
right.

A Touch of Family Life.

When the country youth proposed
to the city girl, he received the con-
ventional assurance that she would be
his sister. 1t happened that this youth
had sisters at home and knew exactly
his privileges. So he kissed her. At
this juncture she availed herself OF
the sisterly right to call out to father
that brother was teasing her. Father
responded in good, muscular earnest.
Then the new brother-and-sister rela-
ton was dissolved by mutual consent.

Northwestern received a severe set
back when Captain Manley was put
out of the game for the rest of the

he was unable to leave his bed.

As a picturesque and unpremedi- tated liar, one who can reel off falsehood with incomparable sang froid and as easily as the crystal flood precipitates itself OCT the dig zy height of Niagara, Jesus ortiz stands on an enduring pedestal, a unique figure in history. Yester- day morning early he was arrested on the charge of having stolen a watch the night before, was given early arraignment and prompt exam ination at his own request and re fusing counsel and waiving all rights responsive to a peremptory demand that he be sworn in his own state ment, on the evidence thereby ad- duced Justice P P Parker held him to answer to the next grand jury un- der a $500 bond which he could not furnish. Specifically. the charge is robbery.
 Jesus first appeared on the off cial horizon very early in the morn ing. in the vicinity of the county jail where he. confidently approached Jack Lynch. whose faithful service as 'trusty almost entities him to an official commission He told Lynch that he was very desirious of selling a watch he had bought in Nogales as he was in need of ready money and named what seemed to be a very reasonable price for it.

 You have heard it often. haven't you
 Probably said it yourself at times. And yet. have you ever stopped to consider just how and why the photograph in question did flatter her: how that flat tery was made possible; and how it was accomplished? Photographic flat tery is not accidental as any honest photographer will assure you. It is the result of enlisting the services of Venus by means of various little tricks with the camera and it's adjunct
 There is photographer in New York who has had much photographic sue cess with full-hngth portraits of un- galnly women. This photographer poses women frequently beside gar den fence-but not. as those who have seen the photographs in question think the same fence. The facts of the case are these: The photographer. keenly aware of the faults in the short ness or length of his subjects waist lines or the awkward length of their arms and similar physical defects that are hostile to the code of Venus. had six fences made, each being of differ ent height. In posing women, subse- quently he used that height of fence that would deceive the eye that saw the finished photograph If the subject. for example. had a particularly short waist the artist of the camera would pose her beside one of the fences the height of which would make her waist

START OF WORK AT

Central Avenue Residents Preparing to Make Additional Sub

Grading was commenced yesterday morning at the southern end of that portion of Central avenue that is being transformed into a boulevard. A twelve mule team was put at work blowing up the avenue and before quitting time nearly half mile had been graded.
 Work is still going forward at the north end but no rock had been laid since Trustee Lamson's plan for completing the boulevard was adopted last Tuesday. That portion on which work has been started will he completed in two or three days and then the entire force will be transferred to the south end.
 Rapid progress has been made to- ward raising money to complete the boulevard after the public funds are exhausted. Committees. are being or ganized in the various subdistricts established when the Lamson plan was adopted. and another committee of Phoenix business men is being organized to solicit subscriptions in the city
 Automobile owners are voluntarily offering to make subscriptions of from ten to twenty-five dollars because of hte good the boulevard will do them. It is certain that the automo- bilists will contribute a sum that will help a great deal
 Those owning property in the first sub-district, which extends from the Mcdowell Road to the Little Mari cOpa canal, have nearly all agreed to contribute g. per acre apiece.
 Already this district is paying S3S an acre for the boulevard. IL con tains 240 acres. therefore the addi- tional subscriptions will total S1.2OO
