Raccoon; Road
Matters.

! Las Cruces, n. NJ, Oct. 5.-Water is
reported in the river and in the gov
! errment canal from the Leasburg dam,
! but what there is is very muddy and
almost brick red in color. There is not
enough to reach even to the division
point of the Las Cruces and Mesilla
bitches, but it is thought that this Is
the forerunner of larger supply.
]. I. Mccullough, NJ. J. Daily and
Charles E. Head returned yesterday
from the Stephenson-Bennett mine in
the Organ mountain mining district,
and this morning went to Ell Paso,
from where Mr.. DAILY and Mr.. Head
will return to their homes. Mr.. Head
is vice president of the company own
ing the mine and lives at McAlester,
Okla. Mr.. DAILY is a mining expert
from Salt Lake City, Utah, and came
down with Mr.. Head to make an ex-
animation of the mine. 1t is under
stood that as soon as Mr.. Head reaches
home and can call a meeting of the
directors of the company, money viii
be raised to pump the water from
the mine and work will be resumed on
the property.
r. S. B. Washington Of FL Paso is
in the city to present to the county

Tom Edwards, who was excused
from jury duty on account Of the seri-
Gus illness of his wife, returned to

Samuel ]. Cawley of New York city,
who is eX-president and treasurer of
the Umbrella trust, returned to his
home by way of FL Paso. Mr.. Cawley
is interested in the Philadelphia COM
pany's mining properties in the Organ
mountains east of here, and came down
several days ago to look over the
camp and to visit his daughter, Mrs.
P. B. Davis, wife of the manager Of
the property. Mrs. Davis fell from
the steps of the house on the Chip
pewa claim and broke her kknee cap.
AS it was not healing satisfactorily
her father took her back to New York
with him for surgical treatment. Mr..
Davis accompanied them as far as FL
Paso.
w ]. Woodruff has a pet coon at his
quarters in the Park hotel that has
attracted considerable attention lately.
The animal was caught when it was
quite young and has been tanned so
that it follows people around like a
dog, and likes to be petted just as a
kitten does Capt Woodruff, however. |
is in a quandary just at present over
his pet on account of the fact that !
there are a. number of newly Matched j
chickens in the hotel yard and the coon |
has taken too much of a liking to the /
little things. He was found under the [
veranda with one yesterday and had /
been making a hearty meal So it has |
developed into a question of either
getting rid of the coon or the chick
ems.

piece may get through the season
with but few errors charged to
him, and when the averages are
published he will rank higher than
the brainy man who has made er-
rors, but who as matter of fact
is the superior ball player.
The bone-headed ball tosser,
the man whose thinking machine
refuses to work or is apparently
permanently clogged, should be
penalized by an error, as he would
be If he dropped an easy chance in
the field. This of course would
mean some trouble for the scorers,
but they are accustomed to having
trouble enough to keep them from
becoming bored with life, and it
would only be fair to the brain
men Of the game. Also 1t might
serve to stir the dull-witted play
ers and give them an added incen-
tive for Kidding their brain mech
anism of kinks.
With the pitchers I would sug-
gest their general efficiency be
counted, not the number of
games won and lost. Base the
estimate of the pitchers ability on
the number of hits per game, bases
on balls, batters struck out, and
his fielding and batting ability,
and you will get a truer line on the
mans real form than is possible
under the present system of fig
uring up the pitching averages.

ny ats
It is more than probable that
before the bell taps for the open
ing of the base ball season in
1911, there will be some radical
changes in scoring rules. That
changes are badly needed, particu-
larly in rules on which averages
are based, is admitted by all those
who follow the national game.
Take the case of pitcher like
Walter Johnson with the Washing
ton outfit. There is no doubt that
Johnson is one of the best pitchers
in the game, but il his percentage
of games won each season were
taken as criterion of his ability,
his ranking would be low. This is
the fault of the team, not the
pitcher. Put Johnson on a win
ming team and he would rank as
high as the pitchers whose names
appear at the top of the list. The
present system is unfair to pitch
ers who are unfortunate in being
on weak teams.
Then there should be some
changes in the scoring rules by
which ball players guilty of bone
headed plays could and would be
charged with them, the same as
they are for making an error. A
man may make lot of errors and
still be a good ball tosser, a valu-
able man for team, while your
player with the solid bone head
