Ore Blocked Out.

The Pacific claims. which adjoin the
Dell. have an immense tonnage of
milling ore blocked out, and at pres
ent they are saeking a good grade Of
lead sulphides. which run in silver
values. The strike is holding out be-
yond the most sanguine expectations
OF the management. The ore they are
sending down is almost pure steel ga
lena, and viii net the company more
than $50 per ton. II is known that
the United States people have exported
this property a number of times the
past season, and it would be no sur
prise if they should gain control of it
in the near future.
The coming of such people as the
United States company To the district
is just what the district needs, for
there is no question but that the camp
has merits, and that with systematized
development work. some of the best
mines in the state will be opened up,
and il is hard for them 10 get enough
money 10 properly develop the prop

son, some properties shipping a car or
two TO help pay expenses taking the
ore out, in most instances, at great ex-
pense, where If they had more money
TO properly work the ground it could
be done more economically and al a
much better profit.

New York Jan. 2e.-They are printing
obituaries and "he was a good fellow

indomitable old warrior himself is not

Hereafter, Arson will make his home

nrovess at billiards in the winter and
plotting a scmi-professionaI baseball team

years he cannot content himself with

Carlisle, Pa, Jan 22-The determine
ton Of the authorities at the Carlisle
Indian School TO abolish baseball as a
representative sport for the Indians came
as the result of a painstaking investiga-
ton into the accomplishments OF the
Redmen I'm this branch of sport. The
history of baseball at the Carlisle Indian
School, as well as the performances OF
the baseball players who have left Car
Isle. have indicated that the Indian is
not temperamentally suited 10 become
baseball player because Of his well-knoWu
characteristics OF unsteadiReSs and care
Iessness in athletic sports whereas
good ball player must be both careful and
steady. and in addition his weakness in
withstanding the temptations which sur
round professional ball players on every
hand.
The fearless and reckless disposition
Of the Indian makes him a successful
factor in football. lacrosse, and those
athletic sports which give opportunity
for the taking Of long chahces. especially
those involving an element of risk Of
personal injury, and where spontaneous
exhibitions OF great physical exeruon are
factors.
Then, too, Carlisle has been forced TO
suppress baseball because the heads OF
the school players are often turned BY
offers they receive during the summer
from minor leagues and semi-profsssional
team managers. 20 such an extent that
the boys are often mred away before

The history Of the game at Carlisle

ANOTHER ONE ON LYNCH.
Bill LanEe Tells Interesting story
on League President.

Bill LANCE tells another story on Tom
Lynch. the new president Of the National
League. I'VE used 90 have quite a little
fun with Tom Lynch when he was umpir-
Ing" unused Bill. AS I have said before,
he was strict as the old Harry. but. being
a serious-mindCd fellow. we kidded him a
lot fin a quiet way. There was little
racket at Boston ] won't forget. tt was
funny. The Boston club has a super
stition that the broom which the umpire
used in busting off the plate must rest,
when not in use on the side toward third
base. Some Boston fan put us wise TO it.
After a Boston player had busted off the
plate he would toss the broom toward
third They had an idea that they
couldn't win with the broom resting in
any other place Well after we got wise
to this the fun started. Every time a
Chicago man went to bat we pitched the
broom toward first base after busting the
pan. Then "a Boston player would fire it
back. Finally the two teams had a regu-
lar college rush over the broom and we
finished by breaking the handle of the
dust remover in two pieces. After the
damage had been done ! suggested that
we compromise by allowing one half OF
the handle to lie on one side of the plate
and the other half on the other. Lynch
was crazy over the rush and ended mat
tiers by firing the broom out Of the
grounds The next day Lynch appeared
with a little brush broom. which he car
ried in hfs hip pocket. He took no more
chances of the players getting into a
row."

By ". J. Travis. in American Golfer.
The Southern Golf Association recently
announced a DOGGY competition, which
has one or two extraordinary features.
The conditions in full are printed else
where. There are two points which are
particularly noteworthy. Each team
plays against the DOGGY Of its own course;
and while the majority Of the clubs play
on a certain specified date several others
are granted permission TO play couple
OF days later.
Now. what is DOGGY? DOGGY has been
defined as what an ordinarily good PLAYER
can do a hole IN This. OF course, is very
elastic.
AS a general rule, the DOGGY OF a course
is largely governed by the quality of play
of the best men in the club. The lower
the standard Of. play the higher the DOGGY.
Now. it matters little, within reason
able limits, what the DOGGY of any course
is for legitimate competitions. All con-
tes5ants are playing against the same
thing on the same day. under Ike con-
ditions. But it does make a vast differ
ence when a dozen or more teams are
playing on as many different courses how
the DOGGY OF each course has been arrived

way and no two clubs may adopt the
