tratiOnS, and for the creation OF addl-
tional and unnecessary officers and
favor the practice of economy so far
as is consistent with the successful
and efficient management of the pub
lie service.
The Democratic party forty years
ago inherited from the Republican
party State Indebtedness of nearly
$40, 600, 900 and tax rate of so cents.
While reducing this rate to Is cents,
by economy and constructive ability,
the Democratic party established a
public school system not excelled by
any of the imperial states of the
Union, and a great university, five
normal schools, homes for Union and
ex-Confederate veterans, five hospi-
tails for the insane, schools for the
deaf and dumb and blind, homes for
the predetermined and defective, in
dustrial and reform schools for the
hayward youth, a sanitarium for suf-
ferers from tuberculosis, fruit ex-
pertinent station and other worthy
institutions, all of which have been
literally sustained:
Such thrift and progressive accom-
plishments are in strange contrast
with the first Republican administra-
ton policy as shown by practically
the first official act of the present
Republican Governor in sending a
message to the General Assembly
calling for higher assessments and a
greater rate of taxation, appealing for
more revenue, and using all the in
fluence and power of his great office
to procure funds for inexcusable ex-
travaganceS.

COBB A QUICK THINKER.

Ty Cobb is the greatest base runner
i'm the game, according to Hal Chase.
This is not because of his running
ability 1t is because he always thinks
for himself. The man who depends al
ways on a coach to tell him what to
do will never succeed. a player must
always have the situation in mind. He
must be ready to take advantage Of
every slip OF an opponent.
Many say that Cobb is lucky. Well
ii he is. he makes his luck. He pulls
off more new stuff than half the rest
of the players put together. He takes
chances, but he seldom takes des-
perate chance unless the situation Is
desperate Cobb's success lies in his
cunning and ability to execute on the
instant He boasts that intuitive in
stinct that scents out II bad play be-
fore it is fairly begun. Bill Bradley
OF the Cleveland club is n base runner
of the opposite type. He cannot COM
pare with Cobb as to speed. But he
always takes care to have the edge on
the opposition before he starts any
thing. F f.H

PIRATES PLAY FOX TITLE.
Pittsbure Team is Equally Proficient
in the Indoor Game.

Pittsburg, Feb. 24-Before starting
on their spring training trip the
worlds champion Pirates are going
to attempt to annex another scalp to
their belts. 1t is the indoor cham
pionship of Pennsylvania, and a team
is now being organized by Center
Fielder Tommy Leach for this pur-
pose, and a series of three games to
decide the question will be played here
in Duquesne Garden on March 3, 4
and 5.
The team that win oppose the Pr
ates will be made up of Pittsburg
nremen, which includes a number of
players that have or still are playing
in the professional ranks. Lefty
Campbell will do the twirling for this
team, which now claims tile Pennsyl-
vania state championship.
Manager Leach will have in his
lineup such well known stars as
Jack Miller Maddox. Abbatichio,
Frock, Wagner, McKechnie, one of the
Pirate youngsters; Powell and Catcher
Gibson. Leach will captain and play

have been playing indoor ball all win
ter, will do the twirling. The team

MICHIGAN'S NEW TRAINER
MAY COME FROM The WEST

Ann Arbor. Mich, Feb. 2i.-Direc-
tor of Athletics Phillip Bartelme re-
turned from his mysterious trip east
Tuesday and for the first time the
reason for the trip became known.
He was after a successor to Keene
Fitzpatrick. While in the east Bar
telme attended the Boston A. A.
meet and visited most of the big
colleges I'm that section of the coun-
try, but his search for Keene's sue
cessor was fruitloss.
Bartelme talked with most Of the
big trainers OF college athletes. but
was unable TO find one who would
take up the duties to be left at the
end of this semester by Fitzpatrick.
All the men who were suitable for
the position were either tied up by
contracts or for other reasons would
be unable To accept the position.
This makes it look as though the
new man will have to be found in
the west.
While i'm Philadelphia Bartelme con-
ferred with the Quaker authorities
about the Michigan-Penn foot ball
games for the next two years and
although no contracts were signed
arrangements have practically been
completed

thihks the player as he gingerly sits
uoWh and twirls his hat in his hands
The first question completely paral-
Yves him. How much do you imagine
II costs you a week 10 live while In
town." inquiries Dreyfuss. For the
benefit of uninitiated readers il might
be said at this point that league play
ers pay their own expenses while the
team Is at home and have them paid
for them while travelling.
This question stumps tl.e player. he
doesn't want to give his boss the idea
that he is an extravaganza liver. SO
many humble out, "Oh about $40
week"
Droyfuss by the way knows Just how
much every hotel and large boarding
place in Pittsburg charge. so startles
the recruit by saying: where do you
live?' He already knows anyway, but
is merely getting the player Gagged.
Then he continues: you ought to live
easily on ten "A week at that hotel and
get your laundry done and smoking to
boot. Have you thought anything of
saving some of your salary for other
days."
Nine times in ten the player hasn't.
but he wants TO be i'm right so prob
ably shutters "I-I-have been thinking
some Of laying aside some in the bank,
and Will start in before long, but"
Then Dreyfuss cuts in and says:
Fine. You'd better do it right now.
I'll keep $50 out Of your pay every two
weeks and deposit it in the bank for
you in your name
The player OF course gives his con-
sent and almost before he knows it he
has $500 or 5000 laid away ready. for
him. Then, If Dreyfuss believes the
player will stick to the team, he will
suggest to him that this sum or part
of it could be nicely invested and bring
him i'm some interest. What happens
then? The player invests in some
good paying proposition and Dreyfuss
guarantees that il will be safe, guaran-
tees 1t with his own property.

ers during the training season Of the
club that win be beginning very soon.
IL Is the fact that the men who have
won three American league flags by
their batting and base running, can,
in the latter department OF play
easily accomplish great deal more
than they have ever done in the
past
Hughie wants his men 10 steal more
bases, take more chances and get
more out OF their speed in 1910 than
they have in any OF the prior years
of his ineumbency. And he means to
see to 1t that they do.
To the other American league man
ayers this news will come in the ma
ture of a blow. That the head OF
the Detroit club which last year stole
about 240 sacks and scored enough
runs to stagger humanity should con-
slider the accomplishments of his
men in this line of effort as made
quate will probably be deemed pc
culiar situation. Yet Hughle does not
consider ii so.

NO AMERICANS ENTERED
FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES

The Olympic games are 90 be neid
at Athens this spring, despite the re-
ports 10 the contrary, and not a few
of the athletes on the other side of
the water are making preparations TO
be there. Last fall the English ana
teur Athletic association decided not
10 send a team, and now IL Is said II
has not changed its policy but has
announced that If the athletes care to
own expense.
The FIRST country TO make a definite
move for the Athenian games is Aus
tralia, and the Antipodes will send
Wood and Slime for the Marathon
race.
Except President Taft might Greer
team TO be mustered here, there is
hardly any possibility that America
will be represented. Professor Sloane
of Columbia University is the Ameri-
can representative of the information
al Olympic committee, and il is not
known what his views are about send
ing an American team TO Athens.
The Amateur Athletic Union could
muster a team and so could the Inter
collegiate association, but any foreign
fixtures around April or May would in
terfere with the dual college meets and
the championship, so that the col
lege man would be out of il for Ath-
ems In 1906, when America sent a
team, the men were not the best in
the land. but nevertheless they won
the point honors, and no doubt as
good a team, If not better, could be
mustered now.
only recently President Taft recon-
mended Congress to make a grant OF
| $4,000 to send the athletes To the vi
emma Exposition games next summer.
The trip to Vienna for about forty
men would not use up half OF
the sum. and there would be plenty Of
money to send the boys down to
Athens. They could go to the Grecian
capital first and take in Vienna and
all other games worth attending on
their way home.

BARNEY DREYFUSS KNOWS
HOW TO HANDLE PLAYERS
Has Started Many Of the Young
sters in the Habit Of Saw
ing Money.
MANY PIRATES ARE WEALTHY

chicago, Feb. 24.-Many fans have
,oiscd the question of what major
league team i'm the country possesses
the most business like players. In
other words what club has the most
nlavers with good sized bank accounts
This query is easily answered, the
pttsburg Pirates taking the prize. In
almost every instance a man who has
MAYED for Pittsburg under Barney
Dreyfuss has developed into a big
property owner or draws down good
dividends from stocks and bonds every
six months or so.
Why does this particular trait apply
10 the Pirates may be asked. 1t is
known that every man on the present
worlds championship team who has
years has good investments against
his name. HAIRS Nagrc- has bar

Yesterday. The man who said il never
expected that the story would ever get
into print But it forms such a hu-

Every recruit who strikes the Pr

This sudden bound into comparative
wealth has a tendency to dazzle the
recruit. As a result he is likely to
spend a large, extra large, potion OF
his salary when he keeps getting it,
Then is when Dreyfuss steps i'm.
The recruit receives a summons from

MANY BIG RACE MEETINGS.

Two most material additions have
which win be offered i'm the state of
Michigan through 1910, as a reward to
the trotters and PAGERS which win
races over its many courses. The
Michigan State Fair association comes
across with an allotment Of $4,000 for
its September meeting--nearly treble
what the organization has ever Offer
ed before. And the Michigan circuit
has gotten together and decided to
feature its first five meetings-which
will be held on half-mile tracks-with
the addition of two early closing pur-
SEES of $1,000 each, for a total of $4,000
more money than the original sche-
dule calls for. These classes will be for
2:2 Otrotters and PAGERS respectively.
The move of the State Fair assocla-
tion is one which will put that track
organization in class with the state
fairs of Wisconsin and Minneapolis
which annually sec about as good rae
ing as the average Grand Circuit
track. There will be couple of $4,000
stakes and the meeting, which con-
nicts with the first week at Columbus
is sure to make "A considerable differ
cnce i'm the prestige of that meeting.
A conservative estimate of the to-
tai sum which Michigan will this year
hang up for trotters and PAGERS places
that figure at slightly over 100000
which is a great deal more than any
other commonwealth in the United
States has to offer, demonstrating
thoroughly that Michigan is now the
leading state in the sport.

COACH STAG PLANS TO
EXPERIMENT WITH RULES

Chicago, Feb. 2t.-Coach A. A. Stagg
will leave the University of Chicago
temporarily to experiment with the
proposed new football rules in the
south. He will depart today for Fay
etteville, Ark, where he will superin-
tend two special gridiron games to be
played Friday and Saturday by the
University of Arkansas team.
The arrangement to use the southern
school as a gridiron laboratory has the
of President John n. Till
man OF the University of Arkansas
and Coach Hugo Bezdek. director OF
athletics Bezdek win assist his old
teacher in trying out the rules on his
charges, and Coach Stagg will take
notes to lay before the rules committee
at its next meeting, March 20, in New
York.
The games at Fayetteville will be
highly novel, for Coach Stage will give
the team various sets of new rules in
the effort to get some suitable com
bination. He will particularly try out
his suggestions to abolish pulling and
pushing of the man with the BAH, re-
moving the penalty for an uncompleted
forward pass and opening up the play.
According to Coach Stage, it will
not be possible to decide definitely on
the rules after the southern games,
but he hopes to get much illumination
on some of the dark points. The pro-
posal to allow the quarterback to run
from his position without going five
yards out and the suggestion i'm regard
to the forward pass will come in for
special interest.
Several members of the rules COM
mittee are expected to attend tho SOU
thern exhibitions and pass judgment on
their success.

Detroit, Feb 24.-The national bowl
ing tournament of the American Bowl
Ing Congress will open at the Wayne
Hotel gardens OF this city on Satur-
day evening, ana promises to prove
the biggest event OF its kind ever at
tempted by the ten pin artists. More
entries have been secured than for
any meeting ever conducted under
the auspices of the American Bowling
Congress, and it is likely that new
records will be established. The at
tendance will be large from every
bowling center in the middle west.
The clubs viii compete on fourteen
specially constructed alleys, with
every possible convenience for the con-
testants. The alleys will be complct-
ed on Thursday.
The American Bowling congress
was organized in 1895 when a meet
ing OF the representative bowlers
throughout the country was called i'm
New York. and the congress was or
ganized. It was at this meeting that
the playing rules were changed. The
| congress held annual meetings in
New York until 1900, when they met
in Baltimore, but it was not until
! 1901 that the tournament began, the
| first tournament being held i'm jan
uary of that year in Chicago.
From it's inception in 1895, the
American Bowling congress laid down
all the bowling rules, and had charge
! of the annual tournaments until 1906,
when the National Bowling association
was organized i'm the east and the for
mer organization became essentially n
middle west body although a number
of bowling clubs are members of both
organizations.
