One Young Man Learned
Ranching for Wages
Pays Best.

One of the young men who has
been a clerk in leading Wenat-
chez store for the past two years,
but who resigned last spring to work
in the orchards, was on the streets
last evening and greeted the World
representative. In reply to inquir-
les about his welfare he said:
1--WE got the counter job beat a
mile Look me in the eye, feel those
muscles. For a month I worked
around anywhere for days wages.
Then a party who owns ranch

that I was faithful worker. J was
put IN charge of this party's place
for the season on salary of $40
per month. The house is coElforta-
bly, furnished and l have all the
chickens and vegetables anybody
could eat. Why, the meal l get for
myself every night would cost one
of you fellows at a Wenatchee cafe
from rs cents to a dollar. 1t was
kind of lonely at first, but that wore
off, and now for the balance of the
year, pickers and packers will keep
me in plenty of company. And say,
on the quiet, I'm laying up $50 every
month. This winter I'm going to
have a swell time The rest of you
fellows will be broke and I'll have
plenty of coin"

WHAT WILL APPLE
PRICES Be
Growers Much Interested in
Probable Price of This
Years Output.

The probable price of apples this
fall is seriously interesting the grow
erS of the valley. Seattle commission
houses are well represented here this
year. c.. E. Michaels, representing
the Gibson Fruit company, has been
here for some weeks and A. z. Lam
ham, representing Wagner e Sons,
has written that he will be here
Tuesday to spend the remainder of
the season. While there are many
outside fruit buyers in the valley
yet neither they nor the local COM
mission men have made aay con-
tracts for the fall delivery of apples.
There is a general feeling, however.
that prices will not range anywhere
near as high as that of last year.
None of the dealers care to be quoted
on probable prices yet in the specu-
Iation as tos prices it is thought that
Winesaps and Spitzenbergs will
range from $50 to $1.75; Jona-
thans, Rome Beauties and StayDan
Winesaps, at from $1.10 to Sl.25,
and other varieties in proportion.
While these prices are much lower
than that of last year. yet with the
enormous crop in the valley it means
an abundance of money for every
I ot.s this fall.
While there is a general shortage

states farther east yet the effect of
the cereal crop failures in the Gen.
trail states is noticeable here and
plays a great part In fixing prices.

YAKIMA
BUILDING
L. v. Wells Making Tour to
Get Ideas as to Y. M.
G. A. Building.

With L. v. Wells of Wenatchee
and Charles w. Wilcox as guests of
honor, directors of the Young Mems
Christian association held a luncheon
at the local institution Tuesday noon.
At that time the matter of securing
a successor to Secretary N. F. Tur-
ner was discussed.
AS chairman of the building COM
mittee of the Wenatchee Y. M. c. A.,
Mr.. Wells is making tour of the
northwest cities to gain familiarity
with the various types of structures.
He is accompanied on his trip by
Charles w. Wilcox, the state secre-
tary
Due largely to the encouragement
offered by North Yakima's success,
Wenatchee recently raised $36, 900
toward a fund to be used in the con-
struction of Y. M. c. A. building in
that city. With this amount on hand
the building committee has begun to
formulate plans for the structure.
To get ideas from the different cities
in the northwest, Mr.. Wells is pay
ing personal visits to them. He is
a well-to-do Wenatchee resident and
is undertaking the trip at his own
expense.

handling his players. He undoubtedly
knows as much base ball as any other
manager. but for all that he could not
accomplish anything unless he had the
material on his team which can execute.
But If there Is one thing for which Nc
Aleer deserves credit II is his stand
for policy Of buying young material
in the hope of building up a winner here.
He has made wonderful progress in this
direction, and it would not be at all sur
prising TO see him at the head of a team
next season which will be moving in
first division company.
Joe Cantillon's experience Is unique
He finished last with the Nationals last
season. and this year is winning pen
nant with ease in the American Associa-
ton with much of the material he had
on hand here from time to time.
Now it must not he thought that there
are no wise base ball men in the asSocia-
ton. for there are SO many that Joe Is not
outclassing any one out there, but he
simply has the ball team which can win,
and that makes him a successful manager.
Cantillon has not changed his system Of
play. 1t is perhaps the same as he put
i'm vogue here, but the material was lack
ing then and victories were few and far
between. This year his team Is undoubted-
ly the strongest in the association. and he
has players who in that company can
execute what he directs. Hence he is a
success.

CURVE BALL PITCHERS NO
LONGER PUZZLE BATSMEN
Jack Coonbs' Success Due to His Ability
to Pitch Drop Ball Kittridge
Tells of His Experience.

Time after time Crawford hit on top
OF the drop and nobody seemed able
to do much with IT.
The regulation out drop Is much easier
and is rather dangerous because a ba.-
ter sometimes catches II far on the out
side and long drive over the out
field results.
George Mullin has spent a lot of time
working on drop that does not break
away and has mastered it so well that
1t Is one of his best puzzlers. When
Muffin comes up on his toes with an
overhead swing and a quick jerk of the
wrist as the ball leaves. that's the drop
He couples IL with a lot Of speed and
you know how effective he has been
year in and year out.
The day Of the curve ball pitcher
seems to be on the decline. All the
effective hurlers are depending almost
completely on collaborating efforts
which shoot out Of direct line rather
than curve. The deliberate curves are
effective only against certain clubs, and
the batters who fall for them are SO
few. comparatively that they do not
count.
Walter johnson, credited with being

League, at least, has curve ball that

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. August 19.-"I notice they
are printing stories about Jack Coombs
and how he didn't know how to pitch
until this year." remarked Malachi
kittridge. Detroit scout. Kit caught for
years and years and Is close observer
OF base ball. particularly pitching. That
is why his comment on Coombs Is OF
more than ordinary weight
"Coombs has started to pitch great
ball because he has mastered the
greatest OF all pitching assets, the
drop ball that does not break from
the right-handed batters. I don't mean
one OF those out drops. but a ball that
comes up to the plate squarely in the
center and falls from one to two feet
without changing its lateral direction.
Amos Rusie had that ball and he
threw 1t with tremendous speed. Rusie
pitched that drop thing and mixed 1t
up with q fast one in close and the
batter who could meet il with any regu-
larity never lived. They tell me that
Ramsey and other 'oldtimers depended
on it extensively"
Coombs certainly did give a fine ex-
hibition of pitching on his recent appear
ance In Detroit. Batters like Sam Craw-
ford. who usually hit the ball hard,
swung and missed with great frequency.

ANOTHER PITCHING RECORD.
Faber Of Dubuque Does Not Allow
Hit or Run in League Game.

DAVENPORT. Iowa. August 10
Pitcher Faber Of the Dubuque team Of
the Three League yesterday did not
allow hit and did not let a Davenport
player reach first base in the nine innings
played. This feat has been accomplished
but few times, notably by Cy Young,
pitching for Boston in 1904 against Phila-
delphia. and by Addie JOSS pitching for
Cleveland against Chicago in 1908.
The trick was first turned by Calvin of
st. Louis. in defeating Detroit In 1876. II
was duplicated by Lee Richmond OF
Worcester against Cleveland in 1880. and
by Ward of Providence against Buffalo in
the same season.

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

That q club stands q better chance OF
lettering the condition Of Its team by Sc
curing youngsters from the minor leagues
than by buying players other major
league clubs are willing to sell is perhaps
illustrated In the case Of Catcher Ain
smith. That youngster has shown him.
self to be an artist in the few games he
has caught here and it is naturally safe
to say that IL he had been on the roster
Of any other major league club Washing
ton could not have had him for love or
money.
But when the local club went out and
took a chance in buying him from a
minor league club ii was on an equal
basis with the other big league clubs.
The system OF securing seasoned ma
terial has not proven a success here, but
SO far as II is possible to judge the plan
to get youngsters and let them develop
appears to have struck the right trail.
Then there is the advantage il you have
a young ball team you have 1t for years,
while one that is made up of patched-up
veterans can never be relied upon. for 1t
is liable to break down at any stage OF
a race. 1t would. of course. be folly for
any one to attempt to make good snow
ing with a team entirely made up of play
ers with no major league experience. The
youngsters need few old heads TO steady
them, and the old fellows few young
sters to keep them on edge. That makes
the ideal combination.
The absurdity of charging a manager
with the failure Of a ball team which
lacks the strength to be in the pennant
fight is best shown In the case OF St.
Louis. Over in the Mound City they in
sist that Jim McAleer was responsible
for the failure OF the Browns in the 1909
race. To his system of play is attributed
the fact that the team which the year be-
fore had been a factor in the race right
down to the last week of the season
failed to make even respectable showing
the following year.
OF course. McAleer's system was not
changed from one year to the other. 1t
was good enough to keep the Browns in
the pennant fight for the greater part of
the route, for which he deserves credit.
for he had anything but good ball team.
But with all this bowling about McAleer
in ST. Louis we fail to see that O'Connor
has done any better. Nor will any other
manager until he is lucky enough to get
a ball team, There is not a great differ
ence in the ability of managers of .eams.
They all do just about the same thing at
certain times and no one has sprung any
thing new in many years. The best man.
ager is the fellow who gets himself win
ming team, for a system without team
is worthless.
Here in Washington the patrons of the
game consider McAleer the best man the
Nationals have ever had in charge. this
because the team has made a better
showing than Ii has in many years, and ii
has done this because IL has played bet
ter grade Of base BAH and is in fact
stronger team than it has ever been be-
fore. McAleer does not WELD any mystic
wand, nor is there anything mysterious
about the system he puts in vogue in
