Milan Hitting the Ball.

From the way Clyde Milan soaked the
ball yesterday afternoon the Star man
is almost convinced that the great fielder
has once more found himself. McAleer
has about convinced ''Zeb' that he is
one of the best batters and fielders in
the business, and this confidence is all
that Milan has needed the past two
years. During the practice yesterday
afternoon Milan hunted toward first
twirler fielded the ball SO quickly that
McAleer called Clyde out.

considerable adverse criticism of our out
field but / believe that 1t Will compare
with any in the American League out
side of Detroit. Every one Of the boys in
the outergarden is in fine shape. and you
can't mix Gessler, Lelivelt, Milan or

tons there. Mark my words. every one

AS to the infield. Reisling says it is a
peach, and remarked that If he had four
or five men to pick to back up his pitch
ing on the inner works, he wouldn't want
anything better than the Washington
boys. Charley Street will do very little
catching in games before the season
opens. Il am going to nurse that boy"
said McAleer referring TO Charley, land

ton Of the exhibition games. He will
be all the better for it. and in addition
it will key the other two up to the right

FOUR MILES AN :;0UR.
Not So Easy to Walk at That Rate Aa
Many Persons Imagine.

There is nothing that the aver
age person believes more implicitly
than that he can walk four miles
in an hour easily. Almost any one
will say: "Wc were out walking for
an hour and a half today. Let me
see-four miles an hour; that
makes six miles we went" And he
is convinced that is the ground his
party covered.
That same average person has
only to try to walk four miles in
sixty minutes to discover that it is
good stiff going. There are many
more folks who cover three miles
in the time when they think they
are going at the rate of a mile
better than there are who actually
know the pace they are making.
1t is an easy thing to determine.
For instance, one man started at
One Hundred and Tenth street
on Central Park West and walked
down alongside the park. He noted
the time when he started and swung
along at a GAIT that he fondly be-
licved was a mile in ten minutes.
That, for instance, would be about
