Club Now May Go as Far as
1t Likes.
Overhauling and Patching Up
Is Planned.
MANY CHANGES SEEN.
Manager Clarke Expected to Do
Experimenting.
Experienced Timber Wanted if
Opportunity Affords.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 21.-At pres
ent the Pirate roster stands just as it
did after the first drafting day. There
are thirty-seven players on the list,
all told, this total being made up of
four catchers, fourteen pitchers. elev-
en- inhelders and eight outfielders, as
follows:
Catchers-Gibson, Simon. oCon-
Pitchers-Camnitz, Adams, White,
Leifeld, Maddox, Philippe, Lever,
Ferry, Mercer, Gardner, Brown, Fa-
Der, Robertson and Smith.
observation-disclosures, Byrne, Miller,
Flynn, McKechnie, Hyatt, Hunter,
Mccarthy, Kading, Bisland and Nei-
hon.
Outfelders-Clarke, Leach, wilson,
Campbell, Bates. Gardiner, Carey and
RafteFy.
Under the original agreement it
would have been necessary to drop
two of these men in order to keep
within the limit, but with all restric-
lions removed the local club may now
60 as far as it likes and make any
number of additions.
whether any steps in this direction
are taken the list is even now of such
proportions as to indicate that the
management plans to do a lot of ov-
erhauling and patching up lefore the
opening OF another championship
race.
Though the Pirate management lost
in the drafting lottery no less than
eight players whom it tried to land,
the list at that shows seventeen new
players eleven purchased and six
drafted), total that is far above the
annual average Of Pittsburg in pick
ing up new men.
Many Changes Are Predicted.
It indicates that Manager Clarke is
going to do q great deal more exper.
fnenting than he has been wont to dc
in past years and the impression is al
ready general that the local teams
appearance will be considerably alter
ed next spring.
The pitching department and thu
outfieId seem to be coming in for the
bulk OF attention, for the fact tina
there are fourteen pitchers and eigh
outargardeners on the roll is evidences
enough that Clarke plans to do consid
cradle bracing in both branches.
But planning TO do a thing and &C
tuaiIy doing It are vastly differen
PROPOSITIONS in baseball, and to VIVA
extent Clarke will succeed In his un
lerfalxing cannot be known until tn

homa and Both May Die.

Tulsa, Okla. Sept. 21.-Renewing a
family feud which had its origin in the
hills Of Kentucky years ago, DR. Lebo,
go years old and Sam Magee, a mill
owner. opened fire upon each other
while on road near Skiatook, eight
miles north of here. Both were seri-
ously wounded and may die.
The men c-me here from the same
section of Kentucky last spring and
were never on friendly terms. When
they met Lebo opened fire with q
double barrelled shotgun which Magee
returned with a revolver. Friends and
relatives of the two men declare they
will take up the dispute.

MAN WITH wosIAN's MAMIE.
Vivian NJ. Lewis Captures Governor
Nomination in New Jersey.

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 21.-Vivian NJ
Lewis was nominated for governor on
the first ballot at the New Jersey Re-
publican state convention here. Mr..
Lewis received $685. votes, against
about 300 votes that were cast for the
three other aspirants for the nonina-
ton These three aspirants were Pres
ident Joseph F. Frelinghuysen, of the
state senate: Prosecutor Pierre p. Gar
Ven. of Hudson county, and former As
semblyman William p Martin, the lat
ter the candidate of the progressives.
The platform, as prepared by the
state committee, was materially al
tered, particularly in the matter Of
comforting rate making power upon the
public utilities commission. A sub
committee of the state committee
made up of so-called "standpatters, :"
last night prepared a draft of a plat
form, in which rate making power was
not endorsed. Mr.. Lewis objected TO
this and the fight was carried into the
conventions committee on resolutions
Mr.. Lewis friends on that committee
won and put into the platform rate
making authority in which power is
specifically conferred upon the public
utilities commission.
The convention was impartial in its
applause for President Taft and former
President Roosevelt.

league service and how many are
wanting.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
there will be some changes in the
pitching staff, for if one department
has been more disappointing than an
other this year it is that same hurting
branch.
The club will probably get line on
at least two of the recruits, Ferry and
Mercer, before the close of the present
race, but the rest of the new fingers
will hardly be tested until next spring
1t is not likely that Clarke will de-
pend wholly on what the new crop of
slab material may bring forth, how
ever, for the chances are so largely
against any youngster making good
the first year out that it would be rash
to stake much on spring experiments,
particularly when there is such a gap
ing hole to be filled as has developed
this year in Pittsburg's f1inging de-
partment.
Clarke Wants Seasoned Pitchers.
1t is more than probable, therefore,
that Clarke will make a determined
effort in the winter to obtain one or
more seasoned pitchers from other
major league clubs by purchase or
trade, and if an opportunity offers for
such deal some of the new material
picked up this fall may figure in the
dicker.
AHOtHef striking feature or the To-
cal list is the fact that it shows no
less than eight outfielders. You'll
have to go back quite a distance to
find where Pittsburg previously car
ried that number of fly chasers, and
the unusually large total indicates
that there may be new face or two
in the Pirate gardens next year.
Vincent Campbell is one youngstef
whom it will be difficult to keep out
of regular position, and Clarke him.

give the speeder as much work as
possible this fall in order to fit him

1t looks like safe prediction, how.

change in the outfield, and another II

ing Of Last Year.
WAIT FOR CORN CROP.
If All Turns Out Well Business
Will Be Good.
Othsr'Items Of Interest ON the
North Side.

Chicago, Sept 21.-Western railroad
officials show further optimism con-
corning the traffic situation and the
business outlook. Business with the
railroads continues to show steady i'm
provement to nearly all lines Of freight,
which is a good indication that there
is steadily gaining confidence in the
business sections Of the west. The only
uncertainty now is the possible danger
which may come to the corn crop
through frost. If the cereal pulls
through without serious damage it is
certain there will be very little cur
tailment of western prosperity this
year.
The money situation throughout the
west is little changed from what it has
been of late, although there are signs
of slight ease here and there, but the
best authorities are of the opinion that
it will be only short time before a
very noticeable improvement is shown.
trunk lines continue to make good
showing, and revenues from this bust
ness will be large this year.
Grain receipts at Chicago last week
amounted to 5,077.500 bushels. de-
crease of 2,064,450 bushels,and they were
1884, $50 bushels smaller than a year ago.
Arrivals of wheat decreased 1877, 900
bushels for the week, but they were
Z26, zoo bushels more than last year.
Deliveries of corn were LOS, $50 bush
els lighter than the preceding week,
! but were 1SS,150 bushels heavier than
| a year ago. Receipts of oats fell off
| $4,000 bushels for the week, and were
| zoo, 500 bushels lighter than a year ago
Total -four arrivals were 179,357 bar
rels, an increase of 1928 barrels for
the week. but they showed a loss of
1927 barrels as compared with the
same week in 1909.
Country marketing of grain and ship

vators has continued on a liberal scale
Receipts of spring wheat at distribut-

Union Pacific Planning This Move Is
Latest Rumor.

Salina, Kan, Sept. 21-There have
Deen runors at various times that the
Union Pacific contemplated double
tracking its line from Topeka to Sa-
ma But the distance between the
Two points is only 11s miles. There
are ties enough here now to both don
PIE track the main line east of here
ana puild the Arkansas City line, and
then have plenty of ties left
:, AT any rate, it seems probable that
tne Union Pacific is planning some ex-
tensive construction work, and possi-
ply the officials will some day let the
public in on the deal.
The proposed Mcpherson. Wichita q
Cur railroad. to be built from NC
Emerson to Arkansas City, is only about
I9o miles long. Evidently, the plans
OF the Union Pacific officials include
this line, providing this is really a
Union Pacific project.

TIES FOR o25 MILES IN sALrNA
Union Pacific Making Immense Stor-
| age Yards in That City.

Salina, Kan, Sept. Elbow many
miles of railroad could be built with
the ties now stored along the Union
Pacific right of way in Salina?
There are 2,S56 ties to a mile of
railroad, and in figuring in construc-
ton the engineers allow from 5000
to 5000 ties to a mile of main line
track, the increase over the actual
number of ties to a mile being made
in order to allow for necessary sid
ings.
The Union Pacific now has over
100000 ties stored in Salina, and new
shipments are arriving daily. 1t is said
that half of the total number of ties
to be stored here have not yet been
received. But figuring on a basis of
100000 ties, and allowing 5000 ties
to the mile, the ties now here would
build 625 miles of railroad. So there
are enough ties in Salina to rebuild
the entire main line of the Kansas di-
vision OF the Union Pacifc-from Kan
sas City to Ellis-twice over.

MICHIGAN IS CENTER
OF AUTO INDUSTRY
Figures Show Enormous
Business Done BY Com
panieS Therein.
BY HARRY WARD.

The fact thIt Michigan is the center
OF the automobile industry of the coun-
try is shown in the annual report of
the labor department of that State for
1909. According to the figures the
motor car output last year reached the
enormous figure of $135, 10000. The
amount of capital invested was S34,-
O0O,O0O, while the number Of cars turned
out was ri, 40. The pay rolls showed
that 1896 men were employed, the
average daily wages amounting to S15,-
4lo- At the end Of the year there were
thlrty-eight auto manufacturers in the
State, Detroit leading with seventeen.
The cost of material used during the
year was ST5 1gS, ,4S0. These figures show
In striking manner the wonderful
development of the auto industry in a
single State.
"Hughie Jennings, manager of the
Detroit baseball team, IS a man from
whom business men may learn many
lessons" said Hugh Chalmers. president

ningS took hold of the Tigers when
they were not much Of a team" he
continued. Through his spirit of never
giving UP and his ability as a leader
ne has made OF them a team that is
famous the country over" He pointed
out that the qualities which made Jen-
nlngS a great leader in the baseball
world may be applied TO salesmanship
In the auto industry with equal success.
