~ In Mathewson5 the New York team
has great winning pitcher. IN my es-;
stimation he is about the greatest man
who ever tossed "a baseball. and the
rest OF the pitching staff is strong and
dangerous. In spite Of this fact the
Cubs as team, would rather go up
against Matty than any Of the big,
pitchers today. In saying this I do not
mean to exempt a number Of weaker
pitchers we are always comic ent#of
beating. but OF the recognized big
league pitchers today, Matty Is our
choice. NY reason for making this
rather astonishing statement is that
Matty is&a careful, steady. straight
pitcher. He always pitches for the
plate and does not try to intimidate al
batter by such tricks as throwing for
his head or trying to Craze his shins
We know that Matty has wonderfuJ
control over the ball.-John Evers

Why tho Sky Is Blue. WI
The cause Of the blue tint Of the sky
has recently been the subject Of re-
newed discussion. According to one
view, the blue color is the effect of
chemical matter in the air acting by
absorption, but most physicists deny
this on the ground that these chemical
substances present In. the air would
cause the setting sun to be blue in
stead Of red. 1t seems probable that
the blue Of the sky is. in any case. not
due to particles Of dust or Of water, as

bottom and now propose to lift
spar by October LIST This mine
is equipped with all of the latest
machinery, two new boilers, air
compressor, new hoist, two new

that goes to make a good mine.
This mine has been and will be
one of the best producers in the

vein at the bottom and in quality
it equals that produced by the
Memphis. Mr.. Geo. Roberts
was in full control and at one
stage of the game of equipping
this mine and getting the volume
of water out he telegraphed
New York for a Cameron pump
to be shipped imediately by ex-
press. The express tolls
amounted to $112O0. Mr..
Roberts has associated with him
some Chicago people in this
enterprise, This bit of infor-
nation was not furnished by
Mr.. Roberts. He is one of the
