COBB'S DESIRE TO PITCH
MAY COST HIM HIS Arm
JENNINGS EFFORTS TO CORRECT
FAULT UNAVAILlNG.
Practice Before Game Wastes Strength
of Georgian Peach.

If Tyrus Raymond Cobb only had a
wee bit less love for that baseball game,
a lot Of his friends and admirers would
feel shade moro hopeful in predicting
for him prolonged career as monarch
of all he surveys in the national pas
time.
Reference is here made particularly
to what seems to be Tvs incurable itch
to pitch.
For years Hughie Jennings has been
laboring with his star to persuade him
TO give up the twiring which he does
daily for twenty minutes or so before
the game. But it is a frolic for Tyrus,
and, though he has tried to curb him.
SELF he seems to find it impossible.
It's sad thing for me to see Tvs
throwing ability leaving him." said
Hughie Jennings in a little fanfest, at
the baseball office 1--WE seen it year
! by year-more recently, day by day.
| Ty isn't getting men at the plate as he
used to. His assists from the outfield
are becoming fewer and fewer. Sam
Crawford is now our best thrower from
the outficld. He's been in the game
many years longer than Cobb but he
takes care of his arm and it ought to
be good for an indefinite period yet.
firmly believe that If Ty would cut
out his pitching he would be able to
come back in the throwing department
at any rate he could recover some Of
his best ground. But I've about given
up getting him to try He loves to
throw that ball and I'm afraid it's go
ing to be a sad lesson for him to learn
that one can waste his talents or con-
serve them, as he sees fit."-Detroit

WHERE TENNIS STARS ERR.
Many Of Amateurs Drive The Ball Too
Hard at Start

New York, Aug. 26.-Mostly all
forms of amateur sport possess some
feature or other that appear to the
spectators as being oddly ridiculous,
the one i'm tennis being the persistcncy
with which players endeavor to exc
cute a hard drive with the first service
ball and fail. Not one per cent of the
players engaged in active competition
at the present day can get hard, swift
ball across the net on the first at
tempt and yet they keep on trying,
walloping. smashing and clouting at
the net cord without results. 1t is
worth the while to take a chance at
getting a hard one over on the first,
some of the cracks say. but there is
no attention paid to the amount of vi
tality lost in this continuous wallop-
ing at the top cord for nothing.
Very often one sees a player nearly
exhausted and with the heat devils
dancing before his eyes, slash away at
his first ball and I'm the effort to i'm
part some sting to the stroke, sting
himself nearly half way into the mid

the final round, which went to five sets.
one of the contestants, who is remark

his strength. II was worth remembers
ing that he did not win a single ace on
service and that out of the entire five
sets only eight of his first balls served

SEASON FOR WINE MAKING
WILL BE BUSY ONE HERE
FRUIT NOW IN THE MARKET is
HIGHER THAN EXPECTED.
This Years Product in the copper
Country Will Be Largest.

Although the wine making season is
still several weeks away. Indications
point to the fact that all previous rec
ords will be broken in the copper coun-
try this year. Last years high price
Tor grapes made the home made wine
an expensive luxury for the Italians
Austrians and Creations who each year
provide a market for from Is to 20 car
loads of grapes. and the early advices
to the effect that the grape harvest
this year has been above the normal.
and that the prices are likely to be
very reasonable. were hailed with de-
light. Although the grapes that have
appeared in the markets so far have
been just as expensive as i'm other
years, ii is expected that by the time
the wine making season arrives, which
viii be four weeks from now, the fruit
VIII be obtainable at prices much lower
than for several years past.
The home made wine Of the Italians
Austrians and Croatians is said to be
delicious vintage, for their long ex-
perience in the vineyards of their ma
tive lands, has taught them all the sec
rets of the art, and while no effort is
made to produce fancy brands, the
wine made here is almost absolutely
pure and is much preferred. Practi-
cally all of it is made for private con-
sumption.
Wholesale dealers are yet unable to
estimate the number of carloads that
VIII be needed to supply their local
trade, but anticipate that the demand
VIII be very great this year, and that
more than twenty carloads will be
brought used i'm the aggregate. The
Dulk will be secured from the vine
yards of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
though some Michigan grapes will be
used.

The Major Has Quantity
Of High Grade.
DEVELOPING RICH ORE SHOOT
Will Commence Shipping to
Mill.

The owners of the Major group
of claims, situated about one and
a half miles northeast of town,
are opening up a fine shoot of
ore.
They are at present sinking a
shaft near the mouth of an old
tunnel, and have three feet of
high grade ore. This shaft is
some 200 ft. west of a shaft that
is down 70 fit. 1t is proposed to
sink the present shaft about 80
it., and then drift both ways on
the vein. This will give them
quite a tonnage, and it is pro-
posed to stope this out and mill
it at the custom plant.
Besides this ore, they have a
large quantity of milling ore
taken from other parts Of the
vein that they propose to mill.
| On the Major group are two
veins. some 125 ft, apart, and
which seem to dip towards each
other. The south vein, on which
they are at present at work has
yielded some very rich ore, that
was put through an arrastra
with good results, several years
ago. The ore in this vein is
about one-half oxidized, and
yields readily to amalgamation.
The north vein is somewhat the
largest, and is not quite so high
grade, but some very good ore
has been taken from this vein
The vein has been stripped fol
quite a distance, and shows very
strong.
They expect to commence tt
deliver ore to the mill early mex
week, and will continue to pro
duce all winter.

The Art of Poisoning.

Professional poisoners arose early in
our era. 1t is recorded that Agrippina
"a. d. 26) refused to eat apples at the
table of her father-in-law, Tiberius,
through fear of poison. The notorious
Locusta f1ourished In that epoch. 1t
is charged that she supplied with ap-
propriate directions the poison by
which Agrippina rid herself Of Clau-
dius. She also furnished the poison
that was administered to Britannicus
by order of Nero. This crime was
committed in quite conventional
manner. The Romans were accustom-
ed to drink hot water at table, but the
same temperature did not appeal TO
all. A slave offered hot water to Bri-
tannicus. "Too hot" he remarked.
The slave added cold water. Britain
nicus drank, gasped once or twice and
died. The cold water was poisoned
either with cyanide or with prussic
acid.

that 1t never terminated fatally has

means possible, but it is even TO be
dreaded by those who are not over

suits.
The old fashioned notion that good
dose Of seasickness was beneficial was
due wholly to the fact that upon re-
