Five fires, supposed to have been
from incendiary origin occurred in
Lovelock last Monday night, and the
damage done will total over $4,000
The first fire was box car loaded
with hay, standing In the Lovelock
yards. Before the fire department re
sponded two bales of hay were burn
ed and the car considerably damaged
The second fire was at the hay stack
on the Marzen ranch, near the res
idence of w. H. Grannis. The hay
about 80 tons was completely des-
troyed. At the same time the hay
stack was burning, 2tock car bed
ded with hay and straw and stand
ing near the stock corrals caught
fire, andwas put out by the crew
of a passing freight train. The

they know how to fight with gloved fists
and may develop sufficient prowess TO
wrest the heavyweight championship
from Jack Johnson.
All the hopes who are not profess
siona1 fighters may enter, and. being an
amateur affair, 10 money will be paid the
winners. which Is q pleasing condition
from the O'Rourke standpoint 1t Is the
intention to pair these fellows off and
have them go six rounds, the winners
of these to meet. and then to have a grad
ual elimination process. or course. 1t will
take several nights to settle the question
Of supremacy, but SO long as the public
will attend It does not worry ORourke
how long At may take All sorts Of big
fellows have expressed willingness to
enter the tournament, which is sure to
attract biz crowds.
A ball team which has pitchers who can
hit has an enormous advantage over the
team which has the ordinary run Of pitch
ers. who can be figured as certain outs
nine times out of ten that they face the
opposing pitchers. 1t just gives the team
nine men in the lineup. every one Of
which has a chance to mae a timely hit.
instead of eight Much Of Connie Ii ack' q
strength lies I'm the fact that he has hit
ting pitchers. CoOmbs, Bender and Plank
can all hit well and many Is the game
they have won by making a timely hit
where ordinary pitchers would have
proven easy outs.
But there are really few pitchers who
can hit, for the reason that they are not
given much of an opportunity to practice
batting. To begin with. they always feel
that nothing is expected of them but
pitching ability and they either fight shy
OF batting practice or are not given a
chance by the other members of the team.
Harmony has done wonders for the
Tigers. Last year. when there were three
or four players at 1oggerheads, the team s
strength suffered. Jennings recognized
the trouble and he put in much Of his
time last winter In an effort to smooth
matters over. He succeeded in this this
spring and the result is that Detroit IL
playing better ball than ever before. Ball
teams to be successful be they ever so
strong, must work together There must
not be any jealousy or hard feeling be-
tween the players to get good results. If
there is to be any lighting let it he
against the opposing players. There are
no doubt many men In base ball as well
versed in the game as Jennings, but when
1t comes to putting life into a team and
keeping 1t on edge Hughey has no equal.
There Is no more hard working manager
than Jennings. His efforts on the coach
Ing lines are most strenuous and much
is accomplished by him in this way which
does not appear on the surface. with
Jennings coaching, II is next to impos-
sible for any player not to put forth his
very best efforts at all times.
