Il Takes Quick Thinking Players to
Make . Successful Team.
The greatest difficulty in building up
ball teams in this day, when the game
has become a business rs well as a
sport, Is in securing what we knoF as
thinking ball players" There are any
number Of ball players in the minor
leagues who have natural physical
ability. but it is very rarely possible
to secure men who have that peculiar
faculty Of being able to think and act
simultaneously.
1t Is no reflection on a ball players
general intelligence to say that he
hasn't that quality. I know scores of
players who are men Of unusual in
tellect, but who are lacking In that
ability to think and act at the same
time. Give them a few minutes to
consider a problem. and they will ar
rive at a conclusion that IL quite log.
ical, but baseball games are not won
on logic. The plays that win are usu-
ally the result Of impulse. 1t is in
stinct with some ball players to make
the proper play at the proper time.
It would be possible to count on the
fingers Of the two hands the men in
the league who are quick thinking
ball players" The team that is bless
ed with q majority Of that class of
players is the one that usually wins
the championship. A team must have
at least two thinking ball players to be
a contender. and II 1t has four the
championship is in sight.-John ]. Nc

New York. April 24.-The latest
market quotations for human blood
at least in this city. is $25 a quart.
full measure. Some may consider
that price price rather low, but IL
must be considered that the price Of
blood. like that of any other market.
able article is regulated by the rela-
tive proportions OF the supply and de-
mand. That there Is quite a large sup
ply and that the owners of the article
are not only willing but anxious to
sell at the regular market price, was
demonstrated the other day, when
more than one hundred men called at
the Mount Moriah hospital In answer
to an advertisement offering $25 for
a quart of human blood to be trans
fused into the arteries of a woman pa
tient. The man who was finally Sc
lected by the doctors, admitted that
he offered his blood only because he
had been out of work and penniless
money"
The fate Of Madison Square Garden
Is still undecided. I'll is generally ad-
mitted that New York absolutely
needs place like Madison Square
Garden for it's big shows and exhibit
tions. capitalists would be willing
enough to furnish the necessary funds
for such building. were it not for
the disquieting fact that New York $
famous Garden" has never proved a
profitable venture. Why it did not,
has always been a puzzle to the gen.
eral public. There are various ru-
mors in circulation concerning the
ultimate disposition of Madison
Square aGrden. One rumor states
states that the Madison avenue side
OF the Garden is to be improved,
while the big ampitheater. where the
shows are held, Is to remain intact
Other rumors, however, are to the eff
feet that the entire structure will
soon be removed and the ground used
for modern office or business build
ings. Il has been suggested to build
another building on plans similar to
that of Madison Square Garden, but in
locality where real estate is less val
liable and 1t Is quite possible that this
plan will ultimately be carried out
as there Is undoubtedly demand for
large ampitheater for circus per.
formances, big exhibitions and mon.
ster balls.
