The Midway club of the Capital City
League will have one Of the strongest in
fields in the city this season. The man
ger of the club has gathered quota OF
good men to fll the infield positions and
he is almost certain that 1t will have
few superiors in any Of the amateur cir
cults. But one position is in doubt at
present. good men having been signed for
each of the others.
Trowbridge of the Agricultural Depart
ment and who was with the team for
while last year at short will cover the
second bag. He is a good fielder and a
hitter above the average of those found
in the amateur leagues. Last season he
hit and felded we'll in both the Capital
City and Departmental circuits. and 1t is
hardly likely that his work will fall short
this year.
At short there will be man who has
showed that he has class, both as an in
fielder and sticker. Harry Zannelli will
cover that position. Zannelli has played
some mighty good ball since he has been
following the game. both as an amateur
and as q professional.

not played professional ball in a long

CHANGE STYLE OF PITCHING

Speed, and Now He Proposes to
Be Wild in Spots.

victory but those good old times are
gone, never to return again. But there Is
one way to recall old remembrances, and
that is by few CHEEKY words. You Will
write. am sure you will, for the news
boys anyway, won't you. Cy?'
There's the part which touched the old
boy.
II tell you there's letter which I
wouldn't lose for anything" declared
ICY" Those boys surely will get a few
words from me. don't recall anything
that ever made me feel better than that
little letter."
That's all about ICY" Young the man.
Now for ''Cy'' Young the pitcher: :.
To Change Pitching Tactics.
Would you believe it If any one told
you that 'Cy," after twenty-five years
service as major league pitcher, is
planning to start anew. to adopt a new
system? 1t doesn't seem reasonable, does
it? Well, it is.
Speed is the thing which has carried
'Cy' through all these years. BLESSED
with abnormal power in his good right
arm, filled with the good common sense
which taught him that only good living
would enable him to preserve that
strength, "Cy' is going to start over
fame principally through the use Of speed.
"Cy'' is going to start over again now.
or, rather, to add other things to go
with that speed.
During every game In which he has
pitched in the past "Cy's" main thought
has been to keep the ball over the cor
ners of the plate. Heretofore he has
been contented TO cut the plate. trusting
in his speed to get away. Realizing his
perfect control, even the most timid bat
ters had no fears about going to the
plate when "Cy'' was pitching. They
could feel almost certain that either a
straight one or sharp curve was sail
ing up.
Now they'll have to be a little more
wary. ''Cy'' has stopped cutting the
plate. While travelling with the Yanni-
gans he was not worried whether ne
was getting the ball over. Whenever
he felt like asking any of his team
mates about his work he inquired IL he
was getting the ball over the corners
often enough.
Heretofore ICY" has had a splitter.
though rarely using 1t. That splitter
is going to perform its share of the
duties this season. Those are the things
which "Cy'' had on his mind when he
so often declared during the last rev
months that he was far from being
ready for the has-been class. Those are
the things which make the players who
were members Of the Yannigan squad
during the trip north believe that the
old veteran will have another great year
to add to his wonderful record. ;

round. Mcfarland beat him from post
to post, and IL was evident that only a
Knockout would turn the swiftly ebbing
tide. Murphy came up smiling, but
"Packey' speedily erased the smile with
cries of singing jabs and hooks to
the face. He measured Murphy with left
and right hooks to the jaw until the
latter ciinchcd to save himself. So ii
went to the end.
The members gathered slowly at first.
but by the time the preliminary bouts

ICES why ICY" is so justly termed the
Grand Old Man" Of base ball. why he
is beloved by all. whether actively en-
gagged as players or spectators.
Base ball never did have q man who
was a greater credit to it than this same
ICY" Big, brawny and powerful, ac-
customed to the warfare of the diamond,
to pitting his strength Of mind and body

being the hero of wildly frantic popu-

'Cy'' has never lost that modesty which
marked him the day he entered base ball
over two-score years ago.
His heart has ever been tender and
easily touched. Today his heart is just
as big. yes. bigger, than his body. He is
big in all the term implies. in every
thing. An act which could be termed

charged against the &c. O. NJ"

brought from the farm in Tuscarawas

a sample of the wholesome tender
heartedness of the big fellow was ex-
hibited by the sentiment which he showed
over a letter received today from a news
boys club in Boston.
"Cy".is human. He likes appreciation.
But only too well has he learned the
fickleness of the crowd. Perhaps that
was one of the reasons why he appre-
ciated so thoroughly the letter mentioned

priced as one o fthe most sacred of
Young's belongings.
There was no formality about the let
ter. 1t started out Dear Cy,' and that
was the first thing which touched the
veterans tender chord. The letter re-
auested a short message from Cy for use
in the Boston Newsboys Magazine called

seen much of the rough stun in this old

outpointed Harlem Tommy" Murphy in
a fast ten-round bout at the Fairmont
Athletic Club last night. With the pos
sible exception ofathree rounds. in which
Murphy held his own, Mcfarland had all
the better of the boxing.
Wonderfully clever with either hand,
lightning fast and always aggressive, the
Chicago wizard soon had Murphy bewii-
dercd. On the other hand. the local boy
stuck to his guns with rare courage, ana
when he finally seemed to realize the
hopelessness of the task he took all kinds
Of chances, wading in In the hope OF
stemming the tide with single punch.

After that the tide turned. and McFaf-
land soon proved once more that he Is
one OF the best boxers of the day.
. When the boys shook hands Murphy as
stunned the offensive. He took several
jabs on the face. but hammered away
at the body. Mcfarland used his height
and reach to good effect. He crossed a
heavy right to the jaw, but the Harlem
warrior closed in and landed several hard
blows in exchange.
Packey started like a whirlwind in the
second round. He jabbed away and land
ed several clean blows. Murphy led q
left, but the Chicago lad blocked it and
uppercut a vicious right to the face. Tn
daunted, the Harlem boy tore in and sent
the crowd into an uproar by knocking
Mcfarland across the ring with a terrific
right cross to the jaw Paekey was
lowed up the advantage by standing
him up on his heels with left hook and
had the honors OF the round.
Mcfarland flashed to the fore in the
third round, boxing with all his mastery

the uncrowned lightweight king drove
him back with vicious counters. He

..Packey'' shot home his blows with

Mcfarland gave the local boy terrific

knocked him out. He sent Murphy crash

on the chin, and leaped in to follow with
left and right. Murphy tried to fight, but
the westerner tented him into ducking
an imaginary lead which left wide
opening. Like a springing panther,
'.Packey'' shot left and right to the jaw.
Murphy's knees sagged under him and
his arms dropped to his side. For an
instant it appeared as If he would be
knocked out, but he lunged into clinch
and lasted the round out.

Advent

The subject of the sermon last Sunday
morning was The New Birth, text
John 3:3, Except man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God"
The thoughts brought forth by Pastor
Peabody were as follows: There are
two great classes of people in the world,
looking in different directions for their
pleasure; those looking to the attrac-
tons of the world and those having
something better from above. We can
not work or force our way into the king
dom, except by the means described.
The source of character must be made
pure, partakers of the divine nature.
Have Christ within the hope of glory.
Then there will be an overflow to help
others. As the blacksmith. cannot form
iron without a fire, so there must be the
fire of the Holy Spirit to melt the cold
heart that it may be formed in righteous
ness. 1t is not enough to hammer truth
into the head. I'VE must be born again. I"

CRANE, a French murderer, who de-
termined to starve himself to death
and from day to day after his arrest
refused to eat. In spite of every effort
on the part of his keepers, who first
tried to tempt him to eat by placing
the most dainty meals in his cell and
when that failed attempted feeding
him by force, he held out for sixty
three days. at the end of.which period
he died. With the exception of CRANES

The Insurgent Bubble

The LaFollette bubble was neatly
pricked when the regular Republicans
kindly stepped aside and relieved the
Democrats of the necessity of further
dealing with him. The Republicans were
tired of his accidental Importance. The
Democrats found the necessity OF letting
him enjoy it irksome. The whole Senate
was weary of his lordly ways and his
leisurely compelling of it's escape from
Washington to wait upon his making the
most of his opportunity to pose before
the nation as the master of the situation.
The alacrity with which the Democrats
accepted the avenue of escape shows how
fully they realized the ridiculous situation
in which they as party had been placed
in permitting themselves to be ruled by
the discredited rump of another party.

The utilization of water is means of
rural betterment. Morrisville, VT, with
population of 400, has never held a
conference of rural social workers, but a
few of it's business men including the
| Judge of tie supreme court, have utilized
| the springs of water on the adjacent hills
and the Lamoile river that runs through
the village. They have done this, not
| by forming private corporation and
selling the monopoly to the highest
bidder for their own personal gain. On
the contrary they have served without
pay as board of electric and water
commissioners and have created NUM-
cipal plant that will soon pay for itself
and later become source of perpetual
income to the community. Water is
furnished for domestic use and for pro.
lection against fires at half the price
charged by private corporations, Elec-
trio lights are provided for cents a kilo.
watt, current for cooking ranges for
dollar month, power factories at $50 a
horsepower for year and current for
the electric railroad for half whatit cost
the company to provide its own power.
A large dairy farm uses the electric
power to light the buildings and run the
machinery. Country people outside the
village are enjoying the benefit of the
municipal plant. The commission has
built a concrete dam 320 feet long and
20 feet high, making lake five miles
around the shore line which add to the
beauty of the landscape and attracts
summer visitors to the new cottages in
grove on the bluff.
In the neglected mill privileges in New
England and in the highland springs the
rural communities possess the means
right at hand for turning night into day,
for doing away with drudgery and for
the development of wealth that shall
be source of continual income.
In the years to come water in Massa-
chusetts will be more valuable than
gold. 1t will be the essential element in
the creation of all wealth and necessary
for the preservation of life itself. Who |
ever controls the springs, streams and
lakes of our commonwealth will be lord |
of all. The Scources of these are in the |
hill towns, on the farms and the wood |
lots of the country people. 1t is high |
time that they should be taught to esti |
mate water at it's true valuable, to CON
serve it and utilize it for the enrichment |
not of absentee landlords or of gigantic |
corporations.
But individual effort will not suffice.
The community itself must through |
cooperation secure the peoples natural |
monopolies and develop them for the
good. Love of his own native
town should lead a man to look out for
its future prosperity. He who gives his
town library, a school or church does |
well. He who organizes successful
municipal water and light and heat
plant makes for hims elf a memorial that
shall endure and bless mankind as long
as life is transmitted from generation to
generation.
