BIGGEST CITIES OF WORLD
London Still Far In Lead, but New
York Is Growing Faster Than
Any Other.

London, the largest city in, the
world, has a population, as now off,
cially announced, of 7,252,963, as
against 6,581, 400 in 1901-an increase
in ten years of 1861, or only 1912
per cent. The population of Now York
is 4,766,883, and with a gain in the
ten years of 1877 per cent, is growing
faster than any other great city In
the world. At the rate at which the
two largest cities are growing it will
take a long time for New York to
catch up with London; but It would be
a great misfortune If it ever did catch
up-there is too much congestion In
New York already. The third city In
size is Paris, whose population is prob
ably 100000. The fourth city Is per-
haps Berlin, which had little over
100000 five years ago. Tokyo and
Chicago fall little under the $780,
900 mark, and st. Petersburg, Vienna,
Canton, Picking, Moscow and Philadel-
phia are below 1000. 000.-Rocheste

Giants are well fortified.
In Philadelphia the fans believe that
Mack will have to do a lot Of tall coach

Base ball writer's in the Quaker City say
that Mack has not a pitcher who is an
adept at holding a runner at first base.
They did, however. in last years world
series They also say that Mack has not
the best throwing catchers in the Ameri-

have to teach his players to interpret the

That was the system that the Athletics
used against the Cubs last year, and in
1906, when they played the Giants for the

sent the fans" of Troy wild when he
jumped over an eighteen-inch wire fence
and grabbed a fly ball while sliding down
an embankment into the Hudson river.
This incident occurred at the old Lau-
reate Boat club grounds. A few innings
after he had made the spectacular catch
Schultz himself laced the ball into the
river for a home run.
Previous to last year Schulte's best sea-
son as a home run hitter was in 1908.
He then got seven. Since he has played
with Chicago he has batted over 200 only
once, last year With the exception of
1908. when Schultz was Ill, he has main
tanned a good. consistent average. If
he continues in his present form he will
bat over 300 against this season.
For the seasons of 1904 to the conclu-
sion of the last season Schultz had made
twenty-seven home runs, so it Is with
in the possibilities that he may make
more more home runs In the one sea-
son of 1911 than he has made in all the
other years added together.

How does It benefit the Athletics?
Maybe you do not believe these minor
