there was person within reach OF
his voice who had ever sneered al
the constitution and the men who
wrote it more frequently and con
spiciously than the speaker. Mr.

Asadrowa, are likely to next start a
campaign against the retention of the

fundamental rule of the sport was

through the laziness Of golfers who

glass arms would bs practically un-
known.
The first thing a manage has to do
ia to find out II the new players have
real ability. In this they are often
mistaken. as some men show form
much more quickly than others. Usu-
ally. though, a ball players natural ae-
tions show whether he has ability or
not even before he goes on to the field
for regular work..
All Must Be Drilled.
These young players have to be tried
out-in every possible way &c as to test
them. So far an tho old players are
concerned. they need no training. The
mere act of warming up and getting
rid of early soreness 10 enough for
them. One Of the most painful sights
In the woriG is a collection of ball
players OIL the day following their first
appearance in uniform. Some OF them
become 80 sore that they cagnot sleep.
n others are unable to w4lk.
No matter how able a player may be
or whatever may be his past record,
he must be drilled In team work. be-
cause he is likely to be working along
side a different man from the one he
playedswith the previous season,
1t takes several weeks to get them
working in harmony. Any fan knows
what a bungle 1t is when both the
shorts.op and second 1aseman fail to
cover second. They also know how
crude 1t looks to see any player leave
a bag uncovered. The player has got
to be continuously drilled to prevent
just that kind OF thing. No man can
read another's mind. and 1t Is there
fore necessary to have some kind Of
understanding. and the entire team
must know the system thoroughly.
This Is done by a regular series of sig
mails.
No Dieting Necessary.
As to diet and sleeping hours the old
player Is allowed to use his own judg-
ment. The men eat anything they
want, and they usually want enough
to give a dyspeptIc heart disease. This
main goal Of a ball player In training
is the dining room. Remarkable az IL
may seem, the very things that other
athletes are d~enied-pastry and des-
serts-ferm the principal part of 4
bali players diet They are all very
fond of sweets. Ii Is not uncommon
to see a strapping athlete sit down at
q table and order four kinds OF pie in
addition to ice cream and cake They
are also fond OF salads, like lobster
and chicken. and they are allowed to
eat all they want.

STEAL METALS
FROM FACTORY
Clever Thief at Work Police
Have Clues.

Repeated thefts Of gold, silver
and other valuable metals that are
alleged to have been made In local
refining factory have been discover
ed, 1t Is claimed, and as a result the
local police are hot ON the trail OF
those suspected of the work. De-
tectiyes HUFF and Long, with the
assistance Of other members OF the
efforts to unearth evidence OF the
crimes and up to this time, 1t is un-
derstood, they have received much
valuable Information that may lead
to the arrest of number OF en-.
ployes OF the works in question.
AS the police and officials of the
company have been working secret
ly on the matter for some days past,
details Of the alleged robberies have
not been made public as yet. When
arrests are made and the suspects
brought to trial 1t Is expected that
some interesting facts will be told,
for according to information already
received the stealing has been going
on for some time and thousands OF
dollars worth of metal may have
been carried away.
1t appears that the thefts have
been made at intervals when the
culprits thought 1t best, that is,
when there was no evidence OF any
detection, and they were made in
small amounts. 1t is declared gold
and silver were carried out In the
bottom OF shoes, in paper bags,
lunch boxes and parts of wearing
apparel.
