A greater number OF pitchers will
be employed by the major league
clubs this year than ever before. Sew
eral managers had more than fifteen
pitchers at the southern camps. and
all the team leaders declare they Will
carry an extra supply OF box men.
The demand for pitching material has
developed into mania which Is fat
tening the expense accounts OF the
magnates to an alarming degree.
Pitchers nowadays complain that
they are overworked II they take part
in more than one or two games a
week. Some of them insist that they
must have at least four or nve days
rest after a siege of nine innings. no

may be. That is why the club own

KNOCK ON BASEBALL SLANG
College Game or "Murderous" EXPIRES.
slons Accompanying II Should Be
Abolished, Says Professor.

College baseball or the "murderous"
slang expressions that accompany It.,
should be banished from the earth,
according to Dr. John S. Nollin, presi'
dent of Lake Forest college. He
quoted the following as some of the
terms that so greatly crate upon his
sensitive ears:
Kill the umpire"
when did you leave the farm?"
"'Tain't no strike, get OF the dia'
mond," and you ought to pitch hay. -
81 feel that If some OF the barbarity
of the game is not abolished. the game
should be. am astonished at the
conduct Of Lake Forest students
When the Milliken pitcher gave q
base on balls everybody jeered him
1t was most ungentlemanly. Most!
This is due to the inroads of pro
fessional baseball on the college. Con
duct of students at football games Is
becoming better and at baseball
games is worse"

Beer Drinking and Longevity.

Insurance doctors are much against
beer drinking Dr. Rogers of the New
York Life, in reference to beer. says;
Recently had occasion to make some
study of what happens among persons
engaged In the manufacture of beer.
My cases included not only the work
men engaged in breweries, but also
he proprietors of breweries. 1t is a
furious fact that the mortality among
he proprletors is about as high as
among the workmen, showing that
hey are all given to copious libations.
The mortality is strikingy low among
brewers in early years. Up to forty
or thereabout, brewers seem &c be
about as good risks as pretty much
anybody else. After forty the NOR
tality rises very high. and should
say that at fifty-five or sixty years OF
ago about three brewers may be ex-
pected to die where one average per-
son dies"

High Purpose Not Enough,

II is not enough to have the right
aim or purpose in what we do. We
nay have the aim or purpose OF Christ
himself, yet do great harm. Our meth
IDS as well as our aim must be right.
When we would be used OF Christ to
)ring others to him, for example, It is
possible actually to misrepresent him
by criticizing or condemnlng those
whom we would reach, or by trying to
crowd them into a decision that must
be made in free will or not at all. and
thus to antagonize them and drive
them further away from Christ than
ever. Our purpose is good, but our
methods defeat II. This does not
mean that we should therefore aban-
don our efforts at soul winning; for
the worst mistake In that work is not
the mistake of doing 1t wrongly but
of not doing 1t at all. 1t does mean,
however that we should ask our Lord
himself to show us how to do his will,
quite as much AS what his will Is. In
Christ's service, as in all else, let us
work and pray to do Alright what our
hands find to do"

more than half OF them are not first

Christy Mathewson is an exception
to the rule. He is willing to pitch as
often as McGraw calls upon him. but
It must be remembered, too, that
Matty is said to be drawing $4,000 a

big salary this season. will not pitch
unless he is physically ready. That

with President Farrell. OF the High

can be no excuses and I'll come pret.

Ford won 26 games and lost 6 last
year. working along on these lines
and as results count he will be al.
lowed to follow this policy again.

Who Keep the saloons7

It is sometimes said that the ma
jority of our saloonkeepers are of for
eign birth. This is no doubt true. We
observed the names of 1872 which were
published In the papers of this city
recently, together with the names OF
their sureties. 1t is safe to say that
nine out of every ten names was a

foreign. One brewers name appeared

Athwart the bosom Of the air

PROMOTERS OF BOXING
BOUTS GET COLD FEET
BY Associated Press.

New York. May 2O.-The promoters
of the international boxing tourna-
ment" announced today that the series
of bouts scheduled for tonight at
Madison Square Garden had been
postponed to some date not yet fixed.
This action followed the raid made
upon the tournament at it's opening
last night, when eleven officials and
boxers were arrested on the charge of
aiding and participating in a prize
fight. The ground taken by the police
is that the promoters broke the law by
selling tickets to persons not members
of the Pastime Athletic Club. which
managed the affair.
The tournament was the most am
bilious attempt to conduct the fighting
game on a large scale that has been
made here since the passage of the
present law. The promoters believed
they had complied with the provisions
of the statute by making the. bouts
amateur affairs.
The referee, time keeper and a
ticket seller and one of the boxers have
been held for further examination in
court this afternoon.

Louisville, KY, May 20.-After hav-
ing disposed of preliminary work of
the session the fifty-first general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church in
the United States (South) today took
up reports of interim committees. DR.
W., e. Boggs, of Atlanta, chairman of

funds be provided so the committee
could meet some time this summer
and discuss the subject. He also sug-
gested that two additional members
be added to the committee and offer

ander White, D. D. LID, of Column
bia Seminary, South Carolina, and A.
M. Scales, of Greensboro, N. C.
