WILL FEED STOCK
HERE IN TRANSIT

Owing to its greatly increased
stock traffic, much of which comes
from Colorado and Utah points, the
Western Pacific concluded to erect
pens at some Nevada point, in order
that stock may be fed in transit.
Winnenucca was selected as the logi-
cal point and work is now under way.
The new pens, which will be 100x150
feet in dimensions, are calculated to be
sufficiently large to accommodate a
trainload of cattle. Five carloads of
material have been received and con-
struction work is under charge Of
Foreman Updike, of the carpenter

ECCENTRICITIES OF SOME
OF THE BASEBALL PLAYERS

Speaking of the eccentricities
of ball players when they get the
drinking habit. one of the bright
est lines ever pulled was by We'll
don Henley, who cut a big slice
out of the league his first season
Some one asked Henley to have
a drink.
"You know my father always
told me that he didn't drink with
everybody replied Weldon.
'Why?' asked a bystande-.
because everybody didn't ask
him." replied Henley.
George Van Haltren. the old
Giant outfielder. had a signal tip
ping bureau all his own," says
er. Van invented his system.
Van would try to call the turn
on what the pitcher was going
to use. If he decided to go after
a cueve. he never tried to hit any
thing else. He let many good
ones go by because he wasn't
prepared to swing, but when the
Van used to murder the ball. He
was one ofSthe good hitters for
several years.
ivan Haltren's plan reminds
me of being peculiarly successful
against Jesse Burkett," continued
Matty. Jesse was one of the
greatest hitters of his time. The
first time i worked against him
he hit one of my best curves a
mile.
II knew he was waiting for
the kind Of ball / used and ex-
pected 1 would use curves most OF
the time. never gave him an
other curve, and his first hit was
the only one he ever made of me.

Prom the Detroit Tins
While the Tigers play merrily in Cuba
against natives Of the island and some
folks from the United States they bring
to mind that in the major or more impor-
tant minor leagues baseball is one pas
time in which the color line has been
drawn vigorously.
The chief outdoor amusemfnt OF this
country in it's early days did boast OF a
co,ored man or two, but in the last two
decades the negro players have been
forced to work independently. engaging
only with detached clubs which tour the
country > under the names OF various
giants" Just why every negro team
should have giant hooked onto 1t Is
not apparent. but the fact remains tnat
the strong word has stood in high favor.
Ma9nates in organized baseball have
made no efforts to sign negroes. although
there are probably two dozen who would
make GOOD in the big show and others
would come along II an opportunity were
presented. The color question ID one that
white players never have TO bother about
because OF the stand taken by the mag
mates. There is nothing IN baseball law
tc prevent signing colofed men. but the
masnates have passed them up just the

From the Los Angeles Times.
Southern California's famous winter
baseball colony soon will begin to disin-
tegrate and the athletic members of it
before many weeks will again be lighting
the battles of their respective leagues.
some in the great cities of the country
and others in obscure water tank cir
cults.
Within the next month Los Angeles will
send ball-gamers into nearly every crevice
and corner of the country; or. make 1t
broader and say the continent. for the
national game is rapidly becoming inter-
national. Yes; make it still Broader and
include other countries and continents
and the islands of the sea.
In fact the hegira hence has already
started. The other day member OF the
colony boarded steamer for Japan,
where he will occupy himself intoxicating
the scrappy methods OF Muggsy" Nc
Graw. Another has left for Mexico. Yes;
they play baseball in the domain of Diaz,
and it will be the national pastime when
the bulring and cockpits are pointed out
TO tourists as relics of another age.
Others will soon go to British Columbia,
Eastern Canada will claim still others.
while Honolulu will be the objective point
of still others.
Is Ball Players Elysium.
Southern California undoubtedly can
boast more professional baseball players.
managers. and masnates to the square
yard during the winter than any other
section of this merry old mundane. 1t is
the asylum. the elysium. and the Mecca
of an increasing number of Eastern play
ers each season. Add to these the local
products and you have a galaxy of dia-
mond luminarieS that can be located
without the aid of powerful lenses.
Some come to pick up few dollars by
playing winter ball. You know the aver
age ball player is not noted for consist
ency. He will get out and risk leg or
an arm in winter baseball for six bits
game but when it comes to the regular
season he wants the manager 60 under
stand that his time is worth something
like 81, 900 900 a minute. But that is rum
ming out of the base line, So to speak.
Others join the colony with no thought
of winter baseball and the small change
of which it is productive. They find that
Southern California offers uneIuaied ad-
vantages for the diamond athlete who
would keep in good condition the year
round.

sometimes you may slip cog and do
not do as good as one expects" says
Rus Ford, who won twenty-six games
and lost six for the Yankees last season
anu finished up as the sensation of the
American League. II expect to be
among those in the fashionable set in the
pitchers department in our league next
season. although my record may not
come up to that OF last season. There
is no use in batting out that old gag
about being in there taking my turn in
the box. but l hope to get in the best of
condition and go after a record like that
CT last season. 1 think We have a splen-
did team to help me do the trick"
Ford is taking things easy at Mime

Yankees star pitcher is some pumpkins
in this line, and will also try 10 develop
something new in the pill line to serve
UP to the opposition next season.. Ford
was one Of the players who signed the
Fletcher papers. but his proper contract
will be in the Yankee Office after Feb
ruary 10. Ford has no kick on the treat
nent given him by the New York club,
but. like all ball players, will jump at
the Chance II tnere Is good piece or
money in sight Ford will be with the
hill team at a large increase in salary.
Many good things were said about Ford
last season. but no greater tribute was
ever paid to a man in baseball than by
Billy Evans. the good umpire, after Ford
worked in the first game at Philadelphia,
when he made Harry Davis slash the
Czone four times.
There's a star. just as sure AS my
name is Evans. He has the skill, and
has something to the ball which have
not seen in the big league before. His

broke over the plate. Yes; it is kind of
early. but if he can make the ball dance
around the way he did to-day. ] will
stand for the prediction that he will be
sensation
Evans sure hit it right. 1t was not
long before all the umpires in the Ameri-
can League were talking the same way.
A peculiar incident about Ford's loss of
six games last season was that three
went to the Athletics and three to the
Tiger team.
