II hate to be referred to as a brute,
says Tyrus Cobb, now in the zenith
of his great career. "It isn't very pleas
ant for a fellow to be called a rough
performer, and a deliberate crippler
of his fellow-man. 1 wouldn't inten-

my salary, ana yet whenever some
body bumps up against these spikes of
mine they all say / do it Intentionally,
and discuss which would be the better
way-to eliminate the spikes or to

Lets have a little understanding
about this thing, and, also, let's go
back into baseball history a little way.
Long ago, there were players, some
of them slower and heavier than my

bulk and slowness, stole o bases

were dozens of men who made good

wasn't considered at all remarkable.

him off from reaching the bag. They

BIG PITCHING SQUADS RESPONSIBLE

vidual men on each staff, and lack of
work is bound to affect the control and
the endurance of any athlete. With
eight or ten pitchers at his disposal
a manager sometimes will not call

then put him into a tight hole as likely
as not. Som pitchers work so seldom
that regular patrons of the team do
not know them by sight.

protected in the pitching department.

The batsmen do not want to be kept

They say they have enough of that to
do in the games, and take enough
chances of getting hit when the battle

risks in practise. The men at bat want
to hit the ball, and hit it squarely,

Gossip of the.

Observation-Disclosures

When Johnny McGraw leads his
doughty Giants against the Athletics
in the worlds series this fall. he isn't
going up against any cheese cham
pions. as the Tigers we're dubbed after
they had thrice captured the Ameri-
can League pennant and thrice been
licked by the National League win
ners.
The Athletics are the real, dyed-in-
the-wool thing in the champion line.
They lead all the other clubs in Big
Bans circuit in team hitting and field
ing. and have made more runs and hits
and less errors than any of the others.
The batting average of the Mackmen
Is .294 and their fielding average 1892.
Detroit ranks second in pinging the
pill and the White Sox second in field
ing.
Judging by the way McGraw is being
forced to run on high speed right up
to the wire in the National it is going
to require something more than the
superior ~baserunning of the Giants
to stop the Athletics, whose stars will
be fresh and in good fighting trim.

Pendleton, of Princeton, who did not
make as spectacular a finish last year
as was predicted for him during a
brilliant preliminary season, is likely
to fill the bill his year If played at
quarter. The Tigers will run many OF
their plays from direct pass from
centre.

pears were of the Bartlett varie-

tree upon which the fruit was
grown was about five years of
of age. IT proves the theory
that pears and peaches and the
more tender variety of fruits can
be grown with success in the

Barney Dunn of this city came near
losing his life last Friday afternoon
when he was struck by falling tree
while at work at the Ryan camp on
the Odanah reservation. Mr.. Dunn
was brought to the ST. Joseph hospit-
al at Ashland last Friday evening and
for few days little hope was enter
tanned for his recovery. Reports
from the hospital are now more en-
couraging and it is stated that he will
pull through all right. One of Mr..
Dunn's arms were crushed so that it
became necessary to use wire to keep
the fracture in place, and it will not
be known for some time whether or
not the arm can be saved. Mr..
Dunn's shoulder and chest were also
injured. For one or two days he was
in a critical condition. Washbum
friends hope for speedy recovery.

With the entire bunch singing,
"Cheer, Cheer, the gangs all here"
the Duluth Jobbers and Manufacture

the 3rd Regiment band of Minnesota
which accompanied the Association,
marched down the street as far as
Washington avenue and from that
point the members of the association
went to the different business places
for the purpose of meeting the pro-
prietors, the purpose being to divert
trade to Duluth wholesale and jobbing
houses and to get better acquainted
with the retailers in the towns
throughout northern Wisconsin.
The excursionists represented all
of the biggest Jobbing and Manufac-
turing houses in Duluth. They all
wore white caps with red ribbon
for band with the word Duluth
printed in gold letters. They we're
well supplied with advertising matter,
buttons and banners, which were dis
tributed about the city. The Duluth
sJobbers and Manufacturers were
Jolly bunch of fellows whom it was
a pleasure to meet. Besides drum
