Standard was last year with Brockfon and New Britain. He has a batting average of 1928, this season.
 It is not known how this trade will be received by Waterbury fans. Chief Miller was popular there because of his long hits. He had not been f1ft- ting very hard this season, but had contributed a number of long distance drives. Stankard is a more reliable hitter than Miller. Eastman has fsot done much for Waterbury this sea- son.

New York, Teb. 2O.-Charles G..
Gates is at bis home here after travel
ing 5000 miles in a special train In
s~eventy-four hours and nineteen min
utes. He was met at the Grand Cen
trail station by his physician. From
Albany to New York, a distance Of 143
miles, the special train made a mile a
minute, and the 974 miles from Chi
cago was covered in 987 minutes, the
record for that trip in this direction.
In 1909 Frank A. Vanderlip beat this
time by twenty minutes.
DR.. b. Fellowes Davis met the train
at the station. He remained with Mr..
Gates for an hour and then
that while he had expected to lake Mr..
Gates to the New York hospital until
be had made al examination be now
did not consider hat necessary, and
Mr.. Gates went to his home.
A week ago, MIR. Gates told DR.. Da
Wis, he was cranking an automobile
on a ranch owned by himself and Wal
ter -Dupee at San Diego. The crank
suddenly swung around, striking him
on the back of the right leg below the
knee. The blow bruised and cut the
leg 4 year ago hr. Gates nad been
injured similarly on the other leg, and
infection had set in. He at once de-
cided to start east to consult DR.. Da-
Wis, who had attended him on the ear
lier occasion.
Or. Davis said that the wound had
become infected. but that Mr.. Gates
would not lose his leg and that he had
found the trouble less serious than he
had expected.
The cost of the trip TO Mr.. Gates
was So a mile or, roughly, $4,000 for
the trip from Arizona The cost east
of Chicago was $1,s25. which figures
up at about 50 a minute. The fastest
regular train between Chicago and
New York over the same line is the
Twentieth Century Limited. which
makes 1t In eighteen hours. The rec
ord over the same track was made by
a special train carrying Frank A. Van
derlip on March Is, 1909, when Mr..
Vanderlip tried to reach the bedside of
his dying mother. The train, going in
the opposite direction, made the trip
from New York to Chicago ins16 hours
I minutes. The Gates train. while not
equaling this time, holds the record
for the trip coming east.
At every stop John w. Gates, who is
In Port Arthur, was informed by tele-
graph OF the condition OF his son and
Mrs. Charles @. Gates at her heme
in New York also received frequent
bulletins.
Mr.. Gates was resting comfortably
on his arrival here.

Saves Passengers.

Mazatlan, Lower California, reD. 10.
This town turned out en- masse on
the water front to watch the blazing
steamer Benito .Juarez as she came
toward the harbor under full head OF
steam. The 102 passengers jumped
into the shallow water of the bay and
saved their lives, but lost all their
baggage. The flames were discovered
by a pilot who boarded the steamer
outside of the breakwater. He found
the coal bunkers on fire. The crew
fought vainly with hose and pumps.
while the captain got all the passengers
on deck to the windward.
The flames became SO hot that the
sailors ceased playing water on the
fire and turned the streams on the
passengers, whose clothing had begun
to smolder.
Tugs and launches picked up the
passengers In deep water and none
were drowned.

A Few Remarks
On Ice Fishing.

Considerable sentiment just now eS-
lists in this vicinity regarding ice fish
ing and during the past week petitions
have been in circulation for signatures
of those who favor the opening OF the
lakes to fishing. There is also senu-
ment expressed by many who are not
in favor of this transaction and nave
in years passed fought such bills in the
Legislature.
The Journal was in receipt OF the
following letter Monday evening, COM
ing from one of the prominent anglers
in the city. George Monsoon:
The petition now being circulated TO
open certain ponds in this vicinity one
day a week to ice fishing suggests to
reasonable people the foolishness OF
ever having closed them to ice fishing
at all. They were originally closed
chiefly because certain natives were IN
the habit of setting lines as soon as ice
formed and some members of the fam
lily each morning broke out the lines,
removed the fish hung on, rebaited
them and continued the practice
through the season, usually having
several good ones to sell to some mar
fellow who didn't catch any when he
went fishing. To get at these natives
all the rest of us We're deprived of the
privilege of any ice fishing.
Later law was enacted allowing
five lines in the daytime only TO each
family, so that lines could not be left
in over night Right at that point the
natives were practically checked in the
Objectionable features of ice fishing,
but no concessions were then nor since
granted to the rest of us who had for
merly fished-as the commissioners
themselves admitted--in a proper and
legitimate way. and they also agreed
that ice fishing. as carried on by the
average ice fisherman did no harm to
the summer fishing. 1t would seem
therefore that these ponds. now that
the Objectionable features have been
eliminated, should be opened not one
