Many Others Got Away.

The management Of the Cincinnati
baseball team has always been noted
for allowing star players to get away
and become most valuable members of
other teams in the same circuit. In
fact, It used to be a saying in the
National league that a player never
had the o. X. stamp affixed until he
had been released by Cincinnati.
Now it looks as If Hughey Jennings
was the Santa Claus of the American
league. Certainly Hughey has turned
loose more good men than any of his
rivals in the circuit. AS a starter he
gave Ira Thomas to Connie Mack and
big Ira has been the mainstay of the
Athletics behind the bat ever since,
helping to cut two post-season melons.
Later on Hughey decided he did not
like Jimmy Archer's style behind the
bat. He released Jimmy to Buffalo
and Frank Chance grabbed him. He
has been the one bet as backstop in
the National league since that time.
Along about that time Jennings had
on his list Of recruits a Tri-State
league outfielder and a Wisconsin
pitcher. The New York Yankees were
hard UP for players and Jennings
kindly consented to let Farrel's club
have both men, as he could not figure
how either man could strengthen his

What ultimate political or CONNER
cial motives, if any, underlie the sur-
face of the enterprise time only can
show.
This is by no means the first at
tempt made to explore the Dead sea
region. Lieut.. w. F. Lynch of the
American navy, as early as the year
1848 spent considerable time in re-
search and exploration of that region
at the expense of the American gov
eminent and at great risk to his per-
son.
Despite the hardships, Lieutenant
Lynch was fairly successful in taking
measurements as we'll as soundings
of different parts of the lake. Accord
ing to the lieutenant's narrative, the
lake measures some 46 miles from
north to south and from 6 to IL miles
east and west. It's total surface area
was therefore computed to be $50
square miles. Its greatest depth was
1900 feet at its northern end, and its
shallowest part being at its southern
extremity, varies from s to Is feet
only.
: The lakes depression below the sea
level is 1872 feet and a tropical
climate makes its temperature almost
unbearable during certain seasons of
the year.
