TALKS ON BASEBALL.
By |. NJ. A FAN

Christy Mathewson, master of the
fadeaway. blames Ty Cobb for De-
vore's failure to hit Eddie Plank in the
worlds series last year Devore struck
out four times in four trips to the
plate in the second game of the series.
In an article entitled Take Him Out
printed in Parsons Magazine and APP
pearing under Mathewson's name. he
tells this story:
When Devore was going to Philadel-
phia for the second game of the worlds
series last fall, the first one in the
other town. he was introduced to Ty
Cobb, the Detroit outfielder. by some
newspaper men on the train, and as it
was the first time Devore haG ever
met Cobb he sat down with him. and
they talked all the way over
Gee" said Josh to me as we were
getting off the train, that fellow Cobb
knows a lot about batting. He told me
some things about the American league
pitchers just now, and he didn't know
he was doing it. l never let on. But 1
just hope that fellow Plank works to-
day if they think l am weak against

book about that guy and his grooves
now after buzzing Cobb, and the funny
thing is he didn't know he was telling
me-"

game.

l think Iy was giving me a bad steer

| filling up Josh with misinformation
| that was working around in Devore's
mind when he went to the plate to face
Plank, and instead of being open to

stantly trying to confirm them Plank

ing trading posts far out on the ranges
and tabIshing a traffic with the In
dians.
The first transcontinental railroad di-
vided the buffaloes into two great
herds and put an end to their migra-
ton. The railroad increased the num-
Der of hunters, and the vast herds soon
became things of the past.
Reminders of the lost herds of buff
faloeS are still in existence in the Da-
kotas and Montana. The homestead
er's pillow now and then turns up a
buffalo bone, and many of the trails
to springs and creeks used today by
range cattle are known to have been
made originally by buffaloes. Dc
casionally on the prairies are to be
found buffalo powders" At a dis
lance they appear no different from
others, but closer inspection shows
them to be surrounded by a well beat
en- trough several feet wide. These
powders, within the memory of old
cattlemen, were used by the buffaloes
as rubbing places in their wanderings
over the treeless prairies. Another
reminder of the lost herds are the
buffalo wallows," great circular de-
pressions common on the plains, where
the ranchers say the buffaloes former
~ punched together.
ANIMAL PRESERVES
The few remaining buffaloes in this
country have been corralled on private
and public preserves. The Wind Cave
National park, near the Black Hills
district, South Dakota. comprising
some 10000 acres, which may be en-
larged by an additional 5000 acres,
may eventually be the permanent home
of whatever remains of the vast herds
that roamed our prairies. The beaver,
the elk, the Rocky mountain sheep
and the antelope also may find home
here, where they can live in security
protected from the hunters rife
Like the buffalo. the beaver in its
wild state is almost extinct in the
United States Once it was abundant
and widespread In the Maine and
Adirondack wildernesses. in the Nichi-
gan peninSulas. in the headwaterS OF
the Mississippi. in the mountainous
portions of Virginia. Pennsylvania and
even Mississippi ard in the forest coua-
try between the Mississippi and Puget
sound its kind was once almost as nu-
merous rs that of the fox squirrel. In
fact. it is recorded that during the
early part of the last century as many
as 10000 beaver skins were shipped
each year from America to European
countries
Yet today it is doubtful if the beaver
can be found wild anywhere within
the borders of the United States.
Like the buffalo. the beaver was
once most intimately associated with
the life and development of this coun-
try. Its thrifty habits and remarkable
| home life. its wonderful dams. canals
locks. houses and other engineering
works. showing an intelligence and
skill almost human, made it prominent
in the minds of the pioneers of the
land and an object of superstition to
| the Indians The names of Beaver

Falls, Beaver River, Beaver Dam and
Beaver Lake show how strong was the
influence exerted by the beaver on the
pioneers of the northern states.
1900 ANTELOPE LEFT
Another animal peculiar to North
America that is disappearing under
the advance of civilization is the prong
horned antelope. There are about IT,
600 of this species left. Its great re-
duction in numbers has been viewed
with alarm by naturalists, and means
for its preservation have been taken up
by the government. There is now
large herd in Yellowstone park. Wyom-
ing. A herd is also being raised in the
buffalo preserves at Wichita, Kan
The government has also been
guardian to birds which the devastat-
ing hand of time has made scarce
The pelican, which you have perhaps
never seen alive outside of menag-
erie is being preserved for future gen.
erationS.
On the east coast of Florida there is
a small island overgrown with tropical
| vegetation and fringed with rank
marsh grasses. For years the pelican
| lived there, steadily increasing in num-
Der. The territory knows only one
| name-Pelican island. The birds were
| unmolested Not being good to eat.
| the hunter passed them by. The south
ern people loved them because of the
! ancient lore which surrounded them
| with mystery
Then came the modern sportsman
with an eye for big game His butch
cry almost wiped out the pelican tribe.
| The government was aroused. and the
| pelican was spared from further dam
| age by the careless hunter
The object of the government is
simply to save every bird. fish and
animal of this country from ruthless
slaughter. The federal control of game
merely supplements and does not
| hamper or replace the work hitherto
| done by state commissions and organ
izations. 1t simply co-operates with
| the latter, thus assuring more uniform
and satisfactory results than could
| otherwise be obtained

protection of migratory birds have long

President John NJ Ward is using
1876 methods on his Boston Nationals,
so say the Boston critics. He expects
his pitchers to do as much base run
ming and batting as any one. He in
structed one once to try to hit bit
sooner at the ball just after he had
seen that one ground out to the second
baseman. By hitting sooner, Ward told
him. he would hit singles through the
pitcher. all of which is very TRUE
Pitcher Hub Perdue says Ward ought
not to expect them to play as the boys
did in re when there's no one on the
team who saw the games of '76.

Gle Sam, who has reached out pro
tecting hand, perhaps a little late in
some instances, but nevertheless In
time to save the few remaining species
which are now all but extinct.
For years there has been state
legislation for the protection of ami
mails, birds and fish. Certain seasons
are set aside when sportsmen are per-
mitted to do their worst, which they
do, with the result that soon we will
find this part of the hemisphere strip
ped of its wild animal life.
Fur bearing types have been the
greatest objects of attention since the
white man took possession of North
America The otter, the bear, the
beaver and the mink of America sup
piled this country and a large part of
Europe with fur. Trappers and trad
ers spread over North America, gained
the assistance Of friendly Indians and
annually shipped thousands of pelts
across the Atlantic. The seal also
came in for its share of slaughter, but

possession of the United States that
the fur variety was attacked to such
an extent that only the timely inter
vention of the United States, with the
cooperation of several foreign pow
ers, saved it from probable extermina-
ton.
PROTECTING THE FUR SEAL
The fur seal can now be killed only
at certain seasons, a limited number
and variety alone being open to the
coveteous hunter. The habitations of
the seal are patrolled by revenue cut
tiers during the closed season, and fire.
quently poachers are thus caught and
brought to judgment If the govern
ment had not stepped In and stopped

The bison has perhaps suffered most
since the white mans occupation of
North America. As the country grew
and civilization spread. the precious
and sacred hunting grounds of the red
man were disturbed. Countless bison,
then to be found on the vast plains,
were killed by the pioneers, and upon
the advent of the railroad wholesale
destruction occurred
The day the Northern Pacific was com
pleted no fewer than 5000 hunters were
scattered along its line engaged in
slaughtering buffaloes and other ami
mails for their hides In days gone by
the extensive prairies of Wyoming. Ne
braska, Utah and Colorado Were black
with herds of buffaloes, which roamed
over that fertile region. 1t is interest
ing to note that. Notwithstanding the
fact that these animals We're the In
dams source of sustenance and were
hunted for their hide and meat, these
representative American animals did
not begin numerically to decline until
the white hunter got on their trail

time when they rode over the plains il

Monte Cross is one of the old timers
who think that baseball has improved
in recent years Cross gave it as his

1t is rather strange that the average
patron of baseball lacks the conf
dence in the manager just as soon as
things are not going right. Let a few
games be lost and every nine out of
ten so called fans will be there with
suggestion for changing the lineup of
the team.
1t stands to reason that the individ-
ual most vitality interested in a teams
success is its manager, and when that
man has had twenty-five years ex-
perience in baseball it would be wise
to display confidence in his Judgment
But it Is perhaps the reason for the
popularity of the sport that the spec
tators consider themselves capable of
doing the managing
1t is privilege which goes with
every admission ticket. Incidentally,
it is but natural that the so called
fan should have no trouble convincing
himself of the logic of his argument
when the team is not doing what 10
should. but it also stands to reason
that the only way success can be at
tanned is to have one man use his
judgment.
