upon the desks of the legislators this
week In view of the impending tax
legislation, it is interesting to note what
Bank Commissioner L. G. Williams says
on the matter of taxes:
During the past few years there
has been remarkable increase in de-
posits and number of depositors in the
banks in Vermont, eliminating this
year in the largest increase in the his
tory of the state. This indicates that
the number OF persons in Vermont who
are saving and accommodating money
against future needs is increasing. Ia
BILE No. shows that the average de-
post OF each resident of Vermont is
$4,000, and an examination of the de-
posits in the banks Of the state by
the bank commissioner discloses the fact
that a very large proportion of the $780,
100000 of deposits is owned by people
of small means, and that only com.
paratively small amount of this money
would pay any tax to the state or mu-
inequalities, were it not for the fact that
it is accumulated in the banks
Another report which is being studied
by the legislators is that of the public
service commission There are many
members in the House holding different
opinions from the commission regarding
the right of the commission to extend
its supervision over the matter of COM
petition of public service corporations.

A pleasing incident in connection
with the class Just graduated is that
In 1904, when Superintendent Bliss
reorganfzed the. grades in the then
just completed Roosevelt building,
eighteen of the present members of
this class were in the fourth grade.
During that term an old-fashioned
spelling bee was arranged, the re-
suit of which ended in the members
of the fourth grade spelling down.
the entire school. The senior class
OF that year was among the "spell-
ers" and was the first to go down in
the contest. Seven of the members
OF the 1912 class entered the fifth
grade in the following year.

EVERY WIRE To
BRACE UP TEAM

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July "a
AS the first step in the complete re-
juvenation or renovation of the Look
outs, Manager Billy Smith has released
Paul Sentell outright, or rather an
nounced that he will unless a trade is
manufactured for him in ten days, and
has signed Outhelder Wasem of the
Admission club.
The passing of Sentell came as a
great surprise locally, and, in fact, all
around the circuit, as the peppery one
has been associated with Southern
league ball so long that he was re-
garded as a fixture Paul has been
slowing up rapidly in the past few
months, however, and while he is able
to play good baseball if used only
sporadically he grows stale and inef-
fective if played regularly.
Paul has realized for the past two
years that, in view of his incipient
senility, he would be out of the South
ern league for good if he ever re-
ceived an injury that would incapaci-
tate him for any length Of time, and
to incur any such mishap He has
been saving his arm on the close ones
for some time, allowing scratches to go
for bingles, and his tagging at second
has been miserable all during the pres
ent season, for the simple reason that
he is afraid to take a chance on get
ting spiked Paul's assiduous efforts
at preservation did not render him an
idol either with Smith or fandom
The local pitching staff, although the
records do not show it, because of in
ferior support on both the offensive and
defensive, is going better than any in
the league Coveleskie is actually
pitching in his 1910 form, and if the
team will brace up behind the hurlers
the Lookouts will come laundering
down the stretch neck and neck with
the leaders Ware is not being used
regularly now, in view of the beautiful
bali which is being served up by the
regular quartet composed of Coveles-
kie, More Allen and Chappelle. All
four of the latter group are undoubtedly
serving up the best ball Of their ca
reers.
Hannah showed little in the past
week. but the catching is really fa!
from bad. The use of Noyes in the out
field prior to Wasems acquisition has
made 1t necessary that the huge Tiger
recruit catch every game, and in view
of the intense heat Of the southern di-
vision he is not equal to the task.

By Rube Maruuard.

Y YOU'VE doubtless heard, or read,
that famous baseball yarn about
Crazy" Schmidt, the fellow who
Kept note book in his hip pocket
when he was pitching, filled with no.
tations on the weaknesses of the big
league batters? It's an old timer, that
story, and I've often heard McGraw
tell it as gospel truth.
Schmidt, who now lives around Chi
cage, and occasionally sends McGraw a
promising young hall player, doped out
that book himself. One day when he
was working, Hans Wagner came to
bat in pinch and Crazy" reached for
his book.
Lets see he said, as he thumbed
the pages, watts Vagner's weakness.
Adhere it iss-pase on palls!''
And there you have a great little
pitching system when it comes to
handling that same Wagner today, or
Heine Zimmerman. or any of these
other natural born swatters, if the
bases are leaking with runners and a
long drive means a defeat,
You can spend life time thinking
out a system for yourself and study
ing batters, but when birds like that
are up in front of you systems and
everything else go to smash.
Still, you have to have some kind of
system. because all batters, luckily for
us pitchers, are not Wagners, or Zim-
mefmans, or Meyerses so I'll tell you
something about the system I've used
since l came to the big league.
| have found that it isn't a bad
scheme to watch batter's eyes after
YOU have looked him over in other
ways Generally the batter seems to
pick out spot, with his eyes. where
he figures to hit the ball, and he shifts
his position to suit. Then l can usual
ly guess just about what he is looking
for. His eyes give me a sort of clew
Sizes Up the Batters.
For instance man Is at bat with
three men on bases Surprising ne
stands a foot and a half away from the
plate. l take it he is figuring on speed,
and l try to cross him with curve, or
slow ball If he stands in close to the
plate, little forward. and grips his
bat close up, I naturally argue that he
intends to bunt, and cut loose at him.
! try to make the batter go after bad
balls Get him in the hole, and then
don't give him anything but speed.
Take risk on throwing a ball, if you
want to, but a straight shot cutting the
heart of the pan may give him a hit,
and lose you the game. 1t is remark
able how a batter viii go after bad balls
when he is anxious for pinch hit
In the game with Chicago, when they
upset me recently Sheckard had two
balls and no strikes. Two men were
on the bases | guess he thought I'd
walk him, but grzzled two right over
for strikes, and then hoped all had
across He didn't know It was passing
until it struck the catcher's glove. 7
take it he was looking for a curve that
time
believe 1t is wisdom to throw
curve in pinch. Most batters can not
help hitting them to the dirt for an in
field out The reason Is rather simple.
it seems to me. When the curve breaks
on the batsman, his bat does not hit It
squarey Still he hits it hard enough
on the nose not to foul it, but not quite
hard enough to drive it straight. A
fast ball sometimes helps me in the
pinch because it drives many batters
away from the plate.
I'd rather use my fast ball than a
