VeIers on That Road.

For a year or more there has been
an effort on the part of some of those
living in the northern part of the city
to have a mail box located at the
Great Northern depot. Difficulties were
encountered owing to the short time
some Of the trains stopped at the de-
pot, and the matter has been under
consideration of the postof1ce depart
ment for at least a year.
Inspectors ordered the box establish
ed, and then the question arose as to
the kind of box, and how 1t should be
cared for. 1t has finally been decided
to place one of the ~double-door type
of collection boxes at the Great North
ern depot, so that passengers on the
trains can deposit mail therein which
can be collected by the city mail car

or That is the way. Most of the great plays are fOrgotetn unless they win or lose game.
 The score was tied at the time the play was made. but Detroit had run uers on second and third and only one out. Of course our infield was pulled in to try to stop the run at he plate. and the outfeld pulled as close as ir dared come and risk long drive beat ing us hopelessly. The batter hit short line Ay 10 center. almost square lv over second base. h was hit that the second baseman or short stop could have reached by hard work had they been back, but being close they hadn't a chance and il looked as if the ball was going safe. Cobb was on second base. and the name of the other runner I won't tell because it might sound as ii I criticised him. Anyhow. Milan came in as hard as he could come. and he can come some. He scooped the ball by a wonderful running catch, right off his shoe laCes. but as he caught it he lost his bal anCe and started to fall. Instead Of trying to catch himself Ee simply ducked his head. rolled a somersaulf and came up to his feet in position 10 throw. While he was turning that somersault he was thinking It would look to any one that Milan either would have thrown home. on the idea that the runner on third would hold the bag and start after the catch. or snap the ball to second and try to double up the runner there before he could get back. He didn't do either. He cut loose the ball as hard as he could 10 third base IL happened that Milan knew Cobbs quickness and fig ured that Ty would see the catch and get back to second before he could be doubled He figured the other runner would start home before the ball was caught, calculating it couldn't be caught And that is exactly what happened. The runner was off third and going home, Cobb was sliding back to second. and Milan made the double play the only way it could have been made. And I'm certain he didn't have time 10 look at third before he threw. but figured it out in his head while turning a sOmersault and catching the ball.
