The DIAL SYSTEM.

The map which The Tribune published
yesterday conveys an idea Of the i'm
mense extent Of the dual subway sys-
TEN. upon which the Board Of Estimate
is about TO vote. 1t reaches every one
Of the bOroughs, providing rapid transit
been without it. 1t multiplies many
times facilities where they exist and are
overtaXed Where there is one subway
line in Manhattan below the City Hall
now there will he five when the dual
system is completed. From that point
up to Delaney street three will be four
subways in place Of one, and thence up
10 59th street there will he three in place
Of one. Queens, which has no line to
Manhattan now. will have two. ways Of
reaching all parts of it and OF the
other boroughs. too. for single fare.
Richmond. which depends on the ferry,
will be tapped by the system. And The
Bronx will have three lines in place Of
the one subway line 1t has at present,
and this itself will be extended. All sec
tons Of Brooklyn will he put in touch
with Manhattan for a single fare. and
that borough's rapid transit facilities
will be nearly doubled
Nothing like it in comprehensiveness
has ever been done before. In fact. no
preceding traction development has been
comprehensive at all. Our present sub
way is mere north and south line.
The dual system is several north and
south lines and several east and west
lines. all articulated with existing facili-
ties so as to be made as serviceable az
possible to the public. II means more
10 the city than the present subway and
elevated systems put together.

The arrest Of a Greek striker in Mas
sachusetts for defacing the American
flag must be approved. Grant was right
when he said that no man was great
enough to have his name put upon the
American flag. and the same may be
said Of organizations as well as indi-
viduals. The fact that tho offender was
foreigner did not palliate but rather
aggravated the misdemeanor for for

It may not sound spectacular.
but Coach Hefsman calls II the
greatest fielding play he ever sa W
on q college diamond, and I'm well
content 10 agree with him In the
verdict
A VOLUME could be filled with
narration OF Tommy's wonder
ful stunts. Once In a game at
Clemson, with Tech leading In the
last OF the ninth, two out, two
men on bases and the score S to 8
in Techs favor. a nasty fly was hit
back of shortstop. MCMILLAN start
ed back after It and Just as he
was slowing down and settling
himself for the catch he stumbled
and fell There was no time TO get
up, no time TO do anything but
throw himself full length and
stretch out his hands. This he did.
and, lying fat on the ground ON
HIS back and with HE hands be-
yond his head at full length, he
caught the ball, retired the side and
saved the game.
Probably no incident Of his col
lege career showed better his IN
nate baseball instinct than one
which happened when the Tech
team was playing at SpartanburE
with the Wofrord college team.
Tech had a grand team that year
with Lafftse and Day as twirl-
erS--a1d IL won 33 out Of rs games.
The Jackets had just made a clean
run Of IL straight wins and en-
tered the thirteenth game with
some superstitious misgivings. It
was q blustery day. with a gusty
young hurricane blowing into the
faces OF tho fielders. The diamond
was skinned and sandy and to COM
plicate matters the ground keeper
had used overmuch lime on the
lines.
With the score 3 to in Techs
favor IN the eighth inning
and with men ON second and
third beseR the times were
tense The batter hit the first ball
pitched a mighty wsllop toward
Mcmillan. And as he aid SO the
worst gust Of the Gay swept a cou-
pie Of carloads of dirt, sand and
lime down across the field and
right toward Mcmillan. The nurky
blanket reached the clever little In
fielder before the ball did.
The situation looked hopeless. No
man could see through the curtain
Of lime and dirt
Yet suddenly. out of the middle
OF the miniature whirlwind, the
ban shot straight into the first
baseman's hands. the runner was
out and the side retired.

Jumps Six Stories, Dead.

New York, June 13.-Bertha Kinin-
sky, a young girl, bent on suicide, to-
day jumped from a six-story building
in Brooklyn. She landed on her feet,
and, although her back was broken,
che walked some distance before she
dropped unconscious. Miss KinnisBy
was taken to the hospital, where she
died q few minutes later.
An examination showed that the pa
tient had died from a broken back. 1t
is said the girl killed herself because
her sweetheart, said to be Brooklyn
youth of good family, had gone away
short time ago and failed to write.
