It is pretty hard for q ball player to write about the greatest plays he ever made. If he didn't make an oc- casional good play he would have to get out of the business, because that is what he is hired for. And a play CT in the ordinary run of the luck makes so many plays that he knows are foolish and gets SO many call downs from his manager and fellow team mates as well as the public that he is perhaps entitled to a lit tie satisfaction when he has done something slightly above his aver 2~r work. Tn any case. since the public has asked me this question it will pardon me for trying to an swer it as briefly and simply as I can.

 The first gun of the big exhibition will ba sounded tomorrow afternoon and from then on, for th, 5c days. the biplane will cavort above the fair grounds while high powered motor contrivances scoot around the track.
 Phoenix looks mighty good to Bry- ant and Francis, but, of course. they can tell littIe about flying conditions until they have been in the air. They mav be able to get their machines into shape ana take a trial shoot through atmosphere sometime today. If so. they will know more about Phoenix air when the alight.
 IT conditions are right it is probable that these men will ,aSe seN cral local people into the air with them. Harry Welch has been promised a flight il any one is taken up. But this is some thing on which the bird-men cannot figure before hand. The conditions may appear to be ideal from the ground and in higher air levels. prove to be thc very worst. It is necessary to take advantage of any good circum- stance and grab q pas.Sf nger by the scuff of the neck. so to speak, hist him into the blue and get nira down again before the air currents com merce to play pra1ks with th~.nselves and make flying dangerous.
 Both Francis and Bryant have been through some thrilling experiences in the last few weeks. At Tulare the former was caught in a whirl wind and forced to cut a letter in a space of abou- fifty feet to keep from falling. Francis also had nasty trouble with bad air conditions.
 However. their meet there was a huge success. as have been the others which chey have put on all down the coast.

Cardinal Searcher After New Timber Won't Run Much Danger of Being Crowded Into the Poor house.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-Dick Kinsella

 er for the budding athlete, eX-mag-

 ordinary. gets more money than any
 scout eXtant. When Dick was yank-
 ed from Springfield and induced t0
 affiX his name to a Cardinal contract,
 a lot of good change had to go along.
 It is said on reliable authority that
 Kinsella hauls down S5000 per annum. A scout is out only three months.
 Five thousand dollars per three months is $1666.66 2-3 per month. or
 S55.55 per day This also is $2.3l per hour for every hour of the day. Figuring that scout never sleeps. With this modest little stipend in view, the yawning arms of the poor
 house aren't going to stretch out and nab Dick for day or two.
 Mordecai Brown is not going to quit baseball, but he has asked Boss Murphy Of the Cubs either to grant him the salary request ar trade him to some other club. And thereby i hangs a tale that MOrdeCai would welcome a deal that would make him l a member of the Cardinals.
 At present the three-digit demon is carting around a blank contract for services with the Cubs in 1912. The hitch is the salary figure. Brown ! believes he has been q faithful tOiler | for Murphy and deserves what he
 wants. T am willing to be traded to any club in the National league but | Philadelphia. says Brown. and
