SMITH PULLING
EVERY WIRE To
BRACE UP TEAM

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July %
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 win unless a trade is
manufactured for him in ten days, and
has signed Outfielder 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 inet-
fective if played regularly.
Paul has realized for the past tive
years that in view of his incipient
senility, ne 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, an6
he has taken even too good care not
to incur any such mishap He has
been saving ms arm on the close ones
for some time, allowing scratches to &c
for bingles and his tagging al secono
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 Pau'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 hurers
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
ball 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 fan
from bad The use of Moves in the out
field prior to Wasems acquisition has
made it necessary that the huge Tigel
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 Marquard.

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
cago, and occasionally sends McGraw a
promising young ball 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.
Let's see" he said, as he thumbed
the pages, watts Vagner's weakness.
Adhere it iss-pase on pans,"
And there you have 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 a life time thinking
out 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-
mermans, or Meyerses; so I'll tell you
something about the system I've used
since I came to the big league.
have found that it isn't bad
scheme to watch a batter's eyes after
you have looked him over in other
ways Generally the batter seems to
pick out a spot. with his eyes. where
he figures to hit the ball. and he shifts
his position to suit. Then 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, a man is at bat with
three men on bases. Surprising he
stands a foot and a half away from the
plate. | take it he is figuring on speed,
slow ball If he stands in close to the
plate. a little forward. and grips his
bat close up, l 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 straight shot cutting the
heart of the pan may give him a hit,
and lose you the game. 1t is remark
able how batter will go after bad balls
when he is anxious for a 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 ! grizzled two right over
for strikes, and then hoped all l had
across. He didn't know it was passing
until it struck the catcher's glove
take it he was looking for a curve that
time.
believe it is wisdom TO throw a
curve in a 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 1t
squarely Still he hits it hard enough
on the nose not to foul it, but not quite
hard enough to drive it straight. 4
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

 Now that you remind me of it. said Mrs. Claybourne, some one came to the door the other day, representing the Salvation Army. l refused to l listen, and told him l was too busy house cleaning to attend to him. supposed he wanted only money, but perhaps he would have tLken some other things if l had offered them. There is some truth in what you say and I think I will try your plan aft CT this.
 i If you do so, am sure you would i find it a relief and there is a degree of pleasure connected with the thought that you are helping others to be more comfortable. But you said, when you came in, Blessed be nothing three times a year. When is the third time? You, in spite of all your energy, have accounted for only two. When is the third time, 1 wonder"
 T am sure I don't know, but I've al ways heard it said as I repeated it," averred Mrs. Claybourre. But l here comes your husband, perhaps he | can tell us. We will ask him to de- l eide the question if he can.

 taxes are paid promptly, or he finds
 it is the worst for him in the end.
 When l realize how little mine are in comparison with those of some others, I feel I am fortunate in having little

 flats in which we live! They have
 large holdings of real estate in other
 parts of the city, I am told, and all
 together their taxes must read a pretty
 sum- am glad I am not responsible
 for it. Yes, the third time must be

 the problem for you"

SUPREME COURT RULES.

The recent announcement by the su- preme court of the United States of the revision of the equity rules of the court comes as the result of long de- liberation and the fusion of opinions obtained from all portions of the coun- try, as well as from abroad. The new rules will be appreciated more by the legal fraternity. but all who have had to do with the settlement of matters were justice is concerned will ap- preciate the fact that there has been a substantial reduction in the expense, fact which has no small influence In pursuit of rights. The new rule, which is designed to overcome delay and hasten along litigation, is another welcomed change. Striving to gain an advantage on the opposing party, re- gardless of the actual merits of the case, has often caused unnecessary de- lay and prolonged lawsuits and added to expense. This unfair condition is changed by the rule which prevents the granting of injunctions and re- straining orders simply to get delay. Throughout the entire list of changes the evidence is plain that the suprema court is favorable to reform.
 In this regard it is worthy of note that tho changes have been made pos sible by the sober. sane methods which should govern. Investigations, opin- ions and comparisons accomplished in calm and dignified manner what some some would have submitted to the snap judgment of the mob.

The preparation of tariff billN is already under way. but it is hardly likely that an attempt will be made at this coming session to do anything with them.

After all we may say of adjusting ourselves to the inevitable, and of the nobleness of resignation, there are facts to which we cannot reconcile ourselves.

 'I wondered why had not seen you for some time. So you have finished your house cleaning. You will have something at least to be thankful for when Thanksgiving Day comes, will you nOt?"
 If l live till then, but I'm so tired out, that 1 cannot look forward to Thanksgiving with anything like pleas ure. 1 wonder why some women have so much work to do when others ap- pear to get along just as well without. Now you never seem worried over your house, and I don't see but it is as tidy as mine. How do you manage it?"
 "Oh," laughed Mrs. Hoppin," my house cleaning is never done all at once, so I can never say l am through house cleaning. It is here little and there a little all the time. 1 am not so thorough in such work as you and do not feel that 1t is necessary to overhaul the entire house twice year as you do."
 "Well," returned Mrs. Claybourne, 1T make a regular business of it twice year. Every box and bundle from attic to cellar is opened and 1amsack- ed and put back in order again.

British Hop Market Conditions.

The position of the British hop market presents many interesting fea- lures in view of the fact that the year. S local production will play a compara- lively small part in regulating demand and determining values. In 1912 there were 34,S21 acres devoted to the pro- duction of hops as against 33,056 acres in 1911, being an increase of 1775 arces, or 5.4 per cent. The unfavorable weather conditions during the summer months which proved so disastrous to the grain crops affected hops to a far less degree, and the estimate of pro- duction for this year is from 3O0,OOO to 32S,O00 hundredweights of l12 pounds each. These figures assume that the increased acreage will ap- proximately be offset by the damage from adverse weather conditions so as to bring the total production to about the same figure as last year. The month of September brought a change from excessive wet and cold to sunshine and moderate temperature. which will greatly advantage the fin- ishing of the crop. Picking is about two weeks late, but 1t is thought that tho longer period the crop has taken to mature will be beneficial rather than detrimental
 But 1t is ont the matter of produc ton that is commanding most atten- tiop, for the market is affected by oth- CT conditions more unique and signifi- cent. The recent movement in prices has called attention to the uncertainty of the position, since as compared with quotations at the end of June which were about the same as last year there had been, on September T. ac- c0rdinR tO the Financial Times an advance of sixty to seventy per cent

There is a good deal of humbug in much that is called Goodness. Ger tain negative qualities have been over praised.
 Real Goodness is positive, active, forthputting and not passive.
 There are those in great reputation because they do not gamble, drink, smoke, joy-ride, sport, or dance. They are elected to office They are ex- posed as models. They have a ten dency to chin whiskers and a smooth upper lip. They are pillars of things. I bear them no i'll will. But their glory consists in Not doing a long list of things. A Fence Post outdoes them, or out -not-does them.
