with him, but only pure afortan
afternoons fo1np as q business man
might go out to play golf or tennis.
Many in baseball" continued
Carey, "slow up physically But be-
lieve q lot Of others 90 back because
they get stale on the game get tired
of it--get worn out and IN rut and
are no longer able to 90 to 1t with
any sort Of relish. And when this
happens 1t Is drudgery, and no man
can do good work.
i But after thirteen years, baseball
Is still Mathewson's fayorite sport.
He either likes it immensely or he
is the greatest actor ever saw. He
never. has to drag himself out to the
lot and force himself to play. The
game appeals to him and he finds q
lot of new things to study and work
over all the time. He doesn't take
Il for granted that he has learned all
there is to learn and go piking on me-
chemically. He refuses to get into a
mental rut."
Carey's dope Is undoubtedly to the
point. Mathewson is a hard student
and a close observer, whatever his
undertaking. The physical side Of
baseball might tire one in few
years, but there are million kinks
to the game and new developments
at every turn.
To Mathewson 1t Is an eternal SCH
ence. 1t is his specially, and he finds
enough Of interest to keep him study
ing and working without break.
Naturally, this holds his interest. In
each game he looks forward TO some
unexpected turn, or to trying out a
batting weakness which he believes
that he has discovered.
Another point in Mathewson's favor
is the fact that he has never had a
sore arm TO work with. There are
any number of pitchers who attempt
are what is known as scream"
workers, and who are therefore sadly
handicapped. There's no great ap-
peal in pitching ball game where
every thrown ball is like the injection
of a knife blade into ones shoulder
or elbow.
But in hts entire career Matty has
never drawn sore arm. His arm
has been tired and worn down from
overwork. left without any snap in
elbow or wrist, but short rest has
put him back in form. Much of
which is due to the fact that he works
easily, with little strain, and that he
wastes no great amount of effort.
Conservation of his natural pitching
arm is the slogan of his administra-
ton, and there is no telling how
many years he may continue to move
along with the elect.

FIRST RACE TRACK
TOUT WAS HANGED
FOR DOUBLE CROSS

The agreement entered into by a
number Of English sporting publica-
tons to cease printing the advertise
ments of racing tipsters recalls some
interesting memories Of the origin
and development Of this phase OF the
turf Although racing was well es-
tablished in England late In the eigh-
teenth century, ii was not Until some
years later that the tipster made his
appearance. So far as turf history
can be relied upon. Daniel Dawson
was the originator of tipping. He came
into prominence In and about the
course at Newmarket during 1907.
dis fame spread rapidly, and his tips
we're IN great demand by those who
desired to wager on the results of the
various races. He prof1ted exceed
ingly at his novel vocation till he
fell In with several educated and
cieyer rogtes. His new companions
hit upon the plan of using Dawsofl's
tame as a means of executing sensa-
tional betting coups. He was infiu-
enced to name probable winners of
bug stakes week or more in advance
of the races. thus causing heavy play
on the favorite, while other entries
were neglected. Then Dawson was
furnished with poison by which he
eliminated the public choice, leaving.
the field clear for q cleanup by his
hackers. The scheme was exposed
when Lord Foley lost three OF his
best racers at Newmarket in 1911.
Dawson and confederate named
Bishop were arrested, and the latter
turned kings evidence! Dawson was.
convicted Of this and similar charges
under an act which made 1t capital
offense to maliciously destroy horses
and cattle. Dawson was hanged at
the top Of Cambridge castle, In the
autumn OF 1872, before more than To-
900 spectators, many of whom had
purchased his tips when he was a
"touter's at Newmarket.

Every baseball season produces a
new crop of sensational pitchers who
figure conspicuously in newspaper
headlines from one year to half doz-
EN-, but the fame of Christy Mathew
son of the New York Giants seems
to go on forever The 'Old Master
is the perennial wonder of the game.
Jack" Miller of the Pittsburg Pirates
said the other day that "Matty'' is
undoubtedly better this season than
he has been since 1908. He not only
has better control" says Miller, ''but
he has more stuff-better speed and
a better curve ball" With his record
of thirteen years of marvellous pitch
ing, "::Matty" is puzzling to great
many fans and players: they cannot
understand why. he lasts so long. One
explanation of his longevity is furn-
ished by Max Carey, another Pitts
burg player, in an interview printed
in the Chicago Post: 3
'1Mathewson has the ability and all
that, said Carey, but / believe the
main factor that has held him up so
long has been his love of the game.
Thirteen years is long time to be
under fire. I'm no veteran myself
only a youngster at the games but
there are times when I'm tired out
and would give farm to break away
for long rest.
But I've watched Mathewson
closely and I've never seen him pitch
q ball game in which he didn't look
as if he were having lot of fun. He
always looks as if he had rather be
out there pitching than doing any
thing else. 1t doesn't look to be worl

Samoan baseball is not quite so
primitive as that Of the Eskimo tribe.
in which the batsman with thigh
bone strikes at ball improyised from
a skull, says the New York Sun. but
It has sufficient points of divergence
from its original model TO make some
PREDATORY explanation essential to an
understanding Of it.
Originally ii was an adaptation OF
the English game Of cricket. and BY
that name it is still played In the Ger
man islands OF Upolo and Sayaii With
the establishment OF an American
naval station at Page Page the patrio-
tic natives developed the present
game of baseball. Except for changes
of name, however, ne game is still
played in accordance with many OF
the old rulings.
A game between two localities in
cludes every able bodied man In the
contesting villages The ball Is OF
regulation model. and the bat. in size
and shape, compromise between
those Of baseball and cricket. Instead
of a home plate a single stake Is
used, the latter being out II this
stake is struck with q pitched ball,
as In cricket.
A game consists Of but single In
ming, and is finished when every man
playing has had his turn at bat, con-
summation which may be reached In
anywhere from four to 10 days. A
man continues batting until he is out.
HIS turn may be productive Of score
of anywhere from nothing to several
hundred runs. A run Is scored. as In
two old cat, every time the man who
runs for the batter makes the journey
to and from stake distant about the
interval between home plate and first
base.
lnter-vllIage Rivalry.
The game to be described was be-
tween the teams OF the villages OF
rauga-sa and Page Page, respectively
champions of the leeWard and the
windward side of the island Of Tutila-
chief Malat0ba of Fauga-sa won the
toss, and sent Page Page to bat.
There was q tense silence as the
pitcher unwound and delivered the
first ball, but as Manga stepped for
ward and laced It out for q screaming
drive high above the council house
and into the sea, bedlam broke forth.
While a lithe-limbed Fauga-sa field
er went darling like seal through
the water after the ball. Mauguas
runner, his every nerve and muscle
strained to its utmost, was piling up
the runs for Page Page.
Five times he had made(the course
and the swimmer had ely reached

ward the shore to teammate close

ment to adjudicate the water rights

tagging themselves with delight will

he is after the scalps of those he
overlooked. All the answers to the

SAD DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL
May, F o ur Year Old Daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Record
Dies From Burns.

An accident that brings pause to
every lover of children and this in
/ cludes us all, occurred at Wonder
Thursday morning at the Monarch
House, conducted by Smith brothers,
when May Record, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Record, winsome
little miss of four years and four
months, fell into tub of boiling wa
ter, sustaining burns from which she
died after II hours suffering.
The mother had just completed
washing the wealth of hair possessed
by the deceased little girl, when she
was called for an instant to minister
to younger child in an adjoining
room. During her absence the un-
fortunate little one moved about with
her sight obseured by the mass of
hair, and fell headlong into the tub
of hot water. Death came as a re-
lief to terrible suffering.
The grief stricken parents are re-
cent arrivals from Missouri, arriving
in Wonder about a month ago. They
are relatives of Smith brothers,
proprietors of the Monarch House.
Beautiful in death, the deceased
child was brought to Fallon Friday
and the remains were tenderly laid
TO rest in Fallon cemetery.

age, supervising engineer of the
northern division; l.. c. Hill, super
vising engineer of the southern di-
vision and F. E. Weymouth, of the
Idaho division. They accompanied
the party to Lahontan where the pro-
gress of work is being noted and it
is believed Fallon will be visited to-
day. The engineers will go on to
Lake Tahoe this evening or in the
morning, where the conference of the
supervising engineers will be held
throughout the remainder of the
week. This conference will formu-
late plans for further government
reclamation work and also make
recommendation for project allot-
ments of funds during the fiscal year.
recommendation relative to the
Lake Tahoe water embroglio
will probably emanate from the
board upon this all-important to
this project subject.
1t is believed that Secretary of the
Interior Franklin X. Lane, who is
now in San Francisco, will visit
Lake Tahoe and confer with his su-
bordinates relative to many ques-
tions of Importance to the Truckee-
Carson Project and that together
with the party he will visit Fallon
and other project points either next
Monday or Tuesday Secretary Lane
is justly the most popular secretary
of the Interior in the portfolio for
many years. He has boundless SYM
pathy for the men who are creating
homes in the arid west and every
ruling he has made is calculated to
promote the mutual interests of the
government and the settler, who are
interdependent.
