UGH S. Fullerton, writing for the
II Chicago Tribune. gives an inter-
L L esting around-the-stove article
on baseball It contains much inside
dope that is well worth learning. He
says in part:
Baseball has not ceased to be
sport But in addition to being the ma
tons chief sport 1t has become the
second amusement enterprise Of the
United States and easily the principal
summer amusement enterprise.
While il is impossible to calculate
the amount of money paid by patrons
to see baseball games last season, II IS
roughly estimated that the sum was
close to $23,00O.000, Of which over Sl2,-
100000 went to the big leagues and
the remainder to the 46 little leagues
of the country
That sum, if it is anywhere near
correct. which it probably is, indicates
theater in Importance as an amuSe-
ment enterprise. The figures, of course,
include only the professional clubs IN
der the protection Of the national
agreement and take no account of the
movies" of baseball, which are the
semi-pro and the amateur clubs that
exist by tens of thousands all over Vhe
land The point is that baseball has
come to be such an important COM
mercial enterprise that the public looks
amusement. Appealing to all classes,
as it does, the game is established on
a firm financial foundation, and per
haps only those who are owners fan
to grasp the true situation
Takes Genius to Handle Men
The time was that the baseball
owner managed the team and played
himself but he OutgreW that. Then
the owner was manager and finally he
retired and became owner only, letting
some one else handle the team FL
nally, when the players and playing
owners developed the game to where
it began to yield huge percentages
moneyed men were willing 10 back the
enterprise with big sums, seeing great
returns in prospect.
The freakish part of it is that these
money men, who would have been per-
fectly willing to draw big percentages
from theaters or factories or mines
without trying to cut into the work,
do not appear able to keep from trying
to manage baseball clubs.
That simple fact is the curse Of

ern ball players-particuIarl
~ pitchers-are TOO much petted
and pampered." says King Bid" Nc
Phee, one of the greatest ball players
the game ever knew, and the idol Of
Cincinnati fans Of Is or 20 years ago.
In our day we never thought it
worth while TO carry more than II or
II players Our pitchers never COM
planned il it was necessary to work
every other day. Old Charley Rad
bourne worked every day a greater
part Of the season. The pitchers
pitched themselves out, and the wear
and tear was just as hard then as
il is now. In fact, the games were
longer, and they actually had to pitch
more balls. They pitched for strike
outs and put all they had or have now,
on the ball
Pitchers won't be right if they don't
work often. Four or five at most. are
plenty for a minor league club. Those
who are inclined to be wild can work
often and gain control It is better
for the pitcher and saves money for
the club owner.
They never complained of a sore
arm or a bruised finger. Seldom did
a club carry more than one catcher.

JIMMY RILBANE, featherweight
champion. objects to the raising Of
the weight scales in his class by
y the New York Athletic commission
He says it is unfair to him to increase
the featherWeight limit from 122 to
125 pounds ringside, for the reason
that he can do 122 without seriously
weakening himself and that he won
his title at that notch.

TIE ARIZONA CATTLE INDUSTRY.

The cattle industry in Arizona has been one of the chief industries in t,e past; it ViiI continue to be i'm portant always because of the fact that the climatic condition here is so favorable to the growing of stock. The heavy sales during the past year viii necessarily leave the range de. void Of the usual number of cattle for a time. This will allow the ranges to recuperate and in the meantime the settlers in the various valleys nearly all have a few cattle and the fenced pastures wiIl in the future provide a grass and water supply as a protection against the JOSS of range cattle in case Of serious drouth which must be calculated on for the future
 The settling up of much of ths range area in the state by incoming farmers has shown the cattlemen that they must provide themselves with land Of their own in the future and in this county during the past year more than thirty thousand acres were purchased from inc governneut win land script secured from railroads that secured land grants from the government and surrendered some 1T it, included in reserves, for this script.
 This land will all be put under fence and will provide grass only for cattle belonging to the land owner so in future it may be expected that the opportunity in Arizona for grow ing higher grades of stock will be availed by more than has been the case in the past and stockmen who provide themselTas with priaate range in the future will become more prosperous than in the past.

Arizona needs goods roads The people demand good roads. Arizona is a state or such magnificent dis
 iances that highway making soon runs into money, however low the cost per mile may be. The road across Maricopa county from Agua Galiente to tie Roosevelt dam would stretch across the state of Iowa.
 There should be state highways connecting each of the county seatg and large cities within the state. als ) our portion of the ocean-to-ocean. open all the year round, highway
 must be constructed To these we must add the cost Of upbuilding and maintaining of the county and local highways. The sum total for all this runs Into hundreds of tbousands- millions of dollars. The trouble in the past has been thaL we have spread our work and money so thin that tho results have been purely temporary. and the expenditures had To be repeated.
 The dime has arrived for the building Of permanent highways. The kind that lasts for generations, and the maintenance of which can Ce reduced to a minimum
 The first cost of such highways is expensive, it is true, but for the period of the life of the average tax rayer they are vastly larger. Such roads must be Duilt
 Senator C. B Wood in a recent is- sue of this paper has pointed out how Arizona can secure such roads. Hc suggests that we get congress to donate a portion Of the vast public land lying within our border for Eyilding of state and ocean-to-oceanl highways.
 He points out that congress has donated large tracts of land for rail roads. Why not for highways?
 Congress should certainly provide the means for building roads across indian and forest reservations
 If splendid highways are built and maintained iu Arizona. will not every acre Of public land now owned by the s-ate and nation enhance in value?
 The plan ot Senator Wood is feas- ible. practical and timely. The first act of the legislature should be tol ptsnoriaIize congress upon the sub feet We are sure that Ashurst. smith and Hayden can put the prop osition through.
