new PLAN UNPOPULAR.
Pitchers Protest Against Manner OF
Determining Worth.

Mighty few of the pitchers ana few
of the fans are in sympathy with the
new tangled idea of officially basing
runs scored off them. rather than on
the old plan of wins and losses. The
games won are what count, as Walter
Johnson, of the Senators, pointed out
upon just this matter of pitchers
records. Johnson thinks the Amer
can league should, by all means. con
tinue the keeping and publishing of
the official records of games won and
lost by each pitcher.
If, then, in addition, President Ban
wishes to include the earned runs
made off the pitcher none would OBJ
icct. But between the two Johnson
declares for the good old-fashionod

very strong for this record business.

him piles up substantial lead in
the first inning or so. Now what's
the use of the pitcher working his
head OF, when he has chance t.

He can let the other fellows make
a few runs. perhaps earned runs. and
yet win his game. lie is saving him
self and SO will be of more value to
his club. But the way they are keep
ing pitchers records in the American
league this year, it's all on a basis of
earned runs. TO my mind IT is all
wrong and works an unnecessary
hardship upon the pitcher. At best
the pitcher has none too easy time
of it And Johnson smiled sisnifi-
cantly as he added the last sentence.

owing to the unusually large entry
list the tournament this year is To be
conducted under conditions differing
in some important respects from
those that governed the title tourna-
ments in former years. a year ago at
Buffalo considerable difficulty was
experienced in having the field com
pete at thirty-siX holes medal play on
two days, and I'm order to avoid the
early starting and late finishing the
United States Golf association decid-
cd to devote four days To the tourna
ment this year.
The first two days of the tuurna-
ment are to be devoted to the elimin-
alton trials splitting the entry list
and allowing half of the players to
play on Tuesday and the other half on
Wednesday. The best thirty-two
scores and those tied for the thirty
second place ON both days will com
pete for the title on Thursday and
Friday, or seventy-two holes, eighteen
holes on each day.

An enthusiastic meeting of about twenty ardent supporters of the phil osophy of Henry George was held in pr E. s. Godfrey's office last evening temporary organization was effected with pr. John Thomas as president and Marcus May. sec retary.
 The president appointed a com mittee on lectures and others as follows: J. c. CalIaghan. chairman. H. c. Baber and Thornton F'itzhugh.

 The committee on publicity, MT. Kantz. chairman. Dr. Godfrey and MT. May were detailed also to the work of drawing up the constitution and bylaws.
 Plans for bringing single tax lec turers of national repute to Phoenix were discussed and it is expected that several will be heard here in the coming year.
 The meeting was originally called as the first step toward a dinner in commemoratiOn of Henry Georges birthday. In order to give time to gather in as many of the faithful as possible no definite date was set. but arrangements will probably be made within a week or two.

EXCLUDING THE CROSS ON ST
 PAUL'S

Four hundred feet above the pave ment of St. PauTs churchyard, a gang of men is a t present engaged upon task of unique interest About ninety years ago the ball and cross which surmOunt the great dome of St. Paurs Cathedral were gilded, and the work apparently was of such an excellent character that has withstood the wear and tear of time until lately, when it was de- cided to regild the cathedral cross.
 From the pavement the ball looks little larger than a football and the cross but three or four feet high. As matter of fact, however, the latter, which is said to weigh 3360 pounds, is no less than thirty feet in height, while the ball on which it is mounted is six feet in diameter and will hold ten or twelve persons.
 Only the best English double gold leaf, as it is technically de- scribed, will be used-that is, pure gold beaten out and placed on trans fer paper treated with paraffin wax and double the thickness ordinarily employed for outdoor work-from which it will be obvious that the regilding process will be a very cost ly one. As matter of fact, the to- tai cost of the job, which will take a couple of months to complete, will be considerably over 1000 pounds.
 The scaffolding which is being used is extraordinarily simple con sisting of little more than few ladders, set up by firm of experts in the fixing of lightning conductors. A different method, however, was employed when the original ball and cross. set up by Wren, were gilded in 1921. On that occasiorA they were removed, and apparently the scaf- folding was not fixed as it should have been; for it has been told how, according to the bOisterous weather, scarcely a day passed without some part of the scaffolding or the ma chinery connected with it being de- Tit-Bits

'FRATR1cDE CASE IN TEMPE
Ignacio Montijo Mistakes Little 9-Year-O4d Brother Augustine Playing in the Brush for Wild Animal and Shoots Him Dead
Especial to The Republican. )


 TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 10.-One of the saddest tragedies that has occurred in Tempe in many months was brought to light yesterday in the cororner's court for that precinct when an inquiry was being made into the responsibility and cause for the death of Augustine Montijo, who was shot on Tuesday evening by his older brother, Ignacio. The saddest part of the whole affair is that the innocent victim to the brothers mistake was deaf and dumb, and therefore unable to cry out or let his brother know.
 On Tuesday evening IgnaciO, who came here but three days ago from Tombstone, who had been out hunt ing during the afternoon, was just returning to his home. when he be- came aware of something moving in the bushes, which he says he thought was some sort of wild animal, but to make sure he went to the bush and parting it saw something white on the ground. He immediately took it for a skunk and shot, a great er portion of the load entering the right side of the boy and tearing out a large hole from his back.
 As soon as it was discovered what had been done pr. R. l.. Alexander vas called. but no aid could be given the little fellow, and he died early morning. A coroner's jury was empaneled yesterday afternoon by E. P. Carr. consisting of the fol- lowing; F. A. Blount, L " Stewart, H. s. Schaulis. Fred J. Joyce, F. F. Packard and James A. Blakely The jury brought in a verdict in accord ance with the facts. Funeral services will be held from St. Marys church some time today and interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery The family is prostrated with grief at the untimely end of the little feI- low, and the community at large sym pathize with them.

Cabriolets, one horse vehicles, from which we get the name cabs, were first introduced into the streets of London in 1922, when twelve were placed in service, In 1881 they had increased to 165, and then the li- censes were thrown open. The num- Der in 1862 running in the English metropolis exceeded six thousand. Previous to throwing open the trade, the number of hackney carriages was limited to twelve hundred, when there were few omnibuses.
