Takes Exception to Grif.

John B. Foster. the New York Tele-
gram baseball expert, does not agree
with Griff in the new idea of compiling
pitchers records. Mr.. Foster says:
CLARK Griffith, usually progressive.
seems to believe that the old-fashioned
method of trying TO figure the value of
pitchers 'orth needs no change.
Grif has a leaning toward that fall
lacious won and lost percentage which
means next to nothing.
1T is perfectly proper to keep a record
of all the games won in which a pitcher
takes part and all the games lost. That
record always will be kept
But It doesn't mean anything, except
that a pitcher has been more fortunate
than his fellows every now and then in
getting lot of help from the batsmen or
perfect support from the fielders.
1T doesn't tell how many runs were
scored for which the pitcher was directly
responsible, and that is the true test of
pitching.
"In accordance with the beniehted
method. good pitcher with a team in
the second division was buried. particu-
larry IL his team did a lot of bad fielding
behind him. By the new system. il the
pitcher can pitch well, it stands right out
in meeting, whether he is with a cham
pionship team or the meek and lowly
who dwell in the cellar.
1T isn't fair to a high-class pitcher al
ways to be ignored or buried like a cab
bsge which has been put away for fu-
ture reference That is why the new
system of records needs to be encour-
aged.
$50 far as the winning and losing Of
games is concerned. it Is possible to tag
any pitcher with that result, as it al
ways has been possible since the begin
ming Of figure history"

The Sporting Parson.

New Bedford has a sproting parson,
who has not allowed his ecclesiastical
training to turn the red corpuscles in
his blood into white ones. If report be
true, the Rev. Francis B. Boyer, rector
of the fashionable st. Martins Episco-
pal Church Of New Bedford, occupied a
ringside seat at the Warren A. C., of
that city, and saw Johnny Moran and
Harry Stone battle three rounds before
the referee stopped the bout. In spite
of the fact that the bout was stopped
in order to save one Of the principals
from further punishment, he thought
the mill was tame, and is said to have
characterized il as "a gymnasium fight
The report goes on to say:
The minister enjoyed the preliminary
events, but after the fizzle of the main
bout he expressed the opinion that 1t was
not worth the trouble of going to See
Nothing in it." was his verdict. He
was disguised with the fssco when he
said: why, I've seen better bouts In
gymnasium. ] am going to urge boxing
promoters to work for boxing commits
sion as In New York. The public would
be less apt to get a raw deal like they
were treated to at the contest which i
Witnessed last night"
He found no brutality in the evening 8

any objection on the part of his congre-
cation to his attending the exhibition.

game for Western, is said to be a rafting
good man in the short dashes. II this
proves to be correct, Jimmy Mulligan

will be able to win an event from Cen
trail High.
Mag" Wood. captain and first-sacker
of the Business High School baseball
team last year. will more than likely be
shifted behind the bat this season Wood
is one of the best hitters in the scholastic
rank and as the receivers job is not
new to him, should strengthen the
Stenographers where they were weak
last season.
Two men are mentioned for the cap
taincy OF the Central High School base
ball team. Oberlin and McDonough. Lit
tie Mac seems TO be the man for the
place. as he is always full of pep and
fights TO the last. The election will be
held at the o Street institution some
time this week.
Little Buss Hager is counted upon to
hold down third base for the Technical
aggregation this year. Hager is one Of
the best hitters in high school ranks
but as he has played the outfield in the
amateur league, the shift to the infield
may not work. Hager played in the
Marquette and Independence Leagues last
year.
Paul COhill. who will again be behind
the plate for Eastern High, Is one Of
the neatest little receivers in the Dis
trict. Keeping up a steady line of chat

MILITIA PART OF J. 5. ARMY
BILL AGREED ON BY WAR DEPT.
 AND NATIONAL GUARDS.
Will Go to Congress soon-Would NuIify Decision of Former Attor-
 ney General Wickersham,

Washington, July 21.-Complete agreement has been reached between the war department and the executive committee of the National Guard asso- citation on the general outline of a bill designed to make the organized mill tia vailable for immediate service in any part of the world as a part of the regular army.
 The measure will be perfected in the near future and introduced in con- gress with the indorsement of the war department and the state militia au- thorities.
 Conferences on the proposed bill have been in progress here for several days between Acting Secretary Breck. enridge for the department. and Mai Gen. Edward Young, adjutant general of Illinois; Brig. Gen. John c. Chase, adjutant general of Colorado: Brig. Gen. James A. Drain of the state of Washington, and Col. Harvey of the District of Columbia national guard constituting the national guard exec | utive committee.
 The proposed new law would pro- vide for the payment of militiamen by the national government, the pay. ments to be made in lump sums to the state authorities and disbursed upon reports by inspectors of the regular army testifying to the complete eff ciency of the militia to be paid
 It would overcome the effect of a decision by Attorney General Wicker sham that the militia could not be be used outside of the territorial lim- it's of the United States
 This is to be accomplished by main taining the militia in strict accord ance with the regular army organiza- tion and by transferring the organiza- tion bodily, officers and privates, into the regular army in case of need.

Avoid Ruts

A contributor to the current issue of Farm and Preside says:
 1 believe in originality, and don't believe in buying new buggy or new sort of bridle or fine hat just because Jones bought one and guarantees it. Nor do believe in planting what all the other farmers are going to plant. Too many farmers farm by the pattern around them, and often it is pattern that is both faulty and obsolete. I want to experiment. and find out for myself what certain soils and ways will do; and before l buy something that is all the go I want to see if 1 really need it, and if it value measures up to it's repution." {"

BEING DESTROYED BY WEEVIL

Little Rock, July 23-Discover- ing that sunfOwers in her yard were being destroyed by a we evil, Mrs. U. M. Rose, wife of Judge U. M. Rose of Little Rock sent specimens of the weevil to the United States Department ot Agriculture and received a reply stating they were regular boil Weevil
 In order that she would not assist in spreading the weevil, Mrs. Rose destroyed her sun flowers and deter tined not to raise any more for several years. She then wrote to Commission CT John H. Page, of the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. tell ing of her discovery.
 Com mmissioner Page has writ ten Mrs. Rose for specimens of the bug, believing it is the sun flower weevil, which is very similar to the one which feasts on cotton bolls. When they are re ceived the two weevil will be compared, for there is a chance the sun flower and the cotton boil weevil are the same, but the cotton weevil has never been kn own to feed on anything but cotton heretofore.

AID TO EARLY RISING
By GENE SHEAR.

T heard you calling your son Jos eph early this morning." remarked Mrs Bottin, taking a chair in the kitchen, and l want to say that If he is as hard to get out of bed as my Oscar I don't envy you your job"
 "Hard!" echoed Mrs Flunkitt, wear fly. Hard! l only hope the neigh bors on the next street don't hear me calling him. Why, actually, I'm almost afraid at times to go up to his room to pull him out of bed. for fear I'll find he's given up the ghost ings how any person could fail to notice the noise I make unless he was dead"
 We ought to have 1t like a woman who lived in my home town," said Mrs. Bottin, reminiscently. That mother certainly was one lucky woman! Her name was Siler.
 "The Silers lived in a little four room cottage-all on one floor, with the attic extending over the whole and there was a mighty big family of 'em, too. There didn't seem to be room for all the young ones down stairs, so they laid boards on the raft CTS, or joists, or whatever you call 'em, and made beds for two or three of the boys up in the attic.
 "Their oldest boy, Peter, slept uI there, and he was a sleepy head if ever there was one
 You went up into that attic by a ladder in a closet in the middle room and in the summer Peter always kept his cot closest to that ladder. But when winter came along he moved right over the kitchen. He didn't mind the racket of getting breakfast for such mob of youngsters; he

Peter didn't care particularly for that sort of treatment, but he saw it would be no use to argue with Mrs. Siler, she was so determined. He took to getting up bright and early every morning, rain or shine, and when he got to being first at the store his boss liked it So we'll he raised Peters wages"

could have slept serenely through a fire, flood and an earthquake all in one. His mother used to have her hands full-she couldn't climb that ladder to yank him out of bed as easily as you do your Joseph.
 One winter morning Peter hopped out of bed, late, as usual. and put his foot down between two boards that had slipped apart. so he punched a hole through the kitchen ceiling. His mother asked him and asked him to fix the hole, which spoiled the ceiling. but neither Peter nor his father ever seemed to find the time
 "One morning Mrs. Siler had an idea; it occurred to her after a full hour of trying to get Peter to get out of bed and come down and eat his breakfast so that he might not be late again in going to work.
 After everybody Was gone that morning Peters mother went in and managed somehow to climb the lad der into the attic There she moved Peters cot directly over the hole he had made.
 Next morning she called the young man once, then again, and then the third time. Peter didn't make the slightest sound. Then his mother went and got the broom, climbed up on chair and began to poke with the broom handle at the bottom of Peters bed It was only a cot bed, you re- member, and so it was too thin to protect him from that sort of attack. At about the fourth or fifth poke Peter yelled like a Comanche Indian and leaped out of bed In three min utes he was downstairs, too.
 From that time on 1t was never very much of job to get Peter up in the morning. A few pokes would do it nicely. Peter did move the cot away from the hole, but his mother went up into the attic and nailed the legs of the cot down, so 1t had to stay over the hole.
 Then Peter tried to take the beds that belonged to the other boys, but they combined against him and stop ped that. Then he wanted to fix the hole, but his mother told him that the only way she'd have it fixed would be to have it framed so that the ragged edges wouldn't show quite so bad.
