prepare the pulley, first make two
cuts entirely around the shaft with a
fine saw, then remove the wood be-
tween the cuts with a chisel. This
cutting must be done very exactly, Of

on the shaft. Drill the holes H for

and then nail the blocks to the ends
Of the wheel To mount the wheel,
first slip it into the case, then slip
the shaft through holes A, and when
properly centered drive the set-screws
] part way into the shaft.
Bore the hole K through the top OF
the motor case, about one inch inside

size of the faucet from which you are
going to obtain your water power,
and one end Of piece Of rubber tub
ing should be slipped into it and the
other end cut off so it will be of just
the right length to reach the faucet.
This will prevent the water from
splashing.

BOTH TALL AND SHORT
Star Baseball Players Are of All
Shapes and Sizes
Small Man Is at Disadvantage In
Many Sports but Not in National
Game--Lajoie, Wagner and
Cobb Are Big Fellows.

Baseball players come in all shapes
and sizes. The player on the average
is between five and six feet in height
and weighs from 40 to 200 pounds.
He is fat, lean, stocky. angular-in
fact, he may come in any old build.
While small man is at disadvan-
tage in many other sports. perhaps
football most notably of all, this is
particularly untrue of baseball, and it
has proven often that the size OF the
player makes little, if any, difference
in the national game. Lajoie, Wagner
and Cobb, perhaps the three greatest
players who ever donned a spiked
shoe, happen to be big men, but this
is the exception to the mighty good
rule that size makes very little differ
ence in baseball. If you happen to be
prejudiced in favor of either long or
short players take a glance over the

falsely casual tone as the correspond

- UPIL becomes victor over the
~ master of the mat December IL,
1908, at Bellingham, Wash. On
that day Farmer Burns went
down to an honorable defeat for the
first time before Frank Gotch, his
youthful protege. The Humboldt boy
had applied himself faithfully since
his match with Burns three years
previous at Tort Dodge, Ia He had
studied, prS 5ticed and dreamed of
the time when he would pin the shout
ders of his tutor to the padded canvas
for the first time.
Burns had never lost match pre-
vious to this encounter He told Gotch
he would not acknowledge defeat at
his hands without a struggle, and
the pride of Big Rock, Ia, kept his
word.
Il tipped Gotch off to all my tricks.
and then gave away 80 pounds in this
match How is that for liberality?"
asked Farmer Burns. speaking of this
memorable battle.
It was Gotchs ambition to defeat
Burns decisively, nor did he spare the
feelings of the veteran. He rushed
at Burns at the call of time, and by
"bulling" it soon had his opponent
down on his knees. Gotch tried to
get a foot lock, and Burns had diff
Guilty in escaping. Gotch then tried
for deadlock but Burns knew how
to render the grip useless. Many sup
porters of the Farmer were at the
ring side, and they applauded loudly
when Burns broke Gotch's waist hold,
darted out, and put Gotch to the
mat. Gotch had been coached by
Burns never to let a wrestler keep
him on the mat, if possible, and the
two wrestlerS fought to the edge of
the canvas and then rolled off on the
floor. When they came back Gotch
tried hard to secure hold, and finally
hoored Burns He tried for many
holds, but Burns broke them with con-
summate skill. Finally Gotch secured
a full nelson and bore down with
all his strength. AS Burns tipped and
his feet dangled in the air, Gotch
switched to a crotch and wrist lock,
and bore the shoulders of the veteran
to the mat in 22:30.
In the second bout Burns took the
