BITS OF BASEBALL.

Wee Willie" Sudhoff. a pitcher on the
st. Louis National League team in 1906
and 1901, who went over to the st Louis
American team in 1902. and remained
with that team until 1906. became
violently insane at st. Louis on July
% Physicians who examined Sudhofi
declared his present mental condition
was due to some old injury to the head.
Baseball men recall that he was hit on
the head with a pitched ball while play
ing with st. Louis in 1895. For the last
three years he has worked as an oiler
at the water works station. At last ac-
counts his case We considered as hope
less.
In keeping with his determination to
have a lot of left-handed pitchers on the
Nationals twirling staff, Manager Grif-
fifth has secured another south-paw in
the person of Harry Hedgepeth, a youth
who has been showing considerable form
as a member Of the Petersburg team, of
the Virginia League. The new man win
not report until after the Virginia League
season Is over.
King Cole, the former pitching star of
the Chicago Cubs, who was sent to Col
umbus last winter by the Pittsburgh
Pirates, probably will come back to the
majors next spring. He is pitching win
ming ball in the American Association
and has attracted the attention of sew
eral major league scouts. The Cleve-
land club has made q large cash offer
to the Columbus club for Cole.
Manager Frank Chance. of the New
York club, has denied emphatically a
report circulated last week that he
would resign as leader Of the New Yorks
at the close Of the present season.
Chance was at a less to explain the ru-
NOR, which originated in Los Angeles.
He stated that he was perfectly satisfied
with the present outlook for the team
and the conditions under which he was
working.
With the disposal Of Jake Stahl as
leader Of the Boston Red Sox and the
temporary appointment Of Catcher Bill
Carrisan to the job. a score Of applica-
tions have been received for the 1914 man
agement In the list is one from Willie
Keeler. Keeler. . member Of the Big
Four" which included Johnny McGraw,
Joe Kelley, and Hughey Jennings, has
never had q trial as a'major league man
ager. while the others have been in there,
Kelley the only one failing to make good.
The American League has this season
been singulariy fortunate in the discov-
cry Of sensational young pitchers. There
are seven Of them and the list II as fol-
lows: Washington. Joe Boehling and Joe
Engie; Athletics, Leslie Bush; Chicago.
Clarence Albert Russell; Detroit, George
Dauss: St Louis, Albert Leverenz; New

Joe Oliveri's Tribe Then Hang
a Beating on the Visitors,
Thompson Pitching.

The yvigilants, the best ball team in
this section OF the country, not only
retained the title of independent cham
pions of the District yesterday. at
Union League Park, but hung to 4
beating on the Ballston club, thereby
landing the independent championship
of Virginia.
Forest Thompson, who succeeded
Lefty Wooden in the box in the third
inning, after four runs had been scored
by Bailston, did not allow a tally to
cross the plate.
On the other hand, Lem Owens, who
essayed the hill duty for Ballston. was
touched up for eleven hits by oliverfs
clouters. Billy Martin played clever
game in short for the winners, and
Reggie Rawlings made one of the most
wonderful catches ever seen at this
park. nabbing a line drive on the dead
run with his right hand. This was the
real feature of the contest.
Lefty" Wooden started for the Vigi-
lants, but was wild, and, after the Ball
ston outfit had scored four runs, with
two out, in the second inning, Forest
Thompson took up the hinging.
Thompson held the Ballston club in the
hollow of his hand, and the Vigilants
won with room to spare. Score:

Drew has apparently recovered from his
breakdown. and if he ever gets the sort
of training that Murphy alone knew how
TO give and competes in a set of games
when the incentive to win is as strong as
at Stockholm. it is likely he will make
good Murphy's predictions.
There are differences. of opinion as to
the relative speed of Lippincott and
Patterson. The fastest sprinting Lippin-
colt ever did was when he made his
world record of 10 3-5 seconds for 100
meters at Stockholm. This, however, If
not as fast as S-5 seconds for 100 yards.
II Lippincott had maintained this speed
for 100 yards he would have been caught
in 1863 seconds, or a little less than lilo
of a second slower than the time credited
TO Kelley and Duffy, but measured in
feet. this is about 2 1-2 feet outside Of
3 3-5 seconds.
shifted Too often.
Lippincott this year did not get an
opportunity to do himself justice for the
short sprints. This was due TO the fact
that Pennsylvania had to win the inter
collegiate championship, and since Lip
pincott was equally good for 100 yards and
40 yards, he had to be shifted to the
events in which he would score the most
points. At first the Quaker coaches
thought he could do the best work in the
220-yard and 440-yard dashes.
Circumstances made it necessary for
them to alter this decision the week
before the games. but that did not give
Lippincott time to concentrate on the
shorter distance. Naturally it slowed up
his time. and explains why he could do
no better than third in the final heat
But in view of what Lippincott did at
Stockholm and his excellen. performances
at other times, most critics believe he
threatened to equal the world record for
this distance.
Patterson was pretty much of a sur
prise. He is not a strong man, and while
he was credited with running 100 yards in
8 49, seconds on several occasions in the
spring, all the critics were waiting to
see him duplicate the performance at a
meet the Importance of the intercollegi-
ate. But Patterson made good and at
Boston won his event impressively in
4-5 seconds. This made his first year
of intercollegiate running, and most per-
sons believe that he is sure to improve
and If he does, like Lippincott and Drew,
he will threaten the record.

Todd started for Clarendon, but was

1.-THE major part OF Caribou peak is
composed of sedimentary Jurassic and
Triassic rocks which have been affect
ed by volcanic phenomena of great
interest. The sedimentary beds have
been metamorphosed to a greater or
less extent by intrusive volcanic ma
terial and the shales in places seem
tn have been permeated by mineral
vapOrs or solutions. to which may be
attributed the mineral pockets found
in these sedimentary beds. No at

Of the influence OF the intrusive rocks
on the mineral deposits. or to map the
