Ih MAJOR LEAGUES

Jimmy Sheckard has paid board and lodging in numG~ous cities in his big league career. He. has belonged to clubs in Baltimore, Brooklyn, Chi cago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, making three of his shifts since the present season opened.
 A pitcher who is going along win ming regularly without attracting of the Cubs. He has taken his last five games, the taken teams being Cincinnati, twice; Philadelphia, Pitts burgh and Brooklyn. Just before that run he relieved Cheney in game in which the Cubs beat the Giants.
 Owner Jimmy McAleer of the Red Sox is trying to pull off trade with the Browns in which he can>land Bob by Wallace, the veteran shortstop of the Mound City
 For some reason or other the C1eve- land Maps have the ability to pick up good, hard hitting feIders. Buddy Ryan is a case in point. He is filling in at center field. and doing notable work alongside of Joe Jackson and Graney. Buddy is both a good hit ter and fielder.
 Youth they say, must be served .'.- Quite true. The two veteran pitch CTS of the game now are Mathewson and Plank. Plank has won only thirteen and dropped two and Math- ewson has won only fourteen and dropped four. Between them out of thirty-three starts this pair have won only twenty-seven and dropped six for the moth-eaten average of only .S12l or so.
 At that it must be something of 0 morose thought for any National League club to figure that the paths of pennant winning can only lead up against the Athletics. What does it profit a bloke to gain the whole flag and then bump against Collins, Baker McInnis, Bender Plank and ten or twelve others of about the same iIk?
 George Brickley is a, natural athlete greater perhaps in an al1-round sense than were Eddie Collins and 'sStuffy'' McInnis, when they went to Connie Mack. Young ball players differ so much in "coming'' in their develop ment that it is almost impossible to figure out a schoo1boy's chances of making good in the big leagues. It will, therefore, be interesting to ob- serve Brickley's development under that past master of coaches, Connie Mack.
 Big league scouts are finding rich picking these days at the University of Notre Dame. That Indiana insti- tution's classy baseball team has just about been torn in two by the head hunters from the majors, who are signing the Notre Dame men as fast as they can collect the signatures. 
 And now a Chicago boy has been drafted from Notre Dame by Peoria of the Three-E He is George Re gan, an outf1elder.

Outfelder Quincy Adams of the Bridgeport club was stricken with ap- pendicitis yesterday and today he went to his home in Philadelphia to undergo an operation. The yo1ln gster has not been feeling well for the past week, but in spite of this he played good ball for the locals. He looks like a natural hitter and is very fast. The local club had him under option from Raleigh of the Carolina association but will probably not buy him now.
 Manager Cross said this morning that he will put Siizer back in the out field. The term on the bench may re- store Bromo's batting eye. If one Hoss Shea, does not improve in his hitting, Lefty Gervais may be sent to the pas ture. Gervais is a fine hitter and a good all around player. The manage ment is wiring for another outfeIder' and hopes to land man soon.
 President O'Rourke said he had re- ceived no official notice yet that the Holyoke club wanted to transfer to Meriden It is understood that Mag nate Wha,len has made several trips to the Silver City and has secured the, use of Hanover park. He thinks the game will pay in Aneriden. It is plan ned to have the first game in Meriden Saturday with New London as the at traction. The president declared it would not be necessary to hol da lea que meeting to authorize the change but that a vote by wire could be talk en. This will probably be done. Hol- yoke has supported the team poorly this year and 1t is said that the own CTS have lost money.
 Umpire McPart1fn was notified not to let Catcher Vandegrtft of Bridge port play today unless he paid that $5 fine which was imposed by Umpire Lan1gan in this city last week. One Hoss Shea also has a $5 fine, which he has not paid.

opening Of the days trading. and with
very few country buyers making an
appearance and only one more session
this week in which to clear their hold

looked sufficiently low to cover the

Some fieshy steers bought by yard
dealers earlier in the week were put on

GRATING OF SKIN FUTILE.
West Union Woman Dies Dsspits He
roio Effort 70 Save Life.


West Union, July 3.-Altss Mary
Burns, who was 80 seriously injured
from the explosion Of q gasoline nat
iron some ten months since, at her
home near Hawikeye. in Fayette coun-
ty. finally succumbed and passed away
after most heroic effort to save her
life on Monday afternoon. The funer-
al was conducted at her late home yes
terday afternoon. and the interment
was made In the F,ayette cemetery by
the side Of her mother and other mem
bers Of her family.
In many respects this has been one
Of the most notable cases in skin
grating which has ever occurre1. and
it is confidently believed by the at
tending surgeons that the efforts TO
restore her would have been success
full under moreosfavorable circum-
stances. Her critical time Of life and
consequent enfeebled vitality and her
injuries received in runaway accl-
dent a short time previous to the e1-
plosion rendered her much enfeebled
and her powers OF recuperation mucn
lessened
Miss Burns was injured in Septem-
Der, last, and her life in the body has
been continued up to the present time
only by the most heroic efforts and
the best Of medical attendance. Shor.-
~ after the accident, at 1t may De
remembered from a previous account
of the occurrence, nine young men III
the neighborhood of her home voiun-
teered to furnish the required skin
from their limbs to supply the burned
flesh, and almost 300 square inches OF
cuticle was engrafted upon the Injured
woman. The grating was successful,
but the unfavorabzle physical condl-
tons made the recovery impossible. A
devoted father has spent several thou
sand dollars in an attempt to restore
his daughters health. and the neigh
bors in the vicinity Of the Burns home
have rendered every assistance pos
sible in the long struggle which mas
called for competent attendance almost
every hour since the accident occurred.

"The conservation question" Mr..
Pinchot said. lies at the root Of ev-

the problem of shelter and clothes.
which are nothing but natural re-
sources prepared for the use Of men,"
There are only two great forms OF
eXploitation-the exploitation OF earth
by men and the exploitation OF men
by each other. The only question OF
equality of opportunity is Just the
question Of the right of the average
human being to hear and enjoy his
fair share of the natural resources on
which all human life and human well
fare depend"
Mr. Smith said that the natural re-
sources was one Of the central issues
in the progressive advance. "The pro-
gressive program" he said, demands
that the benefits of our natural wealth
shall be equally distributed to all citi-
zens. This Is not now the case. PARITY
