infielder, and Josh Devore: the diminu-
tive outfielder.
Now the question is, who got stung?
Cincinnati is willing to admit that Nc
Graw is guilty. New York is waiting
to be shown.
But one thing every one knows, Nc
Graw has lost some confidence in the
ability of his team to win a third
straight pennant Otherwise the lit
tie Napoleon of the game would have
stood pat on his lineup.
Next there is the case of Frank
Chance, erstwhile peerless leader Of
the Cubs, now cropping in the dark
ness and reaching out in all direc-
tons in a wild effort to lay his hands
on something or somebody to
strengthen his cheerless New York
American league club.
So Chance offered Hal Chase to the
highest bidder, and odd enough
though 1t may seem, the bids weren't
very high, judging from the trade the
orange grove magnate made.
Think of the peerless first baseman
going in exchange for Rollie Zieder a
castabout on the White Sox team, and
First Baseman Borton, recruit, who
hasn't yet cut his wisdom teeth in the
big show. The ordinary observer
jumps Immediately to the conclusion
that Frank Chance was stung in that
deal. Yet the master of the High
landers probably has his own reasons
for making the trade and these rea-
sons cast on the scales probably
/ would cause a balance.

hon for his ability to hammer my slow
ball to all corners of the lot was the
fact that he was an expert at mauling
that style Of pitching and change of
delivery never seemed to throw him
pft his stride. Perhaps the greatest
exhibition of heavy and far-away wal
looping ever witnessed was done in q
game played during the season Of
1895, when Delehanty was a member
of the Philadelphia team. Far DO It
from me to relate some of the awful
things he did to my pitching. but I'll
gust cite an instance that will go to
show how really effective he was
against other twirlers of fifteen years
ago. Bill Terry was pitching against
the Phillies that afternoon and Del"
Bwatting like a veritable demon, tore
on four home runs and a single in FIVE
times at bat. That meant a total of
seventeen bases. Del" didn't depend
upon speed to negotiate his base hits.
On the contrary, he made every one
of them thud against some distant wall
or walloped the ball outside the yard.
10 my way of thinking Delehanty was
the greatest natural hitter the game
ever produced. While on the subject
OF Delehanty's batting performance
against Terry I'm reminded of the
wonderful showing made a few sea-
sons later by Clarence (Ginger) Beau
mont, a southpaw batter, who formerly
held down a berth in the Pittsburgh
Dutfeld and later appeared with the
Boston Nationals and theChicago Cubs
Beaumont, however. relied upon his
speed more than upon his ability to
pole long drives. In this respect he
topped all the other batters of that
time, for 1t is reported on good au-
thority that Beau" laid down a bunt
one day at Cincinnati and made the
trip to first base in less than three
seconds. He established his great
record July %. 1899, at Exposition
Park. Pittsburgh, getting six infield
hits and scoring every time. Wiley
Piatt was on the mound that after
noon for the Philadelphia club and
Wiley was a left-hander who could
pitch with the best of them at that
time. Some time l am going to dust
on my record books and make a thor
Dugh recounting of the terrible things
that Delehanty did against my pitch
ang. For the present let 1t go at that,
with full credit to big Eds" memory.

COAL IN NEW MEXICO
PRODUCTION IN 1912 INCREASES
HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
Breaks Previous Record BY Mining
3,536,s24 Tons, Valued at $5,os7,-

Albuquerque, N. M.-New Mexico is
now accounted one of the important
coal-producing states of the west,
much of her output being distinctly
OF high grade, according to report
made by Geo. o. Smith of the Geologi-
cal Survey. In the Ration field which
furnished about seventy-five per cent
of the production in 1912. the coal is
a true coking coal and most of the
operations are conducted on an extern
sive scale. In 1912 there was eleven
mines that produced each over 10O,-
600 tons, and two of these produced
over 100000 tons. Nearly $4,000 tons
of coal was made into coke.
In point of area the San Juan river
field, in the northwestern part of the
state, is the most important. 1t has in
New Mexico an area of about $4,000
square miles and contains both sub
bituminous and bituminous COAL In
Mckinley county in the San Juan
river field three mines produce over
100000 tons each, and one of them
over 100000 tons.
The Los Cerrillos field and the
White Oaks field are relatively small
in area but contain true bituminous
coal. In the former some of the coal
has been locally altered into anthra-
cite, of which 32,411 tons was mined
in 1912.
The output of coal in New Mexico
In 1912 was the largest ever made, the
production increasing from 3,14S,15S
short tons in 1911, valued at $4,525,-
925, to 3,536,S24 tons in 1912, valued
at $5,037051, a gain Of 1873 per cent
in quantity and of 11.3 PEI cent in
value.
The first record of coal production
in New Mexico was published in 1882,
when the production amounted to 49,
O92 tons, about four per cent of the
annual output at the present time.

The foal should be taught to eat some
grain as soon as possible. and then II
the dam should get out of condition
either from overwork or other causes
the colt will not be stunted. as many
50 often are. If some oats or bran is
placed within reach of the colts when
the mares are fed they will soon learn
to eat. If alfalfa hay is available keel
it before them. for it is a good condi,
toned as well as one of the best feeds
grown on the farm. The colts should
have the run Of a lot so they will get
plenty of exercise. but they should
not be allowed to follow the mares In
the field. If given this privilege they
will keep sucking the mares whenever
they stop and will keep them excited
and cause them to tire easier than II
the colts were kept out Of sight. But
the damage to the mares is the least
part Of it. The colts will walk sc
much in day that they will be tired
out at night and they will be stunted
as they are when worked too young.

The Square Silo.

The square silo is not popular with
those who have used them and tried
them out in comparison with the per
fected round type. says Farm and Fire
side, There are several reasons for
this. perhaps the most important being
that the square silo wastes too much
slage.
Silage packed into square silo will
not settle evenly. The middle will 60
down and the silage will stick to the
walls in the corner and bunch up, max
ing air holes and crevices These will
conduct air down into the silage, caus
ing it to rot and become moldy. Usu,
ally the corners will show line of rot
from top to bottom. and it Is nothing
unusual to see big pile of rotten
silage just to one side of the door
which represents corner loss.

Draw up your chair and let's tall

You want - make something OF

make the necessary effort.
Everything is ready to your hand

You have the greatest facilities fol

Why don't you?
Pardon this frank talk. In the really

must be frank.
The world is calling for men such

Why don't you?
Perhaps the trouble is that yon wan,

1t is hunting for men to give it what

After you have produced this 1t viii
then be time to talk about laurels.
You want distinction. Well. the way
to get distinction is to do something
distinctive.
Why don't you?
You want wealth.
The way to gain wealth is to render

You say old Scruggs did not get his

But if you are right about him then
you do not want his wealth after ALL

THE NEW POLITICS.

The new politics is not partisan;
therefore 1t Is not partisan to talk
about it.
1t has brought to all parties new
viewpoint and outlook.
1t elevates the public above the pri-
vate, the universal above the special.
IL emphasizes service and puts the
soft pedal on place for the sake of
place.
It attempts to apply in an everyday
way the command:
LET him who is greatest among you
be your minister"
Minister in this sense means servant,
and servant not In seeming. but In
reality: not only In name, but In fact
It has long been motto among some
Sf the Indian tribes that he is richest
not who has most, but who gives most,
According to the concept Of the new
politics concerning public service, this
= literally true. The man who most
gives himself to the public shall In
turn be given highest place by the
public.
The new politics is what Lincoln
said that government should be-"of
the people. for the people and by the
people"
1t Is an expression OF the awakened
conscience of the nation.
1t is revolt against graft, bosses.
special interests and secret govern
nent.
1t is an aspiration toward better
sepublic than the world has ever
known.
It is an effort to conduct government
IN business principles. with the same
honesty. efficiency and economy with
which great private undertakings are
carried on.
1t is the evidence of revival Of pub
2c spirit.
We have had too much back room
government. Hereafter we are to have
government In the front Office.
There is nothing about the conduct
Of the peoples affairs that the people
themselves should not know.
An employer always has free access
10 his own books, always keeps track
sf what his employees are doing.
In the public service the public itself
b the employer.
The new politics would conserve the
resources and safeguard the interests
Of the next generations. Just as i
would not serve part as against The
whole. so it would not serve today a:
against tomorrow.
