w. B. Spaulding, chairman. Central
 Safety committee. St. Louis &, San
 Francisco. reports that for the 12 months ending June 30, 1913, as com pared with the same 12 months prior to the inauguration of the Safety First
 work on the Frisco, there were IS less trainmen killed, or @ reduction of 62 per cent; 413 less trainmen injured, a reduction of 8 per cent: one less sWitchman killed, a reduction of F per cent; and 13 less sWitchmen injured, a reduction of per cent. This makes total of 445 less casualties to train men and switchmen. Mir. Spauldins holds that these reductions were Un- occasionally effected by the activity of the committeeman and other employees interested in personal injury prevention work. The record disclOses that in ev- cry instance on any division where there was considerable activity in look ing out for and quickly repairing de- fects in appliances on cars which train men and sWitchmen had to use, there immediately followed a radical reduc- ton in the number of casualties to trainmen and switchmen.

THE BLUE OF DISTANCE

President Poincare. speaking the other day in his native town of Bar le-Duc. said very simply how he loved 1t because of all the memories of his boyhoOd which it stirred in his mind-memories of children playing under the chestnuts in his mothers garden, of Sunday walks in the for ests of the hills, of schOolrooms in which he first discovered the love and the delight of knowledge Those things have often been said before. but they will never become plati- tudes, for to speak of such memories is to quicken them in the minds of others, to begin a music of thought in which every one can join. for every one knows the tune of it. Even those who spent their childhood in an ugly back street think of it as unlike other back streets, for there is something stronger than reason that transforms it's monotony for them, giving to it the inexplica ble significance of a dream. We cast about for explanations of this feel ing, but the stronger it is in us the less will any explanation satisfy us. People say that the minds of chiI- den, being empty of experience, re- ceive their first experiences most vividly. But that does not explain why we have so much delight in the memory of them. There is nothing to prove that childhood is happier than later years. Indeed, we remem- Der things connected with the sharp griefs of childhood just as eagerly as things connected with it's joys. Both start the same music in our minds, the same vain but delightful passion for what can never be again. It is like the blue of distance which enchants a country not more strange and beautiful in itself than the ground we tread, and which makes us desire to reach it even while we know that 1t can only be seen from far.-London Times

 Arizona Republican, PhoeniX-I saw your article in regard to the Fl PasO baseball club playing in Phoenix.
 We wrote the Phoenix baseball club for games. Consequently getting into communication with a MT. KehOe. We did not know there were two clubs rep resenting Phoenix. At first the ar engagements were to make the trip in autos but after a careful study of the matter we came to the conclusion to make the trip by rail.
 We hereby state our proposition. The club will play at Miami September IS. 19 and 20. We asked Kehoe to bring us from Miami to Phoenix paying all expenses, the same to be taken out of the gate receipts and what is left to be split sixty per cent to the winner and forty per cent to the loser
 We are making his trip on our own hook and without any help from any one. We have a splendid club and can give you good baseball. It is cus- tOmary in baseball in this country to play for stated conditions. Place this matter in the proper hands and have the manager wire me at Silver City, New Mexico where we play until Sun day.

Sacramento. Sept. 10.-There was only one inning of scoring today and that one inning saw Oakland ringing up two runs to Sacramento's one. In the rest Of the game it was a tight pitching battle between Malarkey and Klawitter and not Sacramento player went beyond first nor an Oak land player beyond second. This is Malarkey's sixth victory of the season over Sacramento without defeat. Sin gles by Clemens, Gardner and Zacher and Shinn's errors gave the Oaklands two runs. Kenworthys double and a sacrifice put him on third, but he was run down on KlaWitter's ground CT to Cook. KlaWitter making third.

Dozens of motorcycles went into re- pair boxes yesterday all day. and a few emerged with the engines cleaned, the mechanism timed up to it's best speed. and the gears raised to racing speed. In fact so many machines were in the shops being shaped up for the races tomorrow that there was a mo- ticeable deficiency in two wheeler traf- fic upon the streets of Phoenix. But tonight, there will be no lack of ma chimes in evidence. nor will they fail to make people see them. For this is the night of the motorcycle parade, the chugbike pageant. in which nearly three hundred machines of all makes and conditions will be seen
 There was a sudden fever of prepar- atiOn all yesterday. Delayed entries were brought in and the lists swelled appreciately. Boats that have not been cleared of their trappings and grease since the last time received unexpected and astonishing doses of gasoline and scrub brush, and the parts were strewn far and wide.
 Little skinny racing tires appeared from obscure hiding places and were adjusted to rims that have known noth- ing but touring shoes for a long time, and in many another way the line up sturdy two wheelers was rendered more fit to compete with old father Time at the state fair grounds tomorrow after noon.

Can ThIa Ra Trun1

Connie Mack thinks that his club can be improved on, and he picks his All American team from the results tho players accomplished during the sea- son.
 There is hardly better balanced in- field than that of Maclrs $1O0,OoO quar- tet of players '"There may be soma better individually, but picking them aS an outfit do not see where McInnia Collins, Barry and Baker can be beat en-" said Connie.
 Mack fails to give Ty Cobb a place in the outfield- Connie considers old ring. the best left fielder in the Ameri- can league and favors Speaker and Joe Jackson for the other two outneld po- sitfons.
 Hughey Jennings of the Tigers fs un- decided about the shortstop position The popular manager picks either Don nie Bush of the Tigers or Jack Barry of the Athletics. Barry is a harder hitter, sbut Bush can cover more ground and make more sensational plays than the Athletics shortstop." said Jennings recently Donnie is also better base runner than Barry and Is a good lead off man.

Courtney Won't Resign.

Rumors to the contrary. Charles E. Courtney, the veteran rowing coach of Cornell, has not the slightest intention of asking to be put on the retired list. It is huge joke to say that the grand old man" has grown so decrepit of late that his days of usefulness are over. Courtney is now in better physical con- dition than most men half his age. and a recent visitor to Ithaca reports that he was amazed at the activity of the famous coach.
 Courtney is not the type of man that could take things easy in an advisory capacity. He is essentially man of action and, judging from his present condition, has many more years of service before him.
 Courtney certainly gets an awful grouch on at times, especially when the lure of football threatens to break up his plans. He then threatens to do all kinds of weird things. He has been complaining bitterly of the way candi- dates for the varsity crew have been forsaking the boat for the gridiron.

Irish Mahon Makes Fight Fans
 Take Notice


 A MOTHER sensational featherweight
 has bobbed up in the course Of the past month or so. and, like many other famous boxers, his rise has been sud- den. or in fact, one might say over- night. The boxer in question is none other than Billy Irish" Mahon, who halls from Newark. N. J., and who has been trimming his opponents with re- markable regularity of late.
 This boy, who was practically un- known a short time ago. is now the reigning sensation of New York and Philadelphia where he has been -de- feating his opponents as fast as they could be secured to meet him. Mahon holds newspaper decisions over some of the best in the featherweight class, and his work will be watched closely from now on
 Mahon is under the management of Jimmy De Forest, one of the wisest managers and trainers in the boxing game, which probably accounts for his success to date. as Jimmy is fox when tecones to making matches and selecting opponents. s1s~ sss~@-
 Mahonss sensa tion61 shewing late has sent the hopes of<h1s admirers and packers soaring, and they are now clamoring for match with Champion Johnny Ki1bane, but Manager De For est, showing traits of the wise fox that he is, only smiles at such suggestions and says, Wait until the youngster obtains the necessary experience.''

That CourtDa- c. sk51I oppabLs of keeping abreast of the times while at the same time retaining his affection for the best traditions of rowing fs shown by his experiments with that new queer shovel handler sweep. This extraordinary implement is sup posed to give an oarsman not only e better grip, but to make it almost i'm possible for him to catch the water with the blade at any other than the correct angle.
 The new oar has undoubtedly inter ested the old coach, but 1t is not be- Heved for moment that Cornell win adopt the weird contraption. Surely half the beauty of a light pared shell depends upon the Spartan simplicity of the equipment.
 If these artificial aids to speed are Co be permitted, why not go e step further and equip the shells with notOrs7 Tha idea might be developed in other deIdas Let the pole vau1ter take orr from e spring board, the golfer lie down on the putting green and pot the hole with a billiard cue; give the polo player a stick with a head big enough to ma1Ea 1t impossible to miss the ball while en- gagged in the widest gaIlOp.

SECRET PRACTICE"
 A FOOTBALL FAKE

SeETNAKE it from me-" said an ex-quar-
 terback, a few days ago. "au this secret practice stuff is bunk Year after year in various parts of the coun- try I have been admitted to secret practice of university and college teams. but have yet to see coach advance a sufficient reason why the stuh he fs teaching could not be diagrammed ana published in the newspapers-
 'HThe truth about secret practice is that 1t is merely a little device to i'm press the college fan with the extsut of the coach's wisdom A little myB- tery will go a long way to fmprels folks. you know I could cite you e list of historical instances tf I wanted to show off, but won't

 ''The reason the Carlisle Indians are effective year after year is largely be- cause teams are looking for tricks from the Indians. They are so intent at look ing for the crafty stuff that they are caught f1atfooted and the Indians sweep them off their faat
 eff a football play requires secrecy in order to be effective once it isn't worth much. As soon as it is pulled once or twice the cat is out of the bag anyway The truth of the matter is that any play worthy of the name will work if it is correctly executed, whether the other side knows you have it or not
 "There's another aspect to the secret practice. The college students, wze7a money buys the uniforms for the team and whose enthusiasm encourages the athletes to their efforts, have a right to see if they. are getting their moneys worth. They have right to know the team in practice as well as on Satur- days, when they deposit their shelzelg at the gate.'
 All of which strikes us as very close to the truth and bears out the proverb attributed to Bin Roper. Princeton'8 famous coach:
 'It's not so much the kind of football you play as how you. play it"

FOOTBALL TRICKS
 THE 'sBOWWOW" PLAY

TSHE hearts of Illinois university
 rooters jumped up into their throats recently when the Missouri university Tigers stepped out on the I1ini field and reeled off touchdown on curious trick play. The Missouri trick play is one In which the interference, followed by a man who plainly has the ball in his hand. starts out on tackle brush. Just as the play is about to collapse a fleet tackle or end emerges from the mass going in the opposite direction It's very pretty. and Missouri worked it for . touchdown
 It seems strange that the Il1ini should be caught by a pr5neYal trick like this -one that Missouri university teams have been using for four years. The play used to be more efectivg when the forward pass was allowed. Then the right haIf,- following his interfer- ence into a (presumptive) hole off tackle calmly showed the ball at the left tackle. who was set for a sprint around right end Under the present ruIess which forbid forward passes ex- cept when made From a point five yards behind the scrimmage line, the tackle must be a bit more lively and step around behind the halfback ere re- cefving the ball It's very easy when you know how.
