all. Hark!
Out upon the nicey clay roads of
West Maricopa county, the gentle
rain was falling. Far up in the pine
clad hills about Prescott, some more
of the same. Result: two feet Of H2O
in the Hassayampa, mud roads in

the rain go hang, while the other
riders, following him at various in
tervals and not being hep to the sit

practically amounts to a deed in fee

in no one getting a very good idea of
what happened yesterday. We learned
in a short wire from Checker Charlie

have checked. The race is about like
a boat race on account of the heavy

the race can be summarized as fol-

MOVE TO ORGANIZE A HOME
Favor Institution for Benefit
of Needy Players.

Headed by Mike and Joe Cantillon,
owners of the Minneapolis baseball
club, players there have started a
move to organize national home for
needy professional baseball players.
The Cantillons offer to donate $1,000
in cash as a starter. The plan is to
assess each professional baseball
player five dollars year, and as there
are 1000 men playing professional
ball in America this would aggregate
$4,000 annually. To become a mem
ber of the home player must serve
one year as a professional under con-
tract, and must contribute the amount
agreed upon.
The home not only would be open
to the player, but also to his wife and
children. All players will be placed
upon their honor to not accept the
hospitality of the home until in need
of assistance.

worked in 80 games for Detroit and
had 16 putouts, lot assists and six
errors. Dubuc had more chances per
game than any pitcher in the major
leagues and the two Frenchmen COW
er more ground than any other hurl-
ers.
1t is possible the peculiar delivery
Of each man has something to do
with the fielding Cicotte throws
knuckle ball and splitter, while Du-
buc places much dependence on
slow ball 1t is difficult for batters
to meet balls that are pitched squarely
on the ends of their clubs and, falling
to do this, the chances are they will
knock rolling grounders to the in
fielders.
Dubuc, like Cicotte, uses his pc
culiar form of delivery in the pitches.
Cicotte seldom resorts to splitter or
a knuckle ball when there are no
strikes on the batter, but often when
the count is two to one against the
man at the plate Cicotte will float
across the knuckle ball while Dubuc
will cross the batter with slow
one. Or, if thinking the opposing
player is waiting for slow one, Du-
buc will ship a fast pitch across either
corner.
Frank Baker, the famous home
run hitter of the Athletics, has never
had much success against Dubuc or
Cicotte. These pitchers work to out
guess Baker, and instead of slipping
a fast one over and trusting to the
felders, Dubuc and Cicotte come
through with slow balls and curves.
Neither takes chances on having the
slugger hammer fast one, and if
other pitchers in the American cir
cult would follow suit Bakers en-
ployers would have fewer broken win
dows to pay for.
Dubuc and Cicotte claim that field
ing came natural to them. While
they worked to perfection, there new
er was time when they could not
be depended upon to take care of
their position and to cover first or
back up plays when the situation de-
manded.

WEALTHIEST PERSON IN GERMANY

were perfectly correct from a legal

ly to pay something to the fund, so
that the people would not be enabled

The German princes consented to
that, out of patriotism, but now that
they are called upon to perform the
very act of putting their hands into
their pockets they feel quite sad and
reluctant. According to Rudolph Mar

the grand total of the wealth of Ger

annual report I'm part as follows:
During the last two months of 1913
the business activity of the country at
large slowed down very rapidly from
what It has been during the earlier
months OF the year. and at present writ
ing the volume Of business being done
Is from a fourth to a third less all
around than at the same time a year
ago. This was in part due, no doubt,
to the shortage Of the corn crop of 1913,
but a greater extent however to a wide
spread feeling OF doubt and uncertainty
as to the effects of the tariff and cur
rcncy legislation pending and under con-
sideration by Congress and finally enact
ed into laws.
THE business and Industrial interests
OF the country are so closely interviewer
with these two important measures that
their activities must naturally hesitate
until the provisions OF them could be
thoroughly analysed and understood, and
their effect noted. before new ventures
could safely be undertaken. The rail-
ways Immediately felt this slowing down
process and they In turn, under the
stress of high operating expenses and re-
dGced net earnings. have been forced to
retrench In every direction.
The present outlook for the year 1914
appears to be somewhat uncertain. not
to say discoura ging, to the railway in
terests and those more or less dependent
on them for their prosperity. OF course.
IL, later in the year. the prospects for
abundant crops appear to be good. con-
ditions may change very much from what
the present outlook promises.
