parachute performers. No county fair
will reach full drawing power unless il
advertises daredevil drop with at least
a relay dive and double chance of
death. Every fortnight will report its
tragedy. Yet no kind parent on the

that a thoughtless crowd may catch its

Deep in human nature there are
causes why public spectacles, from
Roman days to ours, are often the last
ditch of cruelty and recklessness. But
these are only causes; there are no
reasons.--Boston Herald.

BARRE's HISTORICAL COLLECTION

BARRE'S HISTORICAL COLLECTION
The efforts of the historical commit
tee of the Barre Woman's club to col
lect the more valuable of things of his
torical nature are along the right line,
and in their purpose to build up col
lection of this sort the projectors merit
general cooperation. The first choice
will no doubt be of those articles per
tanning to Barre's history, but other an
cient things will be gladly received by
those in charge of the collection. Barre's
settled occupancy goes back about a
century and a quarter and, of course,
there are many things connected with
the earlier years of the settlement that
are of great value and ought to be pre-
served. Too many have been lost al
ready through lack of proper place in

BIG INSURANCE ON PLAYERS
Policies for 100000 Carried on Wal
ter johnson and Ty Cobb-$15o,ooo
on Manager McGraw.

To guard against the loss that would
be occasioned by the death of or injury
to their ball players while riding on
public conveyances, IA major league
clubs are paying premiums on nearly
100000 worth of accident insurance
policies, covering their men. The Gin
cinnati Nationals and New York
American league clubs are the only
ones that do not carry insurance on
their players, but it is said that they
are negotiating at present with insur-
ance companies and will soon insure
them.
Walter Johnson, the Washington
pitcher, recently was insured for $780,
900, while a 100000 policy has been
carried for number of years on Ty

which makes the total amount around
100000, as additional insurance is
carried on the manager
In addition to an extra policy car
ried on Lajoie, Joe Jackson, Vean
Gregg and Manager Birmingham, the
Cleveland club, 1t is said, carries about
$250,0O0 on its players.
The exact amount of insurance car
ried on its players by the Chicago Ma
tionals and Pittsburgh is not known,
but 1t is said that both teams carried
about $4,000 on the team proper and
an additional $4,000 on the manager.
None of these policies covers injuries
received on the ball field. The clubs
have repeatedly tried to get such poll
cies, but the insurance companies re-
fuse the risk, declaring that the
money they would have to pay out
each year for injuries to ball players
on the field would be more than the
sum they would collect in premiums.
The New York National league club
carries the heaviest insurance of any
club in the big leagues. It's players
are insured under a blanket policy
that places premium around $4,000
on each of the players. In addition to
this it carries $4,000 extra on Mathew.

THREE GREAT PLAYERS
BALTIMORE TRIO PICKED AS
BEST BY ONE CRITIC.
Keller, Kelley and 5rodie Were Hard
Hitters and Clever Fielders--pavy
Jones Spoiled Chances Of De-
troit for Greatness.

There have been SO many good out
fields in the history of the diamond
that to pick out one and name it as
the best would be sure to start an
argument 1t may be difficult for pres
ent day fans TO acknowledge a trio
better than Speaker, Hooper and Lew
is, the Red Sox wonders OF 1912; or
Oldring, Walsh and Murphy. But fans,
recalling stars of other days, will voice
the opinion that there were outfielders
in the past able to throw dust in the
eyes of the greatest of today. says a
baseball writer
In 1879 or 1880 Providence boasted
an outtield composed of Jim O'Rourke,
Paul Hines and Tom York. they hit
collectively about 340,- but were not
high class lelders. Recently five out
fields have been named as the best in
5 the game. These. according to rank,
were the trios of Baltimore In 1894, of
Brooklyn in 1900, OF Boston in 1897, of
the Red Sox in 1912, and Detroit in
1909.
Just as the Athletic infield has been
praised, have Speaker, Lewis and
Hooper been lauded to the skies, but
are they the equal of Keller, Kelley
and Brodie, of the Orioles, or Keller
Fielder Jones and Sheckard OF Brook
Ign?
Keller was the cleverest man In
baseball. In 1894, with Baltimore, he
batted 1857, and in 1900 he batted 1866
for Brooklyn. This brings the supe-
riority of either of these outfields
down to four men, Brodie and Keller,
Jones and Sheckard, for Keller was
equally good with both teams.
Barring Keller, Walter Brodie was
the most uncanny judge of fly ball
that ever spoiled base hit. He owned
fine arm and batted 1853, compared
to Sheckards .3O5. but Sheck Offset
the difference by working pitchers for
bases on balls frequently.
Joe Kelley was terrific hitter, bat
ting close to 400, and often for extra
bases. Opposed TO him, Fielder Jones
was one of the craftiest men in the
6ohiOS nhuJ WhllC hSMhCIC hCul ANCA-
ley's equal as a batter, he narrowed
the margin by his cunning. But first
place must go to Kelley.
Had Davy Jones been 300 batter,
Detroit's 1909 outfield would have
ranked with those of Baltimore and
Brooklyn, but despite the brilliancy of
Cobb and the smuggling of Sam Craw-
ford, Davy's failure as a reliable bat
ter prevented the trio from becoming
immortal.
No two men, not II they were both
Cobbs, can overcome the weakness
of mediocre player, because the ideal
outfield must be a smooth working
machine, with every man capable OF
doing what the others are capable of
to maintain the balance.
Clarke, Beaumont and Sebring OF
Pittsburgh, were a wonderful outfield
hard hitting, fast fielding, although Sc
brings inconsistency caused him to
fall below the other two.
