He has averaged one home run and
three hits in every game yet played
for the freshmen.
: Reilly is the star of the present Yale
team. He is batting for .440 and is a
whirlwind at the dizzy corner He is
easily the leading third baseman of
the intercollegiate arena. Last year
he led the Yale nine at the bat. He
has offers from the New York Ma
tionals and Americans, the Philadel-
phia Athletics and both Boston mines.
His home is in Brockton. and he is a
brother of Barney Reilly, the former
Chicago White Sox, and of Jim Reilly
the former Yale halfback and left field
er. Reilly will almost certainly cap
tain the Yale nine next season, after
which it is whispered that he will
probably be found in a New York uni
form. McGraw is said to have made
him the greatest offer ever rendered to
any college player. He was not in
clined to play professionally till this
offer, rumored to be about $1,000, was
made him, but it is said to have led
him to think more seriously of ulti-
mately becoming a professional.

SALT A WOOD PREsERvATIvE
Telegraph Poles in Utah Have Been
Found Good After Fifty Years
Service.

II was found in replacing recently
burned railroad trestle along the north
short of Great Salt lake, Utah, that the
piles were sound after 43 years OF
service, Engineering News states.
These were of local pine and fir, but
were found to have been impregnated
with salt from the lake.
The result Of this investigation Is
what started the forest service on Is
recent examinations of the use of salts
as a preservative of timber. At an
other point on the lake some 1S-inch
poles 20 years old have been SINH
larly preserved with salt which has
penetrated to the center.
Timbers In the Southern Pacific
trestles across the lake, placed in
1902, appear as good as when driven
and have been preserved above the
water line by salt spray dashed upon
them.

Saws He'll La ONLY the Grave.

1.-The hell of the Bible is very differ
ent from the hell of our creeds. Chris
tian people are turning from the doc
trine of eternal torture-formulated
during the dark ages. Study of the
Bible is showing them that God Is
really just and loving God after all,
declares Pastor Sturgeon of Chicago.
Those who remember that the
'hades' or 'sheop spoken of in the BIZ
BILE is not usually over six feet deep
are not longer troubled with the super
stitious thought once connected with
hell. According to the Bible, hell is
no more nor less than oblivion-the
grave.
What need we fear? Our resur-
rection is sure. All will finally profit
by our Savior's death on their behalf
Those who wilfully reject him will
fully deserve eternal loss of life
death-and those who receive the
Lords salvation will be fully liberated
from all signs of death and suffering"

PRAISE FOR YANKEES BOSS
etallings Declares Frank Chance Has
Finally Developed Real Contender
-lauds Caldwell.

Big Chief Stallings, the leader of the
Braves, figures Frank Chances New
Yorks as the real dark horse of the
American league.
Chance is one of the greatest lead
ers in the game" said Stallings, in
commenting on the club. 1T has taken
whole lot of nerve, and a whole lot
OF executive ability to do what he has
done. He simply cleaned house with
all the dead wood Wolverton left and
within year he has built up what
strikes me as one of the best balanced
clubs In the Johnson circuit
There is no one in the American
league that has any better pitchers
than Chance. To my mind he has the
greatest pitcher In the game in Cald-
well. That fellow has the greatest
curve ball ever saw, and he has al
most as much speed as Johnson. Fish
er is rafting pitcher. / am told
that the young fellows who came aft
er left are equally promising. Their
work to date has shown it true.
Ed Sweeney is not travelling be-
yond his speed. For me in 1910 he
was the best catcher in the American
league. But the greatest player of all
that Chance dug up is Jimmy, Walsh.
There is an outfielder for you, one
Of the very best in the game. How
Frank ever got him away from the
calculating Connie Mack l cannot fig
ure. A manager has only to have a
few players of the Walsh stamp to
make a team.
Where Chance really made his
team was in the acquisition of Trues-
dale. l may be prejudiced but !
think he is better bali player than
Maisel. He is as good a fielder as
Maisel and will outhit him, too, in a
seasons stretch. Though no faster
than Truesdale, Maisel is the better
base runner. Fritz is one of the best
base runners in the country. But

BIRD SHELTERS AND BATHS.


In addition to building a number of
the bird houses which were described
upon this page several weeks ago, and
placing them in your garden or in
trees nearby your home. it is good
plan to put up one or two shelters such
as are shown in the drawings below,
also to provide one or two pans Of wa
ter for bird baths. Once the birds
have discovered these, the yard will
become popular abiding place, and
a refuge in time of storms, and your
bird houses will quickly be tenanted.
Figure 1 shows a practical form of
bird shelter that is easily built 1t
may be constructed upon the top of a
clothespost. or a post may be put up
especially for the purpose.
A cheese-box cover forms the roof
of this shel:er, and you can get one
of these for the asking at your gro
Gerry.
Any thin sticks of length equal to
the diameter of the cheese-box cover
will do for the shelter perches. There
are four pairs of these perches, and
they should be nailed at their centers
to opposite sides Of the post support in
the manner shown in the Illustration

GREATEST PITCHER ON EARTH
Lady Funeral Director of Dead Letter
Office Sends Post Card to Walter
Perry johnson.

Uncle Sam, serving in the capacity
of arbitrator on behalf Of American
fandom, the other day was called upon
to decide who is the greatest pitcher
In latter day baseball?"
There was received in the Chicago
post Office the other day postal card
bearing the following inscription:
ITO the Greatest Pitcher on Earth"
Chicago had been nonplussed by
the problem, as cursory examination
of the records of the Cubs, Sox, and
Chifeds naturally would indicate.
The post card was sent to the dead
letter office, where one Of the lady
funeral directors, like a good rooter
for the Nationals, promptly forwarded
the card to Walter Perry Johnson.
"Smokeball Walter" received the card
and has filed it in among the other
acquisitions of his remarkable career,
which include bank stock, railway
bonds and gilt-edge mortgages.

MSlLAJzhU NAV CABLE

The same tests are applied again.
II this side Of the cable is found cleo
trically perfect some spare cable is
spliced to it In order to make it long
enough to reach the buoy holding the
other end. The buoy has then to be
brought on board, and this is by no
means an easy task. The sea may DO
running high and strong gale blow
ing. Nevertheless lifeboat manned
by men all wearing cork jackets is
launched and attempts are made to
rope the buoy.
1t may happen that the boat gets
near enough the buoy for one of the
men to leap on to it, but it is hun
dred chances to one against the boat
getting to within such distance from
the buoy. When the buoy has been
secured it is f1oated to the ship, where
both it and the cable are hoisted on
board. Tests are again made by both
shore stations, and if successful both
ends are carefully spliced and the
cable slipped overheard. In few
minutes it is again vibrating with dis
patches. OF course there is always an
element of luck in cable repairing.
The bed of the ocean may be raked
for weeks without finding the cable.
Or. again, storms may be encoun-
tered when the work is in progress
The delay in repairing means ter
rible loss to the company. Hundreds
of pounds may be lost daily through
the cable being idle, while the ex-
penses of the repairing vessel are
heavy. Altogether, a repairing expe-
dition may cost from 100000 to
100000, according to the luck in
hooking and repairing the broken
cable.

MOTIFS ofMe
DIAMOND

Pitcher RUDE Benton has been doing
excellent twirling for the Reds so far
this season.
Outfielder Tenant of Sacramento
made four hits in four times up OF
Pitcher Malarkey of Oakland.
vean Gregg's brother, Dave, has
been turned back by Manager Birming
ham of the Maps. He goes to Spokane.
Catcher Arthur Wilson has been hit
ting hard for the Chifeds, but not sufl-
GENTLY so to keep them out of the
division.
One argument In favor Of the Pr
rates coping the National league
hunting is that none Of the experts
picked them to do so.
Pat Ragon believes that to be In
good shape he will have to pitch every
other day, and he is Fostering Mana
ger Robinson to let him do 1t.
Heine Wagner, the Red Sox short
stop, denies the report he is through
as player and says he will be back
on the lob within few weeks now.
Lou Criger, the once great catcher
of the Boston Red Sox, who has lost
his health, will be given benefit by
the players of the whole country.
Scout Chick Frazer is proving val
liable aid to Clarke. The former atal
pitcher Is looking after the hurting
corps, and his advice is being followed
Now It is Mike Mowrey and his big
hat that is the important factor in
keeping the Pirates up there. Mike

line. which was built before the first
railroad, extended west from Salt
Lake City through the then prosperous
mining camps of Eureka, Austin and
Virginia City When the railroad was
built the telegraph line was trans
ferred to this right of way and the old
poles were sawed off at the ground.
A recent examination of the butts left
in the ground in the salt desert near
Fish Springs, Utah, showed that after
the fifty years since the poles were cut
of. the butts were perfectly sound. It
has been common practise In the Salt
Lake valley to preserve poles by put

nine feet in diameter, and is apparent

that it extended fully one-third OF
