Many patrons who were attracted 10 the games found the players did not act on the diamond much like their idea of how professionals would act and so the game became a ma tional safety valve for all classes of men. women or children who love clean sport.
 Has Ty Cobb contributed to that l improved idea of the game or has he hindered it? How many times has Tyrus had to steal home from third to offset the injury he did baseball when he went into the grandstand in New York. singled out a cowardly, fool headed rooter who had been roasting him and took a personal revenge by physical prowess while clad in the uniform of the Detroit team? Even those who sympathized with him could not admire that process of reasoning.
 How many first-class hotels In the country have bid for the pat ronage of the Detroit team because they wanted the honor of housing so illustrious a character? We can not recall any. but we do know of three fairly respectable caravansar- ies that are no longer patronized by the Tigers. two of them by re- quest" In both cases, the greatest ball player of all time was alleged to be the cause. In the third case he fused so hard because the clerk would not change his room that the team and the hotel were divorced, although it was by mutual agreement rather than by request
 Cobb's fiery Southern temper has led him into trouble more than once and his standing alibi has been that he has been misunderstood by the different way in which South erners look at things. Does this ar gument really enhance the publics estimation of the character of Georgia citizens as whole? More pertinent to the matter under discussion is the question: Has the explanation given Cobb's various escapades on and off the diamond and in the club
 house done baseball more harm than his wonderful fielding feats or his
 wonderful batting ability have bene fitted the game?

Oil For Fuel Here.

One of the readers of The Citi- zen has contributed the following suggestions concerning the use of oil for power fuel in Alaska quartz mines: Cost of quartz mining can be reduced by installation of modern power apparatus. The gas or oil engine is particularly adaptable to quartz mines and is used extensively 1 in Arizona, California and Nevada. Of course. a cheap engine cannot be relied on, but good engine. manu- l factured by reputable firm, seldom fails to give perfect satisfaction if 1 it is given a reasonable amount of attention.
 Gas engines have run for sixty five days. continuously, day and night, without single stop, a pre- formance that few steam engines can equal.
 and could be landed in Fairbanks ! for about twenty-five cents per gal lon. and modern engines will devel- op horsepower per hour on one tenth of a gallon of distillate.
 The Diesel engine is being used all over Europe and it's use in Ameri- ca is increasing at rapid rate. Nearly all the large steam engine builders in the States have secured rights to manufacture the Diesel engine for marine and stationary purposes, and just recently ship was built by Wilson X Kelez, for cannery trade. The Warrior, which has the distinction of being the first Diesel engine ship to be built on the Pacific coast. It has length of S7 feet, 17 foot beam and foot draft and is propelled by a 120- horsepower four cylinder, four stroke-cyle N. l.. s. Co., Diesel en- zine The trials showed fuel consumption of 6H gallons of Star fuel oil per hour The cost of Star fuel oil at Seattle is 2A cents per gallon. The speed of the vessel is 10 knots per hour, making the cost per mile 1a cents. The Diesel is just as economical on land, and the Diesel and gas engine driven electric power plants are producing power cheaper than can be done by the steam central station plants in the States today.
 The prospectors in Nevada use a small gas engine hoist, and at the same time they can attach small belt driven air compressor to the hoisting engine and produce air for pneumatic hammer or drills. If in Nevada where fuel is at prem ium, and when a farmer can run one to irrigate his fields by pumping or city man to light his house or pump water with, why can't the quartz miner take advantage of this cheap power also? Surley the quartz mines of this district could be run for about one-half of the present cost of operating, by using this cheap power.
 Get out your pencil and do some figuring MT. Quartz Miner.

 He has been named as the great est ball player of all time by those whose opinions carry weight wher- ever the American pastime is known. He has won tie Chalmers trophy, with the highest percentage of points ever awarded any player. He is per haps a bigger fan in his native state today than it's politicians.

to-day, June, 2Srd, 1911.
Three years ago to-day, mother,
The angels bore you away,
And left Us sad and lonely,
Longer on earth to stay.
Now she is absent from us,
And three long years have fled,
Since we stood by her bedside,
Knowing, that our darling mother was
dead.
Often to the graveyard we hav,
wandered,
Flowers TO strew with care,
On the grave of one we loved SC
dearly,
Who is sweetly resting there.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Our eyes with tears are wet,
When we think of our darling mother
Who we never can forget.
BY her loving sons,
