But they went ahead, soon had a good roster of members and that roster has steadily grown. It was largely through the club that the El Paso to Phoenix race was held, and entirely due to the club that Bisbee was made the night control. It did much to bring about the building of the state highway over the divide and the re- pair of the Bisbee Douglas ink. 1t has been active in all good roads work especially that which win benefit the Warren District and it has brought about state association and anilia tion with the National But the tale of it's accomplishments will be told at the meeting.

STANLEY STEAMER
 BOOSTERS HAPPY

l.. A. Brown and his White Steamer last evening brought in a Buick car in tow from the Douglas road, having picked it up fifteen miles from 1he city. helpless by reason of intestinal troubles. The steamer with the Buick trailing made a record run, covering the distance to Warren at a seventy-mile clip. turning the wheels of the Buick over faster than they had ever gone before. The grade into the city was negotiated within the speed limit, but the steamer could have kept Che high speed of the first part of the road to the finish had 1t been desired It was merely matter of turning on steam. The performance was told of last night with a good deal of glee by White Steamer admirers and enthu- siasts. of whom tuere are many in the district it providing them with proof of that which they have been claiming for their favorite-that it leads them an on Che road whether in plain sailing or under emergency call.

safe to say that the other players, numbering two dozen, draw a total of S6OOOO from the clubs coffers this year The amount of the sala ries of the clubs officers is close to S15.0OO The hiring of ushers, spe. cial police gate tenders, ticket sell .lcrs and ground keepers consumes at least $10.000 more Railroad and hotel bills including training ex- penses in the South amount to $l0.00O at the very lowest estimate Advertising, repairs. care of the grounds uniforms. balls, bats. gloves and incidentals will eat up another s5.O0 New players obtained by draft or purchase can be put down conser- yatively too, at S1OOO0
 Summing it up it is not rash to say the New York National League club must pay out about $225O0O to provide the fans with a lirstclass bell team, capable of winning the championship g0nialon Last year the owners of the Giants received more that s7O.000 from the Worlds
 series From privileges and rental the club gathered perhaps ScO0OO ad- ditional As it is estimated that the profits did not exceed $15OO0O, it readily can be seen that the patron. age. both in New York and in other cities where the Giants played played last year was phenomenal

 Hiring of help is another great task Many persons with pulls come in search Of work at any old price. Many must be turned down, for every club prefers to depend, for the most part, upon it's old help-its tried and true employees. officials of the clubs must confer with the scribes daily, in addition to looking after many other requirements of routine. Then late in the day some of them must be at the ball park to see that things are running smoothly.
 If a team is losing both games and money for its owners, on the other hand. there is increased weight upoE the club proprietors shoulders. Take for example the case of St. Louis-a case now considerably aggravated by the invasion of the Feds. Robert Lee Hedges has paid out many thousands of dollars to make the Browns a first division team, yet owner Hedges is extremely fortunate if he has come our ahead of the game in the last few years
 MRS. BRETON WOULD SELL.
 Mrs. Helen Britton. who inherited the Cardinals, is repeatedly reported ready to sell if she can get her price. With Mordecal Browns team draw ing as it. is, the Federal League bug aboo is sure to mean big losses for both the Brittons and Hedges. only to the extreme loyalty cf st. Louis fans who patronized week in and week out when the teams were hav- ing a hard battle to keep out of the cellar position, belongs the credit for letting the Cards and Browns own CTS down as easily as they have been let down
 Go ever the clubs that have been operating in the National and Ameri- can Leagues from the time Of their births and youn find that less than half @ dozen have been consistent money makers, yet the promoters keep on putting up money, hdping trusting, praying that some time the golden tide will turn their way.
 Baseball. therefore, has become a business which requires all the time and attention of the men interested in it With the exception of Gafney and Lannin, the Boston magnates; Taft of Chicago, somers of Cleveland, and shibe of the Athletics, the major league club owners have been com pellcd to devote their time exclusive ly to their respective portions of the national pastme

In something less than ten minutes a tall party with flaming red hair, fol- lowed by an awe-struck crowd, took possession of the nearest table,
 The tall gentlemans chest was showed as far out into space as possi- b e, his glance was naughty and his demeanor both dignifed and patronlz- ing
 Yes, my friends, that was one of the toughest games l ever pitched. In the fifth inning Snodgrass got on third and they sent Harry Mccormick in to pinch hit for Frank Baker. What dc you think l did?" and the speaker cast ferocious and challenging glance at the circle about the table.

 Alex gathered himself together and asked a man stan ling at his elbow the great mans name.
 Don't you know that feller?" was the reply in pityiHg accents. Why. that's Grover Cleve and Alexander. the great pitcher!"
 And Alexander quietly slipped away.

GREAT INTEREST IN
 ANNUAL RACES FOR
 THE DETROIT MEETING

 These two races are looked forward 'to with great interest by the horse men in general as it is. conceded that the horse capable of winning either is the one that win show Co the best advantage in the future stakes to be raced in the Grand Circuit

In the first place. his physical development at that age is far from complete It is just the time when any healthy youngster is growing at his best and when such thing as making weight for a bout is a greater handicap by far to him than 1t is with a boxer who has reached the age of 21, or when he Is supposed to have jumped the ob- stacle that separates boyhood from manhood
 That is not an that is to his advan- tage by any means The growth ot his brain has been in the same pro portion as that of his body, and na- turally he Is not fortified mentally to cope with boys whose development of gray matter has reached a much more advanced stage.
 lf the kid' who starts out SO early in professional boxing manages to pass through a period of four or five years without being greatly damaged in his bouts and shows class. there ia a chance that he may make a success of the game On the other hand if he is given a few good trimmings by his older opponents, it is the sures5 bet in the land that lay the time be rolls around to the voting age he win have reached the stage where he must De content Co remain iu a class with Che rest of the bum fighters or quit ghe game fer an time. That's the situa tion the 'early bird" of the ring finds
 The case of Johnny Coulon the ban tamweight champion, Is one example of the boy who started ont too early Ii can be said for the little Chicagoar that he was more than an ordinary boy For a "kid" of l6 years he was unusually well developed physically carrying a pair of broad shoulders and remarkable expansion Of chest for hi' age. lt Is doubtful # his mental @2 velopmont was any greater than tha of any other boy of lG.

BOYS ENTER THE RING AT TOO EARLY AN AGEG
 MAKES POOR BOXERS

There is one linc CT athletic en- deavor in which it is poor policy to start too early in life and that is pugilism. There have been boys who have started out when they were 16 years old. only to wird up their pro- fessional careers in dismal failure shortly after they had reached the age when they are allowed to cast vote. Still the ambition Of youth con- tinually leads these kids" to enter the game, and aided by managers who care for nothing but the "kale they make the fight which results in disappointed hopes
 When a boy 16 years old starts to mingle in the boxing game which all must admia is a tough proposition at the best. he is going up against some thing that requires more than the average youngster of that age pos sesses. If at that age he really shows that he has the earmarks of a good boxer, as did several boys such as Johnny Coulon the bantamweight champion Of Chicago, and "Par Moore the once clever Philadelphia kid, it Is the suresl thing in the world that some fox oB manager is going to find it out pretty quickly and form . a business alliance with him.
 Just as soon as the kid has a man. aeer. 1t is another sure thing that his pilot is going to seek the game that is tough for the simple reason that the money is there Almost any sport where big "kale" is Go be gained re- Cuires stamina, and the boxing game is no exception The kid" is no longer permitted to waste his ume' with others of his own age in the gymnasiums or iu other training stunts and the next picture shows him going up against tae boys who have it on him by many years.
 lt is not natural to expect that a boy of l6 should be able to light the Asstssor, 2.O3h with Geers up. should be fourth,
 There are, Of course, many hcrses named who may show wonderfully Improved form over last season, and with the added good fortune of train ing sound and reaching the post physically it. may upset an calcula tions. To those who journey to De troit to see these classic events con tested, t Is almost an assured fact that they will witness at least two brilliant races.
 it is a regretable fact that the De- troit association is likely to withdraw from the grand circuit. They ara now at war with the stewards on ac count of their proposed race meet ir September, which win conflict witi one of the late grand circuit meets and for which they have not beer allotted dates They win no douh drop out from under Ono wing or thl parent association and go fre lance but they win miss the proteg ton al forded by that membership
