DOPE ON RIGHT FIELDERS

1t seems to me. In studying the figures
of the three leading clubs Of each
league player for player. that there In
q decline in the individual ability and
efficiency of outhelders that finds no
explanation. 1t appears that the older
and better ones are gradually sliding
backward. and that the new men are
not upto the stablished standards. The
game appears to be going forward in
other lines. but the outfielders are not
developing rapidly. A glance down the
batting averages will show what mean
more clearly than anything else. Take
Ave men out of the two major leagues
and the remainder OF the outfielders will
be scarcely up to big league possibili-
ties:
A decade or two ago we supposed that
an outfielder ought to be close to 800
hitter to earn his pay, and now we find
q dozen of them down below the $50
mark.
Among the right fielders. as We com
pare them. we find some odd things. We
discover, to our sorrow. that the pest
ones are giving way to time: Sam

When the fading color in cheeks and

A hundred causes may contribute to

as anemia. Overwork, lack of outdoor
exercise, insufficient rest and sleep, i'm

an extensive program for the coming
season. This will Include replacing
much of the trackage with heavy steel
rails, practically completing the equip
ment of the system which began last
year. A turnout on Centre street will
be built which will improve the service
on that line. Three cars of new type
for Bangor, with side entrances, have
been ordered and will be used on the
city lines. Many wooden poles are to
be replaced by ornamental steel and
other improvements will be made.
