 Clark Griffith declares that umpires need spring training as much as play CTS, and the Old Fox favors a rule re- quirine, the entire staff of arbiters to hake to Dixie every year and umpire exhibition contests Clark thinks that this would help the umpires, but a lot of fans are convinced that those gentlemen are past help.

He started as a catcher with the DeS MoineS club back in 1903. For couple of sea- sons thereafter he played independent ball in Homestead, Pa, and in 1908 landed with Youngstown Then fol- lowed couple of seasons with Colum- bus. In 1909 he was appointed man ager of the Lima, club and won a pen nant. In 1910 and 1911 he managed Akron, and annexed the flag both sea- sons. Later he managed clubs in Columbus and Waterbury, and he was then chosen to pilot the Cleveland Indians by Charles Somers.

 baseball talent in the business. l. Now that Heinie Zin has been fined for sassfng an umpire, the season may

Booming Molly Stark Trail.

The Improvements that have been
made the past season on the Brattle-
boro-Bennington highway called the
Molly Stark Trail, are interesting in
huential men OF southern New Hamp-
shire in proposition to improve still
further the road between Brattleboro
and Keene with a view 10 making if
one link of q thoroughfare that shall
extend from New York line TO the At
lantic ocean The road from Benning-
ton westward to Troy has already
been greatly improved, and it is eX-
pected that next season win see more
traffic than ever along this route from
New York to the White Mountains.
Scenically, the MISUNDERSTANDING
ton section is the equal OF any in this
part OF New England and the improve
ments it has undergone the past sea
son should make it strong rival Of
the more widely known but no more
beautiful Mohawk trail, which paral-

ONLY TRIFLE BETWEEN
$50 AND $50 HITTERS

The difference between go and
$50 hitter is just a tritle more than
one hit in every three games. Sounds
astonishing. hut it is true. Just about
0ne-third of safety per game divides
the Cobbs and the Speakers and the
Iacksons from the hoi polloi among
swatsmiths.
William Chase Temple. donor OF the
Temple cup and one Of the best record
men on the national game in its entire
history, has figured it out. He has
taken all the averages of both leagues
to reach his conclusions.
Temples statistics show that each
PLAYER in the National league averages
3G4 times ut bat per game, while the
American league averages $40 times
malSiGg the grand average of 3.62 times
at bat Tor every major league player In
each game
Having reached these figures, then
found that TO bat $50 in 100 games a
player would have to make 1877 hits
said Temple. ~ $50 batter will make
81 hits in every 100 games That
shows n difference Of thlrty-six hits In
every 100 games between a $50 and n
80 hitter.
therefore II can be seen readily
that the $50 hitter. making thirty-siX
more hits in each leo games than does
the $50 man, averages only about one
third hit more per game than the low
hitter, o. 1903 hits in every three
Games

For about seventy of his eighty-six

fond Of smoking a rank pipe on an

pains, for "pulr aud Carlyle was as
savage as a meat house dog all the

spring the city primary, and later the election
will be pulled of. As an economic proposition
