PLAYERS NOT GIVEN PASSES
Customary Little Bits OF Pasteboard
Conspicuous This Season by
Their WoefuI Absence.

In years gone by, 1t has been Gus
tomary for each American league play
er to get two passes good for all games
both at home and on the road. Sci.
dom were these pasteboards idle, as
friends Of the ball tossers took advan'
tage of the opportunity. At the Amer
lean league meeting last winter, 1t was
decided by the club owners that these
passes should be cut out, and nothing
was said about 1t. When the players
asked, few days after the start of
the race, for the little bits Of paste
board, they heard the sad news, and
their friends have been hearing 1t
since, whenever they asked for one OF
the tickets.

York at $4,000, Big Ed got another pal
and battery mate In Ray Heating.
Sweeney taught Heating the emery ball
trick. The secret was too good for
Heating to keep all to himself. They
do say Ray told every pitcher he met.
1t wasn't a secret at all very long, and
the first victim exposed was none other
than Heating himself, Eddie Collins
had Heating unmasked before Sat-
urday crowd at the Polo grounds.
The emery ball is barred In the ma
jor leagues, Anyone using 1t will be
subjected to severe discipline. Alert
as all ball players are, no trace of the
evil has been disclosed. 1t does seem
In these days of slow games that the
players are allowed too great leeway
In looking for the emery ball. They
often try to alibi themselves with just
such tricks as these.

BONER BY MANAGER HIGGINS
McGraw offered st. Louis Ferd
schupp and $4,000 for SalIee-
Cardinals Couldn't See 1t.

An interesting story Is told by st
Louis scribe to the effect that when
Harry Sallee was pulling his retire
ment stuff last summer and John Nc
Graw was seeking his services, Nc
Graw offered the Cardinals Ferd
Schupp and $1,000. Miller Higgins
turned 1t down, and McGraw then
made straight cash payment for Sal
lee. At the time Schupp didn't look
to be worth 50 cents, but the informa-
ton from McGraw that he was on the
ragged edge Of job set him going and
he finished about the best pitcher in
the National league.

(By JACK VEIOCK,

International News Sports Editor.)
Two young pitchers who are earn
Ing their cakes in the big leagues this
season show promise of putting up rec
ords before they outlive their useful
ness on the rubber that will give them
a place In that select set which In
cludes only the greatest slabmen of
the game.
One of these two youngsters Is
Ferdinand "Stubblefield" Schupp, the
brilliant young southpaw of the
Giants. The other Is Stanley Cove
leskie, the sensation of the Cleveland
Indians.
Schupp is perhaps the most remark
able Of the pair, because he is
southpaw, and as rule the south
paws have a tough time when they
turn their steps toward the pitching
hall Of fame.
McGraw has kept his weather eye
on the work of young Mr.. Schupp for
five years. He has always maintained
that Schupp had the makings Of a
wonderful pitcher, but though Ferdie
failed to show him anything sensation
al in the pitching line until last fall
he chung to him, and the season of
1917 has so far proved that McGraw
knew what he was about.
Schupp is In his twenty-ifth year,
and he Is without a doubt the best
southpaw pitcher in the National
league. He is considered by many to
be equally as good as Ruth and Leon

NOTES

Babe Ruth says he wants to pitch
three games week.
Larry Sutton, former scout for the
Dodgers, is now scouting for the Gin
cinnati Reds.
Kansas City, Mo-, has 119 baseball
clubs in its municipal amateur base
ball association.
Fred Mitchell spends much Of the
time on the coaching lines, keeping the
Cubs on their toes.
Johnny Bassler continues to clout
the ball in the Coast league and hold
his lead over Buddy Ryan.
Cicotte still Is the winning pitcher OF
the White Sox. Manager Rowland may
overwork him in the East.
All of the New York American league
clubs players except Frank Baker
come within the CONSUMPTION age.
The Phillies refuse to be counted out
Of the race, and are going stronger
right now than they have for two
years.
Art Wilson Of the Cubs is catching
great ball, showing vast improvement
over his work when he caught for the
Giants.
Clark Griffith insists that the Sena-
tors are going to finish In the first d.
vision. There is nothing like being
hopeful.
Eddie Burns, the Phils catcher, says
there Is no pitcher in the National
league who deliberately attempts to
"bean" a batter.

much better work.
The Yankees and the Indians are
threatening to get into the fight for the
American league flag so as to mako the
race a real interesting one.
The Washington club thought II
might improve attendance by starting
its games at 4:30, but there was no
change In the size Of the crowds.
Connie Mack Is securing the country
for new pitchers. So Is Hugh Jen-
nings. But first-class boxmen In the
minors are as scarce as hens teeth.
Manager Robinson Of the Brooklyn
Dodgers predicts that the Giants pitch
ers will "crack under the strain" and
that his champions will soon catch Nc

EARNING THEIR CAKES IN BIG LEAGUES

ard, the famous Boston portsiders, and
from the pitching he has done so far
this season there is no great argument
that can be advanced to offset Schupp's
standing In fork-handed ranks.
Schupp has formidable young rival
for pitching fame In Stanley Coveles-
kie, the Cleveland Highlander. Cove
leskie is twentysix years old. Like
Schupp, young Coveleskie has youth
on his side, and today he stands out
as pitching phenom who is just be-
ginning to come into his own as a
winner
Coveleskie's work with the Cleve-
land Indians has been one of the big
gest features of the season In so far
as pitching goes. He has pitched
against every club In the league, and
has come through on the long end of
big majority Of his games. He is
one of the most effective pitchers In
the big leagues this year, for he has
started already to pile Up string of
shutouts. Last year he allowed an
average of 3.41 runs per nine innings
pitched, but his 1917 record will show
smaller percentage.
Compared to his southpaw brother
on the Detroit club, Stanley Coveles-
kie promises to do the most to plaster
fame on the family monlker, for al
though the older Coveleskie Is a won
derful performer, his kid brother is
coming on so fast that he bids fair to
pass him as winning pitcher, and at
] that he has his work cut out for him.

Rex Consolidated company was Sc
cured in 1915. The price was 100000,
payable in five years. Provision was
made that If paid within one year the
price should be reduced to $150000
The company was not in position to
take advantage of this provision, and
the bond stands at the first named fig
ure with three more years to run. The
company has spent large sum in its
efforts to place the property on pro-
ftable basis, but without success.
However the company is not discour-
jagged, as shown by it's offer to make
further large expenditures conditioned
upon the exceptance of the proposition
to the old Rex owners. The PROPOSE
ton having been accepted the Consol-
idated company is now obligated to
spend not less than $4,000 in sinking
the shaft 300 feet and otherwise de-
veloping the property at greater depth,
if that amount should be necessary to
place the Rex on a profit earning ba-
sis. It is understood that steps will
be taken at once to carry out the terms
of the deal by transferring all property
of the old Rex company to the Con-
solidated in exchange for stock share
for share, and that work will soon be
resumed at the Rex, which is now
closed down.

TUNNEL RECORD.
II Was Made by the Armstead Com

What is said to be record IN tuh-
mel driving has been made at the
Armstead mines on Lake Pehd
dOrielle in the Idaho panhandle. In
20 DAYS of October, the main tunnel
on the property was advanced 4Ss
feet. maintaining an average or II
feet a day. Ordinarily rate of IL
to Is feet Is considered fast progress
in northwestern mines. The record IN
South Africa was $40 feet several
wears ago, made on mine operated
under the direction Of John Hays
Hammond.
Everything essential to scientific
mining is being used in driving at the
Armstead properties. The track Is
equipped with 20-pound rails. They
have been laid as carefully as If for
a steam railroad so that trains VIII
run in and out without jar or friction
Storage battery locomotives are used
in hauling and the ore cars are equip
ped with roller bearings. The mach
inc drills are of large size and power
A bonus is paid for each foot over
500 feet driven monthly.

Ancient Tanning Town.

AZ city now in the hands of the Brit
ish and noted for it's tanneries Is
Hebron, near Jerusalem. This CITY,
according to the Bible, was built
seven years before Zoan, and Zoan
was originally Tanis, the chief town
of the Egyptian delta in the second
millennium before Christ. Hebron
was known, according to the Book OF
Joshua, as Kirjath-Arb and was IN
habitated by a race of giants. The tan
neries of Hebron engage in the tan
ming of skins for carrying water. The
skin of the animal Is made water
tight and sewed up with the hair on
the outside, after which tanning ma
terial is pumped into the bag which
is so formed. After being fully in
flated by the tanning fluid, these skins
are allowed to remain in this condi-
ton until thoroughly tanned, when
they are used as sacks for carrying
water.
