Molybdenite has been discovered by
E. e. VanEpps on his property at the

The Boulder Tungsten Production
Company is preparing to produce
tungstfe acid and ferro-tungsten.
Preparations are being made on an
extensive scale to mine the low-grade
molybdenum ores near Climax.
The j. G. Blaine and Esmeralda
properties at Timber Line town are
being steadily worked for tungsten.
1t is reported that the Alma placer.
which is one of the best in the state,
has been leased and bonded and will

In Boulder county plans are being

Mining conditions in Park county
continue to improve, especially at Al

than there has been for twenty years.
In a recent interview Secretary

FIND PHYSICAL WEAK SPOTS
Many Baseball Players Have Athletic
Hearts and Flat Feet-Others
Have Broken Toes.

The physical examination for the
army reveals the fact that very large
number of ball players are affected
with athletic heart, which is bar to
enlistment. 1t Is claimed that every
man over twenty-five is troubled In
that way. Then there are broken toes
without number among the average
players on the average team. There
is also usually broken leg or arm,
crooked elbows, torn or misplaced lig
aments and various other ailments.
In one respect alone players will
stand the test and that is eyesight
It Is certain that hardly player un.
der thirty-one will fail In this. If he
does he has succeeded in fooling his
manager, since the slightest impair
ment of the vision ruins him as ball
player.
1t probably would not be suspected,
but many players will be rejected on
account of fiat feet. For some reason
probably half of the ball players lack
normal insteps. Bunlons also are par.
ticularly common. Both the fiat feet
and bunions are caused by wearing
baseball shoes, which have always
shown tendency to "remake" the
feet in a few years.

WRONG PLAYER IS BANIsHED
Umpire RigIer Should Have Fired
Pitcher or HimseIf-How john
ny Evers Got In Wrong.

Fans who attended recent game
in Philadelphia wondered what Johnny
Evers had done to warrant dismissal
from the field. The true tale has been
learned from Pat Moran.
Umpire Rigler and Pitcher Jacobs
were Of different opinion on many
Of the Pirates pitches. and the latter
were peeved. Evers came to bat in
the sixth with the bases filled and two
out. Johnny tried to coax n pass and
the count was two balls and one strike
when Jake offered doubtful pitch.
Johnny insisted 1t was n ball, but Rig
Ter called 1t strike.
"How about that pitch, Jake y; wasn't
1t ball?" shouted the Quaker second
baseman after flying out on the next
one.
ut certainly was," replied Jacobs
who was smarting over other deci-
sions.
"There you are now I" yelled Johnny
In glee, ms he looked Mt Rigler.
you're finished for today" was the
answer from the umpire.
And then they wonder why a lot
Of people want the umpire curbed.

ter at Plate.

Tex Jones, who used to play with
the White Sox and now is out in the
Western league somewhere, says this
play actually happened In game he
took part In. It's n real "tank town"
story, at any rate.
The playing field was along rail-
road track, and there was water tank
without n roof on 1t just back Of the
center fielder. The batter hit high
fly. and 1t landed plunk into this open
water tank. The batter thought he
had home run, so he logged around
at his leisure, but the center fielder
chased up the ladder Mt the side Of the
water tank. reached in, got the ball
that had come to the surface Of the
water, and from his perch threw home,
getting the runner by step.
The umpire studied the rules, held

hadn't touched ground" after being
hit, and allowed the putout.

FREAKIEsT PLAY OF SEASON
With Three on Bases In st. Louis Game
Rouseh, Caught OFF First, Lands
Safely on Second.

One of the freak plays Of the season
happened in game of the recent
Cardinals-Reds series in st. Louis. In
one inning the Reds had three men on
bases and Rousch, on first, was caught
Off that bag. Instead of trying to get
back to first, Rousch ran for second,
and Paulette ran after him with the
ball. AS Rousch came in to second,
Kopf, who held that base, lit out for
third, so Paulette took after him.
Kopf landed on third, where Fred
Tony was anchored and refusing to
bulge. Paulette tagged Kopf and he
was out, while Rousch was safe on Sec
ond. How did they score the play?
Rousch advanced to second on Kopf's
out.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city early in
The evening, each occupying big cush-
ioned seat In the car. Mary wished
to know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five minutes explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in a bed, made over
their two seats, which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up Of the
seat was for time enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
this question:
mamma, If we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to ,sleep?"
'"That man," and the rest in the car
laughed. The explanation process be-
gan all over again.

Some time ago Jack Coombs, the
Brooklyn pitcher, was discussing his
work and his methods of pitching to
the different batters. He was asked
what butter he found 1t hardest to
pitch to. "That's hard question to
answer" he replied. "They're all
hard and any batter In the league, no
matter how carefully you figure him
out, Is liable to cut loose Mt any time
and upset all your calculations"
When asked to name the batter who
gave him the most trouble, he named
George Burns, the Giants left fielder.
George Burns is good batter" said
Coombs, "and It's hard matter to fool
him, because he rarely strikes at
bad ball. He's pretty tough propo-
sition for pitcher" Some time later
Burns was asked what pitcher he
found hardest to hit. He didn't hesi-

OPPOSE TRANSFER OF
CHASIBERLAYNE AVENUE FUND
After a lengthy discussion on the
transfer OF $4,000 for the Improvement
OF the Brookland Park Boulevard, be-
fore which 1t had been opposed by
Councilman e Lee Roden. Christopher
B. Garnett, John Garland Pollard and
others. the Finance Committee reached
the conclusion that 1t could not order
the transfer, and in order that other
funds for the Improvement of the road
might be made available. the resolution
was temporarily tabled.
Councilman John e Rose. Jr.. the
patron OF the resolution. said that the
need for improving the Boulevard was
urgent. and told of conditions that OBJ
tanned last winter when merchants re-
fused to accept orders for fuel and
commodities because OF their inability
to make deliveries over the impossible
road. He ais" cited the fire hazard,
and presented petition signed by
many business men and citizens urging
the improvement.
Every member of the Northside dele
cation that appeared before the COM
mittee agreed that the. Brookland Park
Boulevard was badly in need of re-
pairs. but opposed the transfer Of the
$4,000 from the $4,000 fund for the
Chamberlayne Avenue driveway be-
cause this street. they said, would be
in the sane condition this winter un-
less improved. Mr.. Garrett and Mr..
Pollard. however. told the committee
that this money could not be used for
the purpose proposed under the terms
of the appropriation. and under the
provisions OF the annexation agreement
Of 1914.
The question OF appropriating SUM-
cient funds to improve the Brookland
Park Boulevard will be considered at
the next meeting of the committee. at
which time City Auditor Crenshaw will
report the balances on several accounts
in which there remain considerable
sums.
