The discovery OF the mineral asbes-
tos adds another to the long list Of
minerals known to exist in Grant
county and adds to the belief that
much yet remains undiscovered in this
stretch of highly mineralized country.
A deposit Of asbestos was brought to
light recently in western Grant coun-
ty and though not found in CONNER
cial quantities yet the find is suffi-
cient to establish without doubt the
presence of this peculiar mineral.

Ed Walsh Driven To Slaughter Just
 To Draw Crowd

It was a heart touching scene to witness Big Ed Walsh, at one time the greatest pitcher in the world, be- ing driven to cover under a fusiliade of hits. Even in defeat the former White Sox was given a rousing cheer and it made the big fellow feel good. Just like watching a grand old boxer being battered from pillar to post, writes a scribe in the Kansas City Post
 Clarence Rowland permitted his business acumen to sway his better judgment else the fans would havo never seen the mound master of other days on the peak. The Kansas City Club sought some added feature to lure the fans to the park, inasmuch as it was impossible to give them a double-header, so Rowland was pre- vailed upon to send Ed Walsh to the mound, against his better judgment, and the day was set aside in his honor.
 He was given a warm reception by the fans and a warmer one by the Blue batters. Rowland knew that the big right handler wouldn't last long against Cancels array of portside macemen, but what is one game to a club in seventh place as compared to the ceaseless click of the turnstiles?

Carpenters Feat of Putting Smith Away
 Not Extraordinary

New York. July 30.-Thosc who are most vigorous in their advocacy of match between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentter, and point to the French heavyweight's recent eight round knockout of Dick Smith as a demonstration that Carpentier retains his old skill and power, had better read detailed account of the fight, Smith entered the ring hog fat He had had more than two months to get into condition, but his physical appear ance dfss-aced him Yet in spite of his evident lack of condition he was able to rock Carpentier several times Once both fighters went to the boards because they had been worn down through their own exertions. In the eighth carpentter was almosSt as ygob- ply as the Englishman, but the French boxer had just a bit more left and tgas able to outstay his man It was not so much Carpentier's punches as 1t was Smiths physical .unfitness that rnado the Briton succumb. It was Just the sort of a fight that Carpentier needed for his comeback in the ring and Smith appeared to have obliged. So let none become too enthusiastic over the result as an index to what Carpentier might do against as wig orous e. hitter as Jack Dempsey.
 The fact that Carpentier and Willie Meehan, together with Joe Beckett, stand out as the most prominent of Jack Denpsey's challengers calls at tenuon to one striking point of sim ilartty between Carpentier and Nice han Both have grown in the game. They started their ring careers weigh ing less than 11B pounds, but by leaps and bounds jumped right through to the heavyweight class. They have not been many other boxers in the history of the sport who have made similar progress
 It wac twelve years ago that young Carpentier, despairing of success in his attens pts to become great jockey, took to the ring and outpointed Bour- seois. 110 pounder, in four rounds. Carpenter scaled at 1O6 pounds. Car pentfer fought for more than three years as a sub-bantamweight, and in 1909 was knocked out by Gloria in six rounds. Then the Frenchrnan be- gan to grow and he boxed as n ban tamwetght, lightweight. welterweight, and middleweight. Then in 1913. Car pentier, as a 175 pounder, took on tho big fellows and startled the box ing world by knocking out Bombar- dier Wells in the fourth round. Car pentier has many a knockout 10 his credit, but he has been beaten often.
 Meehan has been a boxer ten years As O bantamweight-a pudgy little fellow, who first come into promtn- ence in 1910 by holding Eddie Campi to a draw in four rounds. Meehan came East and fought at Philadol- phia and fin this oity. but never was taken seriously because he refused to take the game seriously. And he still refuses.

WILLIAMS WINS FR0M NILES IN
 HOT mnTCH

Boston. July so--Richard Norris Williams Ed, tsanis champion of America In 1914 and 1915. won his way to the final round Of the Long wood singles yesterday by defeating Nathaniel ", Niles in O. hard-fought five-set match, s-2, 12-1o, -e, 4-s. 6-4. He will meet Richard honor of challenging William NJ. Johnston. who defends his title. won in 1916 the last year the tournament was played.
 The great resistance put up by Niles against the ex-title holder was both a surprise and h delight to the gallery, which had becn quite pre- pared to witness a slaughter, par tlcuIariy after Williams had romped through 6 one-sided first set at 8-2. But the Bosson!an canae back In splendid fashion aftor this opening reverse and played the best tennis of hts career throughout the rest of tho match. Hi@ driving was not only steady and accurate, as always, but lar more speedy than has genera dy been tne case. He was able to pass
  est opening presented itself. and often had the better of the long driving duels which made up a majority of ;he rallies.
 Niles showed little respect for hls rivals fast service, breaking through 1t no less than seven times in the course of the match. Ills own de- livery also proved unusually effective, keeping Williams far back from the net and opening the way for many a well-placed drive. It was essen tIaily a back court battle, and this type of argument hes never been dis tasteful to Niles.
 Williams was inclined to try out his ground strokes in the early stages of the encounter, seeking to win by the use of sheer speed and accuracy of placement, but when he found himself outstesdied at this game he lost no time in calling In his volley- ing reserves. He made plenty of characteristic errors in attempting tn almost impossible, but also came across with c1aracteristlcally magical shots whenever the need of wizardry was greatest.

HOW BIG LEAGUES KEEP
 RECORDS OF THE PLAYERS

or limo on occasions when a group or boKmen figure in game. The ruloH for crediting pitchers with vic tories and charging them with defeats nre very explicit, but at times 1t hap pens that problems appear that re- dulr7 deep thinking.
 The first thing that is done in the National Tengue offices each morning of th~ playing season Is to cut out and paste up the previous days scores, Hcrapbook being used for this pur- pose. Tho club standing is kept by means of n large wall schedule, with n shcct-stoel backing. The date is punched for the club winning the game. This card shows at a glance the clubs won and lost games, ms well as tho tie and postponed games. When the scores for a series arc O. K. they are returned to the official scorer for correction.
 Bofore the man who enters the scores receives them from the Ma tonal League secretary, MT. Heydler enters tho team totals for the game on specially prepared sheet, every detail boing shown. There are eight of those sheets-one for each club.
 There arc two kinds of record sheets-one for tho batters and neld- CTS and another for the pitchers. Thoso arc of tho loose leaf ledger kind. tho last season the National League having kept its averages in a book having been 1907.
 Each player who participates in Q game, oven for ono inning of one con- test all year as O pinch runner, has set aside for him one ledger sheet, It is headed up with his full name and contains information as to how he bats and throws, what club he came from, whether he was purchas- cd or drafted or a free agent Should tho player be transferred to another National Leagua club his pse<erzn- aRpes with AAS e1d teaR &Fo to1aa1o6 ID aad the tp1eSUnet1ea aS te W3sW1

 The ledger sheets for the players contain places for the dates of the game, the name of the club 1t Is against, for the number of the game and for all the details of the official score. These are total1ed up every month and balanced with the figures kept by MT. Heydler.
 The pitching records show whether the man started and finished the rams, who relieved him if he didn't finish the game and who he relieved if he didn't start 1t. At the end of the season each ledger sheet contains a full history of the players perform ances on the diamond.
 At one time Mir. Eeydler entered the players records at home and abroad In two different colored inks. black for the games at home and red for those abroad.
 Once the totals of the ledger sheets balance with the totals of the team sheets, me WOrk Oi SeiliHS OuI tllc National League averages does not end with the computing of the per centages.
 There are in the United States two news bureaus that furnish the news- proves that the scores have been figures are checked against the of- hcial National league figures, This priyes that tho scores have been properly entered to the right ac- counts.
 After this comes the computing of the averages. which afterwards are all proved, and after this comes the arranging of the figures for publica- tion.
 MT. Heydler's first statistical work was done for the government in Washington in 18s6. He was then as familiar with figures of the train, of the yailroads and of tho eleetiQus as he lateg became with the dgurss e5 tAs p9aVHs,
