ANY team in tho National League
that can keep two star pitchers near top
condition for four months can win inc
pennant. a..
most astute managers in the business,
He was discussing dope, and he figures
one really greae pitcher is enough 10
land any club, either American or Ma
tional, in the first division and two stars
are enough to win championship OF

a team with a bunch OF second raters-
can keep in top condition halt OF the
season. In other words. II pltcner Is
unlucky enough to be with team which
has q mediocre second string pitching

fort to carry the team:

and a bunch Of near stars ripenlng VINO
ought to be ready to bear the burden.
This manager figures however that Co.
veleskie and Bagby are liable to weaken
under tn punishment Of carrying inc
team during the first two months.
Let us examine into the Statements VI
OF Coveleskie. Cleveland would be trail
ing back in the second division. But Tor
the remarkable pitching OF Dutch Reu,
Their, Cincinnati would be In second
place. But for Alexander's wonderful
streak, backed by Vaughan's winning
spasm. the Cubs would be tail enders;
Without Meadows, Philadelphia would
be more hopeless than 1t Is. without
Meadows, Philadelphia would be more
bnnsiess than II is without Cicotte.
the White Sox would appear lucky 10
! get into the first flight.
There Is something In the manager 5
statement, but the flaw shows UP when
Sre.t nitchers, still trailing. The star
pitcher is a big asset, but something
mora Is needed to make q winner.

Pitahsd ut Bulls Eye.

New ideas pop into the game oCca-
sionally. A kid catcher for the Unirer-
sity OF California team brought an inni-
walton cast when the Native Sons came
on TO tackle the eastern colleges. He
had bulls eye target painted on the
front OF his chest protector to aid the
pitcher in aiming. In game against
Fordham he seemed to be giving his sig
nails by the heighth at which he squat
ted or stood, holding the target for the
pitcher TO shoot at. The plan did not
help the control Of the pitcher any in
the Fordham game. hut il is one that
would be helpful Ia many pitchers. cs-

GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, May .17.-Declines in the
price of corn took place today large
~ as a result of predictions that the
interstate commerce commission
would soon use emergency measures
to move grain more rapidly. The
fact that grain receipts here today
had somewhat increased was also a
bearish factor. Selling, however, de-
Veloped only moderate volume. Open

July 1873 Ia to 1.79 and September
1.65 to 1.65 1-2, were. followed by a
decided setback all around.

New York.. May 1.-THE profess

again apparent today from the ease
with which prices reached at the first
signs OF renewed pressure. Pan

made extreme declines Of slz2 and
4 "a points, respectively; Bethle-
hem, Crucible, Replogle and vana-

and Atlantic Gulf 8. Declines of 3
to 8 points accompanied the. reaction
in related s%pecialties. Rails, espe-
cially transcontinentals, broke l to
l IL points. Little encouragement
was offered by the market" call loans
opening at 8 per cent. Recurrent
weakness in Liberty bonds and Vic
tory notes at new low records also
added to the unsettlement of the
forenoon.
Recoyeries Of 1 to 2 points occur
red during the mid-session, the weak
est issues of the morning being the
first to rally, The market became
~listless on the moderate rebound,
however, the short interest showing a
general disposition to hold off pend

Work, the Key
to Success

Men often complain that they do
not possess the genius which ma
ture gave to other men of success.
But note who some of the greatest
men have to say on that point;
there is no secret to genius:
Lord Macauley, who sometimes
wrote on his histories for twelve
hours at sitting, said: 81 have
made myself what I am by in
tense labor" When Turner, the
celebrated artist, was asked the Sc
cret of his tremendous success, he
