weakness in catching, looms up in
second place. This, OF course, is DUE
to the fact that the Giants in their
endeavor to purchase a pennant last
year secured the services of Gonzales
and Snyder two Of the first water
veterans. In inverse ratio the strength
OF the Giant pitching stan must
show improvement.
The worlds champion Reds rank
third. Their catching stan runs true
to Red form. Moran can use his
oatchers so as to get the best results
from all. In stead of being as weak
as the weakest point OF each catcher,
Moran's STAFF as a whole seems to
adjust itself so that he can utilize
the strongest feature Of each mans
work

There is considerable trouble in dop-

l go to press with this dope, there is
a big chance that Gowdy may be
transferred TO another club before the
real season starts. In that event, We
will have to make second study Of
catching strengths.
The pills have an extraordinary
amount of strength in the catching
department l am frank TO admit
that IL that team figured a little

catching figures would be much moro

work for good catche-s to handle bad
pitchers. Ii the Phils had q real

so discouraginE, the catching strength
would show greater in the figures.
In the next article we will study

ing, as you know. Is hirty per cent
OF the total defensive strength of any
team. Therefore the study OF the
pitchers take on great importance in
doping. The figures are important

One More Victory
Gives Red SOr

kNOXVIdIAI1, Tenn, April John
Easter Sunday. The Vice President
and manager of the New York club,
and Ed Barrow, leader Of the Boston
Red Sox, were willing to play a game
for the benefit of the Chattanooga
flood victims, but the owner of Chill
howee Park refused to open the gates
OF his ball grounds on the sabbath for
even 80 worthy a cause.
So the Giants and Red Sox de-
parted from the third largest city in
Tennessee at 5 o'clock for Asheville,
N. c., where to-day's game will be
played at IL o'clock. Jesse Barnes,
the pride OF Circleville, Kan, and
Billy Ryan. the promising yOungster
from Holy Cross, will pitch against
the Boston team to-day
The Giants need only one more victory
to win the series from the Red Sox
and this victory should arrive when
the Anal out is mcde at Ashevile

catcher. tops the list with a percentage
OF 1886 for seven games. Close to the

The men who hunted the river
mussel along the Wabash before the
days of the button industry hunted
it for the pearl sometimes found inn
bedded between its flesh and shell.
Struggling up and down the streams,
often singly, sometimes in crews, they
were shiftless, fiery, reckless breed
of feather with the buccaneers of
other days, and led on by the same
lure; chance flig at fortune. a pearl
of great value was sometimes found
even running well up into the thou
sands. But the chance of finding
such a pearl was small. Still there
was the chance, and it is surprising
what certain type of men will en-
dure for such a chance, when the
same ends might be attained. certain
and sure, by patient industry.
The story of the few who did hap
pen to light upon a valuable find
usually ran pretty much the same-a

where from three days to three weeks,

She leant forward and sat stfll and

REDUCING TOMATO ACREAGE.

Reduced acreage of Florida tomato
growers has resulted from inability of
the railroads to handle a large guam
tity of produce in the wintertime.
Probably less than half last years
acreage will be planted to tomatoes
the coming season, according to a
statement made by E. Fl. Webb, pres
ident of the Florida East Coast Grow
er'S association at the annual meeting
of that organization. Mr.. Webb sug-
gested the movement for deep water
as the real solution for Miami's trans
portation problems.
A survey of the situation discloses
that the largest individual grower of
that section, Thomas J. Peters, will
plant only five hundred acres, where
as last year he had about 1900 acres
under cultivation. The Standard
Growers Association will plant only
about so per cent Of normal and H.
c. Hardie, the second largest individ-
ual grower will put out only about
twenty-five per cent of his usual
planting.
In spite of the fact that the tomato
crop of the lower coast was reduced
by rs per cent by the freezes of
March, and that the remaining 25 per
cent dlu iIOI pIOouCe ike an
average yield. yet with only a frac-
ton of the crop to move, the railroads
were unable to provide sufficient cars
to handle it, and only a small part *of
the equipment furnished was of the
correct type for the season, with the
result that a large proportion of the
tomato shipments were damaged or
ruined en- route,
Mr.. Webb said that in his opinion
not over 5000 or 1000 acres of toma-
toes should be planted on the East
Coast. If normal crop has been
produced last year most of it would
have rotted in the fields. .e... .. .
Thousands of dollars were lost to
the state last year through inability
OF the railroads to handle freight, due
to strikes and shortage of cars.
