Byrd Would Have
To Carry California
Route, Brown Says

As one cabinet officer to an
other, Postmaster General Brown
has informed Secretary Hyde
that Comdr. Byrd would have to
be employed as a mail carrier If
the rural route from .Sattley City
to Sierra City, Calf, is to be
continued.
This route, Mr.. Brown wrote
Mr.. Hyde, will be abandoned be-
cause it takes 80 horses, when
there is snow on the ground, to
get the mail up miles of the
road where it rises 1000 feet in
that distance.
Mr.. Hyde had written Mr..
Brown that several forest rangers
would be getting their Christmas
cards very late If the route was
discontinued. It is now ad-
vertised to run from Reno juno
ton to Downieville, Calf, where
the snow is not so deep.

GRIMES AND GROVE
TAKE THEIR GAMES
Slab Leaders in Respective
Leagues Give Sample of
Why They Set Pace.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

v ESTERDAY'S battles along the
" major league front failed to
shake up the standings to any
4 marked degree, but they die
give Burleigh Grimes and BOZ
Grove a chance TO show why they're the
leading pitchers in their respective
leagues.
Grimes, whose spit ball seems to puz-
zle the batSmen more each passing year,
pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates to an
8-to-4 victory over Brooklyn, and en-
abled them to retain their half-game
lead on the field in the National League
Grove, fastest of the fast-ball pitchers
held the Chicago White Sox to six hits
as Connie Macks Philadelphia Athletics
turned in an 8-to-2 triumph and re-
manned eight and half games ahead
of their nearest rivals in the American
League.
Grimes now can show IA victories
against / defeat. Groves record Is Ia
and 2.
Made His Job Easy.
The Pirates made Grimes task easy
by getting to Johnny Morrison early in
the game Their IL hits included home
runs by Paul Waner and Adam Comoro-
sky. Morrison's setback at the hands OF
his old teammates was his first since he
returned to the majors from the Ameri-
can Association. The curve-ball star had
won six straight games before he met
his match in Grimes.
The Cubs and Giants kept step with
the Pirates, Chicago trouncing the Bos-
ton Braves, IL to 3, behind Hal Carl
sons five-hit pitching, while the Giants
were beating the Cincinnati Reds for
the third straight time, 8 to 0. Larry
Benton gave the Reds only three hits,
no two in any one inning.
In the other National League engage
ment the Phillies made it three out of
four from the fading st. Louis Cardi-
nails, to 5, despite four hits by Chick
Hafey. The Cardinal outfielder's per-
Torrance gave him eight successive hits
Grove was given considerable oppoSi-
ton at Chicago by Harold McKain, a
rookie. The AS were leading by only
to going into the eighth, but drove
McKain out of the box with Six-run
barrage in that frame.
Yanks Bury Browns.
The Yankees kept step by burying the
st. Louis Browns under a 10-to-3 count
hammering three Brown pitchers for
is hits, including Lou GehrigS twenty
second homer of the year. George Pip
gras granted only four hits, and retired
the first Is men to face him in order
washington and Detroit split double
bill.
Four runs in the sixth gave the Cleve-
land Indians a 5-to-2 triumph over the
Boston Red Sox.

Changes in Big League Pilots,
Washington Included, RumOred

other done with it, there may be another
manager in Brooklyn in 1880. Uncle
Robby is sticking along because he has a
faction Of the board with him, but the
team isn't doing much, and won't do
much Now and then it soaks some
good club hard, especially the Giants,
and there is never any demonstration
of dissatisfaction in Brooklyn when the
home team wins from New York. There
is no great love lost between the base
ball chieftainS of those boroughS.
Reds May Change.
Cincinnati may have new manager.
There Is much clamor for one. Hen
bricks Yielded to the lure of figures in
seemed to him to be ideal on paper.
That's what it is-a paper team. The
figures are there, but they don't mean
anything with the combination that
must be made of them.
Friends of Southworth are asking that
he be given more of a trial, because
things have broken badly in st. Louis,
for which he is not responsible, but the
st. Louis management Is not overkeen
about the manner in which the players
have been handled this year.
After all, the real trouble with st.
Louis is the breaking down of Grover
Cleveland Alexander. Without him the
other pitchers of the Cardinals founder
around because he was a good leader
with whom to start series. II the best
pitcher of another team is put out of
the way by Alex, the other ST. Louis
pitchers found they could put the re-
naming pitchers of the opposition to
sleep.
There are two minor league managers
who can have jobs with the big leagues
in 1880 If they wish them.
