HOBOES NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER MODERN. TRAINS.

The advent of streamlined train, with promise of more to come, has brought alarm to Jeff Davis, the King of the Hoboes."
 "How is anybody going to ride rods OF that hing" he asks.
 Accordingly, on his motion, the hobo convention at Cincinnati has proposed that railroad coach, fares be made one cent a mile, so that hoboes will be able to ride.
 In case anybody wonders where a hobo gets cent, King Jeff explains
 Hoboes, he says, as he said before, are not ''bums.'' The official name of their order is International Itin- erant Workers Union.
 As Jeff expresses it, a hobo is a man who thinks the world owes him a job and he wanders around seeking it while a tramp thinks the world owes him a living and he will not work to get it.
 A third class, fare such as the hoboes seek is not likely. If they should obtain it they would not en- joy it's benefits alone.

The value of that output is approximate ly $36,S41 1856. gold representing slightly in excess of 25,000,000 and the remainder in silver and lead.
 Its underground workings com prise about fifty miles in drifts ana erosscuts, raises, winzes, intermedI- a5e drifts, powder drifts, bulldozing chambers and stations. It owns and operates it's own water power sites and plants.
 Three years ago it discovered adj diti3nal ore bodies of large extent beneath the original ground. A substantial amount of development work has been done there w;Sh the result that commercial re in suffi cient quantities to .tdd many years to the life of the property was re- veaIed. 1t averages considerably higher per ton than the ore worked during the past 40 years.
 Ore is now, being produced from this new ground and within d jew months new equipment will have been installed =. boosting materially production from. that source. Over the entire period of it's existence ore values have averaged one dollar per gross ton. It has been in, the divid- dend paying classsfor several years, has retired all unfunded and funded debts; and has accumulated 9 fine surplus to finance any new explara- ttionos that maybe undertaken, and for other purposes.
 There are other operating lode mines in the Juneau district and still others in exploratory and develop ment stages. Two of the best known are on Chicagof IsTand-Chicagof Mining Company, Ghicagof, and Hirst-Chicagof Mining Company at Kimsha Bay.

Cannot Do Impossible.
TT is hinted that Comiskey nj

TT is limited that Comiskey may
start by firing Lew Fonseca as
manager Of his team. Firing the
manager of a losing team is an old
custom, and the White Sox have done
we'll by the custom during the past Is
years. But firing a manager in May
is something new even for the White
Sox. I don't think Lew Fonseca is
much to blame for the White Sox COL
lapse. Mr.. Fonseca started to be a
dentist and not plastic surgeon.
Consequently he cannot graft new
arms on a bunch of worthless pitch
ers. The pitchers paid by Mr.. Com
1skey still would be parties of the
eighth part if throwing for Ponca
City. Okla, in the Western Associa-
tion. Chicago's catchers are strictly
Ponca City in ability and some things
might be said about some Of the clubs
outfielders and infelders, but the
pitching is the chief fault.
1t is suggested that either Muddy"
Ruel or Jimmy Dykes will be made
manager of the SoX in case Fonseca
is given notice and good wishes.
However, both Ruel and Dykes should
be too smart for that. The Sox need
new pitchers and not new managers,
unless they could get guy like Carl
Hubbell for the job. Ted Lyons.
George Earnshaw, Sam Jones am
Milt CASTOR were winners when they

The three cookers began to con-
slider the possibility of framing a cock

into the pit. Ordinarily every game
rooster is carefully trained and con-
ditioned for two weeks before a main

him on a mattressed table, letting
him fly up in the air from various
angles and seeing to it that he lands
squarely on his feet. Then the cock
is "cross-walked." The owner forces
him to walk up and down the table.
The cock resists with his legs. which

~ IGHT when it appears to

American League race, the
Washington ball club gets a jolt
that has Clark Griffith burning

aid.
When that charleyhorSe gal
loped into Moe Bergs right prop
in the fourth inning of yester-
days game, the Nationals were
left high and dry so far AS a real
big league catcher is concerned.
The situation must be relieved
quickly or the clubs plight will
be sorry indeed.
Luke Sewell, although he did some
pitching to batters in practice yester-
day. still is unuble to go behind the
bat for big league game. The index
finger of his right hand that Was
thrown out of gear by a foul in a
training season tilt continues to annoy
him. Luke cannot throw with any
accuracy nor grip a bat firmly.
Elmer Klumpp. the ambitious young
man from the Chattanooga club who
landed job with the Nationals be-
cause Cliff Bolton persisted in running
a country grocery instead of accept
ing terms offered by the Washington
club this year, does what he can be-
hind the bat in emergencies. But he
is far from being a big league receiver.

Bill Tilden figures the job an i'm
possible undertaking so far as 1884 Is
concerned. but Tilden has great faith
IN Williams.
At this moment, the three leading
entries on the singles side are Lester
Stoefen, Sidney Wood and Frank
Shields. They should carry the
strongest possibilities Of success. But
several others will be given their shot
at the squad before any final nomina-
tions are made.
It is a queer turn that the United
States should dominate the game Of
golf and yet pass seven or eight years
back of the tennis leaders from
France and England.
Apparently the younger set, who
were to follow big Bill Tilden and lit
tie Bill Johnston, overlooked too many
fundamentals on their way up. They
depended too much on sheer power
on hard hitting-to match the ground
strokes of a Cochet, Borotra, q
Perry or a Crawford.
1t will be interesting to see what
progress Capt Williams can make in
improving this weak spot in the short

l. tionals has been more costly to
the White Sox than the loss of
the two games thus far played. They
also have lost two star players through
injury, one TOR the remainder of the
series anyway and the other for at
least two weeks.
Both Al Simmons. star cutfielder
and batter, and Mervyn Shea. first
string catcher, were hurt more serious
ly in Sundays game than at first

Simmons, who insisted upon finish
ing the game after being cracked in
the head by Joe Cronin's throw in the
second inning. was forced to remain
in his hotel room yesterday suffering
with violent headache and last night
was removed to Garfield Hospital.
Although an X-ray was made at the
hospital, no definite statement on the
severity of the injury was to be made
until today. At the hospital this
morning it was stated that while the
extent of Simmons injury had not vet
been definitely determined he was

Series of Hard Luck.

THE blow for which Dickey drew
a long suspension, caused a
fracture of the jaw which linn
tied Reynolds 1882 season to l02
games and caused his batting average
to slump to .305. Its aftermath, a
stomach disorder, probably had much
to do with his transfer to the ST
Louis Browns late that year. He was
far from his best last season, and
that prompted Rogers Hornsby into
letting him 60 to the Red Sox for
Ivy Andrews and Smead Jolley.
Hornsby, like most ball players,
even rival pitchers. is pulling hard
for Reynolds this year, and joins
Eddie Collins and Bucky Harris in
hoping that nothing will cheat him
out of his just batting deserts. His
sensational slugging, however, Is no
