Monte Pearson, Pat Malone and Bump Hadley all of whom used to toll in other places, have accounted for no less than 3l of the New 'YoYkers' 04 victories and Bhould come pretty close to pitching the Tanks into the junior league pen" nart.
 Malone Going Great
 Pearson, who won eight and lost 13 with Cleveland last season, has a record of l3 wins and five losses with the Tanks. Malone won only three games after his old boss, Joe Mccarthy, rescued him from the scrap heap last year. Now Pat has Q i0-3 record and is going strong. Hadley, who won 10 and lost 10 with Washington in 1885, leads all New York pitchers in the percentage column with eight victories and one defeat. Offsetting New York's gains to some extent is the loss of Jimmy Doshong, who, traded to Washing ton, sports a 13-0 winning margin.
 Allen Wins 1l.7
 The runner-up Cleveland Indians are benofitting from "change ot scenery" pitching, too. Johnny Allen, obtained from New York for Pearson, was an il-7 record to date All last season Johnny won only l3. George Blaeholder won 2 games with St. Louis and Philadelphia Q year ago. With tho Indians thus far he has won 6.
 The case of Curt Davis stands but in the National League. DAVIS had two victories to his cyedit when the Phillies traded him to Chi" cago in mid-May. But under impe" tus Of tho Cubs drive to the top Curt hes built up . i0-S winning margin.
 Pitchers whose efficiency picked up after they were swapped or sold had Q hand in severay victories m the two leagues yesterday.
 Indians Win two
 In the American League Malone went to Red Rulings rescue In the eighth inning as the Yankees de- feated Detroit, i3.3. Sugar Cain' acquired by trade from St. Lotus earlier in the season, pitched Chi- cago to c 7-6 victory over philadel' phia, Chief Hosett, formerly or the Tigers, went the route as St. Louis degeated Boston, 0-3. Cleveland took twin bill from Washington, 1i-0 and 6-6.

4HHeLueTS ana ouJHeldefb no longer work for hours every day trying to overcome weaknesses. It isn't worth the trouble. An in- fielder seldom can get Q ball hit more than two or three steps to either side of him. Fly chasers have to play deep for ordinary hitters.
 Nowadays too many players are not as good the second year in the majors as they were the first. They find hitting easy and take 1t for granted that they are big leaguers after Q good first year.
 "Any fellow who could hit .27S years ago ought to hit more than 300 now without any difilculty," says Hornsby, manager of the st.. Louis Browns and one of the great hitters of all time.
 "With the outfielders playing as deep as they do now, Ty Cobb would take two bases almost every time he hit the ball past the in. field.
 Deadeued Ball Means Variety
 "They say tho fans want more baseball. That's oil right. But why not give them the kind of baseball that keeps them on edge for nino innings2 Now you see them start walking out in the fifth inning of the second game of . double-head- CT. They get too much baseball. Games last too long and are too one-sided.
 "The kind of games they used to like, and the kind I believe they still liko better than l4 to 8 slug ging matches, are the kind we played the Yankees in the first two of our last series, 5 to { and 6 to S, with the result dn doubt right up to the last out.
 "With tho ball deadened, there B greater variety to the game, and Q smart manager or Q smart player can do better than Q fellow who doesn't try to improve himself"
 Hornsby sticks to the opinion that Joe DiMaggio, the Yankees prize recruit, can be pitched to; that ho has some weaknesses at the plate. No Pitchers Pitch to DIMaggIo
 Don't get me wrong," asserts the Rajah. "Of oil the players who camo into tho American League this season, DiMaggio is the best. He can hit, run, field, and think, but l still stick to what said after my first look at him.
 "If I had soinO pitchers on my club I believe he could Do slowed down ct the plate. Our pitchers can't pitch to anybody in the way I mean. I believe that Q good pitcher could work on DiMaggio But there aren't any on my club who can, aS he hos proved. l guess DiMaggio hits better against our club than any other"
 Hornsby has come to the conclu" sion that there Just aren't any pitch. CTS. If there were, he reasons that Tom Yawkey and the Red Sox, with c million dollars to spend, and the Cardinals, with . million players in their chain, would dig them up.
 "What do you think Yawkcy would have paid for two good pitch- CTS just before June lb?" he asks. The Red Box offered the Cleveland club S3O,000 for Wills Hudlin, . free quenter of the bull pen.
 The powers took the inside out of baseball by loading 1t with jaclsrab- bit as Q means of creating synthetic Babe Ruths. But now that the hit- ters have run away with the game, HornShy would even things up and keep the business alive by deadening the ball.

STATE RELIEF FAVORED
BY COMMISSIONER GROUP
Western Maryland Counties Also
Urge Return Of Dirt Roads To
Their Jurisdiction
REAsSEssMENT WANTED

s Continuance of state contributions
for relief, with local administration of
funds has the support of the West
ern Maryland County Commissioners
Association.
With eleven of its twelve members
present the association adopted resolu-
tons at Frederick last Friday calling
for return of the lateral roads from
the state to the counties, and for gen
eral reassessment for tax purposes,
effective in 1888.
The relief resolution was offered by
Joseph H. Blanford,of Prince Georges
county. 1t recommended that the state
continue to provide relief funds, but
asserted the money should be admin
istered and "fairly" apportioned by
the counties and Baltimore city,.
One Negative Vote
The single negative vote against the
measure was cast by Carroll county,
whose relief roll is the smallest in the
state.
Nelson W. Russler, member of the
Allegany board, introduced the roads
resolutions as well as the suggestion
for property revaluation. Commenting
en- his roads move Russler asserted
the Estates noble experiment" in con-
trolling the lateral roads has been a
dismal failure"
Control by the state still holds
through 1887. Legislative action will be
needed to restore the control of the
counties.
Part of the wording of the original
resolution, charging the roads were
placed under the state to help "the
lettering states roads machine" was
deleted after protest from Attorney
Edwin C. Peter, of Montgomery
county.
The vote was 10 to O, Prince Georges
declining to ballot because it was sat
isfied with state administration.
A property reassessment for taxa
ton was postponed for two years by
the 1886 legislature. Property values
since have decreased and the present
valuation is unfair, some of the COM
missioners said.
