"Casey's team oa the road at the end of the ninth week received more money than the Coaat team. The tenth week Caaey caught a poor week, while Wal ters' tenth week was at San Francisco, The earnings of the Coaat team on the road then exceeded Casey's team $ 145.66..

In Detroit, the other day. s Alderman Andy ' Walsh, who once worked with McAleer down' In the roll r ing mills of loungstown, had been talking of the days when Jimmle was some outfielder, when McAleer - made (he statement about Cobb. "But you were a pretty good fielder yourself," objected the loyal Andy. "Yes." said Jimmle, with a laugh. "I was a good fielder. - And at various times there have been great hitters and! great runners and brainy men In the game, but- never has there been . one man who combined all these things. "Why, this man Cobb is a positive wonder. When we play the Tigers I Just sit" expectantly" to see what he Is foirtg to pull next. He Is a marvelous ielder, oov.erlng a, great amount ground, arid sure of a ball that he can reach; no pitcher has yet discovered a batting weakness in htm; he throws accurately and strong. But it is on the bases that he is supreme.' He has never had an equal . in that department and probably never will. He Is certainly the wonder of -the baseball world."

But if Mr. Jeffries wants to fight me, he knows that I will be ready to meet him at any time." , Johnson la loud In his praises or At Kaufman. He declares that the bt blacksmith Is the toughest man he ever met, and that he can beat anybody ottt- ?lde of himself, but those who saw the la-ht know only too well, that John son Is merely saying a good word for Kaufman..

There Is a story going around that if Jeffrie and Johnson are over matched It will be for a 10 round mlMun.

Jeffries Is out for the money or else he would not fight any more. If he ever got Into anything like hi old time shape, ha could stand up there - and hold his . hands 'at his sidus and let Johnson punch' him all over the ring for 10 rounds and still be fresh and stronsr st the finish.. There would be no danger . of a knockout, the thing that Jeffries " dreads njor than anything else, and at the same, time,-Jeff would stand a ohanoe to put the finishing wallop over on the big ahlne. If they went 10 fast rounds and Jeff made any sort'of a showing, the verdict would unquestionably go to him because of his wonderful popularity and the prejudico which exists all over the ' land against the black race.'' Then thejr could come out to California, later on - and fight It out to a finish.

The little guns have been ready and . waiting tor their inning this naif dozen years, tut they have, been kept out by . tue manufacturers and Jobbers wore heavily stocked with larger weap ons and not yet ready for tne cnange. .

Very soon we can exoect to hear that a 16 or 20 will da all the work of a 12 and do it cleaner and better. a However,, there Is a good deal of war rant in: reason and common sense for . the appearance of lighter and narrower gauge guna ror upland snooting. Uame Jaw are steadily restricting the num- ber of birds that are allowed to'a gun . In a day or a season, and it is not to be disputed that there is more pleas ure in cutting down a dozen quail with a close shooting 20 gauge than with a It or a 10. It is 4 more sportsmanlike weapon, too. and sportsmanship is right ly receiving its chance these days. Danger of fad. - The danger to the small bore is in making a fad of it, for, as a rule, fad : do not live very long, while for certain work the clever little weapon deserves to remain with ua always, Theres something unreasonable In driving an ounce and a quarter of shot at a little bird like Bob white Which gets up fear lesaly at your feet and is riddled before he has gone 30 yards. ' Long ago the narrower gauges should have' appealed to people for shooting such game as quail, grouse, woodcock and snipe. In fact, any bird of the upr lands. The only danger to. guard, against is tnat or crediting tne little piece with qualities which it does not possess. It should always be remembered that the lnrger the gauge of a shotgun the greater its , range ana power. , this not only because , the blg l gauges- wlll drive a lieavier load of shot, but they will han dle large shot to better .advantage. f rom ttmes ana snotguns or Today," Dy unanes Asians, in tne October out ing.
