CLARK GRIFFITH ; PROVES A WINNER ""' Clever Baseball General Gives Cincinnati Fast Ball Team. HIS YOUNGSTERS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE SEASON THE REDS HAVE KEPT UP IN FIRST DIVISION AND SHOW GRIT AND ABILITY. Cincinnati, O., Sept. 25. For mayor of Cincinnati, Manager Griffith. That's the way the fans down here feel about "Griff," even though he has not given the city a champion team in the first year of his local managership. "Griff took a bunch of youngsters; 'this spring and welded them into a first division club right off the reel. His success was unexpected outside of Cincinnati and some .other places where he was well known. The average critic on looking over the lineup! of the Reds early In the season and noting the great number of young and unknown players, naturally relegated the club to a low position in the race. "They may develop in time, but they can't make any kind of a showing this year," was the almost universal commtnt Old Fox Griff Fools 'Em. , But Griff thought differently, and lie bent bis energies to fooling the wise critics. His success is now recognized, and hia methods are approved by all who are familiar with them; Griff is a tireless worker and a man who devotes his entire time and attention to winning each game of ball as it comes along. Nothing satisfies him but : success. He is absolutely thorough and conscientious In all his work. If he makes any mistakes they are of the head, and not of the heart. His one idea is to give Cincinnati a winning team, and he has done better in his year of incumbency than numerous previous ' managers who were more highly' touted when they came here. Griff . will be here next season, with bells " on, and every thinking fan is glad of it, for it is a cinch that no effort will be avoided that will tend to put th5 Reds higher in the race than they are this year. Griff was fortunate in having on his list a bunch of young players who are ambitious to succeed, and who invariably give him the best assistance that they can. There are no drones or shirkers in' the Red lineup. This bunch of kids has gone through a major league campaign, most of them for the first time, without weakening or showing the white feather, no matter how strong the opposition. Youngsters Make Good. .-. It is a remarkable thing, when you stop to think of it, that only two of the regulars were ever in the big league before this season. Lobert and Mitchell are comparatively young players, too. the former having been in the National league three years and the latter only two before this season. AH the others are green and new to the majors, and yet they have beaten out teams like Philadelphia, composed of star players and touted during the last winter as a pennant probability, and Brooklyn, with a lot of experienced and high class material, badly handled. In Hobby, Bescher and Egan, Griff found three young stars ready to his hand. Hobby is only 21 years old and yet he has been playing as good ball as any first baseman in the league and hitting like a Wagner. He is a lad of good habits and much ambition and he will be the best first baseman in the business next year, if nothing happens to him. Develops a Ty Cobb? Bescher, who was carried a while at a substitute, demonstrated as soon as he had an opportunity that he would be a regular. He is now the only rival of Ty Cobb as a base runner, and will lead the National league in that important feature of the game. Griff has turned him around lefthanded at the bat, which is the way Bob ought to hit, and he is already showing improvement In his batting. Now that the crab is at home he will put in the morning every day J practicing at the left-hand style, and he will start next season in fine form. Egan is one of the smoothest Infieldera that has been developed this year, with a strong and accurate arm, a great pair of hands on ground balls and a good batting eye. Downey, who is playing his first year at the short field, having previously been a second and third baseman; Oakes, who has been hampered by accident and illness. and George Paskert will be better .than ever next season, and the . Reds will start with much, brighter prospects than ever before. ' All the members of the .team are good . actors,' keeping In shape at all :. times and J anxious to do their - best work for the club. ' That ts why they have won. so many games on the road this year. A team of careless actors ; always falls down i- when away-- from home, but the Reds have done Just as well ; on foreign fields as they have on their own lot,' which Is the best kind "of a sign.

PRESIDENT TAFT PLACES SALVE Oil . PIMM'S WOUNDS Continued From Page One.) f correspondent learns that the Salt Lake City welcome has been characterized more for Its sociability than its enthusiasm. People here say that Roosevelt got a much more tumultous reception, but that's what has been said an along the line. This morning at the breakfast table This morning at the breakfast of the Commercial club President Taft returned to the subject of railroad regulation, and particularly the regularity of railroad rates. By inference, there was comfort In his brief address for California, which he is approaching, where the 'railroads are endeavoring

to nulify the benefits of the Increased tariff on lemons, by increasing the freight rates.

President is Cheered. During the delivery of the address the president 'was frequently Interrupted by bursts of applause He was made an honorary member of the club. - - This - banquet began , at . 8:30 o'clock and terminated at 9:30 when the president and party were taken to Saltair; where they had a view of great. Salt ..Lake.......- .w-.'... - Returning to Salt Lake City, the president was escorted to the Tabernacle where an organ recital was given in his honor. The recital was private, those present being limited to the. members of the presidential party and a few special guests. It is noteworthy, however, that on this occasion Joseph Smith. . president of the Mormon church, and his aged mother sat at the left of the president In the gallery of the great .auditorium where some of the world's greatest singers and musicians have been heard. The recital lasted three quarters of an hour and at its conclusion the president in a few words thanked the organist and the soloists for the pleasure they had afforded him. In departing he shook hands with President Smith, who led the applause as the president and his party filed out Trouble is Expected. It will be strange If some popular manifestation of the differences be tween the gentiles and the Mormons does not come before the president leaves Salt Lake City. The storm which has been raging all around the president since his arrival here broke a-new today when, whether by accident or design is not known, two newspaper reporters representing anti-Mormon or "American" papers were excluded from the special train carrying the president and his party to Saltair. while the representatives of the Mormon papers were made welcome. , The Anti-Mormon papers tonight were filled with railings against Sena tor Smoot and his fellow committeemen. It is declared that the Mormons have deliberately monopolized the president since he entered Utah to the exclusion of the gentiles. No blame is laid on the president in connection withthe affair. It is pointed out that be is being made the dupe of the Mormons for political and religious effect. Special stress is laid on the alleged fact that Joseph Smith, president of the church, "with his two wives," several counselors to the prophet 'and some more apostles were on the .special train. Nothing In the way of an official protest has been made to the presi dent. Following a banquet tonight, a reception was held. The president's program tomorrow includes a review of a living flag by children and another visit to the Tabernacle. He leaves at six p. m. for Ogden. MORRIS M.

The state board of directors will i meet in Indianapolis next Saturday. On account of the inability of President Lebo to attend, the meeting called for yesterday, the same was postponed until next Saturday.

They, are urging blm to give up the road and make the Post headquarters his permanent home. . ' -. ..... Another chmee in Ppnmtvlvanl'i trains goes in effect today. Ask for a new time card. ? The new schedule of the J. M. and L train which went in effect two weeks ago, is meeting with universal approval among the boys using this road out of Richmond. These new trains add much to the accommodation in a direc tion heretofore never touched by Rich mond trains. These trains, in a short time, will be doing a good business. Frank Highley has received his check from the national treasurer for the indemnity due him from the T. P. A, on account of severe sprain of his ankle. ; The payments of the T. P. A. are always prompt and are given quick attention by those in charge. If you can become a T. P. A. you are making a great mistake to stay out of this excellent organization. The T. P. A. is on a firm basis with a large reserve fund and ready always to pay promptly all legitimate claims. Its membership is of a high standard, comprising the leading men of every community in which a post is located. Join the good crowd. From reports received the members of Indiana division are not on the job with a big hammer stirring up the bushes for new members. If we expect any good results in 1910 then you had better get busy and write a new application. The meeting: held in the post club rooms last nieht Droved to be the greatest "talkfest" ever pulled off in the headquarters of the post. If you were not there you have missed a treat of your life, as everyone had something to say, sometimes, and gen erally all at the same time. The post at their meeting last night decided to participate in the fall festival parade and will make every effort to get out a large delegation to march and represent the post in a creditable mannere. Every one at the meeting showed a disposition to help along the festival In every manner possible and will do all in their power to help make the festival parade a grand success. And now comes the big show to be pulled off next Saturday night. That is the day set for the first grand smoker of the winter season. Every member of the post is expected to be in at tendance and start off the season in a good old fashioned T. P. A. style. A lunch will be served under the charge of the committee on arrangements and several other entertaining features are being planned. Daddy Kramer says this time it was a ground hog case. Be on the lookout for one appearing in new costume next Sunday, weather permitting. Our fashion plate has Just purchased a new outfit and will make his first appearance in the same on the above date. When it comes to a vote the "knockers" fail to show, their strength. WILL RESUME WORK (American News Service) Pittsburg. Pa., Sept. 25. Ten thousand glass-workers will resume work by November first, the most of them inside of the next three weeks as the result of an agreement reached after a four-day conference In this city between the glass bottle blowers' association and the manufacturers by which the 1908 wage scale Is practically enacted for another year. At a conference in July the manufacturers demanded what was equivalent to a fifty per cent reduction which the blowers declined to accede to with the result that all the factories have been closed since that time. One of the manufacturers stated that business conditions in the trade look more promising than at any time since the panic JAIL GETS PRAISE Sheriff Meredith was informed Friday evening by the Indiana jail inspector with, headquarters at Indianapolis, that Wayne county leads in respect ts keeping the inmates of the jail at work.

LIST OF EVENTS: Address Fall Festival October A LEMON CUCUMBER Spokane,' Wash., Sept. 25. The "lemon cucumber" is the latest achievement in- the form of a freak vegetable. It is a new product of the soil grown by George F. Brown, an orchardist and truck gardener at Spokane Bridge, near this city, and is the result of a series of experiments covering the last six years, since Brown was graduated from the agricultural department of the University of Wisconsin. The "lemon cucumber," a combination of fruit and vegetable, is almost spherical in shape and is somewhat larger than a lemon. Besides having a thick skin and an unusually sweet meat. It differs from other cucumbers in that it lacks those elements that cause human stomachs to become ill at ease. The "lemon cucumber is recognized as. a new product by experts at the experimental stations in Idaho and Washington, who regard It as ranking with any of the products developed by Luther Burbank. ' An acre of plants grown between rows of young orchard trees produced a crop that marketed for $500. TRIED WRECK A CAR (American News Service) Omaha. Neb... Sept. 25.
