The heavy lines show the old base
lines, while the light lines exhibit the
newly-arranged paths. BY the new
plan the pitchers box would be placed
back five feet from the place at pres
ent occupied, enabling the curver to
guard first and second bases more ef-
fectively. The batsmen would have
decided advantage, fewer strike-outs
would result, making brilliant fielding,
and giving scientific batsmen and fast
runners more chances to beat the ball
to first base. The catcher would also
be brought ten feet nearer to second
base, enabling him to throw more ac-
curately to that point for the purpose
of preventing free stealing. The change
in the foul lines would eliminate the
large number of foul hits, by giving the
batsmen chance to drive the ball be-
tween the in-fielders, together with
causing the out-iielders to spread
farther apart, increasing the chances
for longer hits and more brilliant field
ing. As the essential points of base
ball consists of free hitting, clean-cut
fielding and fast base-running, there
are potent arguments to favor the
change, as it would increase the bat
ting, lessen the battery work without
tanning the pitcher, increase the work
of the fielders fifty per cent, and cause
base runners to exercise good judy
ment with speed. Sacrament Bee.

Why THE REPUBLICANS ARE LOSING
THE US. SENArE.-A shrewd observer
tells why the Republicans are losing
ground in the senate. He says that
the railroads have controlled that
body for the last ten years and the
loss of the Republican control there
can be traced directly to popular re
volt against the railroad influences
which have SO long dominated that
body. It has been matter of COM
mon notoriety that any Legislation
adverse to the powerful railroad cor
porations Of the country could not
secure even respectful consideration
by the Republican senate. The re-
spectacle element of the Republican
party are deserving it's ranks on ac-
count this apparent corruption to be
seen In the acts of the Republican
Senators.
