REJECTED BY THE MANAGER.
A Device to Insure Satisfaction With
the Decision of Umpires.

The ent husiasm of genius burned in the
seedy mans eye as he entered the Office
of the manager Of the great metropolitan
ball team.
"Good morning." he said in cheerful
tones. 81 have here something to which
/ would like TO call your attention. -
The manager stopped in his figuring up
of averages and looked the man over, then
proceeded with his work, remarking
"Don I care TO look at any new catch
ers' masks. Haven't any use for rubber
lined bats on my team. Don't take any
stock in baseInen's gloves with glue on
'em. Never use patent creased trousers
for base sliding. Couldn't use all auto
matte pitching machine for practice IL
bad 1t. Baseball novels are out of my
line. Have no wish to look at"
This Is not patent machine or a
book, sir, " said the seedy man softly. at
Is q little device of my own 10 insure sat :
isfaction with the decisions Of the um-
pire."
Nervously the manager looked at his
visitor, but the man showed no evidences
OF disordered brain. lie interpreted
the glance
"No; am not crazy" said he. "All l
ask is a fair consideration OF my plan.
You have had trouble with your umpires
from time to time, presume?"
"It is no exaggeration 10 say that, I" re-.
piled the manager.
"Crowd gets excited occasionally?'
"Hes; I've seen that happen, too. ~
Calls the umpire names, perhaps?"
ITS quite possible. 7"
"May be even hurls missiles at him?"
"Well, I've seen things thrown at an
umpire, admitted the Baseball man.
Captains get mad and threaten to
punch holes in him?n
"And he fines 'em 500 each: then
there's trouble all round" sighed the
other
"Well, my plan will obviate all that, "
declared the seedy man. "Once use the
American Umpire Protector and Convin-
Ger OF Kickers and you'll never have an
other bit of trouble. Now, here's the
scheme. or course, most OF the trouble
comes on close decisions on outs. NV
umpir protector consists i'm small
camera worn under the umpire's shirt,
with the lens projecting. ON close de-
cision the umpire rushes forward toward
the base, calls his decision, and at the
critical moment presses the button. An
instantaneous picture IS taken. The
crowd kicks, the players howl, the UNI
ptre sends his picture by an assistant to
a convenient dark room, and by quick
process IT is developed in two minutes.
The players are still kicking when the
picture is brought out and shown. The
plate cannot lie. There is the picture OF
the player wildly sliding to base, still
few inches away, while the other player
has the ball on him. Spectators can buy
copies OF the plates after the game at five
cents apiece, and thus preserve the star
features OF the game. II the picture fails
TO bear out the umpire's decision the de-
cisIon must be reversed. It's the great
est scheme ever designed. Now I'm pre-.
pared to hire out next season to umpire
games by the Photographic process at
200 per game, or al reduced rates for con-
tract for the season. What do you say?p
, "Young man, said the manager tadly.
"you are too bright and beautiful for life
In a sporting world. What you want to

A POIsONER HANGED.
He Killed Man by Putting Strych-
nine Into His Beer.

COLUMBUS o., Sept. 27. Martin Ad-
ans OF Cincinnati, who caused the death
OF John Dinner, by putting strychnine
into pint OF beer, was hanged i'm the
penitentisry annex at 1907 o'clock this
morning. He died OF strangulation In
llla minutes. Adams was indifferent to
his fate up to the time he mounted the
death trap, when he showed slight nerv-
business. Strong efforts were made by
Bishop Waters, his spiritual adviser, TO
save his life. Adams was about % years
old, and when tthe crime was committed
was helper TO Dinner, who was a black
smith. The poisoning was the result of
trouble between the men growing out OF
attentions paid Dinners wife by Adams.

tim Loses Too.

Despite the thousand and one times that
the great intelligent public has been
warned against the workings OF the con-
fidence man and his first cousin, the
three-shell man, II still continues TO con-
tribute Of Its hard-earned money to sharp
ers.
Down upon the shining sands of Nam
tasket the other day, q battalion OF three
Shell workers were congregated. There
were about 16 OF them, three oily-tongued
manipulators of the shells and the re-
mainder "cappers.
Their method OF operation was the same
in every case. The ball would be set a
rolling by the shell man, a crowd would
collect in his vicinity, and the habitues
rub elbows.
The shell worker would juggle and shift
the three shells and the pea around on
his diminntive cloth-covered board In q
bungling manner. This way, that way
and the other way, round and round,
now here, now there, he would move the
little black sphere.
The eyes Of the crowd follow its varied
course eagerly The moving hand sud-
denly stops, and the tiny bal! disappears

takes the chance for 50. Whereupon the
manipulator refuses to accept less than
$40. They wrangle for a minute, and final
ly the capper agrees and thrust his hand
into his trousers pocket in quest OF an
other bill.
This draws his attention for a moment,
long enough for the worker 10 deftly
push the shell al the other end OF the
row around 10 the side OF the one Sc
lected.
When the capper gets the other bill out
he places 1t in the hand of the operator
and picks up the she'll that has been
moved around. There Is nothing there.
Now Is the time that the shell pusher
gets In his fine work. "How about Sec
ond choice? Odds OF two TO one on Sec
ond choice" he shouts in his monotonous
voice.
"What audacityl" the crowd whispers
They all saw ii 60 under the shell which
was selected by the man who was Just
beaten by sleight OF hand. Most of them
have not taken their eyes of that partic-
ular shell since that time. They know
that 1t Is there.
Several voices are raised. The first bet
Is s5. This is refused by the operator.
The bettor offers to bet double that
amount. There is no chance TO lose,
he thinks, and he has got the gambler
dead to rights, he tells himself.
The outcome Is that the verdant bettor
places go or $50 in the gamblers hand,
raises the shell with triumphant express
sion, TO find there Is nothing there, and
to hear the worker murmur: "No, no,
no! That's not the one with the pea!'
