YOUNG DEFENDS dhPIREs
The President of the League Has
Confidence i'm Hurst.
Claims That Ba seball Writer'S Are
Too Free in Giving Instructions
to Members of His Staff.

President N. E. Young has taken up
the Pittsburg case. After the riot fol-
lowing Tim Hurst's alleged biased work
in favor OF Baltimore, some hot messages
were sent TO Washington. Here is one
reply of the little president:
THE height OF my earthly ambition in
baseball is to have everything perfectly
honest. II l thought that there was a
crooked hair in Mr.. Hursts head l would
dismiss hun at once, but have perfectcon-
fidence in hisintegrity. They will all make
mistakes, but in the long run they VIII
even up. The truth is, the umpire with
skill and educated eye is twenty times more
likely to he tight than excited spectators.
He gives everything just exactly as he sees
it. | was ten years an umpire myself, and
have been called thief ana robber by the
excited crowd, and know just how little
truth there is in such charges.
II have had two officials OF one of our
leading clubs writing me the same evening,
one commencing the umpire's work and
the other asking his removal, and both
bright, square, experienced baseball men.
II l had removed every umpire against
whom protests have been entered, would
just have one OF my original six uinplres
on the field today. Where can l fill their
places? And what would become of our
national game? | am the only friend they
have. If / didn't fight for them ] couldn't
hold them intact Il week, even IL they were
the best on earth. l have yet TO receive d
protest from baseball manager who had
ever offiCiated as a regular umpire.
"One of the greatest baseball writer's
unpircs how to umpire, was induced one
day, in the absence of the regular umpire,
to umpire the game, and the worst scorch-
ing he ever gave an umpire he gave him
self. From that day to the day OF his death
he stood up manfully right or wrong-for
tie despised umpire II every newspaper
baseball writer would umpire just one
close. hard game, and have the many pleas
ant little names whispered in his ear that
the umpires are obliged TO listen 10, II
would come pretty nearly settling the
whole umpire question
The public takes It's cue largely from
the published reports and they 20 pre-
pared To hiss the umpire If they have the
slightest chance. What better proof can
you have for an umpirc's honesty than
the fact that he gives II close decision
against the home CT ub, blt wouldn't keep

DR.. McJames failed to diagnose the case
afternoon in TWO innings the first and the
last and gave them an overdose of base
hits and bases on balls, which resulted in a
complete recovery OF the Ansonian argre

Nautilus Eggs.

The youngest STUDENT of geology or fossil

perhaps he does not know that the only
living representative of the very large
family Of ammonites is the pearly nau-
titus. an interesting creature allied to the
cuttlefish. about the growth of which in
its younger stages hitherto little has been
known.
In order to study the subject completely,

and by the construction Of a submarine

were fed daily, number of eggs had been
secured.
Each egg is as large as a grape, and is
deposited separately. 1t Is necessary. in

Grease on the Wheels.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.


An employe of the Consolidated Traction
company and a former motorman on the
branch Of the companys lines on which
the accident occurred last night said the
disaster was something he had been
looking for for some time. and that others
would probably follow. He said:
Il have motored on that line, and know
just how the accident was caused. The
company on the branch Of this road is
using the electric brake. This kind of a
brake acts directly on the axle of the car.
The old mandrake acts on the rim of the
wheel. 1t Is well known that the brake
Is almost always on, even though 1t be
just enough to keep the car under control.
This makes the rim of the wheel so warm
that one cannot place his hand on 1t with
out being buried.
Now, the con pany has an employee
walking along the car tracks putting
grease on the curves to lessen the friction
of the car wheels on the rails. The old
mandrake kept the wheels hot and the
grease was kept burnt off at all times.
Since the advent of the electric brake the
car wheels have no heat and the grease ac-
cumulates on the wheels and always gives
trouble on grades. The runaway car last
night was heavily loaded. and as a result
OF tie grease and the extra weight the
car got away from the motorman and went
Skating down the tracks. / look for more
accidents froms the same cause"
