o.pAY ON NEW RULES

Henry O'Day, one of the National
League umpires, favors the new rules.
They are working fine" he said the
other day. The foul-strike measure
is good thing. When players first
made practice of trying to foul off
balls there were only two or three
who could do it. The next year there
were about a dozen. and this year
would have seen still more who were
adept at that trick. as players were In
the habit OF practicing such things in
the morning. AS to the pitcher not
warming up before the batter is in the
box, he has plenty of time to do IL
II he hurries. l think the rule pre-
venting batter from taking first base
when hit by pitched ball should
have been retained. Any expert batter
can get out of the way of pitched
ball If he wants to.
"The rule requiring the catcher to
play up behind the bat is good thing
for the umpire. Being close up also.
the umpire can tell better when a ball
that rolls close along the base line
is foul or fair, and on a slow hit bah
he can step out on the diamond and
be in better position to judge the
decision at first base than when he
stood back of the catcher Regarding
batting averages falling of under the
new rules, il the best hitters drop as
low as 800 there will still be some-
body to have the best average, so that
there will be good hitters just the
same. do not think there will be
as much kicking this year. For one
thing, the public does not want it,"

tain to prove attractive in contrast
to the more tedious games to which
the fans have been accustomed The
National Leaguers expect to see us
swamped under high salaries, they
say, but the circuit is enough strong
er to warrant the added expenses,
and there is another point to be re-
membered. Comiskey, for instance,
paid out nearly $4,000 last year for
protection and players under the Ma
tional agreement This mo ey went
to the magnates. This year It all goes
to the players in our League, and that
$4,000 will pay at least two star play
ers for the entire season"

will walk off with the pennant this

1869 at Nevada, Mo. He first began
playing in 1886 at Bloomington, Ill. II
was not until the following year. how

Within the next two months the
government will close out its bust
ness of educating Indians by contract,
and thenceforth will retain practical
ly the whole control and conduct Of
the matter. The change from the old
system to the new began in 1895, when
Congress passed law providing for
sectarian schools, the decrease being
twenty per cent each year. Mean
time, as the cutting off OF this aid de-
prived Indian boys and girls of the
privileges which they had enjoyed
for them in government schools, the
attendance in which has increased
from fourteen to twenty-five thous-
and, and is still growing at the rate
of a thousand a year. The next step
contemplated by the government Is a
measure of compulsory education for
young Indians. 1t is a pleasure to
note that Hampton Institute, being en-
tirely non-sectarian and performing
q service which would be hard to
duplicate will still receive certain
measure Of government assistance.
