ing of That GIngery Va
rlety.

All hope of seeing American League
games Ia this city played at National
Park upon the clubs return from its
months trip, has vanished. 1t was def
nitely decided yesterday TO abandon
further efforts 10 that end.
Wilton j Lambert, the clubs attor-
ney, made a strong aght to bring the di-
rectors of the Washington Club and the
owners OF the property together on
terms. but the former could not see It
that way The terms OF the lease were
SO one-sided that not q Ioophole was
left the stockholders TO protect them
selves at-the expiration of three years
should the owners decide TO sell or i'm
prove The park.
1t is greatly to be regretted that the
deal did not 90 through. since i is q
long journey TO American Park. and the
street car facilities are far from sat
isfactory. Apparently no provision is
made for the crowd going to the games.
Large crowds assemble at the corners,
only 70 see the ears 90 scudding by load
ed down TO the springs. and even these
pass at long intervals. and the greater
portion Of the fans arrive at the grounds
after the game has started.

baseball circles as ''bow-wow'' or bull

CONNOLLY COMMENDED
BY VETERAN UMPIRE
IL snartinr 80 d - -:

To the Sporting Editor Of The Times:
Umpire Connolly made a decision yes
terday which was mystery to the
bleacherites-
man was on first. The batter hit q
ball to the FIRST baseman. who fielded it.
and as the batter was rapidly getting 10
first, the bag was touched, and the
ball thrown to second. The player or
second. stood on the sack when ne re-
ceived the ball. but did not touch the
runner. who was called safe.
The decision comes under section y
Of rule 81 The man on first. as soon as
the batter was out. was entitled to
either base, being no longer forced, and
10 be put out must be touched by the
ball. II was in effect the same as though
the batter had been touched by the
bali between home and first; in that
case the man on a.st could hold it. or
he could make second, II not touched By
the bali
II is rare play, which accounts for
the nystifea5ion Of those not up on the
rules. and a compliment to the umDire's
knowledge of them.
