BASE BALL SLANG.
How the National Games Vocabulary
Is Abused.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The technique Of a science Is always the
despair of the uninitiated. which accounts
for the fact that scientific works are not
sought for with 80 much avidity as
rou.ances and novels. Sometimes poetry
has q technique, as in the case Of Brown
ing's "Sordello," which made Douglas Jer-
rold suspicious that he might be losing his
mind because he could not understand 1t.
Philosophy also has its technique, as In
the case Of Nietzches "Zarathustra," and
even music, as when Richard Strauss at
tempted to tell what Zarathustra said, in
musical notation.
special vocabulary grows technical. as 1t is
sure to repel those who are not profess
sional students from making acquaintance
with the philosophy, or science. or poetry
to which 1t belongs. Until recently popular
amusemsnts have been comparatively free
from technical jargon. The vocabulary Of
tennis and ping-pong, croquet and cricket
can be easily learned. Foot ball is a little
moro difficult, but in one season the Ian
guage Of the gridiron can be mastered.
The technique of golf Is perplexing. and yet
a careful observer can achieve 1t in one
season. and once mastered 1t is for good.
because Its vocabulary remains unchanged.
Nothing Is added to or taken away from 1t.
When 1t comes to the national game the
case Is different. The vocabulary Of base
bali is not only perplexing from the official
feast" New and strange terms are con-
tinually added until the language of the
diamond has become as aggravating and as
confused as that at the building of the
tower of Babel. For instance, a profess
sional game was played in New York the
other day. The New York Press ordinarily
employs Ineligible English and Is purist
In style. And yet we are told that Strang,
Brooklyn player, stabbed for a station
and purloined a perch" The other per-
formances Of Strang are equally extra
ordinary. "a marvellous heave to the neat
after swallowing Sheckards starseeker''
held him on third, but he finally scored ION
dazzling double" by Dobbs. After achiev-
ing this feat, Dobbs was "nabbed on
Doyle's dancer. the locust litter roostinx on
the choice" whatever that may mean,
There were other noteworthy incidents in
this game. "Gessler patted the pan while
the 1elders were busy with the hickory
hefter." Schmidt trained q CLASSY eve on
Currie and feazed the slabmaster for a
mock" Jordan 'Jotted on Strang's bunt."
and Dobbs, who had made the dazzling
double" was IAN easy victim for the
twistmeister." When to the generally ac-
cepted jargon Of base ball such literary
gcrgeousness'' as this Is added, 1t is little
wonder that there are tough old FANS on
the ''bleachers" who do not yet understand
the game thoroughly and disagree 80 clam
orously and at times 80 violently with the
umpire.

OPPOSITION TO WARNOCK.
BeIlefontaine Post Office Case May Lose

Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio, September ~
Representative Warnock of the eighth Ohio

stituents and is in trouble that threatens to
lose him the denomination. 1t is all. or
mainly, due to the death Of Postmaster
Roach of this city.

renominatio and this was particularly so
to Judge Warnock who tried to prolong his
European tour in hope that the factions
would come to some understanding. But
he could not remain all winter, and had to
face the issue. Influential citizens urged
the appointment of Postmaster RoachS
widow; the Bellefontaine members OF the
county central committee recommended
James Fulton, an old soldier. and newspa-
pers in the county notified Judge Warnock
that Fulton was the man, and, II you are
wise in your generation and onto your job

Judge Warnock. lives in another county and
would have to fight for the Logan county
delegation anyway. So he disregarded the
committee recommendation and named Edi-
tor J. O. A. Campbell of the Bellefontaine
The next day after this announcement an
inspired story was sent out from Bellefon-
tame that Judge Warnock had declared his
intention not to stand for renominatio
that he was tired Of the factional bicker-
ings In the district, particularly in Logan
county; that he had four farms and other
investments besides being president Of a
bank. and didn't need the job; that he had
disregarded both factions and named man

sequences would have to take care of them

for denomination. However. the Bellefon-
tame post office case will result In opposi-

counties of the district will take advantage
Of the opportunity to shy few favorite
sons into the arena.
Judge Warnocks chief opponent will be
Judge Duncan Dow Of Bellefontaine, who
will carry the strength Of Logan county
into the convention. Favorite sons so far
reported are +. b. Willis of Oda, Hardin
