and that all the kicking in the world will
not change matters. These disgraceful
demonstrations have occurred a number of
times in Chicago, but the management of
the various tracks knowing on what an I'M
certain basis the racing is conducted in
Illinois were rather loath to take any action
against disgruntled and loud-mouthed los
ers. preferring to pacify them as best they
could without forcible ejectment. Most of
these kickers are new hands at the game.
The minute an angry mob surrounds a

off the ground and barred for good Men
of this character are a menace TO good

DICTATORIAL POLICY.

The American Baseball League again has
assumed dictatorial policy that will be sure
to cause strained relations with the Ma
tional League. Past history has taught
that Ban Johnson Is not satisfied unless
he is stirring up some kind of strife in
baseball, and as long as he has his own
way or imagines that he can make his
bluffs go through without being called,
he will continue to try to boss the whole
outfit. Johnson's organization, the Amer
lean League. at the meeting last week, in
Chicago. voted unanimously to rescind the
foul strike rule and there is no telling just
what else was done toward causing strained
relations that was not given to the public.
The National League voted for the foul
strike rule at its meeting in New York the
week previous. AS a matter of compro-
mise, the Americans have suggested that
the first foul be called a strike instead of
the first two, fouls being strikes. After
resembling the rule, the proposed compro-
mise seems TO show that the American is
not altogether sure of its stand, but it
cares little whether 1t offends the National
or not. Max Fleischmann, of the Cincin-
natl Club, a member OF the National
Leagues rule committee. says he will go
to the meeting with the American Leagues
rule committee fully prepared to support
the foul-strike rule, and he has no idea
that II will be abolished.
When the committees of the two leagues
met about year ago and buried the
Ratchet. 1T was agreed among other things
that there should be uniform rules. The
National had been playing under the foul
strike rule and the American under the old
rules. Many baseball writer's In American
League cities raised terrible howl against
the foul strike rule. but as the playing
season advanced, they were forced TO adj
NIT that the rule had it's advantages Now
the American wants to abolish it force
the National into silly compromise The
American wants its own way and has come
very near having II on many occasions,
but il is time for the National to uphold
its principles and show that il still has a
voice in baseball matters.
Maybe Ban Johnson has an Interior mo-
tive in desiring to abolish the rule. He
may be using 1t as means to cause
trouble between the two major organiza-
tons in the hope of gaining some end he
has in view. The National had better be on
the lookout or the Johnson man will spring
a surprise.

HYPNOTISM FAILS
IN PRIZE FIGHTS

at have often wondered" said Jack
O'Brien to a Chicago reporter the other
day, eff a hypnotist couldn't eventually be-
come the champion of the world. Imagine
the things a genuine hypnotist could do
with his Adversary He could make him
imagine that he was swinging his right
when he was simply standing still. and the
easiest trick of all would be to make him
believe that he had been knocked down for
the count Of ten. The possibilities are really
wonderful, but. somehow or other, l have
never seen any hypnotists get busy with
the gloves
when was in England a year so ago
I got very friendly with gentleman who
believes himself to be hypnotist of great
ability. He claimed to charm people by
the powers of his eye. One night he and
land many others-were in the big room
of a hosiery. Across the room was sitting
a typical farmer of the shires-a thick
headed, dull-witted rube, with his mug Of
arf-and-arf before him.

large, luminous gaze upon the farmer. The
rustic figeted uneasily, then seemed to sink
into sort of spell. He gazed straight into
the eyes Of my friend, and / saw with alb
solute establishment that he was appar-
emily completely overcome by the mesmeric
power. Slowly he rose from his chair, still
keeping his eyes on the great burning orbs
of my friend. He came straight across to
our table, drew back a fist about as large
as melon, and then, with furious howl

JEFFRIES AND MUNROE.

Champion James Jeffries is evidently be-
coming tired of the stage and wants to en-
gage in another battle. He has often said
he was not satisfied appearing before the
footlights and only felt at home when he
was in ring with good opponent. The
likely opponents for Jeffries very few.
and no one realizes the fact more than the
champion. In order to arrange battle he
has promised Jack Monroe that he will give
him a match for twenty rounds, providing
Munroe will fight Gus Rubin and defeat
him. Munroe is willing and so is Rubin,
and the fight news may contain a story be-
fore long stating that Rubin and Munroe
have been matched for battle. Munroe's
easy victory over Al Limerick in Boston
caused the critics TO ask Jeffries IL he would
meet the Montana miner. In the battle
with Limerick Munreo demonstrated that
he possesses pretty good punch, and East
ern critics say that he is rapidly improving
in fstic science.

MANY WAYS TO PUT
OUT 4 BALL PLAYER

A baseball authority lately figured up
the chances there are in the game for a
player of the batting team to be put out.
The result will perhaps surprise the average
fan who has never tried to figure it, The
list of twenty-five distinct ways is fol-
lows:
The batsman can be put out by a fly catch
of fair ball. He can be put out by
similar catch of a foul ball. He can be put
out on three called strikes. He can be
put out by stepping outside of his position
to strike at a ball. He can be put out for
hindering the catcher from fielding ball
He can be put out by his bat accidentally
batting the ball to fair ground. The bats
man can be put out on called strikes after
two foul strikes are called, as follows:
BY the catching of q foul or fly ball. By
the bunting of the ball to foul ground. By
striking at ball which touches his person.
By standing outside the lines Of his posi-
ton, and therefore not ready to strike at
the ball when fair ball is delivered to the
bat. As a base-runner the batsman can be
put out as follows: By running off the path
way from home plate TO first. By being
hit by a fairly batted ball while base-run-
ner. BY falling to touch first base after a
fair hit, before the ball, in the hands Of a
Heiuer, Is nelu tnere RUNNING Deyonu thc
three-foot boundary toward the ball in the
hands of a fielder who is standing on the
base line By failing 10 return before being
touched out by the ball player, after run
ming past first base and then going off foul
ground By standing in the way OF fielder
trying to catch fly ball or to field a
thrown ball. BY failing to return to the
base he occupied after a fly catch. before
the ball Is held on said base by a fielder.
By a force-out resulting from a fair hit
while occupying first base. For leaving the
base he occupied when a fair ball is caught
before the catch has been completed. By
| being touched by fielder after overrunning
| a base-other than first-before he can get
| back and touch the base. BY his being

GRIFFITHS GOOD Arm
SAVED HIS LIFE

II have passed through most exciting
experience" said Clark Griffith to a Chicago
Journal man, last week, land am glad
to be still alive and able to tell about it,
1 am firmly convinced that baseball, and
especially pitching, is the grandest thing
that ever happened. Had 1t not been for
my knowledge OF the pitchers art would

friends would also be dead men.
With half a dozen good fellows / was
hunting in the Bitter Root mountains a few
days ago. The snow was very deep, and
we could hardly make our way along the
crags. Finding a spot where there was a
little shelter, under the lee Of a rock, we
all sat down around a cheerful campfire
and began TO skin an elk had been carry

HIGH BALL SALARIES
ARE BUT MEMORIES
Baseball Magnate Is a Real Mag
nate Now-Player No Longer
RelgnS.

Bargain-counter baseball is with us, says
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
In place of the whole thing, all wool and
a yard wide. behold the paltry remnant.
The shining light of two years ago, his
effulgence would make a sulphur match
flame giggle. and the $4,000 arm Of yester-
day is now marked down to $1,000.
Magnates will not even bid for a ball
player. Yes. they bid him wait until next
spring, when they may perhaps think about
Offering him $1,000 or so where he got $500
last year.
Drop in and see me-" says the COM
placent magnate, cordially. "along about
April. Perhaps 1 can find a place for you
on my team IL you happen to be hungry"
Perhaps he may have a job for the ball
player; perhaps he may not Certainly he
will have no advance money-can't think of
it, Would like to do better, he would, but
things are so changed. don't you know?
Can 1t be the same magnate Of last year
the cringing fellow who followed the ball
player all over the country with letter and
telegram begging him at any cost to sign
with him and Offering him as much lad
vance" as he will get salary this year?
1t seems TO be him; the features are the
same, but the beseeching look is gone. In
its stead is that confident stare which you
have perhaps seen on the face Of the furni-
ture man, to whom you have owed money
for some months. when he catches you
drawing your weeks salary. In other
words, the magnates feel that they have
the ball player where he cannot turn away
without putting himself In a worse plight
than he now is.
But then it is turn and turn in the base
ball world. One cannot always be hired or
a salary and get away with the dividends
of the company at the same time.
The time when the magnates eat sponge
cake is at hand
