BALk RULE A HANDICAP
Will Increase Base Stealing and Show
Up Against Pitcher

The most important point brought
Cut by the preseason games is the
handicap the balh rule is going to
prove to the pitchers this season. 1t
is going t. increase both base stealing
and hitting with men Gn the bases
To a marked degree. and handicap the
pitcher just that much. According to
the Interpretation Of the rule this sea
>on the pitcher cannot make move
of any kind customariIy used by HIM
in delivering a bail TO the batter with
a man Cn base unless he actually
is going to force not few f the
p CHEFS to change their style.
Last season the rule requlri the
pitcher to have both feet iii ffort at
the plate was strictly enforced and
here was a howl about this from
twrlers who were forced to change
their style of delivery. The enforce
ment of the balk rule. however is 60
ing to prove more of handicap than
the one in regard to the position of
=
up dCne by some of the pitchers With
men on base. and forces quick ami
snappy delivery. A preliminary
swing viii send base runner ha,f
way to second before the catcher can
get the ball, and a steal is then a
certainty. The pitcher is not even
allowed to turn his head toward first,
and he cannot watch the base runner.
This will prove much more efficient
this season owing to the ruling, as
they face first naturally.
The cutting out of the preliminary
motions will help Kill the speed and
make it easier for the batter to hit
safely with men in position to make
use Of the drive. The pitchers will
Of course. at once commence to
scheme to Outwit the rule in some
way. but ii will be a hard matter to
do this with a strict umpire in charge
of the games. The mi-professonal
and amateur teams will do we'll to let
the rule alone as it will do more to
prSmCte trouble than any rule in re-
cent years. 1t is going to cause
enough trouble in the major leagues
over tie rule, and the umpires of "lol
games Win have to go more heavily
armored and armed than ever before.

4 VAIL OF DESPAIR.
A Republican Organ Plays DfrRe
For Its Failing Party.

Those who followed the fortunes OF
the late Senator Hanna are divided
into two factions. The officeholders
are mostly climbing, with apparent
pleasure, on to the Roosevelt band
wagon, bat the great majority Of the
other faction take gloomy view OF
the Republican outlook. Many tnhuene
tial Republican newspapers voice this
fear of the future and are warning
their readers of the coming troubles,
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Is
one of them and some time ago ad-
vised its party that it was taking des-
perate chances in nominating Mr.
Roosevelt and its belief that crush
ing defeat would follow. The death Of
Senator Hanna at this juncture i.
views as another nail driven into the
Republican cGfin. but takes a calm
though resigned. survey Of the desper
ate condition of its party "H>. evident
ly sees hut little encouragement for
success in the coming campaign. It
says that with both Mckinley and
Hanna gone the party dangers are
York, Indiana. New Jersey, Connects.
cut, Illinois and Colorado as douhtfu'
states, "all important, absolutely c~
sental." for Republican success and
concludes with this cry Of despair: "a
weak candidate, with no Hanna to
help. can carry none Of them"
There is no doubt that q large num-
Der of tie Republican leaders feel
equally despondent with this sincere
and cutspoken organ Of the party.
The Republican party, having tied IT.
self to the trusts and corporations and
declining to enact legislation that the
great majority Of voters are clamortng
for to relieve them from high prices
and reduced incomes. has nothing to
offer In place Of the debasing CONNER
cialism that believes every man has
his price.
The Democrats have a glorious pros
pect OF success and their consistent
and persistent efforts for all essential
reforms which the voters are now de-
manding will, with the best candidates
that are available, lead to this most
desirable victory.

lcre was plenty of cheering to 60.
There is one noticeable IA "fe
about Pine Bluff crowd at pall
game that is not marked &.E"h'f'
else in the United 5 ates q America.
That crowd Will cheer Just as wildly
when a member Of Inc opposing Side
makes an error and when a home
player makes a '.ne run. It makes
absolutely no difference to the ioGdl
admirers of the game. Hen e the
crowd had six cheers coming on the
matter tf errors. and as each error
was responsible fca six or more runs,
the cheers were long and loud.
Smink, FATTY Smink. rival Of
"Windy" Plummer in the fat line,
contributed four times to the cheer
ing and each time cost Fatty
groan and the loss of ten pounds OF
flesh. When that game was. over,
Smink had lost an even forty pounds.
and this does not include what Man
ager Leidy said to him after the
game. Young Mr.. Helm of last years
fame, as an easy mark, came ir iCr
a contribution to the cheering and he
made a hapy combinati n with Smink.
Helm gave three bases on balls and
two of the men thus favored scored.
He hit one man and this man was so
ungrateful as to use this means OF
transportation to 50 all the way
around the circuit. Helm was also
kind in letting the locals hit the bail
once in while. and when they hit
the ball there was somebody N the
bases Just dying to come in. Mr..
Payne relieved Helm in the fifth af-

soft words To the pitcher ana MI

very we'll and When lie allowed one
of the slow inshoots To ,ake Cir @er

crate manner as much as to say he
IA man and the very first ball he threw
nearly broke one of Murphey- floating
ribs Payne did rifle better thaH
Helm, but the team behind him did
a trife worse than bof He he Went in.
After tGe agony was over and the sums
had all been corr ectly solved out by
the score boy. e,he I<umbermen had
ten runs to their credit
Too much cannot be said about the
good work Of Vernuelli who worked
from the bender tank for the l.um
bermen Vernuelli had plenty of speed
and good benders, but the thing he
used most in winning that game was
his head He also worked hard in
the field. and this encouraged every
player behind him to do his best.
