Zimmer's Scheme to Increase
Batting by New Foul Lines.
More Territory for Hits Would
Improve Stick Work.
HAS HIT UPON A PLAN.
Would Have New Foul Lines
From Home to Fences.
To Cover So Much More OutflsId
Less Balls Are Caught.

Philadelphia, Jan. 11.-"Chief''
thinner, ex-manager of the Phillies
and former league umpire, has been
thinking of a scheme to improve bat
ting without abolishing the foul-strike
rule. He has hit upon a plan which
seems to solve the problem 1t is to
increase the territory of the felders
without increasing the length of the
base lines. In other words. the
'Chief' would have new foul lin IS
drawn from the home plate to the
fences. At the point where they
would pass first and third bases the
lines would be six feet distant from
the bases, gradually increasing the
distance from the present foul lines as
they neared the fences.
The territory which the fielders
would be required to cover would be
largely increased and. as a result
many a hit would go safe that under
the present conditions would be COB
bled UP. There is many a sizzling
grOunder goes down along the foul
line that Just strikes an inch or so
outside the line and all Of these would
be sure base hits.
Then, again. as nearly as followers
of the game know. few fly balls fall
safe in consequence of the improve
ment upon the part of the outfielders,
who in nearly every instance are ex-
ceeding1y swift upon their feet. IN
der Zimmer's plan the Outhelders
would have to cover so much more
ground that it would be impossible
it is only those that go over their
heads that are not nailed.
According to Zimmer's scheme the
bases are to be left as they are now.

HE KICKED FTTz,s LION.
Small BOY Not Scared at Attack by
PugiIist's Pet.

New York. Jan. 11.-Robert Fitz-
simmons. the pugilist, owns pet lion,
which, with a sweep of its paw, early
last night cut a cash over the eye of
Thomas Laughlin, IL years old, a
cleaners helper in the Olympic thea
ter. The boy was attended by an am
bulance surgeon, who sewed four
stitches in the wound.
Fitzsimmo ns appeared in the week
in a play in the Olympic. There, as
elsewhere where the pugilist had APP
peared the young lion, which is IL
months old and nearly as large as a
full grown st. Bernard, has had the
run of the space back Of the curtain
Young Laughlin was walking along a
wide passa geway in front of thesdress-
ing rooms and carrying a bundle of
papers. Theater attaches said the lion
thought the boy had food for him, it
being the time he usually is fed, and
made a lunge for the papers, not in
tending to injure the boy. At all
events, his paw swept across Laugh
Inns forehead and cut it oDen.
Laughlin was not frightened He
gave the limo a kick and called to
F'itzsimmons, who was in a nearby
dressing room. to lock his beast in a
cage. The pugilist caught the lion by
the neck and whipped him severely
and pushed him into his cage.
At the time the lion made the lunge
at the boy the former was with a lit
tie girl. 1t is said that both the boy
and girl thought the lion was a big
dog. The doctor said the boy was not
badly hurt

JIMMY THE RAT' WEALTHY.
Former Scissors Grinder Left Estate
Valued at $4,000.

Hartford. Conn, Jan. lit came
to light at a hearing in the probate
court, where there is a contest to
break the will of James Iacavone,
known as Jimmy the Rat" because
of his diTninutive size, that he left an
estate valued at $4,000.
He had been a scissors grinder in
his early days in this city, and used
to go from house to house, ringing a
bell. Then he went into a lodging
house business on the 10 cent basis.
Only q few days before his death he
made his will, leaving enough to his
widow to take care of her for life,
$500 to each of his two daughters, and
the bulk of the property he divided
among his four sons. The daughters
claim that their father was unduly in
huenced by his sons, and was so adj
dicted to the morphine habit and
drink that he did not know what he
was doing.

Chanute, Kan, Jan. ia meeting Of
the Chanute OIL Producers association
was held to discuss the advisability Of
stopping development and shutting
down production until the Standard Oil
company has a chance to dispose of the
immense stock of crude oil which is
now accommodating in tanks all over the
Kansas field.
Most of the big operators Of the field
were present and agreed to discontinue
further development of their holdings
for the present, and J. H. Crawford and
H. B. Scott were appointed members OF
a committee to visit all the other OPP
orators in the Kansas and Indian Ter
ritory field and endeavor to get them
to join in the action.
The embargo on drilling will be made
to apply only to the sinking of wells
in proven territory. NO attention viii
be paid to limiting the development OF
new territory, although the operators
recommend that no more wells be
drilled than are absolutely necessary.

Crack Western Jockey to Receive
$4,000 for Seasons Riding.

who will train for E. E. Smathers next
season, has engaged Eddie Dominick
to ride for him this year. Hildreth
will pay the jockey $4,000 for the
seasons work.
Dominick two years ago was con-
sidered the greatest jockey in the
west. He rode a number of winners
and was soon at the head of the list.
His speciality is handling 2-year-olds.
He has a knack of finding the early
speed in a youngster, and as he treats
the "babies'' kindly, he always man
ages to get them away from the bar
rier quickly. AS 2-year-old racing de-
ponds much on alertness at the post,
Dominick's value with the young
horse can readily be appreciated.
