Where EMPIRES Disagreed.

A great many times this year the
umpires have disagreed on a plan, and
the wrangling which is sure to come
over an unfavorable decision has been
increased two-fold. In Chicago, when
Comiskey tried to work off some tai
lored balls on the Highlanders. the
umpires disagreed as TO what consti-
tuted a proper playing sphere, and in
the end the controversy was decided
by Sheridan, who was assistant UNI
pire, throwing back the undoubtedly
poor balls. although the rule did not
specifically grant him the power to
do so.
AS the rule stands now the assistant
umpire has to let go by decisions which
he knows are absolutely unjust, or else
go beyond the authority which is spe-
officially granted to him. The result
is unnecessary confusion in games
where there is more than one officiat-
ing umpire. The rule might be
changed so as either to give the as
sistant umpire broader but specifically
defined duties or to give him a po-
Sition, such as the linesman of a foot
ball game holds to the umpire, to as
sist and suggest in decisions which the
umpire himself cannot see distinctly.

TWO UMPIRES A
POOR SYSTEM
Is the Opinion of Those Who Have
Followed the Game.
FAIR TRIAL THIS SEASON
ARBITERs' DECISIONS ARE FIRE.
oUENTLY GIVEN DIFFERENTLY.
Especial Sporting service.)

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The double-umpire
system, which was originated for the
purpose of assuring the players an I'M
usual safeguard against inability of the
arbiters to see the true merits of close
plays, does not seem TO be working in
a manner entirely beyond reproach. In
spite Of the system of double umpiring
which has been used almost exclusive
y THIS season there have been many
and such justly founded complaints
against the arbiters decisions this
year. Fully half of them have been
made in games where there have been
two men 10 match the plays. This, of
course. may be placed to some extent
against the individuality of the UNI
pires, but it seems that a more even
distribution of functions between the
Two umpireS, or more particular rule
would make both umpires more useful
In deciding very close plays.
What the Rule Says.
The only mention in the rule book Of
the divided functions Of two umpires
in the same game is rule "A. which
reads as follows:
If two umpires be assigned 10 &
game, the assistant umpire shall de-
eide all plays at first and second
bases" If this is taken as closely
bounding the function of the second
UMPIRE ne uOeS not nave enough TO do.
Two out of three times he can see
what goes on at third base and what
occurs in the outfieId, for instance.
whether an outfieldere gets a low fly
before it strikes the ground or not
much more plainly than the head ar
bitter behind the home plate. For in
stance, in the to game which Pitts
burg took from the Giants, Gilbert
safely stole third Klein, who was as
sistant umpire that day and was
near third base, could easily see that
he had not been touched, and declared
him safe. It was Johnson's decision,
however, and he from behind the home
plate declared Gilbert out. 1t was I'M
doubtedly Johnstone's decision, but the
fact that KLEIN even ventured an opIn-
ion shows how little understood is the
distribution OF powers; and the umpires
themselves do not believe that this rule
entirely covers any case that might
arise.

SchlaG-ruthe, striking rod-into the
Cornish Celtic or Middle English
On. E., duschen-to strike or falD,
when the German miners were brought
over to Cornwall in the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth. 1t was they who
doubtless introduced the use of the
rod into England for prospecting the.
mines of Cornwall and Somerset
Nearly 100 years later it was used for
finding underground water in SOmer-
set, where a domestic water supply
is in many places most difficult to OBJ
tain, owing to the nature of the sec
ondary rock formation there; the
water existing in assures or hollows
and not in large beds, as 1t does in
many other places.
The next question was, What was
The function of the dow3ing Or divin-
ing r)d? This is of ust simply as
an index of an unconscious muscular
spasm which occurs in the dowser
when he l.: in the neighborhood of un-
derground water, metallic ore, or any
other object for which he is accus-
toned to search by means of the rod.
Hence many dOwsers DO not use rod
at all, trusting entirely to the sensa
tiOns they experience These sensa
tiOns often produce a serious malaise
on the part of the dowser when at the
object of his search. For two CEN
turies dowsers in all countries have
asserted the Existence of this n1alaise.
What, then, gives rise to the spasm
and twisting of the rod? Is 1t
physical force like electricity? Nearly
all the OWNERS OR dowsers them
selves say it is electricity, just as they
would explain boiler explosions, or
anything out of the common, by cleo
tricity. To set this question at rest,
l made a series of experiments on in
sulated and uninsulated dowsers, and
found that whenever the dowser
thought he was insulated the rod
would not work. and vice versa.
though, as matter of fact, l had, un-
known to the dowser, reversed mat

ters-that is. he was in conducting
communication with the earth when
he imagined he was insulated, and was
insulated when he thought he was not.
After much tedious investigation and
experiment l came to the conclusion
that the motion of the rod in a gen.
uine and successful dOwser is due to
Involuntary muscular motion on his
part and that the stimulus which ex-
cites this motion is a reflex action,
like that which excites sneezing, hic-
cough, blushing, or palor.
The issue was, therefore, narrowed
down to the origin of this nervous
stimulus Further inquiry showed
that it is due either to (a) a sub
conscious detection Of surface signs of
underground water, which would link
the phenomena of the divining rod on
to other well-known psychological and
physiological phenomena; or (b) it
is sometimes resembling the unex-
planned instinct of many homing birds
and animals; in fact, something new
to official science, resembling what is
called "lucidity" or "clairvoyance."

pigs coming, and erecting the hair on
Long before he reached them they got
his scent, and "whoofng" disgustedly,
they ran back on their own trail. They
did not go far, however, but, coming
to a fork in the tracks, turned and
again headed for the feeding ground,
over the very route l had expected TO
see them on in the first place. 1 felt
sure they would not pass the point at
which l had crossed this trail, but l
waited to see what they would do.
On came the boar. two little gray
pigs leading, followed by a large one,
almost black, possibly their mother,
and behind her there were half dozen
more of different sizes. They soon
smelt the coyote, and saw him, too,
for that matter, but after hating for
about minute they seemed to decide
that there was nothing very dangerous
about him, and proceeded on their
way
Almost before he knew it the first
little pig ran into my trail, and he
stopped SO quickly that he almest fell
backward over. With wild "whooG"
Of disgust and fear, he turned and
ran, the others following his example
on the instant Then he seemed to
change his mind. and the whole party
stopped, while the first little pig ad-
vanced, as though to make sure there
was no mistake. AS he reached the
cross trail, he turned back as before,
but, again changing his mind, he
seemd to make desperate resolve.
He decided to take the risk, and.
gathering all his strength, he dashed
wildly over the hated spot, and sped
away toward the feeding grounds as
madly as sped the pigs which ran
down a steep place into the sea.
All this time the coyote had been
but an interesting spectator, but now,
seeing the little pig isolated, as it were,
he jumped into the trail and started
after it at the top of his speed. For
a moment both pig and wolf were lost
to sight, but then we heard rushing
sound, and along the trail came the
coyote, running for his life, with the
little gray boar right close behind him.
AS the wolf drew near me, he bOlted
the track, and the pig kept straight on
the trail until he joined his compan-
ions, when the whole herd turned and
dashed off, grunting and squealing,
into the forest.
