BASE BALL HAS NOT
IMPROVED, SAYS HURST

Timothy Carroll Hurst, back in Empirical
regalia and showing shape not unlike the
rear end of hack, has already started in

with his return to the diamond world linn
tied to but fortnight, says the st. Louis
Star.
Friday Joe Sugden. while walking past
Tim along toward the end of the game,
remarked:

they need some good judges. Judging by

According to Hurst base ball Is no faster
than 1t was in the long ago. Harry Howell
was with Sir Timothy when he remarked
that the shows of today weren't as spectac-
ular interesting as they were back
in the early 'o0s.
Right you are. Tim" replied Happy
Harry. They don't play the inside article

out of the game you hurt 1t
That's my comment" said the member
from Ashland. Look at what Hoffman did
in your game Saturday With the bases
full and three balls on him and no strikes
he stood stock still like a dummy and let
you put two right in the groove. 1t was all
right for him to take one strike, but why
get himself into the hole? full house,
tie score and three balls and one strike?
Whew! What better place could a batter
want to hit the ball with all his might and
become hero?
"Old Del or Mike Kelly or Buck Ewing or
any of those old fellows would have smash
ed the daylights out of those straight ones
you were diShing up. But Hoffman was
playing the 1905 article l guess, and was
acting under instructions when he let two
balls go by that an amateur would have
soused. Then he swung and missed and ia
ia to the game.
It's certainly high-class ball they ares
playing, but | don't think the spectators
get big run for their coin they used
to- In the past three seasons I've seen many
a dozen games of ball, but I've yet to

Aleer used to pull off at regular intervals.
And that inside gag-slapping the ball
through first base? No, sir. that's a dead

The foul strike has given the pitcher the
whip hand, too much so, l think Here's
how l would rectify that measure If the
rules committee would ask me for tip:
Scratch out calling foul tips strikes.
That would cut the penalty on the batsman
in about half and give him show. Now

The building of new synagogue by the

New Building Preferred.
For reasons set forth by Rabbi Loeb the
proposed plan for the enlargement and re-
modelling OF the old synagogue at 9th and
streets was abandoned One of his rea-
sons was the smallness of the site. Another
was that the rumbling of the electric cars
that are constantly passing the building and
other noises of the street disturbed the re-
ligious worship.
Accordingly the building committee cast
about to find larger and better site, wi'n
the result that the ground at 9th and l
streets was eventually purchased, and soon
the work of razing the frame buildings
thereon will begin.
The Adath-Israel Is said to be the oldest
orthodox Hebrew congregation In the DIS

C0UNCILMEN ARE ALL TARDY
President Summerland Fails to Attend
Meeting and Blanchard Is Elected
Chairman

Theodore Summerland and his big
stick" We're missing from the city hall
yesterday morning, and as conse-
quence the council was nearly an hour
late in getting down to business. The
president of the council is nearly all
ways on hand before 10 o'clock Monday
morning, and if there is not a quorum
of the council in sight he sends the
members of his cabinet" composed
chiefly of representatives Of the press,
in every direction to hustle the tardy
members into court. Under this plan
it sometimes happens that the coun-
ell meets on time.
On account of the absence of Presi-
dent Summerland and the illness of
Councilman Harmon, who usually oc-
cupies the chair in Summerland's abb
sence, there was no designated head of
the council and consequently no one
to use the big stick" Houghton was
nearly forty-fiVe minutes late, and as
there are only six councilmen aVaila-
BILE, his tardiness was chiefly responsi-
BILE for the delay. When the council
finally got together Councilman Blanch-
ard was elected chairman.
There was a strong sentiment in
favor of Houghton for the place, not
because 1t was believed he would grace
the chair any more than Blanchard
but it was declared that as chairman
he would have TO let the others talk
instead of doing most of 1t himself as
is usually the case.

WILL DELAY LIGHTING SCHEME
Council Will Postpone Action on Orna-
mental Lamps Until End of
Fiscal Year

The protest of Assessor Evan Lewis
against the East Ninth street lights
was referred to the light committee by
the city council yesterday.
This is the first stumbling block that
the city has thrown in the way of any
propositions for ornamental lamp posts
that have come before it, and was done
on the advice of Councilman Smith,
chairman of the finance committee. who
is desirous of holding up further i'm
provements in this direction until after
the beginning of the next fiscal year.
1t will probably be the plan of the
light committee, which meets only at
the call of the chairman, to postpone
action on the protest until it is as
sured that the money for the light,
which the city will have to furnish,
does not come out of this years dwin-
ding allowance.
Councilman Smith state that Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh, Figueroa and Adams
street property owners had approached
him with propositions to light their
streets with the ornamental lamp posts.
but he had cautioned them to wait until
after the beginning of next year, when
there would be more money available
for the purpose.

LIBRARY MUST
CO Or PAY RENT
COUNCIL COMES TO FINAL
DECISION
Chairman Smith Of Finance Committee
Submits Plsn--Wlll Cost lnstl-
tuition 5000 Per Month
to Stay
I'VE need the money. "

I'VE need the money"
This slogan which the members Of
the council have adopted as an excuse
for nearly every action since a pro.
Vlsional deficit has IN ade itself known,
was the reason given by the city coun
Gil yesterday for "A second suggestion
70 the library board that that depart
ment move out Of the third floor Of the
city hall by the first Of the year or
pay the city 5000 month rent for the
quarters II now occupies.
The alternative of paying rent is a
new feature and was yesterday sug-
gested by Councilman Smith, chair
man Of the finance committee. About
a month ago when the library board
made known its decision to ask the
council to furnish 1t more commodious
quarters outside of the city hall, the
council checknated this move by or
dering the library to move out by the
first of the year and furnish its own
quarters. Immediately afterward the
council went on the Owens river junket
and gave the library officials time to
digest the order.
Two weeks ago Librarian Lummis
appeared before the council with a
voluminous array of statistics, calcu
lated to show cause why the library
should continue to occupy its quarters
at the expense of the city.
Council Approves Report
Councilman Smith was not at the
meeting and the case was referred to
the finance committee with power to
act. Mr.. Smiths suggestion that the
library either move out or pay $500 a
month rent was the result of the in
vestigation by his committee
"The library has $65,000 this year."
said Councilman Smith, (which is
more than any other department of the
city. When the amendment, giving the
library the increased appropriation was
voted, 1 believe it was the intention of
the tax payers that that department
should take care of itself and pay its
own rent as well as other expenses. In
consultation with the city attorney I
find that there is no legal reason why
we should furnish quarters for the
library and should we need the money
the library should be compelled to
vacate or pay rent to the city.
1--WE now are paying about 500 for
offices outside of the city hall, and we
could easily accommodate these outside
offices in the third floor. With the
library out of the building we can save
this money.
1--WE have already asked the library
directors to vacate, but they have
made no move in this direction. If
the council approves this report of the
finance committee, let the case be
finally settled"
The council unanimously approved
