I can find in the books only sixteen in
stances Of attempts to make the squeeze
play" and Of these eleven were successful
and five failures. In four Of these five fail,
ures the batter missed the ball, and in the
other the bunt went straight to the pitch
err who threw out the runner at the plate
and the appended note says that the pitch
ers feat was marvellous one.

Among other things. I looked up the
chances Of a man scoring when he reaches
different bases In these games 1913 men
reached first base by hits errors, being hit,
or bases on balls, or fielders' choices, or an
average of about 211k to the game OF these
2,1O6 reached second, 1911 reached third
and 974 scored. 1t always had seemed to
me until then that about half the base run
ners got left at third, but when there are
fewer than 400 left there in 1856 games 1t
seems that the idea is fallacious one.
i
In these games there were 164 runners
who reached third with two out, and of
these only thirty-seven scored. or about one
in five. OF those who reached third with
one out-there were ninety-eight Of them
fifty-two reached the plate, and Of the for
ty-three who reached third with none out
thirty-one scored, the others being cut on
OF the 1873 who tried to score from sec
ond on base hits only twenty-five were
caught at the plate, or about one in seven.
The chances Of advancing a runner from
first to second base on the hit to right field
game is far less, according to these figures,
than by the sacrifice hit game. and in the
long run the attempt to hit the ball through
the infield does not pay. Out OF fifty-eight
cases Of attempts to advance a runner by
slashing into the ball, thirty-four were sue
cessful, which on the face Of 1t would
make 1t seem that the play was a good
one. The play only is counted when made
with none out But, ontthe other hand, 1t
resulted in all double plays and in the other
cases the runner was forced at second base.
The double plays destroyed the advantage
gained by the fourteen clean base hits that
were made.
When a fly ball goes to the outfleld the
chances are 320-to that It will be caught,
SO don't worry when the fielder is standing
under the ball. The odds are all in his
favor.

The chances of a man being placed I a
position to sacrifice are pretty large for
approximately one in every twenty-four
men who went to bat or, rather, faced the
pitcher, tried to sacrifice. There were $50
sacrifice hits made in the games counted,
which is an average of 3 II per game. This
average approximately is right, 1 should
judge, as it includes the games of the old
Chicago. National League team under An
son, that seldom used the sacrifice, and
Chicago team under Comiskey carries the
sacrifice hit game to it's Nth power.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-08-21

Perhaps the most striking and startling
figures resulting from the investigation are
those on stolen bases and attempts to steal.
In the 1876 games 1.O67 men tried to steal
bases, an average Of about six to the game
or a little under that. OF those 800 tried
to steal second base and 273 tried to steal
third, while twelve tried to steal home The
runner gets the easier 1t is to steal as eight
Of the IL who tried to steal home succeeded.
These figures, however. are fallacious, as
the steal Of home usually Is by some bril-
sudden dash when the pitcher is asleep.

It is always a pleasure to commend
the acts Of a good public servant,
Prof. Ladd of this state in his Wig
orous enforcement of the pure
food and other similar laws under
his jurisdiction has made a nation
al reputation for himself. This
reputation he has justly earned. In
entering upon his duties he saw
but one thing ahead of him-the
enforcement, Interpretation and
application of the law without dis
elimination, and without hesita-
ton. In enforcing and applying
the law, "all look alike to him." 1t
will be noted, too, that he has been
doing business lat the old stand"
all the time and has not stopped
for a moment to try to persuade
himself that he is a great man. In
this case the man exactly fits the
Office, and fills it to OVERLOOKING.
Ladd isn't pulled up with his own
Importance, he is only a good pub

EARLY TRADING POST
ABOVE TT. BERTGOLD.

F., Bismarck Tribune:-Some time
ago an inquiry come from the Trib-
une's Washington, encyclopedia,
Charley Gurley, regarding old Fort
Atkieson-wanted to know where
and when such a post was estab-
lished. Old timers around Bismark
had never heard of such a post, but
inquiry Of Joe Taylor at Washburn
the author of Frontier and Indian
Life" Beavers and Their Ways"
and other sketches, brings the fol-
lowing response
"There we're two Fort Atkinsons
on the Missouri, The first was a
kind of military cantonment estab-
lished about fifteen miles north Of
Omaha, afterwards called Ft. Col
houn, and near where the present
village of Colhoun is located. The
other was built and was the orig
inal of Fl. Berthold, though, some
say that it was Fort Atkinson that
was burned Dec. oath, 1862. Fred
Girard was in charge of the fort
when it was attacked by 600 Sioux
Indians. The fort was built about
1860, and is described in Boilers
"Among the Indians" he being a
clerk at tie time. The book is now
hard to get. kellogg, the Bismarck
Tribune correspondent, borrowed
my copy just before he started on
the Custer expedition in 1876, and
of course was lost-as was himself.
The fort was purely a trading post,
not a military one.
Il thing this fort was named for
Gen. Atkinson who figured extern
sively in the west from 1910 to 1926
The two forts, Berthold and Akin
son, were built by rival companies"
Gurley, tired Of the delay in OBJ
tanning ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from
this end, and now writes that he
found out about it through another
source, thanks to the procrastina-
ton Of the Tribune editor. He
writes:-'Ft. Atkinson was an old
fur trading post above old Fort
Stevenson'(where Gurley was once
stationed when a lieutenant in the
army neal Fort Berthold. The
two posts were consolidated and
called Fort Berthold."
Anyhow, the enquiry brings out
information of historic interest.
