LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 9.-Perhaps
the most unique defense ever offered,
yet one which did not even "touch"
Judge Mccain, was that made in the
police court by Jack Tierney, so years
old, who was accused of petit larceny.
Tierney was accused of stea ling some
tools and other material from the

asked to enter his plea he said he was
not guilty.

When they came down they fell in my

Tierney did not crack a smile as he
made this remarkable statement, and
for a moment the court was nonplused.
Then Judge Mccain reached for his
pen, made a few notes, and when
Tlerney was told the decision he found
he was fined $40 and placed under "A

Chicago Girl Wins Recognition at
First Appearance in Los Angeles.
Orpheus Quartet Assists
in Recital

"Hagar," an Egyptian monologue in
costume, was given by Miss Verna
Mae Hall Wednesday evening at
Blanchard hall.
Miss Hall, came to Los Angeles
from Chicago recently. and her first
local appearance was made Wednes-
day evening.
In addition to the monologue, Miss
Hall gave Riley's bear story, which
was much enjoyed Miss Hall was
with Mary Mannering for two years
prior to her coming to California. The
Orpheus quartet. composed of Messrs
Sessions, Fulton. Collier and Webster
assisted Miss Hall in the recital.
Miss Halls face is very expressive
giving added interest to her mono-
logues, while she has the genius of be-
ing able to throw herself into the
character she may be impersonating
without restraint and without self
consciousness.

II was the first week Of the juvenile

special pride in having himself well

covering the lease on the building.
Many applica tions from young men
for rooms are constantly on file at the
Y. NJ G. A. and no trouble is likely
to be experienced in keeping these dor
mitores occupied all the time. The ex-
pertinent has been tried in several of
the larger cities and in every case has
been found to be highly successful.
The New York and Washington asso-
Citations have such dormitories in their
buildings, and the income from these
is said to amount to large percentage
on the money invested
Just when work on the new Y. M.
c. A. building will be begun has not
yet been decided.
Have $4,000 on Hand
The money on hand, amounting to
about $32O,O0O, is not quite up to the
mark set by the directors, although it
is not expected that any great amount
of difficulty will be experienced in maxi
ing up this deficiency little later on.
Still, even with the full $3.50. 200 on
hand there would not be much more
than enough to put UP the building ac-
cordng to present plans, leaving prac-
tically nothing for the furnishing and
equipment.
In view of this the suggestion has
De6Il Ildu6 lIldI llle dSSUCldllOIi sell It's
lot on South Hill street, directly op-
poste its present quarters, and pur-
chase a cheaper one a little farther
from the business district. This sug-
gestion is said to meet. with consid-
cradle favor on the part of some of the
directors of the association.
The lot now owned by the Y. NJ. C. A.
was purchased about two years ago
for $4,000, and real estate men say
that a conservative estimate of it's pres
ent value would be $250,O00. 1t is
thought that another lot which would
serve the purposes of the association
even better than this one does could
be bought for about 100000, which
would leave $15O,0O0 to be applied on
the new building.
r 1t is understood that in a quiet way
some investigation along this line al
ready has been made, but no formal
proposition has yet been brought before
the board. The feeling is however,
that eventually a move OF that kind
will be made.

the Giants off their feet They ran the
bases like wild men, but they were
stopped Buck Ewlngs throwing was
too much for them. and they actually
were beaten at their own game.
Mike Kelly was perhaps the most
daring Of all base runners. He never
was extremely fast, and I'm his latter
years grew extremely slow-but he
stole almost as many bases when slow
as ever he did. Indeed the best base
runners the game has known were men
Of medium speed In running, and few
Of the really fast sprinters ever were
good base runners. Kelly ran bases
with his head instead Of his feet
one of the best tricks that old team
ever pulled off was against Boston In
Chicago. Kelly engineered the deal.
although he was on first base with a
runner Burns. | think, on third. one
was out and the worst hitter in the
team up. with one run needed. Kelly
was standing on first, and as the pitcher
prepared to deliver the ball Kelly went
dashlng toward second yelling at the
top Of his voice.
How Kelly Slid Home
The pitcher took glance to see II the
runner had left third. and saw him
standing still. and. to his astonishment,
saw Kelly still tearing toward second.
He hesitated expecting Kelly would
stop or slow up-then threw, and threw
high while Kelly. instead Of sliding and
reaching second in safety. merely
touched the base and turned toward
third at top speed, leaving the second
baseman holding the ball in astonsh-
ment
The runner at third had moved off
ten feet as X ely came tearing toward
him yelling commands. and. catching
the drift of the play, he sprinted for
home. The throw went to the plate
ahead of him as he rushed homeward.
and seeing himself hopelessly out he
slowed up a hit, and Kelly, coming on
from third. slid around him, escaped
the astonished catcher, who was tag
gng the other runner, and scored, even
ing up the game.
Kelly invented the "Chicago slide"
which was one of the greatest tricks
ever pulled off. 1t was combination
slide, twist and dodge. The runner
went straight down the line at top
speed and when nearing the base,
| threw himself either inside or outside
of the line. doubled the left leg under
him df sliding inside, or the right, If
sliding outside), slid on the doubled up
leg and hip. hooked the foot of the
other leg around the base and pivoted
on it, stopping on the opposite side of

! Every player of the old Chicago team
practiced and perfected that slide and

when really they should have been
| touched out easily. There are some
modern players who make the slide

one in either big league who executes

EARLY SLIDERS
WERESPEEDIEST
DARING BASE RUNNING MARKED
OLD DAYS
Quick Brain of Famous Kelly Orig
mated Famous "Chcago sIide,"
Which Is Now Practically a
Thing of the Past

Good base running consists in reach
ing the base safely, bad base running
consists in being caught. At least that
is the verdict of the crowd, and even an
expert has hard time to tell whether
the base runner is good or bad. Some
of the worst breaks made on bases win
games, and some of the best result in
defeat. The expert can tell good base
runner by the way he gets the start,
the ground he gains while the pitcher is
delivering the ball, the way he slides
to the objective base, and the judg-
ment he uses in stealing.
A good base runner will take a chance
at one stage of a game that he never
would think of attempting at another,
will make seemingly insane steals at
unaccountable times. He is using his
judgment.
Base running has, in a sense. become
a lost art. Baseball now is played by
certain mathematical rules and regula-
tions, and there is no more of the brill
liant individual feats of the old days.
Every one who plays now knows just
what stage the game is in, what to do
in that stage, and If he does not the
signals from the batter show him his
duty. In the old days most of them
ran unaided by bunt, Squeeze" hit
and run, or blocking or feintng to bunt
to draw the felders out Of position.
Teams still run bases, hoping to
demoralize the opposition, but not to
the extent that they did in the early
years of the game. In those days a
team would run bases at every stage.
and many times would so upset the de-
fepse that 1t broke all to pieces, and
then the vlctors ran at will
