is JUDGE BAKER INCOMPETENCE

There was a lively discussion on a
street car one night last week as it
came in from North Nashville on the
Jefferson street line regarding the
competency and incompetency of
Judge Baker, the present judge Of the
police court. The participants were
all white, well dressed and spoke
in%telligently, not only regarding law
and order, but the duty of a public
servant. One gentleman, tall, we'll
dressed, middle aged, "a heard to re-
mark, Judge Baker is a disgrace to
the city of Nashville, he has no idea
of the law and is the most incompe-
tent man | ever saw on a bench. His
decisions depend entirely upon his
feelings. If he comes down feeling
we'll the fines are light, but if he feels
the least bit cross his fines are all
heavy. There is no attention paid to
the evidence brought out in any case
by a defendant" continues this gentle
man; IF a policeman t~estiies to the
contrary, the judge himself will imme-
diately dismiss the case according to
the policeman's testimony" This gen
tleman further stated that If any APP
peal was taken from the city court it
was invariably dismissed ere it reach
ed a higher court. 1t has often been
said that the policemen were encour-
aged in their hostile treatment and
bullyism to force the public because
they were upheld by the judge of the
City Court.

the inland waterways commission, has
notified the chairman of the executive
committee of the National Irrigation
Congress that the commission will be
represented at the 18th session of the

cannot be foretold. but it is certain
that the larger effort in the direction

MAY MAKE
NEW RECORD

CHICAGO, July 4.-Chicago's cham
ptons are having too easy a time of it
in maintaining leadership. The Cubs
have amassed a lead of II games over
their nearest rivals, New York. and
nothing seems able to stop them. II
the team goes through the entire sea-
son playing its full quota Of 1874
games and finishes up with a percen-
tage equal to its standing today, it
will win the immense record of 123
games, losing only 81, and having a
percentage of 1873. The worlds record
for a seasons winnings in schedule
of 154 games was taken by the Cubs
last year, with 116 victories, but they
bid fair, if accidents do not stop them,
to top even that figure and set a new
mark before the curtain falls next
October.
Because the West Siders are walk
ing away now is no sign they will not
have closer competition before the
season is over. The unexpected al
ways happens in baseball and while
a big slump that would put the
chances for the pennant closer to some
other team would be an unexpected
event there is always a chance that
something may turn up at a crucial
moment that will pull down one club
or elevate another.
The apparent runaway race the
Cubs are making now is hurting them
to a certain extent and their best
friends and warmest admirers among
the rooters would like to see them
pulled down a trifie, so as to make the
battle more interesting.
New York made a furry in the race
for few moments, but it amounted
only to flash in the pan, apparently.
Philadelphia and the Pittsburg club
are the two that Manager Chance is
keeping his weather eye upon, for he
knows that Murray has ball club in
the Phillies that is a corker, and he
knows Fred Clarke and his band OF
Pirates of old. The Cub leader ac-
tually fears both of these clubs moro
than he does McGraw's Giants.

BASE RUNNERS
OFTEN CAUGHT
Tricks of the Batter and
Of the Battery During
a "Steal"

BY pitching OUT is meant a ball
thrown out of reach of the batter, SC
that the catcher may have a clear and
quick throw to second if a runner on
first starts to steal.
If the pitcher is WISE he generally
has an idea when the runner is going
to attempt a steal He figures what
his club would do in case a runner
was on first, and acts accordingly. The
catcher is also watching, and when he
thinks the runner is to start he sig
nails for a pitch out"
The pitcher then throws the ball
wide of the plate and to the catchcer's
right, so that he can make a quick and
accurate throw. Many runners are cut
down in this way.
If the play fails and the runner
doesn't start, 1t is tried again. FIRE.

You Have Heard the Cry.

Often you see runner start for sec
ond, and just as he is about to reach
the bag safely the batter will foul off
the ball and the runner has to return
TO first. All around the stand you will
hear grunts of disapproval like this:
"Chump! What did he want to hit
at it for? He had the base stolen,
sure!" You all have heard it.
Baseball science and experience
teach that a batter should always hit
at the ball when a steal of second Is
attempted, and, moreover, he should
try to hit the ball. If he misses, the
base runner will naturally have bet
ter opportunity of being safe, as the
swing will confuse the catcher. But
the main object is for the batter to hit
the ball.
When a runner starts for second
either the second baseman or the
shortstop is going to cover the bag
and the other may take chance on
backing him up. This will leave the
tto positions practically uncovered
or rather there will be two holes in the
infield. and if the batter can poke a
ball through it, so much the better
Instead of a stolen base the former
base runner will have gone to third
and the batter will be on first. DO
you see the idea?
If the batter does not succeed In
hitting the ball, the runner will have
that much better chance of getting the
base. SO you see the plan works to
advantage both ways. If the batter
waited, the runner might be thrown
out and neither would be any better
off.
In attempting this play, the batter
naturally hits many foul balls as ne
must strike at every ball that goes by
Now, in the future, don't be worried

first. Both men are playing the game
