ing from one box to the other after the
pitcher was in position. This is new rule
and its intent was to prevent exactly what
the batsman resorted to. to change from
one box to the other with the plain idea Of
confusing the pitcher. and the penalty was
exactly what was laid down. an out.
On another occasion an umpire got mixed
up on a play of this kind. Runners were
on second and third bases and one hand
out The next man hit fly ball-it seemed
sure to drop to the ground safely. but the
fielder made a great catch. The man on
third was able to touch his base and scored
and did so before the ball was forwarded
to second base and before the runner at that
point could score. The umpire at first de-
cided the run could not count, but upon
protest reversed his decision. Then the
other side stormed at him because he
changed his ruling. AS the third man was
not forced out there was no reason why the
run should not count. Again there was
no reason why the man on third should be
compelled to suffer for the fault of the
man on second.
Under no circumstances should ii be pos
sible for any player to officate as umpire
in major league game who Is connected
with either club. The sort of thing that
happened in Boston on Memorial day was
disgusting TO the patrons of the game, who
have right to demand that nothing stand
in the way of proper official being present
To preside at each game Nothing could
show more strongly the need of the double
two umplres assigned to each game there
could not we'll be any slip-up such as there
was in Boston There are now six UNI
pIres on each staff. AS well go the ex-
IRENE and arrange so that two umpires
are assigned to each ga me and there would
ne TAR less friction from every standpoint
An umpire said the other day: 1T is simply
impossible for one umpire to handle an
important game and give satisfaction for
the reason that too much is dependent
upon you II is impossible for an umpire
IN
consequently you lose many a one There
Is no telling what Will turn up in base ball.
hut an umpire Is expected TO be perfect all
the time and allow nothing to get away
from him"
The other day Umpire tombstone of the
National League staff, two days in sue
ceSsion, failed to see that Brain of the
Boston Nationals cut third base by many
feet On the first occasion the runner was
caught at the rubber despite such a bare
faced bit of work. but the Lext time he
managed to score his run. With two UNI
pires such a state of things would be
simply impossible.

Burns is not sure of the goods at that for,
although the Kid invariably fights on the
defensive and tries to win out on points,
he is a clever, shifty boxer and not to be
underrated.

plays good ball and will be found on the
winning side in the majority of cases. The
team Is very fast. in fact so fast at times
as to cause misplays when slower play

Interested in old-Time Games.

A reader of The Star has sent the fol-
lowing note to indicate his appreciation of
the od-time base ball chapters printed in
the sporting section:
Although a down and out it was with
a great deal of pleasure that read in your
sporting sheet of Sunday last an account
of d game of ball between the Atlantics
and Rosedales.
Il was a member of the then Junior
Rosedales and for number of years after
of the amateurs. Your visitor seems to
have a thorough know ledge of the game of
those days and We will be glad to listen
to more of his talks of the past.

What Altizer Speaks.

Davy AItizer, Washington's crack short
stop. was for several years one of Uncle
Sans boys in blue. Davy was in the vol
unteer service, and besides ducking tho
bullets sent in his direction by the unwash-
ed Filpinos. he also ran the Chink CANT
let, when he and Admiral Seymour and a
few other heroes marched to the siege Of
Tientsin.
Davy was later with the American army
when It went on to Picking and disturbed
the pipe artists. Now, all this experience in
the far east causes Altizer to become a re-
liable authority on things over the sea, and
his opinion on matters concerning the hap
penings in the orient are respectfully heard
by his fellow players.
The other day out at the club house the
boys got to discussing the probability Of
Japan and America coming to blows over
our Philippine possessions. and the posi-
bility of China helping the Japs. In case
such war should come off. This led to
some talk concerning China, and Charley
Jones asked Altfzer II he could speak
Chinese?
.Oh. talk at it," replied Dave, but It's
sort of pigeon Chinese, 1 suppose, that
passes from me-
''Ah. see said Charley Hickman, as he
began buckling up his belt, You speak a
kind of broken china, eh?''

How Connolly's Report Read.

When Tommy Connolly, the umpire, was
officiating over in Baltimore during the time
that McGraw and his crowd were running
things In the Monumental city, he was one
day beset by the entire Baltimore outfit,
WHO intended to do him injury, backed as
they were by the approving yelps of the
spectators.
1t was during a game between the Baltf-
mores and the Detroits. and only the quick
work of the police reserves saved the nervy
Connolly from serious injuries. There was
another nervy man who faced the angry
mob that day in order to stand by the UNI
pire. and this was no other than the scrappy
little Elberfeld. whom the writer saw hurl
himself time and time again against the
Baltimore players. and each time he would
be thrown back by big Dan Mccain. But
the kid" was true grit, for with his black
eyes flashing fire. he would leap into the
thickest of the fight. where he ran a good
chance each moment of being put out of
business for life. Elberfeld was at this
time a member of the Detroit club
After hard fight che police succeeded In
getting Connolly away from the mob, and
when Tommy made personal report of the
affair to Ban Johnson he finished his COM
plant with the following sentence: "And
their voices were extremely high. while
their language was unusually low
AS curious coincidence the fact might be
recorded that Elberfeld was the first man
to be put out of the game in the American
League this season and Tommy Connolly
was the umpire 10 turn the trick.
Hickman's Expensive Education.
Charley Hickman makes no secret of the
fact that when he was at college he was
Their to pitch ball. and not for the purpose
of causing jewelers. to work overtime in
their efforts to turn out medals fast enough
TO keep pace with all the prizes that were
to be awarded to him on account of knowI-
edge CLEANED from books.
Charley went to the University of West
Virginia, because he liked that section of
the country and because they had a good
BAH team up there. Hick, of course, was a
bona tide student but he didn't cause any
of the specialized class to grow jealous of
him. as he passed up the job of numbering
Horatio at the Bridge. Mark Antony's
Grafton and such oratorical efforts.
Charley concentrated his mind principally
on base ball. and a pitcher he had
everything frazzled to a shred up in the
mountain section. Hick. in those days
could make the ball do the serpentine move
ment when it was Its way to the bats
man, a-.d they still speak of Charley I'D
there in awed tones
Some time ago the players on the Wash
ineton team were discussing the cost of a
co.iege education. and Heydon said to Hick-
man:
Il suppose Charley, that your education
must have cost you a lot of money!
You might know 1t did," merrily .eplied

Associated Press.

Washington, October Fashion
able residents of Sixteenth street, or
the Avenue of the President will
have an opportunity to witness a novel
spectacle tomorrow morning-noth-
ing less than rough rider contest in
the heart of the capital. All staff field
officers on duty in Washington and
vicinity, some fifty in number, have
been ordered to assemble early to-
morrow, mounted and in khaki uni
form, and proceed to ride fifteen
miles at breakneck speed, with the
purpose of demonstrating their pro-
ficiency in horsemanship and their
fitness for the service The order
was issued by direction of the presi-
dent, who is said to have intimated
that some of the officers had degene-
rated through their long stay in
Washington into mere society molly
coddles. 1t is a fact that there are
many staff officers who have not been
astride horse for decade or more,
and there is much anxiety in army
circles as to what the morrow will
bring forth. Since the order was is
sued many of the derelict ones have
been persistently practicing horse
manship, but it is feared that the
rough rider tactics prescribed by the
president will be too severe for them.

Army Horscmanship Test
In Heart Of Washing

Some of these are wondering what
will happen If they fail to make good
in the horsemanship tests.
The idea that army officers should
be proficient in riding originated with
the president, who found that certain
officers of the line were unable to
keep pace with their commander in
chief. His letter, suggesting practice,
was referred to Secretary Taft, and
by him to the general staff for action.
The suggestion was not only ap-
proved but was made to include STAFF
as wellas field officers.
The occupation Of many of the STAFF
officers is purely sedentary, and is
likely to remain SO throughout their
army careers. These men are unable
to see in what manner it will demon
strate their ability to construe mill
| tary law or promote their efficiency
at desk work to be able to ride NJ
| teen hearbreaking miles without stop
| ping, but like true soldiers they are
preparing for the attempt Some of
them, however, who have become fat
/ and stiff in their old age, are not
looking forward to the contest with
any noticeable degree of enthusiasm.
The route selected will be out Six
teenth street, through Rock Creek
park and the National park into
Maryland and return.
