s|l MEET
President PullIam Is Opposed
to High Pitching Slabs.
Players to be Traded.

New York, Dec. 12.-National
League club owners are gathering
here for their annual meeang. Pres
ident Harry c. Puiliam has estab-
lished headquarters in the hotel and
Monday George Dovey of Boston,
Garry Hermann Of Cincinnati, Henry
Medicus of Brooklyn, and Stanley
Robinson of st. Louis put in appear
ance.
With Dovey came Fred Tenney,
Dovey expects to meet Joe Kelley,
drafted from Toronto, while here,
and come to terms whereby Kelley
Will become manager of the Boston
club. AT Doveys request Tenney
came along to be on the ground
should deal be made with some
other club for the noted first base
man. Asked IL he had any plans,
Tenney replied:
Plans; what plans can a ball play
er have? Mr. Dovey wanted me to
be on hand in order that any deal
made should be as advantageous to
me as possible"
The question of manager Is vex-
ing one or two National League
clubs, and there are promises of sew
eral developments in this regard dur
ing the week.
At the meeting itself there is lit
tie to do except recommend changes
ters. The rules cannot be changed
at this meeting. They can be dis
cussed and recommended and must
be submitted to the joint rules COM
mittee of the two big leagues. If
reported on favorably they will be
adopted at the spring meetings.
President Pulliam will recon-
mend that all pitchers slabs be on
the level with the rest of the dia-
mond, that a batter advancing a run
ner by means of fly ball shall be
credited with a sacrifice hit, and
that a change be made in the rule
under which an umpire may call
time" in the course of a game. He
VIII suggest a change in this last
named point in section 2 of rule II
to the effect that IL shall be compul-
sorry for the umpire to call time in
case of accidents to players only
when the fielding side is involved in
the accident.
For example, when a base runner
falls and is unable to make his base.
that is his own fault and the UNI
pire shall not have to call time, but
should two fielders run together and
one or both of them be laid out,
play shall be suspended at once.
Concerning the raised slab prac-
tice Mr.. Pulliam says: "It has been
in order to drain the field, but that
is nonsense. A little mound in the
center of the diamond doesn't drain
the field. All 1t does is to give some
pitchers an undue advantage, and
there can't be any uniformity in the
diamonds IL this practice is allow

MILWAUKEE, IS
BESET BY
DRYS
Saloons viii Close at Mid.
night and Open at
g O'Clock.

Milwaukee. Wis, Dec. 12.-The
great temperance wave sweeping
northward and spreading in all III
rections has hit Milwaukee, consider
I'd the invincible stronghold of the
liquor interests, with such force that
the liquor men have fastened to in
augurate certain reforms themselves,
hoping to forestall more radical ac-
ton by the temperance element.
This acknowledgment of the
strength of the prohibition movement
is highly significant. 1t amounts
practically to an epoch in the his
tory of this CITY, which heretofore
has sneered defiantly at all temper
ance movements.
Evidently the brewers and saloon
keepers have had agents out through
the country testing the real strength
of the prohibition movement, and
know what is coming. Hence the de-
cision to steal the thunder of their
enmies. which took the form of a
resolution in the council to close all
saloons at midnight and keep them
closed until o'clock each morning.
This resolution was backed by all
the liquor interests and slipped
through the council without any op-
position.
More Reforms to Follow.
Other reforms are being instituted,
ana ALDERMAN JOnn hOerner, pro-
prietor of a saloon that heretofore
has not had too much regard for the
proprieties, delivered an address in
St. James Episcopal church, his
topic being, "A Plea for Early Clos
ing"
For twenty years the temperance
people have stormed the fiinty RAM
parts of this city without even max
ing dent in the walls. Then came
the great spread of prohibition south
and west. Encouraged by this, 900
pastors banded with the anti-saloon
forces and started the campaign TO
force the closing of saloons at IL
O'Clock. By fathering the resolution
to close at midnight, the liquor in
terest gained credit for the reform
and saved themselves an hour each
day. Notwithstanding this, the tenn
perance sentiment has gained tre-
mendous impetus, and its workers
will continue to urge reforms.
1t is said the brewing interests
have suffered great depreciation in
business because of the closing of sa-
looms in so many parts of the coun-
try.

NEW MEXICO BOY
DYING IN Ell PASO

FL Paso, Texas, Dec. 12.-Little Joe
Pine, of 1920 Missouri street, the
boy who was injured and who has
been suffering from lock jaw, has
been dying for days and cannot pull
through but a short while longer, It
is said. He was an unusually bright
boy and was earning the pay of a
man instead of that of boy of only
fifteen and was the main support of
his invalid mother and little sisters
and brothers.
Judge p. Pine, his father, was one
of the most prominent men in New
Mexico and one of the ablest law
yers. a man who held many high
positions of trust and honor. He
died about seven years ago in the
prime of life.
This child had inherited his faith

HempeI Denies Dispatch

When Coach Walter Hempel of st. Vim
cents was asked about the above dis
patch from Chicago last night he an
swered that there was no basis for Hag-
gerty's statements in SO far as he was
concerned.
"St, Vincent's has disbanded for the
year and there will be no more games.
The men of the football team will not
be allowed to play any more this year.
We consider the season closed. That ends
it. Haggerty is simply making a big
bluff said Hempel
Coach Holmes could not be reached last
night to give his opinion. and the stand
taken by U. S. c., Pomona and Occiden-
tai is therefore uncertain.
1t appears peculiar that such a cold
shoulder against Haggerty has been set
on foot in Southwestern California.
1t is true that he coached at st. Vim
cents in Los Angeles for three years
before he went back to st. Vincent's III
Chicago, and he never tore up the earth
with his teams at that. But this should
not make the local coaches turn their
backs on him.
If Haggerty thinks he has fine team
and If he wants to make fair figures on
the trip west he certainly should be
given a chance to meet either a local
college team or team composed of play
ers chosen from the different colleges.
Amateur sport demands a fair field and
no favor.

We're put yesterday the ashes of Henry
~. Mallabar brings to light for the first
time the story of hero whose life was
forfeited in the saving of others.
On June 15 1904, Mallabar was chief
clerk in Riverside hospital on North
Brothers island. when the i'll fated en-
curslon steamer. General Slocum, a, mass
or flame, bore down on that island. Mr.
Mallabar was one of the first to see the
burning steamer and one of the first AZ
the work of rescue.
A strong swimmer, he plunged into the
water and swan out to where women and
children were jumping from the burning
steamer. He seized three little children
and took them safely to shore.
On second trip two more children
were saved and on three succeeding iour-
neys out to the burning steamer he saved
three women. The last woman he brought
to shore weighed over 200 pounds. AS he
dragged her to safety Mr. Mallabar fell
unconscious. The physicians discoveries
that his exertion had caused the BURST
ing of blood vessel in the brain, Medi-
cal aid restored to him the use of his
faculties, but from a healthy, vigorous
man he became a hopeless invalid. Shock
after shock of paralysis followed until
the one came the other day which
brought death with it. Mr.. Mallabar wa

CINCINNATI ORDERS ROY
HIT TO DROP PASADENA
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Dec. Roy Hit, the
well known Cincinnati twirler now
making his home in Pasadena. has
temporarily retired from the game, al
though he is not averse to playing iii
the outfeld or some other position out
side of box work
After returning to California after
the big league season closed, Roy came
to terms with Managers Dexter and
Upton to play with the Pasadena
team, pitching on Sundays. He Sc
cured good position with a Local
telephone company and still lives here,
although he is not playing.
After pitching several Sundays in
succession it is said the owners of the
Cincinnati team wrote that they would
prefer Hit should give up pitching for
the winter, because they are afraid the
constant wear ON his arm would de-
teriorate his work next spring when
the National league race begins. Hit
followed the advice of his employers
and has given up pitching. However,
he is a valuable man to have on a team
in any other position, although the
Pasadena management cannot see it's
way clear to pay him the price he asks.
President Garry Hermann of the
Cincinnati team greatly admires Roy S
work in the box and he looks for him
TO be the clubs 'mainstay next season..
Last year he pitched close to forty
games and won nearly two thirds of
them with poor team behind him
With chances of improving the
strength of the Reds next season Hit
expects to make a far better showing.
In his games here he displayed his con-
troll of the spit ball in masterful
fashion.
President Hermann is said to rely
upon Roy's own Judgment tostake care
of his arm this winter, and in the early
spring he may be allowed to do box
work at intervals. Pasadena fans have
been led to believe that Roy's arm
went back on him as the reason he
quit pitching for the local team. How.
ever, the cause came from the Cincin-
natl team owners
