BASES BLOCKED AND GAME END,
Some Queer Notions of Umpires a.
Related by MaEnntes,

President Murphy of the Cubs was in the
press box during the game at Columbus re-
Gently, surrounded by bunch Of visiting
and local sporting writers. The bases were
full when Reilly came up
Down in Nashville they would call him
out" said Murphy. "They had an umpire
there one time that suddenly woke up t.
find the bases full. The man at bat was a
good walter and pretty soon four bad ones
had been thrown to him.
-Four balls; you're out howled the
Jump.
The bases are all full, and there's no
place for you was the answer.
THE batter protested but had to stand
for It,"
That caused a man to tell a similar story
that is one of Bobby Quinn's extensive
repertoire. 1t seems that there. was club
in one Of the leagues that had three par
ticularly slow runners. They were so
elephantine in their strides that they were
the joke of the league. One day all three
OF them got on bases. The umpire looked
around saw the situation, and, advancing
to the plate, called the game.
What are you calling the game for, you
blockhead?" shouted the captain of the
home team, whose club was several runs
to the good.
1.-THE bases are blocked" said the ump,

also bad, attempts to extend singles into

nrlsto. votes to 60 DRY.

The citizens of Bristol, Tenu., yester-
day had an election on the question OF
abolishing saloons and voted to go dry"
by b99 to II. The election was attend
ed With much enthusiasm from the fact
that tho Temperance people, including
men, women and children representing
various church organizations and the
public schools, paraded the streets, head
ed by band of music. There we're fully
1000 In the parade. The saloon men
did not 90 to the polls, claiming, in ac'
cordance with a statement issued by
them two days ago, that the election was
not legal.
The presumption is that they mean 10
contest the verdict before the legislature,
out this could hardly count for anything
as the election was only intended to get
an expression OF the votes as means Of
governing the representatives in the leg
isIature with reference TO enaeting the
necessary legislation to abolish the pres
ent city charter, under which saloons
exist. The chairman Of the local liquor
mems committee said last night that
they were beaten and he had no state
ment to make.
Bristol, Va, will vote on the same
proposition April %, Notwithstanding
the contention that Judge Price could
not legally order an election for so early
