President w. II. Lucas yesterday
issued instructions to his umpires.
Red Ehret has not got here yet and
he will be instructed" privately.
Those here were Piggy" Ward and
J. j. Mullane. The latter will go
to Vancouver to umpire the opening
game there. Either Ward or Ehret
will ofiiciate here, probably Ehrent
because the Butte fans are stuck
OH Ward and want to see him UNI
pire He played the second sack
there for long time and gave UNI
pires more grief than a little. 1t
will be worth watching, the way
Ward will umpire. A scrappy play
or makes a good umpire-sOme-
times.
Here is a list of some of the
presidents "don'ts":
Don't sass" the umpire-fine. s..
Don't use improper language
fine s..
Don't argue decision-fine, S..
Don't get "sore" and throw the
ball out of the lot--fine, $40.
Besides those fines, if the case
is bad enough the rules allow the
president to assess fine of not to
exceed $50, and to suspend for any
period he sees fit This rule will
not be exercised except in cases of
gross misbehavior.

Superintendent Long and his asso-
ciates. They began careful,
scientific treatment of the young
mans case.
One, two years passed by and
there was not sign from him.
Then his mother noticed glim-
mering of intelligence.
The doctors got him interest in
outdoor athletics. and soon he be-
came stronger Now he is a sturdy
young man, who can run his hun
dred yards in ~ second and play a
creditable game of baseball.
Books next they taught him, and,
like a child, he learned to become
interested in little things at first,
rising in degree of intelligence until
now good literature attracts him.
He plays checkers, chess and whist
and loves to discuss sports and ath-
letics. He has learned shorthand
and has other accomplishments.
He is, in fact, to all appearances,
a normal young man,
There is only one subject he will
not talk about-that is his crime.
Under the laws of the state, his
recovery complete. Hamburger
should be returned to Jackson to
serve out his life sentence. But DIR.
Long will not consent to that, fear
ing the harsher methods of the pris-
on might cause relapse.
But the doctor says he could be
given his freedom in perfect safety
and without the slightest danger of
a return to crime. His criminal ten
denotes have been eradicated, he de-
