cANTILLON A REFORMER.
Manager Of Washing Team Has Done
Several Good Jobs.

Not many Of the spectators who look
down on bluff Joe Cantillon as he tries
to coach his men 10 victory stop to re-
member that ii is to the energetic,
hUStling manager of the Nationals that
the credit is due for two Of the biggest
refOrmations that have ever taken
place in the national game. 1t was
cantillon who suggested and brought
about the change whereby the catChers
We're brought under the bat, thereby
cutting off from. 10 to 20 minutes in the
rlaying time Of every game, and il was
CantillOn, who with Sheridan, furnished
the bone and sncW of the warfare on
ro"dyiSm and umpire batting when the
American League sounded its "clean
hail' slogan, and put an end to the
days when ruftianly players ran the
games 20 suit themselves.
Ban johnson tells the story. "Cantil-
Ion was umpiring for me at Indianap-
oils in 1895, think it was, when he first
suggested to me that the catcher be
made to stay up under the bat all the
time" says Johnson. IN those days
the catcher often played in front of the
batter for a brnt and the umpire had
to thrOY back the balls that went to
the graudstand. CantillOn nalked at
this. lie refused to handle the ball,
and the game was often strung out to
three hours or more while the catcher
would go back from inside the diamond
| to recover the ball. Joe wrote me from
| Indianapolis urging me to issue an
| order rciIiqring the catcher to stand up
| to The plate all the time.
| 1t seemed n heroic innovation, but
| CAntillons suggestion was finally put
] into force and was gradually taken up
| and adopted by the other leagues. 1t
| was when Baltimore was admitted to
| the American League that our efforts
| to stamp out roWdyiSm and the brow
| beating of umpireS was put TO the test.
| One of CantillOn'S first acts when /
| sent him to Baltimore was to put
| McGraw out Of the game. That night
| he wired me to suspend MuggSy.
| confess that | didn't sleep that night
| McGraW had just come over to us from
| the National League. Baltimore was
new to our league, and we were anxious
to build up a paying business there
| Cantillon vas insistcnt, however. and
| Sheridan backed him dp. Finally / or
dered McCraw's suspension, and al
| though it created all the uproar l had
| feared it had exactly the effect far
seeing Joe had anticipated. 1t sounded
| the death kncll Of rpwd.'ism in this
league, and one might almost say in
| baseball in general"
| Johnson might also have told of Can
tilIon's courage in those early days OF
| the new league, when Joe defied Il sun
| day crowd of 10000 at Detroit and for
feited the game to Cleveland. Baseball
has been played on a higher plane il
the city of the straits ever since.

RESULT OF FIRST THOUGHT.
Criticism Of GIidden Tour Rules Shows
Lack of Consideration.

According to f. u. Hover, chairman
of the touring board of the American
Automobile Association, most of the
adverse criticism Of the rules for the
Cflidden trophy contest is the result of
first thought. ana not of careful con-
sideratiOn while the rules themselves
are the result of much thought from
many sources.
The rule concerning which most has
been said is the one requiring that no
repairs shall be made en- route, outside
Of tires. except from supplies carried
in the car from the outset, and that a
list shall De made Of all the parts and
repair material with which car
starts. Even the cartOonists, Mr..
Hover says, have had fun with this,
on the supposition that the cars Will
consequently be so loaded down with
repair material that there will be no
room for passengers. A second thought
convinccs ono that this will not be the
case because Of tho provision requiring
that the supplies carried by car shall
be made known. For a car to start
out with lot af extra parts would be
4 confession Of known weaknesses by
the manufacturer and expectations of
trouble.
The list of parts carried by a car
would tell in just what respects the
car was known TO he weak. This rule
was made because it is an open secret
that during the tour of last year some
cars were almost rebuilt from extra
parts carried in other ears not Compel
ing. While a manufacturer could do
this, it was a manifest injustice to the
individual owner to permit it.
It has never been the intention Of the
touring board to have more than two
controls 4 day, but conditions may
arise requiring far more on some days,
in order to regulate the speed. This is
an example Of the considerations
which led to the rule giving the touring
board power to amend the rules.
The work of laying out the route and
making arrangements for the tourists
is BEING prosecuted with much more
vigor and regard for detail. 1t has
thus far been arranged that the first
night stop will be at Toledo. the second
night at South Bend, Ind, the third
night at Chicago and the fourth night
at South Bend again. The fifth night
will be spent at indianapolis, and from
there the run will be eastward to
Pittsburg, by way of Columbus, Ohio
where one night will be spent. From
Pittsburg it is probable the route will
lead to Baltimore. then back to New
York by way Of Philadelphia.
