LONELINESS OF oREAe CITY,
No Interested Friends to Enter Into
Joys and Sorrows.

If you live in large city you are
lost. You are swallowed up by the
ocean of people around you. You
go down into the deep and that's the
last of you, except perhaps an occa-
slonal bubble that may come to the
surface near where you were last
seen, says the Fremont CO., Post.
There are so many people who cant
escape drowning. You can't make
friendships as you do in a smaller
place, where the individual isn't en-
tirely effaced by the mass. Society
Is not what 1t Is In the smaller place,
where the human element enters In
altogether. In the larger place your
comings and goings are not noted by
your friends even, and never by the
newspapers, unless you are one OF the
high financiers or packing-house
bunch. The births and weddings In
your family are of no more interest
outside your own fiat than are the
wreaths Of smoke curling up into the
empyrean; no merry crowd of In
terested neighbors with their warm
congratulations. The deaths bring lit
tie sympathy from the rumbling, rat
ting world outside; no sorrowing ac-
quaintances who have stood by you
through the long sickness; there 10
little or none of that evidence OF low
ing kindness that comes from neigh
bors and real friends In small city
or town, where the dollar mark is not
written so large and so indelibly on
everything. 1t is paradoxical law that
where there are SO many people there
are fewer friends, and when you d.
minish the number TO frontier com
munity where neighbors are miles
apart your friends are ready TO take
their lives in their hands for you.

PITCHING ESSENTIALS
Manager hanlon Sums Them Up In a
Few Terse Sentences.

Manager Hanlon, Of Cincinnati, the
sion on the new Cincinnati pitcher
Fred Smith, late of Terre Haute
spoke unreservedly OF the qualities
essential to successful pitcher
Speaking of Smith, Manager Hanlon
admitted that he had neither the
speed OF a Rusie nor the curves OF a
Fraser. But he has a good change
OF pace" Hanlon added, "a nice as.
sortment of curves and good control
These are the qualities that will make
him successful, l think" Manager
Hanlon's ideas of the pitcher who sue.
ceeds are summed up In these terse
sentences:
He must have a fair change Of
pace"
He must be able to put the ball
where he wants It,"
And he must know how to mix
them up"
Those are the essentials of a sue
cessful pitcher to-day"

my opinion two of the greatest pitchers
that ever lived we're Dumping Nc
Mahon, OF the old Baltimore team
and Frank Dwyer, for years with the
Reds. Neither of them had extraordi-
nary speed, but they knew just where
every ball they pitched was going,
and that counted for more than any
physical superiority either may have
shown in his work. This boy Smith
seems to be built on the same lines
as these men. He has the batsmen
guessing all the time, instead of the
batsmen having him figuring The re.
suit is that he has been getting away
with his efforts nicely since he joined
the Reds, and believe he'll get bet
ter as his acquaintance with the big
league batsmen ripens, 1t certainly
would be sweet to develop another Nc.

few OF them in the game these days"

Giles AND MARK THE PLAY.
n ERs ACCORDINGLY.
ALL A MATTER OF JUDGMENT
Some lnfielders Can Locate a Dollar
Clear Across the Diamond, While
Others Would Hit ump Behind
Bat Trying to Locate First.

Clarence wants to know why scor-
ers sometimes differ in giving credit
for a base hit or an error.
For the same reason that two loving
hearts, which have sworn to eternally
beat as one, will often take a trip in
diametrically opposed directions and
make the neighbors think there's a
railroad collision In the fat. II every
one thought alike there wouldn't be
any real thinks to make the thunks
which move the world.
No two pairs of lamps are trimmed
at exactly the same angle. We have
known boxing gentlemen who could
see a punch coming in the dark, and
others who never knew what was in
the offing until the FIRE bells rang.
There are infielders who can locate
a silver dollar clear across the dia-
mond and some who frequently take
aim at first and hit the ump behind
the plate. It's matter of vision.
One scorer will see the runner beat
the throw, another has the ball in the
baseman's mitt before the runner has
thrown away his bat. It's one mans
judgment against anothers The ques.
tion relates to whether the fielder
could or could not have coralled the
ball in time to nail the other fellow
at the bag.
There are other differences among
scorers. If runner making an at
tempt to steal second gets to the base
ahead of the ball, but overslides the
bag and is touched on the far side.
some scorers will give the player
credit for a stolen base.
There is a rule authorizing this.
There Is no logical reason for giving
player credit for something he failed
to do. He did not steal the base.
Then how can he be logically given
credit for It? The fact that he got
there az certain instant of time and
afterward lost his grip on the object
of his gain certainly stands as loss.
not win. He has made an attempt.
but failed to consummate 1t. What
difference ought the closeness or
Wilderness Of his failure to make In the
credit for his act?
In fact giving the player stolen
base under the circumstances is ridic.
ulous Most of the rules in baseball
are based on equity of situations.
There is no justice in giving a player
who fails the same credit as that
given to one who has succeeded in
advancing the interests OF his side.
Wise as the big majority of the
baseball rules are, they, like all the
rules ever made, are sometimes
broken by consent for supposedly
good reasons.
