HARTMAN ANXIOUS TO
RETIRE PREFERRED STOCK
Rumors Prevail About With
drawal of Southern Pa
cific Paner :.

Rumors have been busy in relation
TO the retirement Of Southern. Pacific
preferred stock since its common stock
went above par last week. The up
ward movement commenced a week
ago, when Southern Pacific common
stock went above par. as was noted in
The Call last Wednesday. From 9SS4
the price crept up to SO, then to 99ah
and later to loo Is, finally reaching
1OO5s before it was carried off in the
later reaction. which brought it down
to 80 u again at the close. y
Following this came the report that
Hartman intended to retire Southern
Pacific preferred stock and that he and
his associates were planning to eN-
change the present outstanding issue
of $I4.664,933 of such preferred stock
for like amount of u Ger cent bonds.
AS the stock pays per cent, although
noncumulative. the saving involved in
such an exchange would amount to 21k
per cent. or approximately s1,S7S.G24.
1t was admitted in well informed
fir ancial circles that retirement OF
the preferred stock undoubtedly would
be effected at some future date. but
that the report describing the ~ per
cent bonds as the securities to be given
in exchange were entirely erroneous

Smith Protesting Game
 Raises P0inf .0f PYimness

Manager William A Smith the astute leader of the Atlanta Plumbers" has formally protested yesterdays game be- tween the Barons and his team this pro- test being based on the last gasp of the struggle when Wilkes. running between first and second, was struck by a ball smashed out by Clayton.
 As soon as the ball struck the runner he checked himself. and turned toward the players bench with a dissenting movement or utterance.
 Smiths protest is based on the fact that the ball, en route to Wilkes body, against which it eventually landed, tipped the glove of Pitcher Bauer.
 In defending his action in ruling Wilkes out, Umpire Carpenter, first of all, points to that rule which declares base run ner out when hit by a batted ball.
 In addition he points to sections and 6 of rule 56 which make it incumbent on a base runner, when his progress is des- tined to interfere with a fielder fielding a ball to run around the said fielder and in doing so, give him full liberty in com pleting his effort.
 In the above paragraphs are the con- tentions.
 The factS Tn the cdse are those.
 With Wilkes on first. Herbert Smith on second, and James Fox on third, Clayton hits a ball sharply toward second base.
 The ball grazes the tip of Bauer's glove and strikes Wilkes running to second.
 Had the ball not struck Wilkes it would have been necessary for him to have done either one of three things-passed Wal ters before the ball reached him, ran be- hind Walters or stood still until the ball crossed the path He, to all intents ana purposes, did the perfectly natural thing attempted to get by before the paii reaohed him. He failed and went out.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-13

In discussing this point it is well to figure on what would in all probability have happened had the ball not struck Wilkes.
 Walters was awaiting the ball with out stretched arms He would. in case he had not fumbled Il, which was not likely, thrown Wilkes out at second. This would have retired the side and ended the game.
 Smith raises the point that the ball touched by a fielder before striking a runner renders the case one in which the rule does not properly apply.
 This raises the question: Was the case one in which a bona fide batted ball hit a base runner?
 The best answer is to narrate tact'
 Clayton stung the ball viciously. It flew like a shot toward point between second and the spot whereat the secolu baseman generally plays
 En route it touched Bauer's glove, and continuing, with speed not decreased strikes the runner
 Was that not a bona fide batted ball that struck Wilkes?
 The rule declaring a runner struck oy A batted ball out was framed in order to prevent base runners intentionally ne- ing struck, and barring all technicalities, the case devolves itself into this, simply:
 Had Wilkes not been hit by the ball. could Walters have retired WliKes at second or Clayton at first?
 The chances are that Wilkes would nave been thrown out
 However. Manager Smith was quick to act on the technical differences, and in doing so raised a neat point, a point, In fact. of importance. because on the de- cision depended the game.
 Had wilkes not been out Atlanta would have tied the score and might have scored other runs.
 The Barons, however, it must be re- membered would have had another chance at bat.
