THE SCIENCE OF THE CUBS

While there can be no doubt that
the throwing of Catcher Schmidt of
the Tigers in the worlds series was
far from perfect, he was not alto
gether to blame for the way the
Cubs ran bases on him.
Every member of the Chicago
team, with the possible exception
of Steinfelt, is wonderfully fast on
the paths, and this, coupled with
the fact that they have made the
art of base running one of the feat
ures of their team play, makes
them hard to stop on the lines.
The one great secret of their
ability to run the bases so success
fully is that they are constantly on
the alert.
They seem to make a study of
the opposing pitcher and the man.
ner in which he delivers the ball
AS soon as one of them reaches
first he makes a bluff to start for
second on the first ball pitched, and
by so doing causes the other team
to disclose who is to cover second
on the throw.
If the hit and run play is tried
then the batter knows who is to
take the throw, and he can try to
hit through the spot vacated.
When clean steal is attempted
the base runner always gets a fly
ing lead From their work on the
paths it is safe to presume that the
Cubs figure this way: eBtter to be
caught off first few times during
a series than to get bad start and
always be thrown out at second.

FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT.

Get Away by May Is.

Representative Watson of Indiana. re-
Gently nominated by the republicans for
governor of his state. and who is now
the energetic whip of the House. has be-
come the original get-away-early man.
Mr.. Watson thinks that Congress should
be able to wind up its business and clear
out for the high grass about May 10. and
certainly not later than May 10. He is
doing all he can to get this idea inocu-
lated into the House membership and has
met with considerable success. He is
rather doubtful about the Senate, how
ever. but thinks the get-away-early idea
will grow rapidly in favor from now on.
Under the special rules now prevailing in
the House 1t Is possible to do great deal
OF business in a comparatively short time,
and the Senate's reputation for getting a
move on itself when it wants to Is well
known.

Wait is the name of new station on
the Erie, situated between Crown Point
and Griffith, which in time promises to
be a thriving little suburb of either
town, providing the Hartman Err
ratic," otherwise known as the Erie
milk train, keeps up its present tactics
of waiting on the side track one mile
out of Griffith for two hours or more,
while the engineer and crew take the
delapidated old smoke producer back
to Hammond for repairs.

passengers been laid up at the same
place for over two hours. arriving at
Crown Point after 10 o'clock and now
those that ride regularly on the "go-

can improve their time financially and

stops at the deso1ate spot, one mile or

they waited, tired. supperIess. hungry
and exceeding wrothy for the old dere-
lect known as an engine" to return
from Hammond and among some of the
schemes suggested, appeared the fol-
lowing:
1. The immediate establishment Of
a lunch counter at the spot where the
old engine refuses to go further.
2. That the Erie establish moving
picture show near the place. so that
the passengers may be entertained
while waiting. Scenes depecting

| sengers or moving slides showing en-
gines of an older type, giving poorer
service than the Erie, would be inter-

3. The making of an official censor

nothing stronger than water. and say

suggested that man used to strenu-
