When His Ump-=ship
Is Forced To
Use His Noodle

When the wise solons of baseball
formulated the playing rules, they
thought that every point liable to
come up in the game had been COW
cred. Such a belief has been wiped
out, and every now and then the rule
makers are compelled TO draft some
new rule to govern Il new point. De-
spite their efforts, peculiar situations
still present themselves, and in many
of the cases the umpire must use his
judgment rather than follow the rules.
Last summer Jack Sheridan was con.
fronted with rather unusual play,
but his usual good Judgment was in
evidence, and he got away with the
disputed point with little or no trouble.
In Boston the right field bleachers
serve as the foul line in deep right
field. Chicago was playing Boston
and as the game meant much to the
White Sox they were fighting every
inch of the way. With two men out,
the score a tie and men on second and
third, the Chicago batter sent long
fly to deep right. 1t was evident that
the BAH would either go foul into the
beachers or strike the inside of the
bleachers and bound into fair terri
tory. The Chicago runners were tear
ing around the bases, hoping that the
ball would be fair. Jack Sheridan was
watching the ball closely, and as he
afterwards said, he expected to see it
go foul. To the CONSERVATION Of ev-
erybody, one of the bleacherites stood
up, extending his hands into fair ter
rtory and caught the ball The Chi
cago batters and runners made the
circuit and a home run was claimed
Although in baseball in 20 years 1t
was the first time Sheridan had been
called upon to decide such play,
Jack called the batter back and sent
the runners to the bases they occupied

1907 DISTINCTIVE
YEAR IN PUGIlISM

The year 1907 had two distinctive
features which make that year re-
markable in pugilism--one is the as.
tonishing lack of certainty as to who
are the legitimate holders of cham
pionship titles in the different classes,
The other is the surprising manner in
which new pugllistlc stars, such as
Tommy Burns, who Is the undisputed
holder of the worlds heavyweight
championship, and owen Moran, Billy
Papke and Packy Mcfarland, who
have developed their claims as pos
sibe championship holders.

before the hit was made. On his sec
ond chance the batter flied out. Chi
cago won me game and but little more
was said about the play, but some of
the White Sox still insist that Sheri-
dan ruled against them, inasmuch as
the ball was in fair territory when
lnterfered with by an outsider. Sher.
idan contended that the ball would
surely have gone foul, had no inter
ference taken place, and 1t would have
been an injustice to Boston to have
decided otherwise,

AMATEUR LINES
ARE STRICTLY DRAWN

New York, n. Y, Dec 2G.-The
result of the row among athletes
over the appointment of Matthew p.
Halpin as manager of the American
team to take part in the Olympic
games at London may result in the
selection of large number OF col
lege athletes for the team. Several
members of last years Athens team
announce that they will not go to
London with Halpin as manager, and
the committee declines to remove
him.
The recent suspension OF Ralph
Rose OF San Francisco, the great
weight thrower, on charges of pro-
fessionalism leads those interested in
athletics to believe that the amateur
athletic union is going to be stricter
than ever before in enforcing the
rules against professionalism and
several other well-known athletes are
believed to be slated for suspension.
1t is said that the colleges are pre-
pared to raise sufficient money to
send their athletes abroad, and the
men naturally have more time at
their disposal than athletes engaged
in business. 1t is the general opln-
ion that fully two-thirds of the mem
hers of the team will be college men.
American athletes are discussing
the peculiar position in which they
are likely to be placed by an unex-
pected action OF the Canadian Ath-
letic Association. 1t is said on good
authority that the Canadian associa-
ton will reinstate Longboat, the In
dian runner who was suspended by
both the Canadian association and
the amateur athletic union on a
charge of professionalism. The rea-
son given for this action is that the
Canadians desire to enter a team at
the Olympic games in London next
summer. Longboat doubtless will
brovc a winning card at the meeting
in London.
1t is not likely, however, that the
amateur athletic union will remove
the suspension against the Indian, in
which case no American athlete
could enter the race against him in
London.
Amateur oarsmen are busy fgur-
ing on the makeup of the crews
which President James Pilkington OF
the national association of amateur
oarsmen will select to take part, as
the representatives of America, in
the races which will be part OF the
Olympic games at London next sum-
mer. Several New York oarsmen
are candidates for places on the
crews and it is said in rowing cir
Giles that Philadelphia oarsmen are
sure to capture several places.

before you can say Jack Robinson. So
1t is necessary to stoop and catcli- y
ball of that kind as you would high
ball. With Wagner, who throws like
shot, and is the hardest thrower |
] ever saw, the case is complicated in
the extreme. He often throws just at
that height, and If tried to catch 1t
as would low ball the little upshoot
It's speed gives 1t would make II i'm.
possible. SO | take no chances and
go down after nearly every one he
throws. When three infielders have
a first baseman in whom they have
confidence on account of his ability
TO dig the ball out of the dirt. grab
II from either side, or pull 1t out of
the clouds, they work at big advant-
age. If an infielder has to pick up
ball. steady himself, sight the bag
and throw directly overland to make
sure of getting II where the first sack
or can catch It, such left.hand hitters
as Crawford and Cobb, for instance,
will beat the throw. It's necessary for
a club to have first baseman to-
whom the felders can throw the ball
anywhere within reach, with an as
surance that he will get 1t. Instinct
has great deal to do with getting
low throws that come on the bound.
As an infielder Is getting hold of
grounder | instinctively either raise
or lower my hands to receive the ball.
That Is before the throw. Sometimes
I'm wrong, but you would be sur
priscd to know how often my lunches
are right. Then, too, luck plays big
part"
When does an automobile stop?
That is a queer question to ask, and,
some would say there is no sense in
It, still it is of such Importance that
II took up considerable time Of the
supreme court of Minnesota, and that
court goes on record as deciding the
question.
The case was as follows.
A Mower county motorist got tho
signal to stop from the driver OF n
team, and merely disconnected his
motor, leaving It to run while the ma.
chine waited. A runaway resulted
and the auto driver later appealed
from $500 damage verdict. Tho
lower court held that upon the signal
the operator must stop not only loco.
motion, but the automobile and all its
works. The supreme court doesn't
see It that way. Under the decision
the vehicle is stopped when 1t ceases
TO make progress on the road. The
gasoline still burns and pops, the
smell still rises to heaven and the
| inner wheels whir, but when the
/ fence posts no longer whiz past the
vehicle is stopped.
The Minnesota law In the case
made and provided is section 1877 of
the Revised Statutes, which says:
! "The operator of any such vehicle
automobile or motor cycle) propelled
upon any public highway shall stop
the same on signal from any person
driving horses or mules on the road
until such horses or mules have
passed"
In this case the machine stops
without stopping the machinery;
which is the opposite from most ma,
chinery In everyday use.

CREASES WILL
COST MORE NOW
Trousers Will Probably Be
Pressed Per Leg Instead Of
Per Pair.

Owing to the license tax recently
placed on cleaning, pressing and dyeing
establishments, prices will soon be con-
siderably advanced on several classes
OF goods. according to a well-founded
report. In fact, number of the small
er pressing establishments are plan
ming to go out Of business. finding It
impossible to meet the new conditions
AS usual in case OF high license,
however, the larger places, though COM
planning bitterly of the hardship
meaning the taX-will probably reap
a harvest in the end through the re-
ducton in the number of houses and
the correspondingly increase in trade
for those that stay in business. The

Gus toner, and before long many hall
room youth will probably be sleeping
with his Sunday trousers between the
mattresses in order to preserve the
immaculate crease and avoid paying
by the leg instead of SO much per pair,
as has been the case heretofore.
What Proprietor Says.
When asked as to probable Increase
in prices, the head of a large dyeins
ard cleaning establishment said that
the places pleaned an increase for the
present on small articles only, leaving
their main prices as heretofore.
1--WE have to call for the goods and
deliver them, apd are responsible for
loss and damage" said the proprietor.
"When the tax goes on, ! think our
prices for cleaning gloves and press
ing trousers will so up, although
suits will remain the same, unless
there is some rise on elaborate wo-
mems tailor suits In delicate shades,
which have to be carefully handled,
and which require skilled work
At a pressing club which does the
patching and cleaning for a number
OF young bachelors, the manager stat
ed that he would probably be forced
out of business entirely by the large
tax unless he advanced the prices.

Of Miller's escape. Captain Morgan,
however, does not disturb himself
about such things. Realizing that he
