OUR LAST OUTING.

- HE outing last Monday afternoon,
when over 1000 members of our
popular society went to the
baseball game at Wiedenmayer's Park,
showed conclusiyely that the boys and
girls of Newark appreciate the efforts
of THE EVENING STAR to give them
free entertainments during the season,
and, in consequence, Uncle Jack is ar
ranging for more of these delightful
outings.
There is one thing that I want to say
TO you, however, and that is, remember
+. ut all times that you wear a button of
membership in a society which has for
its object the cultivation of the more
generous and kindly spirit in our ma
lures, and that we must never lose
sight Of the fact that the reputation Of
the society is vested in the hands of
each individual member. If any boy
should so far forget himself as to act
roughly at the meetings, he should be
warned by his fellow members so that
everything will be conducted in an or
DERBY and quiet manner. No rough talk
or fighting or taking other members
hats or buttons will be tolerated at any
time. This is a friendly word of warn
Ing, and I hope you will all take it to
heart.
President Charles Warshausky, of the
society, has been empowered to select
ten monitors from among the members,
who will wear distinguishing badges,
and will be empowered to maintain or
der. Their instructions for discipline
must be obeyed.
I will announce the time and place of
the mex outing in this column shortly,
together with the names of the mont
tors appointed. I think it would also be
a good plan to elect a vice-president.
Have you n names to suggest as can
didates for this office? The officers will
hold their positions for six months,
when new lei will be elected. With
best wishes for the prosperity of our
glorious society, yours truly,
UNCLE JACK.

TEDDY, JR., SAILS
1876 MILES IN BIG
ARMY BALLOON
Mrs. LongwOrth Was Listed to
Make Trip, but Changed
Her Mind.

WASHINGTON. April 23.-Theodors
Roosevelt, jr., the Presidents son, has
had his first experience as an %aeronaut,
having assembled from the a V yard
in this city at 1:40 p. m. and landing
four miles from Delaware City, Del, at
$50 p. m. yesterday. He Travelled 1S6
miles in 3 hours and So minutes. Ac-
companied by his fellow sky-travelers,
Captain Chandler, pilot, and Captain
Fitzhugh Lee, the Presidents aide,
young Roosevelt returned to Washing
ton shortly after midnight.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, daughter cf
the President, was to have been one OF
the passengers, but as the immense
bag began to fill and sway she changed
her.mind.
After the balloon landed nea Della
ware City the party proceeded to Will
mington before sending news of their
safety.
The White House, which up to this
time was without advices, was commuf
nicated with and whatever feeling Of
anxiety the long wait had caused the
Roosevelt family was relieved.
An accident was narrowly averted by
the throwing out of ballast after the
balloon went up. There was a trifie too
much wind for comfort when the bal
Dol started.
The balloon is one Of the largest ever
made for the Signal Corps, having a
capacity of $4,000 cubic feet.

NEW YORK, April 23.-"Death to

that by taking vigorously preventive

VOTES PLEDGED TO

New Jerseys Twenty-fonr Votes

Chiefs Claim.
Especial to the Evening start

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2S.-In a
statement given out by the men who
are managing the campaign of Secre-
tary of War William H. Taft for the
Republican nomination for President,
the claim is made that Mr.. Taft has
more than 500 delegates, although only
491 are necessary to a choice. They say
that Mr.. Taft will win the nomination
on the first formal ballot.
Twenty-four votes from New Jersey
are now included among those claimed
by the Taft managers, but the entire
list of delegates is not made known.
The claim was made after a confer-
ence between Secretary Taft, his BROTH
er, Charles p. Taft, and his managers,
In these estimates Arthur I. Vorys,
one of Mr.. Taft's managers, says no
Southern State where there is a con
test is included, thus eliminating
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Ala
bama and South Carolina.
Taft claims, without dispute, North
Carolina, Texas and Tennessee. The
National Committee will probably seat
Taft delegates from Virginia.

Rotten Decision by Umpire
Goehler Gets Gribben
on the Bench.
CLARKSRURe TEAM AHEAD
With No Regular Backstop,
Manager Drumm Then
Leaves Field.

A rotten decision by Umpire Goeh,
Ter In the sixth inning OF the base.
ball game between Clarksburg and
Fairmont at Fainmont yesterday az
ternoon resulted In Catcher Gribben,
of the Clarksburg team. being Dut
out OF the game. and Manager Ferd
Drumm, who was then shy a regular
backstop, forfeited the contest to
Faimont by a score OF 9 to 0, al
though the score stood 6 to In
favor OF the visiting team with all
indications pointing to victory for
the Moguls.
Gribhen was called out at second
by the umpire, but Clarksburg play
ers and many OF those who saw the
game, declared that Crib was safe
by mile. Grlbben went into the
diamond and tried to explain the play
to him, but the umpire refused to lis
ten. Gribben again endeavored to
explain the thing as he came in from
the field and Goehler fined him $40
and ordered him to the bench.
According to the Fainmont Times
and many of those who saw the
game. no man on either team was suf-

During the portion OF the game
played GOehler's decisions were very
bad both on balls and strikes and on
bases. The calling out OF Grtbben
was one Of the officials errors and II
was hardly up to the usually quiet
little catcher to make as much fuss
over the matter. Members of both
teams were getting worse doses than
that very inning.

Inside Work in Nearly
Every Play Nowadays

CHICAGO, Aug. 21-"1nslde base.
bah always has popular fascIna,
ton for the fan, whether he thor.
oughly understands the play on the
field or not. The constant attend.
ant at ball games soon comes to learn
and appreciate many of the fine
points Of the work on the diamond
and what the players are doing OF
trying to do under given conditions
Many Of these inside plays are new
er noticed by the spectators, but
when one is done so openly that ev-
cry one can see 1t. the fans exult and
show their appreciation by loud and
vigorous applause.
Ball players do not as a rule real
lie that the fans do not thoroughly
understand everything they are at
tempting to do on the ball field.
Many times plays come up that look
regular enough to the average fan,
but IN reality contains some peculiar
effort on the part of the Individual

team work OF several of them at one

The Hit and Run Play.
1T has only been within two or
three years that attendants at ball
games have come to understand tho
hit and rum play. For long time
they watch a runner on first appar-
entity attempt to steal second only to
be called back because the batter
fouled the ball. That looked like
pure foolishness to the fan. Why
not let the runner steal and then hit
him home? At that time the hit
and run play was an inside play to
the spectators, but OF late they have
become to understand what the play
ers are attempting to do and today
when such play is pull-ofr they do
not roast the batter for fouling the
ball for they know he is doing the
