MORE SACRIFICES
WILL BE CREDITED

Baseball enthusiasts and players are
discussing the change made by the
joint rules committee at the meeting in
New York whereby a batter is credited
with sacrifice hit on a fly ball that is
caught but results in the scoring Of a
run.
In regard to this rule, it has been
asked what win be done in case a
batted fly ball is dropped but a runner
scores on it.
The rules as adopted covers this. II
specifically says that the batter shall
be given credit for a sacrifice when
one or no one is out and he hits a fly
ball that is caught, but results in a
run being scored. The word Caught"
covers the question. If the ball IS
missed by the fielder there is only one
way to score the play, and that is by
giving the offending player an error.
The new rule in regard to fly balls
will help the average Of a lot of play
ers, especially men who can swat the
ball. 1t win also help the emergency
batters who are sent up simply to hit
the ball in such a way that the runner
will be able to score.
With man on third the batter goes
to the plate intending to make a hit or
drive the ball so far that if it is caught
the runner will be able to score. The
batter succeeds in his effort, but it is
marked against his average on the
other hand the batter goes to the plate
with a man on first. He is instructed
to bunt and turns the trick and is
thrown out but the runner gets credit
for a sacrifice. While the cases are
not Identical. yet the man who hits a
fly ball up against the fence and is re-
tired is just as much entitled to a sac
rifce hit as the player who dumps the
ball in front of the plate and is thrown
out at first.

YOU'LL BE STRONG
If YOU WANT TO
HaCkenSChmidt Tells How
Youth Can Become
Powerful

George Hackenschmidt. the expert
weight-lifter, and wrestler. writing in the
New York World, gives some sound ad-
vice on how to make ones muscles grow
as well as how to become strong.
Hackenschmidt is probably the strong
est man that ever exhibited his power in
public. AS a welght-iifter he can easily
eclipse the performances Of the old-tlme
strong man. Eugene sandow. AS a wrest-
Ter, he has beaten champions outweigh
ing him a hundred pounds-the greatest
giants Of the European circuit. And in
spite Of his enormous muscular power he
has maintained amazing quickness. He is
an expert acrobat as we'll as a wrestler
and weight-llfter
Hackenschmidts measurement shows
that there is something behind his power
besides the necessary nervous energy
Look at them: Height. feet 10 inches;
weight, 2O6 pounds stripped; neck p in
chesi chest 81 inches: waist. 3S inches;
biceps 20 inches; forearm. II inches
thigh, 2S inches; calf 10 inches.
He says: ANY young man can become
strong If he will try. / will not say that
any boy can become as strong as 1 am
no; that wcIld not be quite true. for 1
was naturally strong even when I was
schoolboy. / had big frame. But II I
had not tried hard to become strong
might now be just big and fat.
1.-THE important thing is to wish to be
strong, and to think Of II all the time.
Any one who determines to be strong can
accomplish things that will surprise his
friends
"The explanation is easy. II you desire
to gain in strength and you keep thinking
about 1t you will naturally do the things
that help You. If you pick up something
without thinking your muscles act with
the least possible effort. But II you think
while you are lifting 1t, you consciously
contract your muscles and get more eXer-
else. II you think Of your muscles when
ever you move them you do much more
work and develop them much more. Some
times when ! walk on the street carrying
a paper in my hand I think of my fore
arm and tighten and loosen my grip on
the paper just like a man with gripping
machine in a gymnasium. Sometimes
practice making my muscles jump with
out changing my position. BY thinking OF
one muscle and contracting and loosening
It you can make It grow
"A very important thing Is to put your
whole mind into a muscular effort II you
arc only half determined, there is no
strength; but you must be very deter
mined 1 can always tell at once how
strong my opponent is by his face"

DISCUSS PLANS FOR
ERECTION OF ARMORY
GOVERNORS STAFF MEETS AT
LEWIS CAFE
Proposes to Collect About 100000
and Then Apply to Legislature
for Special Appropriation
of $25o,o0o

There was O big meeting of Southern
California members of Governor Gill
lett's staff at Levys cafe yesterday
afternoon for the discussion of plans
to erect permanent home for the
state militia in Los Angeles, the desire
being to erect an armory that shall
cost not less than $250.000.
The first step in the big undertaking,
1t was agreed, would be that of raising
by subscription about 100000, or its
equivalent in real estate to obtain a
site suitable for an armory. With TINS
fund to work on, the promoters OF the
plan are satisfied they will be in a po-
sition to go before the next legislature
end ask for a $250,000 appropriation for
the building, and that the solons Will
grant the donation.
After obtaining this appropriation the
next step in the program, as discussed
yesterday, will be the organization OF
an entirely new regiment recruited in
side of Los Angeles. This regiment,
however, it is stated, will in no man
ner interfere with the Seventh regi-
ment, rated as the most efiiclent In the
state, which will remain intact. The
creation of the new regiment, accord
ing to General Wankowski, will be al
lowed by the state If Los Angeles can
provide a suitable home for 1t. The
salaries of the companies will total
$1,000 month, which General wan
kowski considers among the benefits
that will inure from the formation of
the regiment and the building of the
armory.
General Wankowski stated yesterday
that the lease on the present. armory
had expired last October, and that the
building simply was being occupied
now by the grace of the landlord. This
armory serves as headquarters for the
First brigade, Seventh regiment, hos
pital. corps, first company signal corps,
troop D cavalry, Seventh division naval
militia. and companies A, G and F of
the Seventh regiment. This works
hardship on many portions of the or
ganization. 1t also Is pointed out that
Los Angeles now occupies prominent
place in National Guard circles.
The state shoot is to take place near
Eastlake park next week. Col. D. A.
Smith, who will have charge of the
California team at the national shoot
at Camp Perry, Ohio. has arrived to
assume charge here as range officer.
He will be followed by thirty militia
marksmen of the north, who Will take
part in the Eastlake shoot.

CITRUS GROWERS
DEMAND TARIFF
COMMITTEE IN CONFERENCE
WITH SENATOR PERKINS
WILL FIGHT ANY ATTEMPT TO
REDUCE DUTY
Protective League Sees Great Blow
to Industry in California
If the Rate Is
Lowered

Citrus fruit growers yesterday took
formal steps in Los Angeles to combat
any reduction Of the tariff on their
products at the coming session of con-
gress by sending the executive COM
mittee of the Citrus Protective league
of California to confer with Senator
George c. Perkins yesterday. the oc-
casion being the latter's visit here.
In the delegation were F. O. Story,
chairman; A. F. Call of Corona, c. c.
Chapman of Fullerton, =. s. Moulton
of Riverside, H. B. Chase of Riverside,
]. Allen Osmun of Whittier, walnut
grower, and A. d. Kendall, secretary.
AS Spokesman Story put 1t, the
Democrats are crying for tariff for
revenue only, which is significant for
California, as among the highest of the
ad valorem items on the list are citrus
fruits, refined sugar and borax. three
of the states big industries.
Senator Perkins explained that since
the reciprocity treaty with Cuba, for
which he was censured, was ratified
five years ago the average imports OF
oranges from the island had averaged
only $5426 a year, equal to the output
of a five-acre orchard annually
Figures furnished by Senator Per-
kins to the delegation showed imports
tof oranges into the United States from
| Cuba, 1903 to 1907, thus:
