SEMIPRO PLAYERS SHOULD
TRY MORE INSIDE WORK

1t is said that he has been in the game
Tor twenty years. He has Archie
Daley beaten by a year, for the Wat
sessing man has only been playing
nineteen years. A short time for both?
Maybe Eddie Gilroy. Of great fame
twelve or more years ago as the Or
ange A. c. pitcher when Phil King,
Mike Leonard and Roy Thomas were
playing in the suburbs, did moi make
good his crack that he could still pitch
a good game. He went to Rutherford
Sunday with the o. n. r. crowd and.
trimmed the Independents by a score
of 7 to 0. He gave them only three
hits. Body motion pitching is respon-
sible for the resurrection, according to
the old timer.
Stoney Machette almost got away
with a no-hit game in Kearny Sunday.
One hit was recorded against him, al
though some of the fans said that
should not have been counted.
/ am told that Bloomfield and Cald-
we'll will start a series in the near
future.
Tommy Washington. who plays on
several of the negro teams in this vi
entity, Is a valuable player. He Is
comical, too. At the Valley Sunday
he created a great deal of amusement
by arranging his baseball trousers like
a pair of hod-carrier's bluejeans. He

excepting pitcher.

Don't Let First Ball Go by if
1t Is a Good One,
Warns Duffy.
BY EDWARD P. DUFFY.

The longer We live the more we learn.
This applies in baseball as well as real
life. In this connection today l am
going to say something about inside
baseball, in the hope that some of the
players and local managers will be re-
warded by reading this. There are two
things that are in my mine now on
this subject-the faults of letting pass
the first ball when 1t is over the pan
and not playing the bunting am and
the hit-and-run for all both are worth.
l think more games would be won by
the team that systematizes these plays,
like the professionals do. Therefore, the
reason for discussing this phase of
baseball is patent.
There nay be an excuse for letting by
the first ball when it is good, IL a run
ner is On first base with one or two out
and a team needs the run that could be
scored if the nan were on second when
a hit was made. But when a mar is
starting off an inning and the pitcher
cuts the. pan with n l think 1t is
policy then to hit the ball, If possible.
the same as If 1t would be the third
strike. You never see a man fet a good
one go by when he is in a hole. Why?
Because he wants to hit it. Doesn't he
want to hit Just as much IL it is the
first ball? Then, again, in these days
of the foul-strike rule, the first ball
pitched, IL a strike, and the second, If
a foul, puts a batter in a bad position,
three times out of five causing his out.
The simple rule governing this, to my
mind, seems to be this: A batter is at
the plate to hit the ball when a ball
to his liking, no matter when.
The hit-and-run game has many ad-
vantages n some drawbacks. The
drawbacks come from taking the
chance. Chances in baseball, however,
are excusable all the time. Say, for
instance, there is a man on first. The
batter signals the baserunner on first
hat he Is going to hit. Off goes the
runner at the start of the pitchers
motion. II the batter hits the ball the
runner Is too close to second to be
ffelded out In case of an infield hit,
and while the batter may be fielded out
at first the runner has an ven chance
to make third base. There Is the ad-
vantage. If the hit be a good clean
single a speedy ~baserunner who is on
his toes has a chance to score on it.
The Tiger A. c. of Vailsburg, all
young fellows, has some promising ma
terial on its roster. In Kelly, the short
stop, and LitZenbauer, an outfielder,
the team derives great strength. With
another years experience both of these
boys will be mong the best semi
pros. Litz Is a corking fielder, n
Kelly Is a fast shortstop who can hit.

The DAYS EVENTS

Early in the day the battle over!
the platform had occupied the close!
attention of the delegates and spec:
tators. The platform as framed by
the committee on resolutions was
read by its chairman, Senator Hop
kins of Illinois, while the minority
representative, rejecting the views
of the supporters Of Senator LaFol-
lette, was presented by Congress-
man Cooper of Wisconsin. It was
on the one hand s1edge hammer
blows Of Wisconsin men against COM
binations and monopoly and on the
other hand the warning Of Senator
Hopkins against the socialistic doc
trines of Wisconsin.
Platform Adopted.
The platform was adopted by an
Overwhelming vote, after many sep
arate planks in the Wisconsin plan
had been buried under adverse votes.
It was not until four hours had
been spent over, the platform that
the convention was ready to proceed
with the nominating speeches for
president.
Cannon Named First.
First came the nomination of Can
non by Representative Boutell Of IL
linois, seconded by Representative
Fordney Of Michigan, which awaken
ed a welcoming yell for the "grand
old man. Of Illinois.
Then Fairbanks.
The nominating speech for Fair
banks by Governor Hanley Of In
diana, was made amid intense con-
fusion and constant Interruption.
Smartig under these discourtesies
toward the governor, Mayor Book
walter of Indianapolis, began his
speech seconding the nomination Of
Fairbanks with cutting allusion on
the sssteam roller" which was crush
ing out all opposition.

The convention gave an enthusias.
tic welcome to the name of Hughes
as General Woodford presented the
goyerner's candidacy in fervent
words.
Negroes Tribute to Foraker.

placed in nomination by Judge g.
b. Mccoy Of Ohio, and seconded by

ment of all who toll. The Republican
party recognizes the special needs 3of|
wage workers generally, for their well
being means the well being of all. But
more important than all other consid-
ierations is that of good citizenship,
and we especially stand for the needs
of every American whatever his oc-l
cupation in his capacity as a self-re-
specting citizen.
Rural Delivery.
Free rural mail delivery was estab-
lished over earnest Democratic oppo.
sition- lit now reaches millions Of our
citizens, and we favor its extension
until every community in the land re-.
ceives the full benefits Of the postal
service. We recognize the social and
economical advantages of good coun-
try roads, maintained more and more
largely at public expense and less AMI
less at the expense of the abutting
owners. In this work we recommend
the growing factors of state aid and
believe in such national assistance as
can be appropriately rendered.
Natural Resources.
We indorse the movement inaugur-
ated by the president for the co
operative conservation of natural re-
sources; we favor the reservation Of
the White mountains and Appalachian
forests; we approve all measures to
prevent the. waste of timber and COM
mend the work now going on for the
reclamation of arid lands
The conspicuous contributions of
American statesmanship to the great
cause of international peace SO sig
nally advocated in The Hague con-
ference are an occasion for just pride
and qualification. At the last session
of the senate of the United States,
eleven Hague conventions were rati-
fed, establishing the rights Of neu-
trails, laws OF war on land, restrictions
of submarine mines, limiting of force
for the collection of contractual debts,
governing the opening of hostilities,
extending the application of Geneva
principles and in many ways lessen
ing the evils Of war and promoting
the peaceful settlement of interna-
tional controversies.
Upon this platform Of principles
and purposes, reaffirming our adher-
ence to every Republican doctrine pro.
claimed since the birth of the party,
we go before the country asking the
support, not only Of those who have
| acted with us heretofore, but of ali
our fellow citizens, who, regardless OF
| past political differences, unite in the
desire to maintain the policies, per
petuate the blessings and make Sc
cure the achievements of a greater
America.

women and children and later the em.

The stump problem has probably been

DONATIONS FOR FIRE
ALARM BELL

The Pilot has been authorized by the
Whitefish Volunteer. Fire department to
give space in the paper to subscription
column, for the purpose of raising funds
to secure fire alarm bell, to be put up
at the fire hall.
At the last meeting OF the department
q number of the members reported that
they had had expressions Of opinion
from many of the property owners os the
town favoring the raising of fund to
purchase fire bell, and that all had
signifed their willingness to contribute
to such a fund.
That An adequate alarm is needed
there is no question, and it should be
secured if possible, in order to secure full
fire protection, but the department did
not feel like going to property owners
personally for subscriptions, realizing
that the subscription proposition in
Whitetish has already been worked tc
about the limit In view Of the fact,
however, that so many people have ex-
pressed desire to contribute to such .
fund, it was decided to handle the mat
ter in this way.
Anybody desiring to aid in securing I
bell is requested to leave their subscrip
ton at The Pilot Office, and list of al
donors to the fund will be published
and run in the paper until sufficien
funds have been secured, or until the de
partment is convinced that the propert.
owners are nos sufficiently interested t
pay for bell.
The department would like to rails
, about $3.50, in order to have none
enough to pay for the bell desired, and t
meet the expense of erecting bell towe
at the fire hall and placing the bell.
