BR|TONS DESIRE REFORM IN
 TARIFF

LONDON, Aug. 7-The yexed ques- ton of whether the House of Lords would interfere with the puget, which action .he radicals declare would un- constitutional, appears settled by the pronouncement of Lord Landsdowne, leader of the opposition in the house of Lords tonight, declaring his be- lief the working classes desired tariff reforms and not the taxation of capi- tai ad appropriation property.
 Lord Landsdowne suggested that the House of Commons may no longer represent the will of the people.
 The House of Lords" he declared recognizes that the will of the people must prevail but demands that the people of the country be given full and sufficient opportunity to express that will and with a full and sufficient knowledge of the subject.

stationary object. No sportsman ever made prettier shot at bird on the wing than Long did that afternoon. When it is considered that shortstops usually throw at a man standing on a base. Long's judgment in gauging just how far ahead of the animal he was to throw in order to make the "kill' was really wonderful.
 Throwing at an object in the air is one of the hardest feats, for looking up at the sky when taking aim is much harder than when player has the grandstand or the bleachers for q background Last spring Jim Della hanty gave an exhibition of clever throwing Columbia park, in Phila- delphia.
 A foul ball wedged into the screen on top of the grandstand over the visiting players bench. Delahanty picked up an old ball and threw it against the screen. missing the object aimed at by a yard. This one test, though, was enough for him to get the gauge. On the second attemnt Delahanty let the ball go with all his might, and it not only struck the i'm prisoned "horsehide," but also landed with such force that the latter was driven clean through the screen.
 One thing about the throwing in baseball that foreigners can't under stand is why the players, in getting the bail to the plate from the outfield, almost invariably throw it low and make it strike the ground a yard or so in front of the plate. The baseball players claim that ball thrown on the line and made to shoot" of the ground will reach the catcher quicker that a ball thrown to him on the fly.
 Some years ago there was a dispo- sition to dispute this theory, but the general practice of the strong-arm players in making the ball shoot of the ground proves that they believe their idea is correct. Round house" throws, those loop-the-ioop affairs which weak-armed outfielders have to resort to, seldom catch base runner. while the low, ground-bumping throws do in almost every game.

 GAME FROM
 B|SbEE
Special to Review.)

ELI PASo, Aug. 7.-El Paso defeated Bisbee this afternoon by the score of 6 to f, in game which the visitors lost in the third inning by couple of errors and general ragged playing. During the remainder of the galne both sides played fast ball.
 The fielding of Graham, the former Fl Paso player. signed today by Bis bee. was the star feature. In the sey- enth inning his running catch of Backus' long fly was brilliant piecs of work. He made another specta:a- uiar catch in the eighth.
 Bisbee started the game like win ners and pounded Pitcher Mason ou, of the box, scoring three runs Wiley was put in and held Bisbee down to one run, which came in the seventh. when Bisbee took spurt.

One thing about baseball that as- tonishes foreigners more than any thing else is the remarkable accuracy of the throwing. This is especially true of those who have played cricket. The batting and the catching and stopping of balls is not nearly so inn pressive to them as the way the play CTS shoot the ball around the diamond with the unerring aim of rife shot
 The reason for this is probably be- cause the foreigners can not get the knack of throwing down as the Ameri- cans do. An incident at Philadelphia park few years ago will illustrate what baseball player can do in the throwing line.

During the game there came cry from Hamilton. who was seen ex- citedly pointing to an object which was dashing across the ground to- ward the fiagpole in deep center field. The scooting object was rat Long was standing in his position at short stop with the ball in his hand. Her. man heard Hamilton's cry. wheeled around. took one glance at the rat running across the field. gauged the direction of it's flight without the loss of a second and let the ball go. The ball hit the rat and there was one less rodent in the world.

 In an interview here Mr. Cherry says he has nothing to give to the pub lie. He said his wife left Saturday ev- ening, and since that time he has not been in the city. He would not ac- init that she had gone where he dii not know.
 Haxton has been twice married, lls present wife residing in the city. He has been at the head of the Dave iss- tagne garage for several months.

In 1901 221 home runs were made In the National league: in 1908 there
 were only l51. In 1902 in the Ameri-
 ;an league there were 259 home runs;
 in 1908 there were only Ills. In 1902 the National league had just been
 raided of many of its hardest hitters
 by the American league and made
 only s6 home runs; so for purposes
 of comparison between the home run
 hitting of the present day and that |, Of the early 1900s, 1901 in the Nation
 al league and 1902 in the American
 league are taken. The year 1902
 the fact that the National league was
 suffering just then from the depletion
 in its ranks of sluggers caused by
 American league inroads
 The point is that the drives to the boundaries for the entire circuit are
 not as frequent by a good deal as they were seven or eight years ago. The records will show a falling on in
 number of home runs, both collective ing decadence in the making of the stalwart drives which send the batter clear around?
 Different experts give different req sons. One of them attributes the fall ing of to the advent of the foul strike rule and the spitball, saying these 1 measures tend to discourage a bats I man from taking the free. unre- strained swing that he would did he 1 not have strikes charged to him when he fouls the ball. Another says it is the different construction of grounds. While there may be reason in any of the foregoing explanations, it is l probable that the scientific develop ] ment of the game from year to year | has had not little to do with the cur |! tailing of home runs. No less an au- 1 thority than John McGraw, who is as keen a student of every angle of
 baseball as there is, says for one thing that the style of batting has | changed. Eaters nowadays go to the I plate less with an idea of getting in | punishing wallop than with study ing and scheming with view to hit | ting safely rather than hitting far. ! They are governed more by the as- rects and phases of the game than ' they used to be. Team work, the hit ! and run and sacrifice are mors to be
 cS,sidered.
 McGraw also thinks the pitcIers of ! the present study the batters more | carefully than did their predecessors 1 ard. suiting tLe pitching to the indi-
 yidual batsmen, increase the effective ness of the pitching. The foul strike rule. he thinks. too. tends to decrease l the number of home runs and the con- | struction of playing fields may bear on the subject. All of which is in line with the theory that scientific devel-
 opment of the game is the main in | fluence.
 l However. whatever may be the mer-
 its of theories, there are facts regard ing home runs since the existence of
 the two present big leagues which furnish palatable food for the fan. A
 confirmed statistician could take the 1 subject and explore it to the end of his days and tire of the study.
