THREE MONTHS EXPERIENCE
OF COMMISSION GOVERNMENT

The city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. has
had three months experience under
the Commission form of government.
The real thing not a nakeshift form.
and here Is what the people of that
city think of II. as given in the Kan
sas City Star:
Three months ago the eyes of ev-
cry other city in Okla. were upon this
place. Tulsa inaugurated the comSnis-
sion form OF government with a corps
of officials elected on a non-partisan
ticket. Ever since Tulsa had been
city 1t had been governed under the
aldermanic system. and the change
from the aldermanic 60 the more nod
ern commission form of government
was the result of a demand for an
economic business-like administration
of the city's affairs with partisan po-
litics barred. which would make the
credit of the city equal to that of 9TH
er cities of the country.
In short, Tulsa would eventually
have gone bankrupt under the old
form of government. Instead of suf-
ficient revenue from the usual sources
being provided to administer the city
government 1t had become necessary
the last three years to supplement
this supply of revenue by bond issues.
City warrants were practically worth
less.
Had TO Borrow from Gambler.
II a person had a claim. say of 500
against the city. il was customary
TO issue the creditor a warrant for
$40. as he would have to carry this
warrant six months or a year in all
probability II he did not care 10 scalp
ii at ruinous rate of interest. Upon
the fact of these warrants the city
paid 6 per cent interest and upon the
actual amount of the debt between Is
and 20 per cent. To illustrate, the
straits to which Tulsa was driven in
the school year of 19O7-0S. Dick Boi
den. proprietor of the biggest gamb-
ling house here "staked" the city TO
the amount of $25.O00 upon which he
drew is per cent to help carry on
the city schools.
No sooner had the first legislature
enacted a law which provided for
special charters in cities of the first
for a commission charter, modelled
Oh me 6dlNtStOn pidu
Soon a proposition as to whether
the city would adopt a special char
ter was put to a vote of the people.
II carried by large majority. A
commission charter was then drafted
which provided for only six elective
officials. mayor. four commissioners
and city auditor. To these six officials
was 10 be entrusted the administra-
tion of the affairs of the city, with a
proviso in the charter that any or all
of them could be recalled for nal4ea-
sance in Office upon petition signed by
35 per cent of the voters.
The charter was put to a vote of
the people July of last year and 1t
carried.
For months Governor Haskell with

SPnlNTING ABILITY OF TIM
HURST MADE HIM FAMOUS
Former American League Umpire Has
Long Record as Player and
Basestealer.

The exit of Tim Hurst as an umpire
from the American league, for time
at least, brings to mind that the pu-
gilistically inclined arbiter is really
one of the oldest men in point of con-
tinuous service who had been con-
nected with either of the major
leagues. Tim started as a ball player
at least a quarter of a century ago.
perhaps longer. He was not a partic-
ularly brilliant star at the ball-tossing
act, but he could run. In fact, he was
a sprinter of no mean ability, being
professional runner, and therein lay
his worth to the club of which he was
a member.
Tim and Jack Stivetts, the once ia.
nous twirler of the Boston National
league team, were boys together at
Ashland, Pa. They went to school
together when they were not playing
hockey" History states that they, as
youths, picked slate together in the
coal breakers.
Early in the SOS the baseball fever
swept throughout the anthracite fields
famous Tri-County League was
formed. The national sport was so
popular that when there was to be
game the mines in the vicinity would
mot work. because the coal diggers,
the helpers and the slate pickerS
would knock off at noon in order to be
early arrivals at the scene of the dia-
4c;e for
the fray to commence.
Our friend Tim was utilized in the
field, where his sprinting abilities
were useful in chasing down flies,
while his team-Ashland was on the
defense. But it was while he and his
-ballists were at the bat that
Tins nimbleness of foot stood his
club in good stead. In those days it
was permissible for batter to have
a substitute runner to even cover the
distance from the plate to first base.
The captain of the team had the right
to select the substitute runner at all
times without even getting the ap-
prevail of the captain of the opposing
club. Thus Tim was constantly doing
the dashing along the lines, and it is
recorded in many of the old score
books, which are held as treasures in
the coal regions, that the man who
has since earned wide reputation as
an umpire pilfered bases with dar-
ing that would make the present-day
fan sit up and take notice.
1t was no uncommon thing for him
to Immediately run for another bat
ter as soon as he had completed the
circuit of the bases for some other
chap for whom he had been success
full in dashing down to first in safety
on a hit that would have been a sure
out for a runner of ordinary speed.
Tim was such a valuable asset to the
Ashland club that his fame spread,
and he drifted into the National
league, and has stayed there intermit-
tently since.

BASKETBALL RULES CHANGED
Recent Revision Forbids "DribbIing''
of the Sphere and Eliminates
Tricky Throws.

Deciding that several changes were
necessary in the code of basketball to
make the intercollegiate rules elias
tic enough to permit a more interest
ing game, the committee has made
about dozen changes.
The practice of "dribbling" up to the
basket and taking a step to shoot for
a basket is now forbidden under the
new rules. Provision is made for the
contestant catching the ball on the
run. 1t will then be up to the referee
to use his judgment and give the play
er a chance to slow up.
To avoid the scheme of tricky play
er to deliberately throw the ball
against a wall so that it will carom
back to him or one of his team mates,
the new rules makes the ball dead"
when is it thrown. The new rules per-
nit glass background for the baskets
as in the National A. A. u. rules. Mere
ly touching the line makes the bali
"Out of bounds" so there no longer will
be a dispute about the players foot
or any part of his person being across
the line. The makers of official bas-
ketball will have to change their ma
chinery a little, as under the new
rules the weight must be from "A to
% ounces, whereas, under the old
rules they were to weigh from Is to
20 ounces.
The referee may call fouls on all
the players while the umpire may call
fouls on only the eight who are out Of
the scrimmage for the ball. This is
intended to reduce the possibility of
players other than those struggling for
the ball to commit a foul.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1909-09-29

to wait while the ball is coming out
to him. He has to figure what effect
the wind may have on it, and his
throw must be long and accurate.
"a little while ago the utility man
was looked on as a substitute, per
son of no great value to team. Now
adays, however, things have changed.
Now he is a necessary requirement
to a team. Managers to-day are on
the lookout for good utility men as
we'll as for star players.
"The baseball public, too, is begin
ming to know the value of the utility
man. He is now coming to be a sort
of a popular hero, as is the pitcher
or the reliable pinch hitter. His
work is cheered. Friendly yells greet
his appearance on the field and his
failures are allowed for.
MANY players whose names are
now on the head lines have advanced
from the utility ranks, and should all
the one-time utility men be suddenly
wiped from the baseball slate there
would be left a ragged row of names,
