In the Bishops Carriage

The press dispatches of June
18th contained an unpleasant bit
of news involving the personal
safety of Bishop E.. w. Lamp
ton, of the A. M. E. Church,
and the dignity of all religious
organization or conviction among
colored people. The Bishops
home is in Greenville, Miss, and
in the course of some ordinary
business transaction on the date
mentioned, an ordinary telephone
operator, addressed the Bishops
daughter, an Oberlin college girl,
in the disrespectful manner com
mon to Southern men of the
cracker type. The Bishop de-
manded that his daughter be adj
dressed as Miss" like any other
respectable young woman would
be addressed, and the more in
dignant cracker, :" resenting
this demand, spread the news
over the town, whose offended
white population got together in
a quickly called meeting and
framed notice to the Bishop,
giving his and his family five
hours to get out of Greenville,
with threat of lynching if he
failed to heed the notice. With
in the time limited the Bishop
and his daughter fled the town
taking a train for Ohio. I'm
doubtedly the Bishop thus saved
his life and that of his daughter,
and reduced the disgrace of the
town of Greenville one degree,
but the peculiar character of the
situation arouses regret that ev-
en- in the face of so grave a dan
ger, the Bishop did not stand his
ground. What is the use of be-
ing a bishop if you cannot be a
man? To voluntarily choose
death in vindication of religious
dignity may seem foolish to some

Hundreds of inquiries are
being made as to the treat
ment accorded Afro Ameri-
cans on the grounds of the A.
Y. P. Exposition. while it is
impossible to make personal
replies to all such inquiries
THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is
in position to state for the
benefit of such persons that
the Negro fares just as well as
the white man on the grounds
In most of the expositions that
have been held in this country
there is no denying the fact
the black man was discrimin-
ated against, but that is nos
true of the Seattle Expositio5
The managers and the citizen;
desire to make the Big ShoWaU
success and all propose to Sc
that every visitor is given a
square deal. There are about
200 Afro-Americans employed
on the grounds and if they are
not being accorded proper
treatment, they are keeping
quiet about it, and black folk
do not do that way very long.
Seattle does not do things by
halves and if you feel like
coming to see the show Seattle
will welcome you.
How about accommodations
in the city? There will be no
more trouble about that than
your reception on the grounds
Thus far we have heard none
Of the larger and more expen-
siye hotels closing their doors

Tut out the error column.

Cut out the error column.
This is the suggestion OF Fred Ten
ney, famous first baseman, once man
ager of the Boston National league
club and now with the New York
Giants.
By the elimination of this column in
the tabulated score, with the exception
of wild throws on which base runners
advance an extra base, this veteran
believes than another step forward
would be made. His idea, when care
fully considered. presents conditions
that are worthy Of thought.
How many times are batters rob-
bed of what are almost sure base
hits?" says Tenney. This is especial
ly true in line drives to the infielders.
No great credit is due the infielder for
getting these balls, as rule. for they
are shot straight at him. OF course,
there are exceptions, as there are to
almost everything, but that is the rule.
AS a matter of fact the batsman is al
most entitled to hit. Surely he hit
the pitcher hard enough to get one,
but the luck of the game. that cuts
such an important figure in baseball.

him.
$50 figure that If the error column.
so far as fumbled balls or bad throws
to baseman are concerned. was elm
mated. making everything a hit. it
would only just about even up for
those infield line drives that the bat
ter loses because the intielder happens
to be right in front of lard-hit ball
driven straight into his hands.
Naturally the scoring Of a felder's
choice would remain just as it is to-
day, for the batsman is not entitled
to hit where the infielder makes the
play on some other base-runner when
the batsman could have been thrown
out at first. Again. there must be some
way of scoring extra bases taken by a
runner on a bad throw. For that
would leave the error column in the
box score. but it would represent wild
throws, not fumbled balls, or bad
throw to first on batted ball.
This would naturally make some
difference in the batting ard fielding
averages of the players. but l don't
think it would boost any batsman very
much, while it would take away that
excuse for a fielder shirking a hard

chance for fear he might be penalized
for a misplay. There are some such
men playing the game, you know,
though one of that kind is never
high-class performer
1T wouldn't take long for those who
are watching the batting averages
closely to figure out the difference this
change would make in the hitting of a
player. And, say. why should bat
ter be penalized by having hit taken
away from him when he manages to
hit the ball in such way that an in
fielder muses. it up? Rather, think,
to do justice on all sides. base hit
should be credited
mo one who follows baseball close
ly ever thinks of judging a players
ability in the field by the official field
ing averages We all know well that
good player goes after everything
within reach, never fearing possible
error through tumble or bad throw
to first. He is there to tr-- to make
the play. to get everything he can get
his hands on, and if he shirks because
he is afraid of that error, then he
isn't going to get lots of balls that he
might have handled cleanly and gone
through with for put-out. The pres
ent fielding averages are practically
worthless, for it is almost always that
the best players have the lowest per-
centage, while those who don't or
can't cover much ground get away
with the fewest errors and, therefore,
are at the top in the averages. Hence,
in picking young ball players. scouts
judge by what they see them do. not
| by what they read in the fielding av-
erages.
| Il believe that such a change in the
scoring rules would make good ball
players OF some of the poorer ones.
and that it would make still better
performers of the best of them. To
me it looks as though it would be a
step in the right direction. keeping
pace with the rapid advances now be-
ing made in baseball. No one would
be hurt, while both batsmen and field
ers would be benefited
