NJ 'GUIRE A GREAT
JUDGE OF BATTERS

Jimmy Mcclure, the new manager OF
the Cleveland Maps, was once one OF
the greatest OF catchers. He was a
wonder when he backstopped for
Brooklyn way back in the nineties.
Being good catcher he naturally is
an excellent Judge OF ball players. 1t
has been said OF him that he can tell
the way a batter merely looks over a
ball what kind OF a slugger he is
Jim" has a reputation Of starting
that famous saying OF "he looks over
the ball better than anyone / have
ever come across-but he can't hit
en-"
This was back in 1893 when Chicago
was trying out recruit against Nc
CURES team in the east. This young
ster completely fooled Jimmy" He
came to bat and the first ball pitched
he watched 1t all the way, shook his
head slightly when it drew near and
didn't even move his bat The umpire
called it ball. The next was the same
way, and 1t was ball.
Gee" said Jimmy afterwards that
kid had me guessing. I had always
been learly of that kind of a batter.
who waits until he gets one Just
where he wants it and then slams 1t
over the fence" Well the player got
his base on balls then and a couple
more the same day. The pitcher mind
ed "Jimmy's" signals, and Jimmy"
was afraid to have him cut the plate.
"Jim" Discovers Errors.
On the following day, however,

King Up Against Il.

Cincinnati, Sept. 11.--August Herr
man, chairman OF the National base
ball commission. stated that If John
Killing, the hold-out catcher Of the Chi
cago National league Grub. had played
with his Kansas City team of semi
professionals, against the Logan
Square team OF Chicago, which is said
to contain several ineligible players
that Kings suspension under the
three-year rule appeared inevitable
Herman said:
IF 1t is true that Killing has played
against ineligible players, and the re-
ports from Chicago indicate that he
has done so, things look mighty bad
for the big catcher. He has laid him
self liable to sue. ension from organ
lied baseball for a term of three year.
and l can't see how it will be possible
for him TO evade the sentence.
He violated the rules of the Ma
tional commission and can't hope tc
have his violation overlooked"

Jimmy" determined to give the you'll
the supreme test. Brooklyn had made
five runs in the second inning. and
Mcclure wasn't afraid OF consequences
So he signalled for straight ball
right over the heart OF the plate II
came, and the recruit went through the
same old motions. never made a try
for II. but he surely did look IT over
sweetly" said Mcclure. He famed
four times that day and lasted a week.
HE was one OF the few who had
me bluffed the first day" exclaimed
Mcguire later.
Now are the heydays OF recruit
hunting. The magnates who have
Jagged behind. delaying the selection
of new blood, find themselves with lit
tie to pick from. The wiseacres like
Comiskey and StaIlings and Mack have
picked up a neat little bunch OF likely
material. but the field has been picked
so clean that there's little chance for

Claim Umpire Klein Violated the Con-
stitution Of the National League.
Chicago. Sept. 11.-President Murphy
OF the cubs officially protested the
game Of Tuesday at Pittsburg on the
grounds that Umpire KLEIN had violat-
Ell the constitution of the National
league and asks that the contest be
ordered replayed.
The protest Is based on section ss OF
the constitution, which says any per-
sons proved guilty Of offering, agree
ing or conspiring to cause a game to
result otherwise than on its merits un-
der the playing rules shall forever be
disqualified from acting as umpire or in
any other capacity in the league.
Klein is also attacked under section
40 OF the constitution which forbids
conducting public prejudices to the
best interests of the game.
Sworn statements of the Chicago ball
club players form part of the evidence
submitted.

DENATuRlED BASEBALL.

Percy Whiting in The Atlanta Geor-
gian: Are batters being forced into
ambidexterity?
Perhaps not in the Southern league.
but certainly there is that tendency in
the National and American leagues.
AS 1t stands today, left-hand pitch
ers can usually show up left-hand bat
ters, and the right-hand twirlers can
do as much for the right hand batters.
OF course, southpaw pitcher can't
always prevent southpaw batters from
hitting, but they tend to do so more
than right-hand twirlers.
The result of this has been that the
craftiest of batters are developing the
ability to bat either right or left
handed,
DOME Bush, Of the Detroit team, is
one of the men who has learned to bat
either way. Not long ago he beat
Dolly Gray, the Washington southpaw,
by switching over and batting right
handed against him, though normally
Bush is left -hander. In the game in
question DOME drove in every one OF
Detroit's runs.
Another batter who can lam the ball
from either side OF the plate is Mig
Clarke. Mig can take them from eth
er side of the plate with equal ease and
grace. Other "ambidesterians" are
Germany Schaefer and George Davis.
A few years back men who batted
from either side were rare phenomena.
Now there are several who do It. Each
year the number is increasing. At this
rate, how long win lie be before all
shifty batters will be equally strong
against southpaws and northpaws?
It ought to be an easy matter to learn
to shift sides, provided an early start
is made. Any boy who sets out to learn
should have no trouble, and it ought
to be no great trick for youpng men.
OF course, the old timers will never
learn the trick.
Verify, there is no telling what
baseball is coming to next.
We find ourselves without the least
sympathy with those baseball "purs-
lists" who are trying to abolish the
spit ball, the intentional base on balls
and similar scientific and legitimate
plays. But now comes Elmer Bates,
the Little Old Man of The Cleveland
Press, with the puerile suggestion
that sacrifice hits be abolished Read
this If you don't believe it:
Many baseball men-club owners.
managers and players-are urging the
rule makers of the big leagues to cut
out the sacrifice hit. This agitation
may not amount to anything. but it is
bound to meet with the support of a
large majority of the fans.
There is no doubt whatever that the
sacrifice hit has done more to cut down
the batting that the fans yearn for
than all other causes combined.
It CRATES on the nerves of the fans
to see batters like Lajoie, Cobb and
Speaker called on to sacrifice when
the chances are almost as good that
they will hit safely as they win ad-
vance the runner.
How many, many times in a season
is a star batter asked to sacrifice, only
to pop measly fly to a pitcher or
force the runner.
Sacrifice hitting is scientific ball
playing all right but would not the
game be more manly and sportsman

MARsE 4ENRrs CRITICISMS.

Henry watterson, the veteran edi-
tor Of Louisville. recently sounded "a
note of warning to his fellow news
paper workers. In his address in
Washington he took the sensational
press to task for the publicity given
to divorce scandals, brutal crimes and
private misfortunes. He called atten-
ton to the fact that some newspapers
were wandering from their duties
that reporters were becoming detec-
tives instead of news gatherers.
There is q great deal of truth in
what the great Kentuckian has said.
Some publications have grossly vtoIat-
ed all the original conceptions Of news
paperdom. In the olden days the pa
pers were mere chroniclers of self-evi-
dent facts-and almost as interesting
and readable as obituary sketches. Tho
editorials were argumentative without
any special aptness.
From this extreme publishers rushed
to the yellow stage, which MIR. Waiter
son SO roundly condemns. There Is a
middle ground--a position the, modern
newspaper can properly occupy. II is
this that the better class of publish
ers are seeking.
Any reader Of Mr.. Wattersons edi-
torials through any long period of his
half a century of active service--will
readily see he does not mean that edi-
tors must overlook the acts Of public
raen. National, state and municipal
affairs must be given the widest pub
licity. Graft by officials cannot be
regulated by a suppression of either
editorial comment or the elimination
of the news features
Divorces will not be stopped by the
courts issuing sealed" DEGREES and
holding the hearings in chambers be-
hind closed doors for the favored and
licensed few. No great moral or civic
wrongs will be eradicated by passive
silence. Because some few editors
prostitute their positions-there Is no
reason for a prohibition OF the rights
of the profession to editors who handle
the public and private matters Of their
localities safely and sanely.

HOW TO NIP A COLD OR

To let cold or cough wear itself
out" is both needless and dangerous.
If you will take five minutes and make
UP the simple remedy described below.
you can wipe out cold or cough as
soon as 1t appears. Even deep seated
coughs yield to IL very quickly. A
whole pint OF 1t costs only 81 cents,
but there Is no better remedy at any
price.
Take pint of GRADUATED Sugar, add
" pint of warm water and stir for q
minutes. Put III ounces of Pinex in a
pint bottle and fill up with the Sugar
Syrup. This keeps perfectly and lasts
family a long time. Take a tea
spoonful every one, two or three hours.
The taste Is pleasing.
Use the ingredients as given here.
Granulated sugar makes the best
syrup. None OF the weaker pine pre-
parations will take the place of the
real Pinex Itself, which is the most
valuable concentrated compound OF
Norway White Pine Extract. Your
druggist has 1t or can easily order 1t
Tor you.
This mixture ID also excellent for
whooping cough, bronchitis. chest
pains, etc
Strained honey can be used instead
OF the syrup. and makes q very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.
