FREAK DOUBLE PLAY
Catcher Puts Out Man at Second and
at the Plate.

unique play was made in a base
ball game at Caledonia recently, the
Genesee catcher, Claude Lair, being
responsible. 1t was such a play as
probably was never made in another
contest in the history of baseball and
is worthy or record. In the fourth
inning, after the Caledonia batter had
been retired, Ball reached his base on
an error and McGovern on fielder's
choice. This left first and second
bases occupied. McGoyern took a
large lead, either not realizing that
second was occupied or hoping to ac-
complish a successful double steal.
Lair catching for Genesee, dashed
across the diamond directly toward
McGovern, who could not return to
first base or reach second and ran
him down, tagging him out Mean
while Ball had reached third in safe
ty. No Genesee player had been
thoughtful enough to cover home and
Ball had a clear field ahead of him.
He started to score and Lair, seeing
that ne had no fielder to throw the
ball to, ran across the diamond, ac-
tually running down the Caledonia
man, and catching him about four
feet from the plate.
If there is another instance in base
ball, either professional or amateur
in which a catcher left his position,
chased down two men and accom-
plished a double play unassisted, no
one that saw tne play had any recol-
lection of it. The whole thing was
accomplished in few seconds, and
before the puzzled spectators had
time to realize fully what was going
on. AS the Genesee players came
down the field after the play the gen
erous crowd cheered loud and long
for Lahr's cleverness even though 1t
nad counted against the home team.
This was the feature of the day.

Presidential Expectations.

President Taft made a suggestive re-
mark IN his Yale alumni speech when
he said that IF the Republican party
does not 1--we up TO what is expected n
it, ii win be relegated TO the status Of
her majesty's opposition What is
expected Of the Republican party? OBJ
viously that depends on the point of
view. Mr.. Bryan. from the quiet Of his
study at Falrview. might observe-ve
think he has. in fact. done so-that the
Republican party IS doing precisely what
was expected Of it in repudiaung It's cam
paign pledges and revising the tariff up-
ward. If the whole Roosevelt programme
Of corporate regulation should 90 bv the
board. Mr.. Bryan and his friends would
not be surprised. for that is about what
they expected would happen. Should il
turn out that the Republican party had
gone back to its old ways, had renewed
its former alliance with predatory wealth
which was broken by Roosevelt. and had
helped 20 create fictitious prosperity ov
the grant Of special privileges. that is
also what a great many people expect
IF speculative enterprise and monopolfstic
adventure should be encouraged bv
further Republican legislation. that out
come would not disappoint some observ-
ers OF the trend Of events.
But what does Mr.. Taft expect OF the
Republican party? Going back to his
campaign speeches. we find therein ex-
Sressed the main heads Of a progressive
political policy. The tariff was 10 he

ty--reform Of known abuses And that
is what the plain people Of this nation
expect.
Is It what the Interests expect? Is It
what the dominant legislative forces OF
the Republican party intend? These
have already determined that there shall
not be such a revision Of the tarit as
wss pledged during the Presidential
campaign. They have endeavored 10 dis
credit Mr. Tafts corporation tax plan,
and favor an income tax amendment to
the Constitution only because they feel
pretty sure that It viii never be ratified.
Doubtless It was this sort OF thing at
which Mr.. Taft was limiting at Yale.
What he expects Of the Republican
party and what other Republican leaders
propose may be radically different
II is a situation that calls for plain
speaking, vigorous action, and full con-
hdence in the efficacy OF an aroused

Impaneling the Jury.

San Francisco the other day, Judge Law

'TheTe must BE- something wrong in the laws Of

There IS something radically wrong
when such a state Of things obtain as

Senate Vote on COrpors,len Tsr.

Standing firmly for a revision OF the
tariff in keeping with the pledges Of
the Republican party and with the
righteous demands Of the American peo-
plea revision downward-the insurgents.
sO-ealled, Of the Senate have fought a
good fight and earned the plaudits OF
the country. Their record Of resistance
has been consistent and patriotic. and
viii endure TO their credit and honor.
This. a. any rate. Is our opinion.
But these Republican insurgents in vot-
ing against the administration.s excise
tax plaza measure put forward by
President Taft. not by Chairman AIdrich
have, we are inclined 20 think. greatly
marred an otherwise fine record. and
placed themselves in a position more or
less untenable. Their action would really
appear to have been prompted by pioue
rather than fixed convictions that
the proposed tax IS incquitable. onerous.
or unwise- Far more logical. as We
view the case, was the course of those
Democrats who. having steadfastly in
sisted upon the income tax. and seeing
failure ahead. accepted the excise tax
as the best available alternative. and
ceased splitting straws when the vote
was taken.
This corporation tax measure. however
it may he subject TO criticism as a rev.
enue-raising plan, undoubtedly involves a
most meritorious principle and viii surely
make for the betterment Of all corporate
interests. II means publlcity-a thing
that every honest corporation invites

which the exieencies Of the day and
time demand. It is legislation that win
rebound TO the glory Of the Taft ad-
mlnistratiOn, and be approved by the
people.
II IS true. incidentally. as We have
heretofore said. that it will do much 70
take the curse of a most unsatisfactory

Novel Saloon Regnlations

The Chicago Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton has promulgated a series OF rules Of
conduct that viii be OF interest 20 all
students of the social side Of the saloon
problem. The rules are these:
TO obey al ordinances
To cease serving drinks % women at public bars
TO stop all forns Of gambling whatever on sa-
loon premises.
To exclude all indecent pietures or adrertssnents
from saloons
TO drive away all disorderly persons and Ioafsrs
TO refuse 70 sen drinks 70 intoxicated persons
or 10 known fnobriates. or % minors
Now. If these rules should actually be
enforced by the saloon keepers of Chi
cago, or Of any city, the men in that
business would soon cease TO complain
about what they deem unreasonable legis-
lation. II no one violated ordinances.
there would be no excuse for police IN
reference, and the retail liquor business
would be rid Of at least some stigma.
But the practical difficulty lies with
the one saloon keeper IN ten who viii
violate the rules for the sake OF tenn
pOrary advantage. Such Is the tendency
Of competition. The well-meaning. 10
keep their trade. would have to break
the rules also. Hence. n this apparently
attractive plan is 10 succeed. the organ
lied dealers viii have to assume the
task OF protecting the law observers
against the Iawbreakers. II appeal and
example viii not avail. they viii have
to proceed to legal action. That will
