Butchery in baseball kneep up,
as 1t will as long as the present
treacherous spikes are used. Tyrus
Cobb, chief spiker Of the American
league, just scored another victim
in little Barry of the Athletics.
But there are two men-and men
who will have something to say
about it-who have vowed to drive
the spike out of baseball. They
are Big Ban Johnson of the Amer
lean league, and President John A.
Heydler of the National league.
When Cobb last spiked Baker,
Johnson rumbled out a reprimand,
and now Heydler tells his feeling
in the matter.
81 honestly believe" he said, at
Pittsburg, that there isn't a player
in the National league who would
spike another deliberately. Base
ball is not like football. Here are
men who have club investments up
into six figures, and an injury to
one of the star players might cut
into the receipts of the game.
Spikes are dangerous for those
who use them also, as many play
ers are injured by their digging too
deeply into the soft ground or
catching into the bases, thereby
causing the runner to turn his an
kle and get serious sprain."
There have been several attempts
made to change to other devices to
prevent slipping, although the pres
ent spike does not eliminate the
trouble in picking up a bunt on wet
ground.
There was an invention of a
chain to cover the spike, and also a
small shield in front, but the play
ers said they both got clogged in
wet ground.
Il intend to make the matter a
subject requiring legislation in my

(By United PresS.)

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Sept
27.-Residents of this city are
thinking twice before deciding to
pass in their tickets admitting
them to the local grave yard. One
reason is that the cemetery is
nearly filled and the other is that
two lots which remain vacant have
so increased in value that the hold
ings rival the front foot price of
business property
The old inhabitants, who have
fondly hoped to lie asleep in the
city cemetery, have come to the
conclusion that it's no use to die.
The city council has been asked
to secure additional ground.
