Here's a little baseball problem
which happened In a Cleveland
New York game the other
day.
New York is one run to the good
and it is getting dark. With no.
body on bases Bill Hinchman, the
Maps big left fielder, knocks a
beautiful long fly to the outfield,
between center and right. He
makes one, two, three bases
then the problem arises for the
man who is coaching at third base.
Should Bill try to stretch 1t to a
homer2 One run will tie the SEQ re,
and give the Maps chance to win.
HemphilI has gathered in the ball
after a long chase and is relaying
1t home.
There is a chance that in the
|relaying home, one of the throws
will take a bad bound. The Maps
ARE not hitting Slow Joe Doyle
we'll. This may be the only chance
to score.
But the grounds are wet and
heavy and Big Bill is a poor mud
no rise, and Is already painting as
he plows along his course.
It's a problem for the coacher
one he has to decide in one sec
|ond.
He takes the chance.
Come on in,'' he shouts In
Hinchman's ear.
Bill tries for home. The throws
are perfect. He is thrown out at
the plate by inches.
Perring, the next man up, dies
ION a bng fly to the outfield. The
next man up Is thrown out at first.
Now lot of people in the grand
stand were ready to criticise the
coacher.
"Bonehead," they said. HE
should have held Hinchman on
third. so that he could have scored
on Perring's out"
Stallings, the New York mana
ger, didn't agree with them.
eff Hinchman had stuck on
third" he Did me after the game.
"our whole policy would have been
changed. Doyle sent In slow ones
to Perring, hoping that If he did
hit the ball, 1t would be an easy
fly to the outfield. With Hinehman
on third, he would have sent fast.
close ones that Perring would have
had to hit inside the diamond"
So there you are.
It's taken five minutes to fig
ure this out and tell you about It.
The coacher had one second to
figure 1t out and decide.
Did he use bad judgment7

BY the good stick work of Mr..

day, Tacoma got in the race with
a chance yet to take the series
from the Seattle leaders.
Kippert started the hitting In
the second round and his smash
developed into a run. In the next
round Tacoma did nothing but In

hit and Kippert came in with a
fine drive to left, which Mike
Lynch booted around until Hurley
was home and Kippert ON second.

: reasonable persuasion and
threats to withdraw patronage
were legal"
The United States supreme
court held to the contrary in the
celebrated hatters' case.
Several weeks ago President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton
university delivered a baecalaure-
ate sermon, in which he charged
that labor was becoming an "un-
profitable servant" was being
standardized" refused to do
more than a fixed amount and
shirked it's duty. The address
was printed in every corner of the
country. Prominent labor men
in the east recently challenged
President Wilson to produce proof
to substantiate his charges. After
some delay Prof. Wilson finally
replied and related several per-
sonal experiences-one where a
glazier refused to finish job aft
er working eight hours. and on
another day he saw, with his own
eyes. brickIayers loafing on a job
and smoking pipes.
This was all the proof that
President Wilson submitted to-
back his charge that I'm some
trades no one is suffered to do
more than the least skillful of his
fellows can do within the hours
allotted to a days labor" 1t is
worth nothing that President Will
sons remarkable, overpowering
and damaging proofs have not
been telegraphed all over the
country.
Prof. Geo. A. Gates, formerly
president of the Pomona (Cal.
college, has returned from trip
of investigation in New Zealand
and Australia. Prof. Gates de-
clares that the limit of the work
ing time in New Zealand is. As
hours per week, and but AZ hours
where great skill and nerve-wreck-
ing work Is necessary. No woman
or boy under Is Is permitted to
do night work, and child labor
is unknown. Prof. Gates watched
employees coming from shops and
factories In Auckland. and says:
mo one that l saw looked jad-
ed and worn, but all appeared hap
by and wholesome, especially the
girls, who were not tired out as
most of our working girls are
when their days work is done, be-
caus ethey have been treated with
kindness and consideration, which
is necessary under the strict la
Dor laws in Australia and New

yEssUp MAKES A STATEMENT.
Gets . Settlement, but viii Los<
About 9A6OO.

In reference to the Houtchens 4
Drumm-Jessup settlement. the idea
10 somewhat prevalent that Mr.. Jes-
sup entered the deal with the inten-
tion of clearing up big sum for
himself. 1t was also stated that the
restitution was complete, and that
Mr.. Jessup would suffer no loss.
which is not quite true. MIR. Jessup
gave out the following facts yester-
day in a few words, which will give
a fair idea of the deal and settlement.
The agents were to receive $500 COM
mission for selling Mr.. Jessups farm,
which he valued at $500. and is
probably worth little more than
that at the present time. Houtchens
& Drumm offered him a trade where
by he could receive that amount for
his farm He says they represented
to him that the McAfee farm was
worth $4,000. and that they had a
cash buyer for 1t at that price. who
had already given them $500 as an
option. Jessup decided his farm fol
the McAfee farm and in addition
gave a mortgage on the McAfee
farm for $1,000. so that he virtually
paid $15,5OO for the McAfee place
lOut OF the $4,000 which the straw
man was to pay the agents. the!
we're to receive their $500 commits
sion. From the remainder. the
$1,000 mortgage was to be paid
of, which would leave Jessup 'bu'
S30O besides the $500 which his
farm was worth. The following set
Element has been made:
Jessup decided back to McAfee the
latter's farm. Jeesup receives
second mortgage for $1,000 upon the
I3s,5OO farm which he owned In thu
first place. 1t was clear when ht
ltraded, but the new owner has plac
ed upon it first mortgage of $500
This last amount represents Jessup'
Iloss, as he must pay Oh that mort
|gage before he owns his farm. ant
will probably have to foreclose t.
do that. The money obtained from
the first mortgage went to McAfee
with the exception Of 5000. whic!
was paid to the agents as commits
sion. McAfee was allowed to keel
the $4,000 as rent for the thirteeI
months which Jessup held McAfee
farm.
