BASEBALL SPIKES
DEADLY WEAPON

NEW YORK, oct. 14.-NeXt time
you are at n of the big league
games and see the catcher trying to
put out d base runne who comes
tearing in from third to the home
plate, possibly with the winning run,
don't leave the grounds so greatly en-
Unused with the spectacular effect and
result of the game. If you faced such
a missile hurled as from a catapult,

bring himself into collision with the
spikes. Base runners have the right
of-Way on the line. and the baseman as
we'll as the catcher block a run at
their own risk.
For Is years the matter of eliminat-
ing the spikes, finding a substitute, or
framing the rules, SO as to reduce the
danger of spikinG players to a mini
num-, has been aSitated by league rule
makers. This ear at the National
league meeting in December, President
Heydler will make the matter a
! special feature of his report and ask
, for some action.
"The one thing 1 cannot understand"
said President Heydler the other day,
lis why the club OUners themselves
have so long neglected to take some
action on this matter in view of the
fact that more injuries are caused by
spikes than any othes. Here are men
up into six figures, and an injury to
one of the star players may not only
ncapacitate him from the game ror
weeks or possibly forever. but weak
ened through the loss Of such a player
the club may fall rapidly in the per-
centage column and the gate receipts
fall in a corresponding ratio.
Not Deliberate, But

is q player IN the National league who
would deliberately spike another
player for the purpose of putting him
out Of the game. It's true that some

Indian, Whitworth a one Of the
greatest halfbacks in h west. Payne
played a remarkable game Saturday.
Three minutes after the whistle blew
he scored WhitwOrth's first touch
down, after making repeated gains
through the L. P. S. line. He carries
the ball nicely, gets through a spotted
hole as pretty as any player ever die,
stepping over the opposing llnemen
and lodging tackles with great accur-
acy, and in lending interference Payne
is in a class by himself. Many times
in Saturdays game he made the way
for teammates carrying his men
through frequently for long gains
Once in the second half Payne inter-
cepted a quarterback kick which had
been partly blocked n he ran the
ball back to within five yards of the
coal line.

CORVALLIS, Oct. I3.-Last week
wrought very little change in the foot
ball situation at the o. A. c. Luck
seems to be breaking against the
college men at every turn. Despite the
almost superhuman. efforts Of the
coaches and the conscientious work
of the men things seem to stand still.
Every advance is offset by some mis-
fortune.
The most difficult problem with
which MetZger and his associates nave
to deal is the development of a n
The retirement of Wallace leaves only
one experienced man in the line. This
is Captain Evenden, who played one
year at guard with the regular team.
This year he has been switched to

second team last year seems to have
first call on the center job. Hawley,
who made one of the center trio on the
scrubs last season, and Davis, a new

sition. Metzger thinks that he has
made a find in Dinges. a 20o-pounder,

great lea of trouble. Sitton h Is
the most likely candidate is strong and
fast but seems absolutely unable to
solve the fine points of the game.
Darling is too slow n Shattuck, who
looked like a possibility, is out of the
game because of parental objections.
The back field promises to be excep-
tionally strong. Wolff, Keck and End
berg make a trio hat has no equal IN
the Northwest.
The fourth mar in the back field will
probably be Bergman, the crack hurd-
Ter. While he is absolutely green at
the game, his wonderful speed and
good head work promise to make him
a very valuable man.
