HOW THEY SCORED.

The solution to the base ball puz-
zIe as to how the men scored is given
below.
batter steps into the box and
knocks a hard safe fly. He makes
three bases on this. but in doing so
cuts the first base. The umpire sees
him and promptly calls him out.
Consequently the scorer cannot cred
1t the batter with a hit. There was
no error. as the ball was a safe one.
The batter did not make a sacri-
flee. as he did not intend it to be so:
and he would not have had any trou-
BILE in making two bases. As it was
the base-running and not the bat
ting which put him out. the advance
made on the ball would have TO count
and his team would be entitled to
the three runs. The runners could
not claim stolen bases, for they were
advanced by the batter Therefore.
the men scored without hit. stolen
bases. sacrifice hit, passed ball, being
hit with the ball or base on balls

THE YELLOW sTUNG AGAIN.

The statement in the Morning yell
low. of this date. that The Sentinel
omitted its baseball percentages be-
cause that paper happened to on
certain date, and that The Sentinel
always copied this feature from the
Yellow, is laughable. Now, there are
one or two reasons why we couldn't
do this If we wished to, Mr. Yellow
In the first place your sheet is too
unreliable. In the second place you
make dozens of errors in the com
pilation of your standings and aver
ages. In the third place you often
times have National league clubs in
the American league association, and
vice versa. This morning you had
nine clubs in the National league.
June. 10th ON the front page you ran
the standings. then you had only
seven clubs in the Western league.
yet this is a Glass A organization and
to hold this title there must be eight
clubs. June 18th you had only seven
teams in the Western league. June
| 9th you had only seven clubs in the
Western league and also the same
number in the National league. For
years and years the National league
has had eight clubs On the same
date you had Detroit heading the list
in the National league. When did
Detroit enter the National league?
Ask any ball fan if this is true?
Oh, my II is dreadful
Only once since you started to print
the standings, and you began three
weeks after The Sentinel had been
giving the standings daily. have you
had them all right We
cannot tell how you did it and doubt
If you know, yourselves. Lack of
space prohibits our exposing many
other laughable bulls and blunders.
with the exception of one: will the
averages no doubt be copied again
today by the evening Whimper!" Let
us examine this mornings paper.
Starting with the Western league.
Omaha has a record of 20 won and 23
lost, with percentage of $40. The
Yellow accredited Omaha 26 won and
q lost with a percentage of .553.
The Yellow also had Topeka 26 won
and 21 lost instead of rs won and
2l lost. They had Des Moines 26
and 26, 490; instead of 26. 25 $40.
Had their games been right the per-
centage was wrong 20, &c is 500.
Now the National league. New
York had won "a and lost 22 and her
percentage is .522. The Yellow had
the number of games right but had
the percentage 519. St. Louis should
be % and 81 instead of 23 and 30.
OF course this makes her percentage

This is worse yet. Detroit, the lead
ing club is all right. Philadelphia
ought to be %. %. .55S instead of

instead of %. "a, ,547; New York
25. 90, 400 instead of 26. 25, 80;
Chicago 23. 27. 400 instead of 23.
IS. .45l: Washington 10. 23, .373
instead of is. 90. 439. In this
league the standing of out of s
clubs were correct today.

The Palmyra Herald pointcdly
remarks: Neither Senator Stone.
Senator Bailey nor any Of the
seIf-styled democratic senator's
who have joined the republicans
on the tariff issue are ignorant of
what true democracy teaches on
that subject. The word "Pro-
lection, never had a place in a
democratic platform. The demo
cratic party which advocates
equal rights for all and special
privileges for none could not pos
sibly Justify this with til pro-
tective idea. In fact true de
mOcracy has little use for any
kind of a tariff. Its only justi-
fication is as a revenue producer,
not as protective measure.
Democracy has always advocated
a tariff on Injuries only. The
true democratic method of raising
taxes is by direct taxation. Every
man would then konw just how
much he was called on to contrib
ute to the support of the govern
mcnt. How long could eXtrava-
gance exist in the administration
of this country if every man knew
just what it was costing him?
But the protective tariff takes
millions from the tax payers with
out their realizing that they arc
being robbed. And we have the
spectacle of men calling them
selves democrats and voting to
perpetuate this fraud. Truly,
Roger q. Mills, Texas grand old
statesman, is quite right when he
says the party would better he
dead than to be thus betrayed.
