Philad elphia, Pa. Sept rs
The decline of base running in
baseball has been much bemoaned.
Base running has been described as
rapidly vanishing art, and all that.
That ball players nowadays don't
steal as many bases as they used to
twenty years ago is a plain, bald fact.
but that doesn't necessarily mean that
base running has suffered to the
detriment of the game On the con-
trary, baseball is a more scientific
and interesting game now than when
many more bases were stolen. The
big development of team work
which is one reason why so many
bases aren't stolen-the hit-and-run
play, for instance-has improved the
game as a game. even II doing away
with some individual players on the
bases
Base runners are as fast as they
ever were; there are just as many of
them, and they run with Just as good
judgment. Aren't Cobb and Collins
and Bescher fully as good as were
Hamilton, Stovey and Fogarty? Or.
to put 1t another way, wouldn't they
steal as many bases If the same con-
ditions obtained?
Aside from the subordination of
the individual to the team, there are
excellent reasons why fewer bases are
stolen in the present era of the ma
tional game. For one thing. there is
big difference in the way stolen
bases are scored. Once upon a time
all player had to do was to start
for the next base with the pitch and
he got credit for a steal-if he got
( there-no matter what happened to
( the pitched ball. If the ball was hit
! he got his steal Just the same. The
present rules prohibit crediting a man
with steal If he gets to the next
base aided by batted ball, and that
in itself makes a difference.
But potent Influence in reducing
the number of stolen bases and one
often overlooked in discussing the
question is the advent of the catch
er's big mitt. Prior to 1890 there
were many more stolen bases than
later. The big mitt began to be used
first in 1889, but was not generally
adopted until later. Arthur Irwin
was the man who originated it. and
his, first experiment consisted in nut
| ting single piece OF leather over the
ralm of an ordinary fielder's glove.

COLORADO PHONE
WIRE COULD LAP
EARTH EIGHT TIMES

Denver, Sept. 2S.-If the telephone
wires used by the Colorado Telephone
company were spliced end to end
there would be enough wire to wrap
around the earth eight times and
leave a surplus of 1,250 miles to
be used as necktie to twist around
the north pole.
If all the telephone poles in use by
this company were growing in their
native forest they would cover an
area OF $500 acres of land.
And if it were necessary to use the
old system of poles on Fifteenth
street in Denver, instead of under
ground conduits, there would have to
be Sc different lines of S0-foot poles
carrying 800 wires each, there being
now $500 wires laid under that
street
These and some other Interesting
figures showing the magnitude of
big telephone plant, have recently
been compiled in the office of Walter
F. Brown, assistant superintendent of
the Colorado Telephone company.
By way of comparative figures Mr..
Brown finds that in the year 1902
there were in use by this company
1856 miles of toll wires: lO,794
miles of underground wires, and 2S,-
995 miles of overhead wires, making
a total of so, 175 miles of wires.
In 1908 the total had increased to
1S2,013 miles, and on July 81, 1910,
there were 24,074 miles of toll wires;
67 $50 miles of underground wires,
and l19, SOS miles of overhead wires,
a total of 211,250 miles.
Figuring the circumference of the
earth at $4,000 miles, there are
enough wires in use by the Colorado
Telephone company to encircle the
globe eight times and leave frag-
ment of 1850 miles. or total of
81 $50 miles of wires.
In order to carry the aerial wires
365, $50 telephone poles are brought
into use. These poles, according to
figures furnished by the United
States forestry department would,
were they growing, make great
forest covering $500 acres.
There are S2,755 stations in opera
ton by the company and an army of
$500 people are employed The
lines extend over Colorado and New
Mexico.
These figures do not include the
connecting lines of companies under
any other name, but has to do with
this state and New Mexico.

policeman in Worcester. saws an ex-
change.
And what difference did the big
mitt make on base stealing? Just
this. It saves valuable time in the
catcher getting his throw away.
When catchers used the small fling
cred glove their hands had to give
when taking pitch. The yield of the
hands to swiftly pitched balls meant
that just so much time was lost in
launching the throw. valuable time
and big help to the base runner.
Also there were more passed balls
then. But with the huge, thick-pad-
ded glove there is practically no give.
The big cushion held out in front
serves as pocket in which the pitch
ed ball stops dead and ,he catcher
simply picks out the ball with his
other hand and makes his throw. The
fraction of time thus saved has been
the main reason why base stealing
has fallen off.
In 1881 Ward stole III bases; Fo-
garty l02, and Kelly "a, and there
were five others who stole over so
bases, all in fewer games than now
constitute the season. In 1889 Stovey
stole 115 bases; O'Brien, 1903; Ham
ilton, III; Long, 81; WEIGH 92 and
thirteen others stole over so each.
Records of the present show no such
Wholesale quantities of steals. The
record for 1908 shows that Cobb
stole 40 and Conroy and Flick Al
each. In 1907 Wagner stole SO;
Chance. 81; Devlin, 81. and Magee,
50, they being the leaders But in
1909 there seems to have been an
improvement in the American league
at least, Cobb stealing 10; Collins,
81, and Bush. 50.
The 1907 guide contained this
brief rule for stolen bases: "A
stolen base shall be credited to the
base runner whenever he advances a
base unaided by base hit, a put-out,
a fielding or battery error"
In the last two seasons the rule
has been changed to permit a runner
getting credit for steal on battery
error provided he makes his start
prior to the battery error. 1t may
be that Cobb and Collins have been
alert to take advantage of that
change, but there has been no cor
responding increase in steals in the
last two years by National League
base runners.
II was once the custom to give
credit for steal when a runner was
put out. The rule provided steal
in such case. Still that-play didn't
happen often, and affects the point
at issue but little. Too much lati-
tude on the part of some scorers al
ways has existed, particularly in Gre
ating steal on a palpable muff by
the man taking the throw. The chief
reasons, however, for fewer stolen
bases are these: The big glove, the
wide use of the hit-and-run play, not
giving n steal when the runner is
aided by batted ball. The rule in
vogue in 1890 allowed for a steal
even when the ball was muffed by the
fielder There was nothing in that
rule prohibiting the scoring of a steal
when aided by a batted ball. The
latitude allowed by that rule, more
or less laxity in scoring. and the mat
tress mitt have cut down stolen bases.
