GRAND OLD DAYS

Tigers Win Contest That Locks Like
Page From Early Baseball
History.

There was a wiid-eyed affair called
a nall game at Bennett Park. Sunday
afternoon. Those who admire the air
tight variety went home saying:
Punk" but the fellow who longs for
the grand old days" when they
knocked boards of the fence and
turned base running into parade.

Runners chased each other around
the paths like movingpicture cavalry

side got a few too many runs the OPP
posing manager wigwagged the most
recent pitcher 10 the bench and an
other took his place. stroud. Killian
and Mulin labored for Detroit Kar-
ger. Cicotte and Wood for Boston.
A hit by Crawford In the ninth. q
sacrifice by Deehanty. an infeld out
and a wild heave by the energetic
young Mr.. Wood tied the score In the
ninth. In the tenth. Mullin walked.
Mcintyre sacrificed. Bush singled and
so did Cobb. Mullin making the win
ming run.
The Tiges were lucky that Karger's
support went TO the bad In the fourth,
for II allowed Detroit three runs
when runs were very much needed.
After that either team seemed able
to 60 out and tally often. Boston fall
ing down In the eighth after Mullin
had warmed TO his task.
Beckendorf got into the fray after
long rest in time TO complete a time
at bat for Stroud In the fourth. Stroud
had one ball and one strike when
Beck ambled out OF the coop and he
very promptly singled. D. Jones had
the honor OF running for Simmons In
the ninth and Tom Jones played first
base In the tenth. These changes to-
gether with the parade OF pitchers
made II tough day for the scribes
who attempted TO record the doings.

Connie Mack. according 10 ancient
history. is the man who originated
the trick OF catcher tipping the bat
of an opposing player. on the third
strike. It's a mighty clever little
stunt which isn't allowed by the rules
OF baseball, but 1t helps win games
frequently.
Mack sprung the trick the first time
when he was playing with Pittsburg
years ago. In those days Connie was
about the niftiest catcher in the game

the ball is played to any one OF the
bases between the one he occupied
and the one he ran TO. before he
makes the return circuit.
This spreading about OF rules COW
ering the same situation was what
caused Pitcher Donovan to implore
Delehanty 10 throw 10 Simmons and
what put the afternoon reporters in
bad. Donovan was playing safe and
taking no chances. which in view OF
the few times In the course of a life
time this play comes up, was very
commendable.
On a common sense basis Gardner
would have been out along with Stahl
as soon as Delehanty touched second.
Common sense also would put in con-
secutive sections the rules relative to
one particular section, but the base
ball rules weren't built on common
sense lines. They were Just thrown

ing. which isn't so difficult as 1t may
sound
To turn the trick the catcher crowds
the plate as close as the position OF
the batter will permit. It's particu-
larry good when the bases are clut-
tered and there are two strikes on the
batter.
AS the batsman starts his swing the
catcher tips the bat with the back of
his mitt. Sounds simple. doesn't IT,.
But really IL isn't. so Mack says, and
he ought TO know.

"OId Glory

Ex-Governor Guild of MaSsa-
chusetts has come out with flying col
ors of a little controversy in Boston
over the origin of the American flag,
some of the historic facts of which
ought to be known by every lover of
his country.
1t is a historic fact that the first
American flag such as we have ever
since possessed was made by Betsy
Ross, but precisely what credit be-
longs to that patriotic women is not
commonly understood. The fact of
history is that the first American flag
carried in the Revolution was brought
out by Gen. Israel Putnam, but this
new emblem of liberty and independ-
ence, first shown the January just
preceding the adoption of the immor
tai Declara tion, retained the English
Union Jack in the corner General
Putman's contribution to the distinct
i've national flag was in substituting
for the plain red field of the English
flag the stripes of the American.
Directly after independence was de-
clared George Washington and two
other patriots were appointed a
special committee to design new
flag. The contribution made by this
special committee, and probably by
Washington himself, was the substit-
ion of the stars in the corner for the
Union Jack, the committee retaining
Putnam's stripes in place of the red
field.
The design was submitted to Betsy
Ross to make flag. Mrs. Ross con-
ribution was simply the changing of
the stars from six-pointed to five
pointed and putting the whole design
together. The distinction as to the
points of the stars is that the six
pointed star is in reality emblematic
in French heraldry of the spur of
knighthood, while the emblem adopt
ed by Betsy Ross is the star of the
heavens, certainly a noble distinction
and difference where flag is to be
designed typifying the rights of man
to 'slife, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness
This is the history of the adoption
of the flag and credits distributed be-
tween General Putnam, George Wash
ington with his two assistants, and
Betsy RosS.-Topeka Capital.

The Price of Butter

The discussion given to the subject
of cost of living has directed more or
less attention to the federal oleomar-
garine tax and the price of butter.
People who are in favor of repeating
the present oleomargarine law have
taken advantage of the situation to
loudly condemn as ''undemocratic and
un-American' this ''burdensome tax
on pure, wholesome and nutritious
food product.
They conveniently forget to explain
that over 81 per cent of the oleomar-
garine put upon the market is taxed
at only one-fourth cent per pound.
| They do not explain that only that
oleomargarine that is artificfally col
| ored is taxed at ten cents per pound.
| Even if it were all taxed at ten
cents per pound it would have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the price
of butter after the latter reaches
thirty cents a pound retail. 1t costs
about fourteen cents pound to pro-
duce the very best grade of oleomar-
garine. Add to this a ten cent tax
and the cost of production would be
twenty-four cents. The product could
be retailed at thirty cents at hand
some profit to manufacturer and re-
taller.
Looking at the question from any
view point it is clearly seen that the
oleomargarine law has absolutely
nothing to do with the price of butter.
The dairy interests of the country
are not enjoying any benefit through
OleOmargarine legislation except as
the integrity of the industry is main
tanned. In this every honest citizen
should feel keen interest. He should
also understand that the effort put
forth by the manufacturers of oleo-
margarine to secure legislation which
will make it easy for men to commit
fraud in selling oleomargarine is not
| inspired by love for the "poor man
who wants a cheap substitute for
BUTTER
The whole proposition may be thus
summed up: oleomargarine is now
made to taste and smell something
like butter. The manufacturers and
few retail dealers want the privi-
lege of putting it upon the market SO
that it will look like butter, thus
making it easy to commit fraud q
Every good citizen should be inz
terested in effective pure food legis-
latioh and the oleomargarine law is
just such legislation-no more, no
less. The National Dairy Union,
E. K. Slater, Sec'y.
