Obey Niagara Falls

Despite the known and almost cer- tain chances of disaster awaiting the man who ventures himself, in or out of a boat. on Niagara's current, several have signified their intention of at tempting the feat on Sept. IT.
 Among those who will attempt to ride the treacherous and turbulent rap ids in specially constructed motor boat is w. J. Rose of Detroit. Mich. Rose has had an excellent marine training and has shot number of rapids throughout the country. He re- gently stated that he would accomplish the feat of crossing Niagara in a mo- tor boat. The Rabbits Foot. the boat in which he will attempt his forthcom- ing trip. Is twenty-on one feet long and is driven by 20 horse power engine.
 The boat is not fitted with air cham bers or other nonsinkable apparatus. as Rose thinks his knowledge of navi- gation will enable him to guide the boat over the dangerous route without turning over. The journey will begin at the foot of the falls and end at Lewiston. distance of six miles. and he expects to negotiate the distance in ten minutes =r- .r..s- .s.i ,-.- <,-
 This feat has been successfully ae- complished number of times in .har@ rels and boats, and one or rwa ef tbs more daring have swam 1t with sbe aid of life preservers. but it has n,efe often resulted in the death of tha would-be conqueror. One thousand dollars in cash and a medal worth s5oo will go to the man who acasmnIishe. the feat.

Injustice to he Baffsys

Defense formations in baseball may not be as numerous the ones ob- served upon the football gridtron, but they are becoming more numerous every day The new formations ne- cessitate a change in the positions of the men on the defense until at times the average fan has to look the sec ond time before distinguishing the home players. The faster game that is now being played is responsible for these shifts, and it may also be responsible for change in the sac riffce scoring rules at an early date.
 Some of the players argue that when the game acquires so much speed that the men on the defensive can choke off a bunt at nearly every turn. a pro- vision of some kind should be made placing a new construction upon bunt. Under present conditions fIaser is never credited with sacri- flee hit when another runner is thrown Out by the man who fields the bunted ball. Ii the man on first or second Advances, however, and the bunter IS fifrown out he gets credit for sacri- dce hit This rule has worked for seV- eral years, but the new speed Of the game as seen in some sections may make a new regulation necessary if the batter himself is to be givei. credit for his work.
 e5There are several first and third basemen in the country. Hal Chase. konetchy and others Included wfis are so accurate with their quick throws that a batter is almost afraid to bunt. Ths batter knows that if he Simply ays the ball down in front of the Dfate the man ahead of him will be thrown out and that he himself will be cfedited with a time at bat in stead of a sacrifice, which Is per fectly proper undey existing rules, as his efforts have not advanced the po sition of a team mate oh the paths.
 15This is probably the first year in Baseball that the infield defense has gown strong and capable enough to deter batsnien from bunting. As soon ss the bstters realized this they had to decide on new plan Of attack, and tfIis new plan has worked to suchran extent against their batting averages tflst they a+e crying out for new rule To bring the point noarer home. an Illustration may be drawn from Texas league players.
 Suppose there are men of moderate speed on first and second bases and no ofie out. The batter's proper play is to advance the men by bunting Sup pese. for example. either Smith or Jones holds down third base on the defense and another fast man Is coys srtne first base The infieid will play in close when the batter gtcs up be clause "a 'bunt is expected under tbe present day system of playing the

Lynch and Umpire Problem

President Tom Lynch of the National leag,.e is of the opinion that the umpire problem is one of the most important features of the national game and he says he will not rest until the National league can boast of one of the most competent staffs of umpires that are available. In speaking of the umpire situation recently President Lynch said: 'If I stay on this job for three or four years I win have a stan af um- pires of which our club owners will be justly proud have my eyes con- stantly focused on good men who are now doing duty in the minors and I expect to reach out and get the good men when they are available.
 People have a queer idea about the qualifications required of an umpire. He must have a quick eye and clear. resonant voice. some one says. Yes. He must be firm adds a third. Yes. But all these folks overlook the fact
Arizona republican., 1910-08-21

that to be a successful umpire a man must naturally be intelligent. Practi- cally all the trouble that has ever oc- cured on the diamond has been due as much to the bone headed work of the umpires as to the misconduct of the players.
 There are a thousand and one ways in which conflicts with the players can be avoided if an umpire Is level-headed. Be firm? Yes. Be fast on your feet and clear of voice? Yes. But above all. be sensible. The umpire who goes out on the field with a chip on his shoulder is reasonably sure to have it knocked off along about the third in- ming. Call player by his first name and he win come back at you with the same show of familiarity"

Thar Wsl,, Cork Ball

The lighter cork center compels tighter wrapping in order to make up the loss of weight in the same sized ball. The tighter wrapping prevents the handicapping later-inning "mush- mess" and the crack of the impact is as sharp in ball used through eight in- nings as at the start. Of course the pitchers don't like it, but the specta- tors-especially those who have been clamoring for increased batting. will notice the improvement and rejoice ac- cordingly. The ball has been changed somewhat since the first output this season and perhaps will be changed further until its perfection is absolute. The point is Ulat the principle is es- tablished and for its discovery baseball will soon acknowledge that 1t owes the manufacturers a rising vote of thanks.

Tribs 10 he Club House

The new rule adopted this year em- towering umpires to clear the bench" has emphasized the need of regulating the retirement of players. Until this season offending players have been sent to the clubhouse singly. except in a few instances and comparatively few play CTS in any ones game. It is a we'll known fact that such retirement does not conduce to a pleasing state of mind on the part of the players and that the rule, rather than the exception, has been for them to take their time in get ting ready to leave and to further de- lay the game by their leisurely prog ress across the playing field. As long as such delays were comparatively rare little attention was paid to this delay except at the moment. Now that relegations to the clubhouse are more numerous and often in wholesale lots, the aggregate delay during the season Is well worth obviating.

 Of the pitchers perhaps Ford of the New York Highlanders is the best find of the season. though Vaughan, also a hilltop pitcher. is some classy finger. Cincinnati has a good young player in Shortstop Downey. though he was with the team a part of last sea- son. Lord of the Boston speed boys is perhaps one of the best finds. and experts of the national pastime say that he is one of the greatest natural ball players on the third sack.

Aviation as a sport is rapidly spring ing to the front. and there is little doubt but that as many thousands Of persons are daily following its pro- gress as there are watching the devel- opments in the baseball field.
 Though it apparently seems that foreign countries now have the upper hand in the matter of aviation feats thus far, American is not far behind. and this country is just awakening to the fact that in the future air-iying will form as great function in this country. as railroads. or steamship lines.

 This golfer uses the juice of lemon for d face wash.

Adams Feels Slump

Baseball history will not show a worse crushed hero than Adams. Gov eleskie, Philly, whose sensational work deprived New York of a banner three years ago. was perhaps a close approach to Charley Adams case. The Pirate has never uttered a word of wailing this year. He feels his slump, but keeps on practicing; has pitched several fair games. but once in a hole. does not have luck in getting out. That drop ball which threw terror into the Tigers. is picked out and pickled often by even ordinary batsmen.

Valne Of GoT ShOlDn

Perhaps there can be no better exam pie of the value of golf playing than in the instance of President William Howard Taft. President Taft Is an en- thusiastic golf player and hardly day passes but some part of it is passed by the chief executive on the golf links.
 While in Washington attending to his official duties as head of the nation the President visits the Chevy Chase links and plays the game with distln- guished persons who are delighted to take part in a game with the chief ex- ecutive. The President is not only an enthusiastic player, but is an expert at the game, and his opponents. no matter how clever they are. are forced to ex- tend themselves to beat him. On this game the President relies chiefly for beneficial exercise and a means of keep ing his weight down to a minimum.
 While at his summer home at Bev- erly, Mass, President Taft makes golf his chief recreation sport, and each day finds him for a couple of hours playing companion, both here and at Washington, has been John Hays Ham, 'mond, who is himself an expert player
 During the Presidents recent cruise up the North Atlantic coast he did not deprive himself of his favorite sport, but played the game each day on landing where golf links were close at hand. Like John D. Rockefeller, Standard oil king, Mir. Taft believes that golf is more instrumental than any other one thing in keeping him in the best possible state of health

Coal miners. boiler makers and blacksmiths shine more lustrously in the ring than do dry goods sales men, bank clerks and sons of society And there is good reason for this Continued hard work at the rough trades develops iron muscles and hardens up the body until it can stand almost anything.
