They are again making charges OF
signal tipping on the New York Amer.
lean league grounds. Chicago players
claim TO have discovered the cheating
apparatus after Catcher Freddie
Payne noticed a big letter II in center
field that wiggled suspiciously.
Now comes Manager Stallings. who
declares loudly that Chicago must
prove its charges, One set OF charges
OF this nature was proved, but nothing
came of It, Those at the head OF the
American league let down the High
landers' management last fall with q
reprimand, desiring to avoid publicity
for the good Of the game. IL the New
York club is engaged In this form OF
cheating again, Manager Stallings
should be cast from the American
league and the club owners should be
forced to pay a heavy fine. Baseball
has always been too far above sus-
picion to tolerate anything OF this
kind.

Cy Young and old Chief thinner
were the means OF detecting the tip
ping at Philadelphia. In spite OF
Young's speed and control thinner
never used signs. Young went ahead
and threw anything he wished and
thinner caught IT, When their club
went to Philadelphia the Phillies hit
all the pitchers save Young very free
". That caused suspicion and inves-
tigation discovered the operation OF a
wig-wag.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1910-07-16

The tipping of signals used to be
quite a favorite thing. II is a we'll
known fact, often printed, that BIZ
Armour had a wig-wag working when
he was manager in Detroit. Pittsburg
had contrivance In full operation and
they used to work 1t on the old Phila'
delphia National league grounds.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1910-07-16

But. tipping signals is not fair. The
public always has frowned on anything
underhanded in baseball and II wig.
wag is working In New York severe
penalties should be inflicted. II is an
unsportsmanlike contrivance that has
no place In a clean game

Signals are tipped by a man In cen
ter field. Armed with field glass he
sits behind the fence and peeps
through holes. When the catcher sig
mails the pitcher he flashes the sign TO
the batsman by moving some part OF
a letter in a sign which has been
'doctored" for the purpose. For in.
stance a letter M could be made
to turn into an III" the N meaning
straight ball, the II curve.
A lot OF folks wonder II tipping
signs helps a club In the long run,
10 say nothing of the chances taken.
Some batters who are weak on a curve
ball might profit by letting the curves
go past This would result in great
benefit II the opposing pitcher were a
little Wild and had TO groove the ball
to keep from passing men. However,
II he could break his curve over right
along II would not help much.
When a club that has tipped sig
nails goes on the road II bumps into
trouble at once. Used to knowing
what is coming the batters are all AZ
sea. Furthermore. there is the danf~
OF planting ones seh at the plate con
fldent in the knowledge that a curve
is coming. only TO have the opposition
cross YOU and throw a straight ball
It's a dangerous thing with a fast ball
pitcher working against you TO stand
at the plate with your mind fully made
ND where the ball is going and then
have Il curve suddenly.

beyond any control and rapidly
consumed the house and barns
which was connected. The lower
part OF the house was nearly cleared
of it's contents, but practically moth
ing was removed from the upper
tenement which was occupied by
Mrs. Mary Gear and her little grand
daughter, Dorothy Chase. Ms.

A Surprise.

Thst early little winter,
When all the grass was green,
And late the pansies blooming
In velvet dress were seen;
IL covered the brown burrows
Where autuma hsrvests grew,
And over plain and hillside
The softest carpet grew.
Tn early little winter
Kept busy as could be
TIL white plumes tossed aud trembhd
ON every le1fiess tree;
Then stole across the garden
And draped with spotless net
The fences-'ris picture
We well remember yet.
That early little winter
Was ldy up 70 date
The first day OF December
We didnt have TO walt.
Far, rom the icy Northland,
All swiftly day by day
That early little winter.
IL took our breath away.
