HUGHES FOR CHIEF JUSTICE
Governor Will Probably Succeed Mel
willie w. Fuller AS Head of
Supreme Court.

Washington.-With the death of
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller and
the probable retirement Of Associate
Justice William H. Moody of the SUI
preme court, President Taft will have
two vacancies In that court to fill
within the next few months.
1t is generally believed that Gov
Charles E. Hughes of New York, whs
has been confirmed as an associate
justice, will be promoted to chief jus.
tice, and that Lloyd w. Bowers of
Chicago, solicitor general of the de-
partment of justice, will be appointed
justice in his place. The other alter
native suggested is that Mr.. Bowers
be made chief justice, it having been
understood here for some time that
the president considered him qualified
in all legal respects for the place. 1t
is known, however. that President
Taft has considered Governor Hughes
also in this connection so far as his
abilities are concerned.

The department has the text of an
order issued by Sebastiana Salinas of
the department of Granada. which
commands "all the inhabitants of the
Mombacko Ridge to assemble within
twentyfour hours in Granada. without
distinction Of age or sex"
Persons not complying will be re
garded as revolutionists and treated
as such" That is, if General Salinas
thinks fit he may shoot them or starve
them into submission The people OF
this ridge are anti-Madriz and they
are to be crushed in the most barbar-
Gus manner.

Bob Unglaub, first-sacker of the
Washington club, has been In the
American league for close onto eight
years. During all that time he has
used but one bat, while for his first
base play he has had but one mitt.
His bat he guards as though 1t were
a priceless jewel. He does not lay it
with the other bats in front OF the
bench, but has it up in one corner
where he can keep his eye on 1t. He
does not use it in practise, but during
the progress of a game depends upon
it altogether for bunting as well as
slamming out long hits.
Besides being a good base ball gen.
eral, it cannot be forgotten that Stall
ings is some David Harum when 1t
comes to selling players. Neal Ball
was sold to, Cleveland for $4,000 and
Washington paid the same price FOR
Kid Elberfeld. Detroit put up $4,000
for George Moriarty and the Bostons
have just paid $4,000 for Clyde Engle
and $4,000 for Kleinow. Rochester
gave $4,000 for Blair, and so on. Yet
Stallings seems to have better ball
team than ever.
Connie Mack made Detroit big Of
fer for Catcher Beckendorf, but was
turned down. Mack was pretty sweet
on Beckendorf when he first attracted
the attention of the big league scouts,
but Detroit beat him out. Then Mack
offered Detroit $4,000 for the catcher,
which was refused. 1t Is understood
that Mack this time boosted the for
mer figure considerably, but Detroit
is not going to do anything to strength

ened the family wallet the other day

he purchased or left orders for straw

zEIDER SAYS confidence
is BIG THING IN GAME
GOOD PITCHING, BATTING AND
HARD WORK ALSO ESSENTIAL
DECLARES WHITE SOX
CAPTAIN.
BY "ROLLIE" ZEIDER.

Copyright, 1910, by Joseph 3. BoWles.)
1t may sound like a joke at the
present stage of the race for me to
tell how | win, so | will write on how
think any player ought to play to
win. They are my ideas and l think
they will work out IL followed stead
lily.
Confidence Is the big thing, pitch
ing the next, and then batting and
hard work. Those are the things
that make winning teams, and none OF
working together, helping each other
and studying the game every minute.
OF course / do not know as much
about 1t as the fellows who have
been in the big leagues for years. and
realize that they have something
on me in knowing more about each
other. But the fact Is that the same
things that were true when l was
playing on a country team in Indiana
are true in the major league.
l think player must have the de-
termination to win and the forgetful-
ness Of everything else in him If he
is to be good player. There must
not be any side interests after a
game starts. A fellow must go out
there and work and fight to the fin
ish-fight for runs and fight to stop
the other team. He must fight for
every inch of ground. But l take it
for granted a player has that in him
before he starts. No matter what his
position he must study 1t from every
point, and study the men around him
what their habits are, how far they
can go to the right or left, whether
they take thrown balls well, whether
they hear quickly and will stop when
called upon. The fear of collisions
costs many ball games. especially
when the players are not familiar
with each other.
If man is an infielder he must
study the ground until he knows every
bump and soft or hard spot, as well
as study the batters. He must watch
every move of the players on his own
team, and know, either from their
movements or their signals, what they
will do or try to do on the next play.
An infielder ought to be good Judge
of speed and distance, and to decide
instantly not only how a ball will
bound but how he will take it
whether between bounds or on the
high bound. In deciding he must
know the speed Of the runners, for
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1910-07-21

he can back up and take a ball on the
easy bound on some runners while
on others-faster men-he must dive
forward and take chances on fum-
bling in order to get his man.
1t is in this point that lot of play
ers fail. That Is why think the play
err who hears what the crowd says, or
pays attention to criticism is not as
good as one who is deaf to everything
except what his manager or captain Is
saying or his fellow player calling.
The player who wins is one who takes
chances, and the best players make
more errors usually than those who
back up and take the ball on the easy
bound all the time. fearing to risk an
error and playing 1t safe.
The one who takes the chance and
fumbles wins the games, and a player
ought to try for everything he can
reach In any way. whether he can
get it or not If he keeps trying he
will get a large per centage of the
balls that get away from others who
play safe, or who get discouraged
and quit trying.
