MAJHtWSON has A STUNT
TO CATCH men ON BASIS
Giants Star Hurler Perfects New
Play to Deceive Base
Runners
MEN MUST HAVE TIE NERVE

New York, May 14:-"When every
thing I'm baseball has been said and
done and we come down to a final
ANALYSIS of the game, we are more
than ever convinced that the so-called
inside game is one composed of a few
tricks which can be converted and
used In different ways until the casuel
observers think they're entirely differ
ent." says local critic.
But the principal thing about this
great part of the national game today.
"And Christy Mathewson has one up
his sleeve which is an ace-high trump.
"The idea is, if a runner who shows
signs of being full of pepper gets on
first base, for the pitcher to make sew
eral slow losses of the ball to the get
away cushion. Each time the runner
will invariably come up with a bounce
and Jump away from the bag to get
inst as good a lead as he had before
"Matty has solved the way to put
stop to this. He throws the ball to
Merkle who is some what slow In
touching the back sliding runner. The
ball is returned to Matty quickly, and
II he sees the runner attempt to get
away from the bag again he whips 1t
back to Merkle. and nine times out of
every ten the runner is caught fiat
footed off the base.
saF t.ly To fn
make this play. He stands half facing
the plate and half facing first base, so
that in the event of the runner hug
ging the base he can whip the ball
right up to the plate and the runner
won't have a chance to steal.
1T takes n pitcher with a deal of
nerve and control to work il, and il
also requires the first baseman to get
the ball back to the pitcher without
any delay.
with a big league umpire handling
the game, there is no chance for a
balk to be called. although down south
this spring the Big Six worked the
stunt and n ball< was called by one of
those minor-league umpires. Under
the careful watching of McGraw, Mat
ty has been practicing this play all
spring with Merkle until they work II
like a well-oiled machine now.
Little Moran of the Boston club is
full Of life on the bases, and for the
first two days Matty sat on the bench
up Boston way watching this young
ster shake the nerves of Ames and
Crandall with his tactics on first. Mat
ty said If l pitch against this club
and Moran gets on first, I'm going to
get him. And he did.
The youngster reached the first peg
in the third on a base on balls. and ii
took Matty five pegs to Merkle before
they finally got him; but they sue
ceeded.
Every time the big fellow threw the
ball over Moran jumped up on his feet
the second Merkle returned il and
bounded away from the bag to a good
lead again. The two Giants bided
their time, and then Matty passed out
the signal for the coup and it went
through. Moran was caught with his
body swaying in the wrong direction
and he couldn't slide back"

WOULD ALTER
MODE OF PAY
FOR OFFICERS
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DIS
cUssINe ADJUSTMENT OF OF
FIcE FEES WOULD HAVE SAL
ARIES MADE STATIONARY.

The placing Of the four principal
county offices on a similar plan of sal
ary is one of the numerous things be-
ing discussed by the board of super
visors at the February session, which
began this morning at the court house.
The abolishment of fees in the office
of auditor and treasurer in the same
manner as Is done in the offices OF
clerk and recorder is the object Of the
discussion. 1t Is not expected that
anything will be done at this time In
changing the plan of paying the Off
GERS, and little is being said by the
board members relative to the matter.
At the present time the salaries Of the
recorder and clerk are fixed by law
and no fees obtain in these offices. In
those of the treasurer an dauditor,
however, a salary Is given that per-
mits of certain fees. The clerk Is
given fixed salary Of $500 and the
recorder $1,000, while the treasurer
has $1,5O0 with fees, and the auditor
81, 400 with fees. If the board should
fix the salary Of the two latter Of
fees it must be done during this year
as they will have no power to fix the
salary to be effective next year, as
the new board will have to do that.
A committee from the Retail Mer-
chants association, comprised of H. ].

The new industries committee Of

is working overtime in considering
the requests for locations and assist
ance from over dozen well estab-
lished factories which desire to come
to this city and become cogs in the
great wheel of industry that has OF

progressed in some instances to such
a state that within short time rep
resentatives from some of the fac
tories will come to this city and take
the matter up personally with the OF
tumwa boosters. The first of these will
be F. G. Vetter, vice president of the
Hawkeye Pearl Button Co. of Musca-
tine, which desires to establish a
branch in Ottumwa. The company al
ready has factories in Muscatine and
Keokuk and Canton, Mo. Correspond
ence has been the means of commu-
nication with the other plants desiring
to come to Ottumwa. With none Of
them, however, have the negotiations
progressed to state Of certainty, but

thing, the commercial life OF Ottumwa
will before long be strengthened by

see that it's labors are productive Of
the desired result.

ty-four hours Of deliberation the jury
in the case of Mrs Jeanette Stewart
Fard, charged with blackmailing Chas.
l.. Warriner, defaulting local treasur-
er Of the Big Four railroad, was un-
able to reach an agreement and was
discharged
Judge Swing stated after he dismiss
ed the jury that he had been informed
that on the last ballot eight jurors
stood for acquittal and four for con-
viction.
Jurors Discredt Warriner.
The unexpected end to the sensa-
tional case was explained by two of
the juTymen as due to the fact that a
majority Of their colleagues refused to
give any credit to the testimony of
Warriner. They asserted that man
who had confessed to embezzling for
twenty-five years would not hesitate to
whom he believed to have been the
cause of his exposure.
Prosecutor Hunt announced last
night that he expected to bring the
woman to trial again within the next
three weeks. At the same time he in
timated that he might abandon the
case.

He asserted that the result of the

mentality which seemed to affect
