NEW PLAYS ARE SCARCE
IN BASEBALL SCIENCE
Bunt, Delayed Steal Sacrifice,
All Were Known to Old
Time Stars

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-"How many
new plays have been discovered in
baseball in the last twenty years?'
asked the inquisitive man of Dan
Brouthers.
"I don't know of any real new ones
replied the veteran. "They don't dc
much that they didn't do when
played ball. There is a little differ
ence. Some moves are made with
more frequency, and team work is
more common among clubs"
How about the bunt?"
Nothing to that! There's a man
coaching every day for the New York
baseball club who twenty years age
could bunt more skillfully than most
of the players on the field today, and
as sl1illfully as the experts, for al
that 1 can see."
you mean Latham, we may
take it?"
1T certainly do. This squeeze play
which they talk so much about, 1 saw
happen on the ball field. although the
batter used to chop at the ball, rather
than bunt it,
How about the delayed steal7"
Nothing to H. Old players used tc
DO it and they used to say that they
were blamed idiots for taking such
chances on the bases. They weren't
so critical then about picking plays
and putting fancy names on them
If anything happened out OF the ordl-
nary-that Is, the ordinary run Of
luck-they'd say after the game was
over, That was a streak of luck and
the team was fortunate to get away
with a victory That's what we used
to get. None of your delayed steals
and sacrifice killers and such things
"But there wasn't any sacrifice"
"No. there wasn't. That is, exactly
Of the manner that 1t is made today
although when managers saw the
trend of the times, that baseball was
getting more and more to be a game in
which one run would be great factor
in winning, they trained their clubs
to go after the sacrifice as much as
any other play. Yet 1 have known
times when we used to play out in the
lake cities when we sacrificed. Did II
deliberately too. No picayune luck
about it. Simply jumped in and took
a chance on getting out to get another
fellow around. That's years ago, and
that's why tell you that there are
one of them, and it's only the fire.
uuency of some OF these so-called
plays, against their scarcity years
gone by, that induces imaginative folk
to think that they see something that
we didn't knew
Some folk say that they nave bet
ter base runners now than they did
years ago"
"They do. do they? How old are
they? Did they make their acquaint-
ance with baseball since 1890, or have
they been in 1t or seen 1t since 18S0i
Better base stealers, eh? Bring on q
few. Where is there one better than
Ned williamson How about Harry
Stovey? What of Buck Ewing and
Mike Kelly and Fogarty and about
forty others that 1 could name If II
were worth while? Better base steal
ers? Let me tell you something
When people say anything like that
you tell them to stop reading those ro-
mances about baseball and go some
where and borrow-for you can't buy
them--a few copies of the older edi.
tions of the baseball guides and ther
come around and tell us what they
found in them in regard to base run

WOMAN BLACKSMITHS
DEFEND RIGHT TO WORK
Fair LaborerS Object to Men De-
priving Them of Positions

LONDON, Oct. IA social problem
and dramatic incident were among
the outstanding items of the recent
Trade Union congress at Sheffield. The
dramatic feature related to the women
blacksmiths who are on strike at Grad
ley Heath, and Cradley Heath is closely
interviewer with the history of the
Trade Union congress. Able women of
the earlier years of the labor move
ment, Emma Paterson, Jeanette Viii
kinson, and in her sphere Mrs. Henry
Fawcett have vigorously defended the
right of women to do blacksmith's s work
if they want to, aud men who have op-
posed it have been charged with stop
ping women from getting livelihood.
There have been plenty of opponents
of this kind Of women's labor in the
Trade Union congress, and one of the
most striking personalities among them
was a trade unionist who reioiced in
the name of Juggins He was man
Of massive proportions and had tears
in his voice, and he would bring lengths
of chain to the congress, clank them
before the delegates after the manner
Of a ghost in q haunted dungeon, and
in Wailful tones that resounded above
every kind of din would ask 'if the
iIldklllB Ol LIlIBS ike THESE was WOAh
fit for women to do"
Emma Patterson was a woman OF
quite small proportions, but she was
the only really great woman the labor
movement has produced, and she went
for the big trade union leader on oc-
casions like these much as a little
terrier goes for a bull, and generally
came off best in the encounter. She
would have riveted heavier chains on
her sisters than any made at Cradley
Heath had her ideas prevailed, but
there has been a constant CONFLICT
against them, and is still.
The chains we're brought forward at
the congress this year, but they were
shown to the delegates as the kind Of
thing women made at a penny an hour.
A yard Of chain takes an hour to make,
and a penny a yard is the pieceWork
price. The women want cents yard,
and for this they are on strike. Three
women, one old annd two young, stood
UP before the audience and held up the
chains, and so little did they know Of
the arts of speech that / twas almost
q mute appeal. Slight made, and with
simple, kindly faces and low voices,
they did not look capable of much
work at the forge. But they had done
1t, the older women for years-at a
were more effective than any quantity
of platform oratory would have been,
and the congress was deeply moved.
At a meeting of the Chain Manufac-
turers' association this week 1t was
decided to throw overheard the
rsweaters" and to pay the minimum
rates agreed upon on August %. These
rates will prevail until February next,
when contracting-out becomes Illegal.

COBB AND RUCKER To
MEET IN AUTO CONTEST
Famous Diamond Stars Matched
for Supremacy of Gasoline
Cart World

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 12-Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb of Royston, Ga, and Ma
poleon Rucker of Crabapple, Ca, will
meet this fall on the Atlanta Automo-
bile Associations speedway IN a match
race for the speedway championship
Of the big leagues.
Cobb is battling bravely now for pos
session OF the automobile offered Tor
the big leagues best batter this year,
and stands a good show OF winning 1t.
If he does, he may drive that machine
against Fuckers own car. If the men
DO not drive their own machines they
will use cars selected from the array
that will be on hand for the fall races.
Cobb has long been an automobile
bug of the most pronounced type.
Last fall he drove a machine in the
New York-to-Atlanta run, and was
one of the warmest fans at the speed
way meet.
Rucker is a driver of several years
standing. One day few years back
he walked into a local agency, said he
wanted to look at an automobile,
found one that suited his fancy, and
nearly knocked the salesman cold by
peeling the coin off monumental roll
of bills and driving away in the ma
chine.
1t has not been decided In just what
sort of a race the famous Cracker ball
players will meet, but it win probably
be in a ten-mi1e affair
They have agreed to drive a heat
day. and they will be allowed to select
their own distance. 1t is likely that
they will pick ten miles.
1t is suspected that the news that
these two men will race on the At
lanta speedway will not be hailed with
any great amount of Joy by President
Navin of the Detroit team and Ebbets
of the Brooklyn team. Navin would
probably consider the fact that he has
first call on Cobb's services worth
$40 900 or $4,000. 1t isn't every day
that man picks up the greatest ball
player In the world, and when he is
once cornered he is worth money. But
# he happened to break his neck on
an automobile track 1t would mean
dead loss of a large amount of coin.
Rucker Is not, of course, such a
drawing card as Cobb. but he is worth
a lot of money. 1t is doubtful If $4,000
would buy him-probably 1t would
take more. So that means that Pres
ident Ebbets Is not going to be SO
tickled either.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON GIVES
CLEAN BILL TO LAJ0IE

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-President john
son of the American league announced
tonight that Umpire Evans, in a de-
tailed report regarding the Lajoie in
cident at st. Louis last Sunday, had
given Lajoie an absolutely clean bill
in relation to his securing eight hits
in a double-header.
The report was not made public but
will be when President johnson has
completed his investigation and is
ready to announce his decision.
With the debate regarding Lajoie's
performance becoming more heated
daily, President Johnson is said to
have offered as the best solution of
the matter the returning of the auto
mobile prize to the donors of the
award.
That, in the league presidents opin-
ion, would be very unpleasant, but in
order to reward the players he would
have the averages declared a tie and
have the league present suitable prizes
to both Lajoie and Cobb

Ten Thousand
Victims Yearly
Liquor Now Claiming Terrible Quota Of
Neutrality-suspicious. Enemies of
Civilization.

with 250OOO saloons claiming one
hundred times ten thousand victims
every year in the United States-with
millions of wives and mothers pleading
with binding tears for the discontin-
uance of the disturbance of their homes
there is presented a serious problem
to every American who is not dead to
the touch of humanity. Judge Wal
lace.
1t is true that the drink habit pre-
sents one of the greatest tragedies Of
civilization. And the fact that it is so
utterly useless makes it the more of
tragedy. Philanthropists and scientists
have been engaged for many years in
the work of ascertaining how to cure
drunkenness. 1t is thought by those
pushing the present-day reforms along
this line that the one and only thing to
do is to prohibit the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquor and stop making ii. They
did not claim that this would cure those
already addicted to the habit, but think
it will protect the coming generation.
The trouble with this system is that
the confirmed drunKard must be cured
of the habit or he will have the liquor
in spite of the prohibition. But if the
confirmed drunkard gets liquor, the
young boy also gets it, and so acquires
the taste.
WHAT Is BEING DONE
The only sure method is to cure the
confirmed drinker as well as prohibit
the sale of liquor. His system is filled
with a poison that must be destroyed
before the craving for liquor will leave
him. The only remedy known which
will absolutely take away all desire for
intoxicating liquors is THE NEAL
CURE. In three days it will destroy
the alcoholic poisoning which creates
the craving for liquor. Although The
Neal Cure is a recnt' discovery, insti-
tutfons for treating patients are being
established all over the country. One
was recently established in Topeka,
Kansas, at 1900 West Tenth street.
