ter. The genial president Of the amateur
/ commission has been very anxious about

time 10 attend 10 his business and base
ball duties.
President BolgianO announced yesterday
that all games in the post-season series
would start promptly at O'Clock when
possible. but that thirty minutes grace
would be allowed before any game was
declared forfeited.
Joe HandTboe thinks that he was hand
ed a raw deal because he was not named
as one Of the post-season umpires. Joe
| Is a good umpire and deserves considera-
/ ton. His work has been OF the best all
the year and we are sorry to note that it
was impossible TO use his services in the
| present series.
Bryan Morse. the Commissioners crack
first basemsn and Outhelder, has a trick
which. so far as We know. is new in am
ateur baseball here. When on third
base and with a throw from third 20
catch him al the plate. Morse runs a Bit
inside the diamond. but we'll in the limit
allowed the runner, so that he placed his
! body between the bail and the catcher
/ When he thinks the ball Is about due he
swerves 10 one side and slides in feet
first The catcher seldom can Judge the
! throw accurately, and generally a tumble
/ follows. Occasionally our friend Morse
gets a hot one IN the back. but then that
\ isn't the way the play should be made.
AS he explains fl. you should slide before
the ball hits you in the COCO. Very nice.
