A certain class of newspapers seem
to find their choicest delight in mis-
representing the present national
administration. The slightest faults
are magnified and distorted aud in
some instances plainly falsifed In
order to put the president in an un-
favorable light and to discredit him
with the public. The attempt to
create the impression that he is in
league with "the interests" deceived

RAILROADS BACK DOWN.

The prompt and energetic action OF
President Taft and the government s
legal department in starting in
junction suits against the big railway
corporations. to restrain them from
making the great raise in freight
rates which they, had intended to
put into effect on June 1, has borne
rich fruit promptly and is decided
victory for the president.
Last week after Senator LaFollette
had made a speech declaring that
decisive action should be taken to
resist this increase, he found that the
president had already taken action of
the most positive character, and that
all details had been planned out days
before and everything placed in readi-
ness to start injunction proceeding
against the offending, companies
When service was secured against
the roads they put up a great
remonstrance and demanded that the
matter be left with the interstate
commerce commission but this the
government contended was out of
the question for the reason that under
the law as it at present exists the
commission has no power to control
such matters. The new rate bill,
which is now before congress and its
passage strongly urged by the presi-
dent. will give the commission such
power.
Finding the government uuyieldipg
in its position. a number of railroad
presidents sought a conference with
President Taft Monday, as result of
which they agreed to make no increase
of rates for least ten months. dur
ing which the Interstate commerce
commission should have time and op-
portunity for investigating whether
their contention for an increase is
right or not.

A Knitted Costume.

A new costume for walking is a
skirt and jacket of hand-knitted wool.
Tt is of a soft cinnamon brown and
fits the figure snugly. A high collar
buttons at the side, from which the
long Jacket is fastened in a straight
line by hone buttons. A wide leather
belt below the waist gives a Norfolk
effect. TO complete this costume,
which Paris has accepted, tiny wool
en- muff edged with fur is carried. 1t

holsters, but its recommendation lies
in its lack Of weight, very important

FOURTEEN ERRORS OF LIFE.

The Ia mistakes of life are:
To expect to set up our own stand

everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment OF

To expect uniformity of opinion in

To look for judgment and experience

To endeavor to mold all dispositions

Not to yield in unimportant trifles.
To look for projections in our own

To worry ourselves and others about

Not to alleviate if we can all that

Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible

To believe only what our finite minds

To live as if the moment, the time,

To estimate people by some out

most of which are changed every day
and sometimes three times during a
game. In 1909, when the hint had
gone through the American league that
the New York team was stealing sig
mails, the Chicago White Sox changed
signals nine times in one game, no sig
nal meaning the same thing in any two
innings.
There is no betrayal of secrets to
explain how these signals are used or
what they are, since they are changed
so often that they may mean anything.
Chance usually signals for a runner to
try to steal by changing places with
some one on the bench. He orders hit
and run plays by looking over the bats.
He orders double steals by lifting his
cap and sometimes varies this by using
the names of players. II he calls
"Sheckard he means steal, If
Schultz" hit and run, if "Hofman,

Trained watchers at baseball games

dreds Of games, seldom observe the sig
mails or understand what is happening
In one game Chicago player, in de-
fiance of Chances orders, insist upon
remaining at first base after receiving an
order to steal. Possibly the runner
thought the opposing pitcher had caught
the signal and was watching him toe
closely. Whatever the reason he did
not run, The batter allowed two strikes
to go over without moving to hit the
ball. The crowd was bowling at the

way. In other words, laundering or be-
ing outgeneraled by the batsman
Out OF the 5l71 grounders the play
ers actually reached all except 2l3, or
about .05l per cent, whereas on the
natural chances of covering the ground
they should have reached only about
500 per cent instead of 959 per cent
of batted balls. The figures seem to
show that by team work they were en-
abled to get in touch with 159 per
cent more batted balls than the ge-
ometry OF the diamond would indicate.
The geometry of the game becomes
more complex the deeper it is studied.
Not only must the players on the in
field know when to start IN given dl-
rection, but they must know exactly
what angle to take TO meet each ball.
to meet the running speed of each bat-
ter, If. for instance, "Lary' Me-
Lean of Cincinnati hits the ball, a
second baseman VIII run backward, his
path and the path of the ball meeting
in an acute angle, II Miller Higgins
is the batter he will run forward max
ing the lines meet In an obtuse angle
Moreover, they know to a nicely just
where they must meet n ball Of any
given speed. and they start there al
most instlnctivcly Oddly enough, the
men can go much faster toward certain
points than toward others, even when
they are of equal speed, and they can,
If they Judge the speed of'the ball and

thcr by reaching the spot in the ball's
path toward which they can travel
fastest. But all that is mechanical
and babitual IT is the inside game

tend the reach of thc arms.

we're going in opposite directions when

were going in opposite directions wheh
the ball was hit.
There is no play on the diamond in
which the Importance of lnheld signal
ing is so openly demonstrated to spec
tators as when a runner on hrst ana
another on third base arc planning TO
attempt double steal, either straight
or DELAYED. When that situation arises

the coachers, batter and the basemen

To show how closely the two teams
watch each other i'll that situation:
Cincinnati was playing Chicago with
Frank Roth catching for the former
team Runners were on first and third.
Roth signalcd to the pitcher for
curve; Chance saw the signal and
flashed delayed double steal order.
Higgins caught that signal, the Reds
switched positions rapidly, and Roth
signed for n pitch The pitch'out
signal was detected by Kane. who was
cooching, and Chance signaled for
change The result was the runners
held their bases, and tho pitcher wasted
ball. Roth signnled again, the inheld
changed. and Chance ordered the de-
laved steal. Roth was warned and or
dered another pitch-cut, but no sooner
had he flashed that signal and Chance
had ordered another wait, than Roth
ordered a fast straight ball pitched
thinking to out.guess Chance But as
Roth changed his signal Chance, guess
ing he would do exactly that thing
sipnaled n hit and run, with tho re-
suit that base hit tore through the
infield and broke up the gamo.
The great danger to the defense on
the double steal is that unless n pitch,

between home and second base and
gaps thlrty-fve feet wide are left on
both sides of the pitcher If the batter

the defenders have been led to expect
an attempt at the latter play, the
chances of the batter hitting safe a,e

bunt expected or feared. the entire in
field is "tied up' and the chances of
the ball being batted safe are more
than doubled.
The primary object in signaling IS
to enable the defensive players to start
In the direction the ball is expected to
be hit, and this is more important when
runners are on bases than at other
times. A player in motion can travel
twelve feet while one who is "fat
footed when the ball is hit is get
ting under way. If the pitcher blunders,
disaster results, as the players in mo-
tion seldom can recover and field the
ball if it is hit in the opposite direction.
It is in that respect that "control' is
the greatest element in a pitcher g
success. But it is ability to hit all
around the field that makes great bat
ters Men like LaJoie, Wagner, Leach,
Evers and the late "Cozy' Dolan, who
can "pull, push and poke that is,
twist their bats and hit in unexpected
directions-break up the inside game
and win many contests.
| always shall believe that Detroit lost
the world g championship of 1909 either
through bad infield signaling or through
too much signaling from the bench.
Detroit IS system is rather intricate and
confusing because Jennings continually
signals from the bench and the coach
ing lines. His signals TO batters arc
given with hands during his famous
grass pulling, and with his legs while
doing his famous "E-yah' act. From
the bench, however he uses sometime es
