Players Complain.

Many players from the different leagues
of the minor arena register complaints
about the manner in which the pitchers
arc allowed to deceive the base runner.
The unpires in the various minor league
circuits are entirely too lenient with the
pitchers They never call balk unless
It is practically a half. movement TO
pitch the ball. and then sudden discon-
tinuance of all effort to pitch-a breach
of the rules SO thoroughly palpable that
there is nothing left to do but fixing the
penalty. Base running should be en-
couraged throughout the field. 1t is a
spectacular feature. and one that thor
oughly arouses the interest of the spec
tators. Base running is an asset that
would figure more generally in the matter
Of augmentng the attendance figures
than one now realizes, II this features of
the game were given a fair chance.

The Finish.

Wnen the men stepped IOrID tommy

to wade straight in and slug. taking a
desperate chance. Jack walked in. swing
ing wildly onlysto receive sting after
sting upon nose and jaw. In less than
thirty seconds he was swinging fran
| ticalIy, and not only wild, but as slow
as log. Mccoy danced back and cur
vetted forward, that mocking smile al
ways on his face and those hands work
ing like piston rods. He was srnothering
Mccormick and Jack was numbering and
shaking like ship in a stormy sea.
Near the edge of the stage, almost
where the ropes guarded the boxers from
stepping into the footlights, Mccormick
started an overland right. 1t was not
a swing, straight punch or uppercut. Ii
was sent forward with ABOUT tne move
ment a man uses in throwing the ham,
mer, and it went so slowly that every
body I'm the house could see it as 1t be-
gan. Travelled and finished. The graceful.
laughing Mccoy ducked his head away
from it's track and then snapped his head
forwerd-and miscalemated. Right at
the end of the arc the huge fist hit him
full upon the chin with all the weight
of AIcCornick's bulky body behind il.
Mccoy toppled over exactly like a tree
struck by lightning. and his head hit the
floor with a gorgeous thump. Twice the
head bounced up and down like rubber
ball and then settled back immovable
MaIachy Hogan counted ten, but there
was no need. Mccoy was done.
1t was one of the strangest knockouts
ever seen in any ring. and undoubtedly
the strangest one ever received by the
suave MCCOY. Mccormick, had be been
wise could have made a lot OF money
on the reputation he gained by that blow
but he was foolish enough to meet Nc
Coy again with little delay, and the Kid
handed him a fearful trimming, getting
vengeance and dousing Jacks light for
ever as a first-class luminary.

''BALK RULE" IS NOT
STRICTLY ENFORCED
Base Stealing Hampered by
Umpire's Failure to Pun
iSh Pitchers.

No rule in base ball is more specific
than the ''balS rule, yet none is more
generally .disregarded. H. G. Merrill
states il as his opinion, In Sporting
News. that this matter, should be at
tended to by the rule makers. and more
encouragement given base running. He
states:
The illegality OF the work OF pitchers
who attempt to catch base runners. and
which many times is permitted 10 sue
coed, is recognized by the critics every
where. Somehow the impression that
protests will be of no avail has gained
sway, and perhaps this is the true condi-
ton of affairs.
Manlfestly the rule makers should make
it imperative for the umpires to pay a
more rigid adherence to the matter Of en-
forcing the balk rule provisions with the
single purpose of protecting base running
There is nothing ambiguous in the
wording of the rule concerning baking
THE pitcher is not to be permitted to
make any movement that may deceive
the base runner and cause the latter to
think the former is about to pitch the
ball toward the batsman.
Difficult to Recognize.
The balk rule does not carry with it
anything that permits the umpire to eS-
ercise his Judgment in the matter OF. in
terpretation Nine out Of ten of the base
runners caught mapping are deceived by
some movement OF this sort on the part
of the pitcher, and both the base runner
and the umpire realize that 1t is mighty
seldom that the umpire measures up to
the requirements of the occasion, and so
declares the play.
Every one admits that one of the most
popular features Of the great national
game is the base running, and. as said
before, this feature is discouraged IN
stead of fostered. BY restricting the
pitcher in the book of rules alone, moth
ing is done to encourage the base running
but by enforcing the rules and thus keep
ing the pitcher within the required limits,
compelling him to face the batsman. and.
at.the~ same time, cutting out all move
ments and gyrations calculated to 0e-
ceive the base runner--which, in truth.
are really studied efforts to induce him go
leave his base-the base running will be
enhanced and the player be protected in
his efforts to steal bases. The most aS-
gravating thing spectator can see Is a
player trapped between bases on what
was a manifest and palpable balk by the
pitcher.

though losing the decision. Hence this
fight went through without any bets of
any kind, and the sudden downfall of Nc
Coy brought nobody any revenue. Too
bad that men cannot read the stars-what
a fortune could have been reaped by any
one who could have foretold the finish:
Mccoy at this time was lightning fast,

ence that made him superior to most men

mick, though far larger, was slow and
lumbering-a man who could make a

old London rules. Against Mccoy he
seemed to have no show, and the crowd
that came to the Star that night came
to see an exhibition of McCoy's boxing
skill and not genuine, fairly matched
battle.
