WANTED TO MOB
LONGENECKER

A. G. Longanecker, formerly of
this city, is one of the umpires in
the Twilight league in British Co
lumbia and was principal in lively
row between Edmonton and Calgary.
The following from the Edmonton
Journal gives the particulars:
One of the baseball rules which
is strictly followed in the United
States, although seldom mentioned,
is that relating to uniforms. A
team might have half dozen sub
stitutes on the bench, but could not
use one of them unless he was in
proper uniform. Neither managers
nor players ever think. of infringing
On this rule, SO it passes unnoticed.
Now that the Twilight league has
nice row on it's hands owing to the
carelessness and foolishness of Moose
Baxter, and the lack of tact on the
part Of Umpire Longanecker, there
will not be further oversight in this
matter.
The score was 4 to 8 in favor Of
Calgary in the eighth inning, with
two out and two on bases. Accord
ing to the Edmonton Journal, Moose
Baxter, captain of the Edmonton
team, which was at bat, decided to
send Ward up in place of Dell, but
did not make the announcement to
the umpire. Ward, who was not in
uniform, tried to take Dell's place.
Bill Carney, manager of Calgary, OBJ
jected. He was strictly within his
rights. The umpire ruled in favor
of Carney, but instead of using his
authority to give Edmonton a little
time to correct their technical error
regarding the uniform, he ordered
the pitcher to proceed. One ball was
pitched. 1t cut the place for strike.
Before the next was delivered, Moose
Baxter ran out, stood on the plate
and caught the ball as it came up
to him. Here was the rankest kind
of interference, so the fact that Stub
Spencer crossed the plate from third
does not entitle Edmonton to claim
that the tying score came over.
The umpire called for police pro-
lection, and got it. Then he for
feited the game to Calgary. The
crowd tried to mob the umpire, but
the police took him out of danger.
Carney and the police alone did the
right thing. 1t is not known whe-

About so ball teams leave San Fran
cisco every Sunday to play in the
bush" Some of them go as far north
as Grass Valley and as far south as Sa-
linas on the coast and to visalia in the
San Joaquin valley. Besides the city
teams which make these trips there are
many country leagues which settle the
baseball supremacy every Sunday to ex-
cited crowds. The players on the city
teams seldom receive money for their
services, except possibly when the angel
of the team has made side bet or there
is great rivalry between the teams. It
will not be long, however, before the
city player who bushes it, will be get
ting money. Henry Heitmuller, who is
rated as the king of bush managers,
says that "the bushers are all out after
the coin these days and every fellow
who can swing bat wants the big rec
ompense before he will take the trip to
alfalfa" Some of the players still go
just for the love of the game, others go
for the trip to the country and those
with big bush" aspirations go for the
experience. These bush" teams are
the kindergartens for the major leagues
and the managers always keep a watch

famous California ball players served
their time in the pushes; in fact, It
would be difficult to find player either
in the big league or the California
league who had not at one time played
in the bush"
The teams have suits given them by
some San Francisco business house for
advertising purposes. After this bit of
philanthropy on the part of the busi-
nessmen their duty ends and the get
ting of players and the arranging of
games lie wholly in the hands of the
manager, who works for glory and a
future reward in the baseball haven.
Upon the manager depends the strength
of the team. his personality and ability
to place players in the league teams
being the only means he has of holding
good players. A manager of a local
music house ball team has one of the
strongest bush" teams in the state for
this reason.
The "busher" is not held infvery high
regard in many localities because of the
rowdyism and rudeness of certain
teams, who take coarseness for wit and
rough housing" for play. AS result,
the bush" team is put up at the worst
hotels in the village, where bathtubs
and j tablec1pths are but memories.
Happ9ly this condition of affairs is
changing. a little through the action of
the better behaved teams, which are as
orderly and quiet as Y. M. c. A. sun

the cruel operation of foot binding,
although the girl be in her seventeenth
year.
We all know the Chinese girls must
have their feet bound. Certain tribes,
however, in the southern provinces are
whereof it is hard to find. Practically
500 years have passed since the Tar
tars forced the Chinese to wear the
queue as a badge of subjection and

now. from an artistic standpoint, pro-
test. During these three centuries not
one OF the many great emperors who
have occupied the throne OF China has
found himself secure enough TO abolish
the unnatural and cruel custom of foot
b nding. No other purely nonreligious
custom is so dear to the Chinese heart
o. SO strongly illustrates the Chinese
Characteristic of being willing to en-
Sure great sufferings for the sake of

tain dusky maidens in South Africa.
The victims themselves simply smile
and plead not guilty.
To the grandmother usually falls the
task of foot binding, and, that the best
results may follow. a knife is not in
frequently employed. Still, in spite of
the suffering this cruelty entails, one
marveis at the dexterity the little
cripples display in tossing the shuttle
cock, either foot being used as a bat
tledore. Much family trouble, they
urge, is avoided by the custom. Slave
girls whose feet are but slightly bound
prove constant source of trouble to
their masters. Their locomotion is
practically unretarded and they find
many young love sick men who are
willing to seek their fortune in COM
pany with them.
BY some strange logic of the Celestial
mind. it is inferred that the mistress
would follow her slaves example were
her chances of escape not reduced to
minimum by foot binding. In Peking
itself and in the central part of the en-
pire foreign influence towards the re-
form of this useless and cruel custom
has begun to make itself felt. Not
many miles from the imperial capital
this cruel custom is carried on with un-
abated activity, and the present regime
finds its hands full without mixing in
the foot binding question. 1t is well
known that Chinese ladies. returning to
their provincial homes from Shanghai,
where they have enjoyed the compara-
tive freedom and liberty of foreign
boarding school, have been forced by
public sentiment to rebind their feet.
Once a foreigner fully realizes what
face" means to a Chinese man or
woman. the problem involved in foot
binding loses all its intricacy.
