RLACKMAN
Was TOO
MERCIFUL

Principal L. G. Blackman of Alto
lani College, Kaimuki, was summon
ed to appear in the police court this
morning to answer to a charge pre-
ferred by the mother of one of the
boys, who claims that Mr.. Blackman
treated her son with cruelty.
The facts of the case are known,
and it is a matter of surprise to those
familiar with the truth, that there
should be any complaint against the
principal of the school,
The boy got less than he deserved.
Had he been a man he would be on
the reef in short order and he is like
ly to land there yet unless he mends
his ways. He has been expelled, for
mighty good cause, and is lucky not
to be charged with the criminal Of
fence Of which witnesses say he is
guilty. Two other boys, having guilty
knowledge Of the affair in which the
boy referred to is the offender and
who themselves were guilty of highly
reprehensible acts, are now in the in.
dustrial school.
Unless the parent wishes the char
acter of her 17-year-old son advertis-
ed, the case Is likely to be nolle pro-
SECUTED.
Blackman is spoken Of by the boys
of the popular college out Kaimuki
way as just and kind instructor and
principal, and every decent boy of the
institution declares that the whip
ping administered to the guilty ones
was well deserved, and that Black
man is extremely merciful in not lay.

SCORING
SACRIFICE HITS

Manager Griffith of the Cincinnati
baI. club made a suggestion with re-
gard to the scoring of sacrifice hits,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Under the present system two
kinds of acrifce hits are scored.
When a batter with a man on base
and less than two men out, delibe-
rately hunts the ball with the intention
of advancing the preceding runner,
at the probable cost of being thrown
out at first base himself said batter
is credited with q sacrifice hit, which
eXempts him for time at bat, and
therefore benefits his batting average
This is the regular sacrifice and always
has been scored as such in recent
years Two years ago another kind OF
sacrifice hit was added to the list.
When a batter hits a long fly to the
outfield, with a man on third base
and less than two men are out he is
credited with n sacrifice hit, provided
hat the runner is able to score from
third after the catch. The idea is
that a man who can bring in a valuable
tally, at the cost of declared out him
sell, is entitled to the benefit of not
being charged with time at bat.
This innovation was introduced into
the rules at the request of Billy Muir
ray at that time manager of the
Philadelphia team. The theory was
that it was scarcely fair to charge a
player with a time at bat when, by his
efforts, a run which possibly might
decide the game, was scored. 1t was
believed that the rule would be an
incentive to the batter to try to drive
out long hits to the outfield when
there was a runner on base. AS a
matter of fact, the rule has not work.
ed any too well. No manager ever In
trusts a batter to go up to the plate
and go out ON a long fly ball. What
he says is something like this, when
that situation arises: Go on Rp
there, Bill, and bring in the run" He
hopes for a base hit and the batter
does the same. 1t is a rare thing for
a batter to go to the bat with the
deliberate intention of hitting a long
fly. He tries for hit and the fly is
usually the miscue of his efforts.

On the other hand the bunt sacri-
flee is always intentional. Of course,
the bunter goes to first base as fast
as he can and endeavors to beat out the
hit, but his first idea is to advance
the runner ahead of him. Before the
Introduction of the sacrifice fly to the
outfield the record of sacrifice hits
meant something to the student of
dope. He could tell from the averages,
at glance, how proficient any player
was in laying down hunts. With the
sacrifice-fly rule, however, the records
are not so clear. For instance, Jimmy
Sheckard Of the Cubs led the National
league in sacrifice hits last year, with
forty-siX to his credit, which was very
many more than any other player OBJ
tanned. Jimmy is a clever bunter, but
he is also long hitter No one can
tell from the figures just. how many out
his forty-siX sacrifice hits were hunts
and how many were flies to out
field. The value of the sacrifice-hlt
column is deprecated by the intro
duction of the long-fy rule
Manager Griffith has given this
point some Thought, and his idea is
that either bunts only Should count
as sacrifice hits or that all fair balls
which advance a base runner at the
expense Of the batter being put out
should be called sacrifice hits. That
is, ne either would return to the whole
hog or none. He would return to the
old way of scoring sacrifice hits, giving
credit for one only when a player
hunted or he would call everything
that advanced a runner a sacrifice He
contends that, if a long fly which
scores runner from third base ia 20
be called a sacrifice, then a slow
grounder which accomplishes the same
result is just as much entitled to
that credit. Very often a runner Is
scored from third by a ground bah
which bounds over the pitchers head
and cannot be fielded in time to get the
man at the plate though the batter is
THROWN out at first. This kind of a
hit does the club just as much good
as a long fly and is entitled to the
same consideration. So. in Grifith's
opinion, is any kind or AN out which
enables preceding runner to advant e
base, whether he scores or not. If
runner is advanced from second
to third on an out the batter should
be entitled to sacrifice hit. even II he
did not bunt the ball. This seems to
be much fairer to the batter than to
single out one kind OF and out and
call it a sacrifice, to the exclusion OF
other kinds, which may be just as
helpful to the team.

Bible and Obsolete Words.

The te~rcentenary edition of the Eng
fish authorized edition of the Bible,
over which there was a conference
of learned men In Princeton last week,
is to have some changes. Where the
meaning of words has changed. the
text Is to be changed so as not to be
misleading; where the old version Is
obscure 1t will be changed in the In
terest of clearness; where 1t Is In
felicitous in choice of word that will
be set right. and for words that have
become obsolete others will be substi-
tuted. Damage could be done on all
of these lines, but happily the work is
in the hands of men of taste and judg-
ment, who will make no change for
the mere sake of change.
AS to obsolete words, 1t may be said
that no word that is in the Bible can
become obsolete. The Bible words
live and undoubtedly the English
Bible has done a service to the Eng
fish language in keeping some good
words in use that might otherwise
have passed out of it. Let" in the
sense of hinder is said to be con-
demmed by the revisers, and perhaps
rightly, but 1t was a good old word in
that use of it.-Harper's Weekly.

Ubiquitous Golf.

George Sargent, the golf champion,
said one afternoon at Hyde Manor,
Vermont:
Golf has become SO popular that
II is mixed up with everything. You
wouldn't think that golf could have
any relation to taxicabs and music,
would you? But the other day.
apropos of taxicabs. a New York
man told me that all the golf sticks
of New York were becoming wry-
necked. New York golf players, he
explained, ride to the ferries In taxi
cabs. and their sticks get wry-neck-
ed from twisting round to watch
the dimes mount up on the taxi
metre.
Then, on the way to the next
hole. our talk turned to grand opera,
and the New York man declared that
the other day his baby daughter. TAX
ing up the score of Electra pointed
to a group of quarter-notes and said:
Papa, how does one play those
little golf sticks?'"

WHALE STRANGLES ITSELF
With Wire Rope While
Feeding.

From Seattle comes a remarkable
story. brought into port by a cable re.
pair ship. This ship had been sent
north along the coast of Alaska TO re-
pair the cable. because during the
last winter difficulty had been expert
enced In sending and receiving mes
sages.
The vessel picked up the cable con.
Meeting Valdez and Sitka a few miles
off Cook inlet not far from Sitka. The
crew never had such a time hauling
a cable on board as they did that day
on the Alaska coast. Finally the cause
of the great weight a found.
Some time during the winter a
whale, feeding on the bottom of the
ocean with wide-open mouth, collided
with the wire rope.
Unable to shake the big wire from
the mass of whalebone In It's jaws, the
big fish turned turtle rolled over
once, turned round. rolled again and
dived.
In these few moments the fish proved
himself his own hangman, for the
cable was twisted tighter about the
head OF the whale than any mortal
could have twisted 1t with the most
powerful machinery.
The whale drowned and the carcass
was devoured on the bottom Of the
ocean by other fish. The crew of the
cable repair ship hauled up an i'm
mense load of whalebone, and found
a great twist in the government cable
that had been the cause of the un-
usual difficulty in sending messages
to and from either end of the rope.

his henyard, b ackof the barn, take a
look at the biddies, and then gather
them an armful of green stuff from
the adjoining garden and give 1t to
them before going to his own dinner.
No doubt he was himself a good
liver, and in thus caring for his hens
expected they, in return, would liber-
ally contribute to his own wants,
which, of course, they did.
