GETS Home
ON BUNT HIT

The Southern League furnishes a
story Of a home run bunt that won a
game.
1t seems that there was man on
first and that the batter was instruct
ed to lay down a bunt 1ic put a roller
toward third, the first basemal was
drawn iu, and the second baseman
covered first
The third baseman threw to first.
Everybody saw the ball ON the way.
lt hit the baseman's glove and--dis-
appeared. When the hunt for the ball
began the first runner was hugaing
second while the batter overrun FIRST
and stumbled and fell out i'm right field.
He quickly got up, retouched lirsL
ran to second and persuaded the other
man TO run ahead OF him home with
the winning runs.
Everybody thought the BAN was lost
in the grass, and finally it was found
i'm risht Gcld. How 1t got there was q
mystery until the man who hit zinc
bunt explained.
1t appears that the bali bounced from
the second baseman's glove and bound
ed up under the runners arm as II,
sprinted past the bag. The runner
/ closed his arm down tight, kept on rum
ming, gave a stage fall out i'm righ
/ field and dropped the ball.

TRAINING FOR
THE UMPTRES
Griffith Thinks They Need
Spring Limbering up Like
Players

Should the umpires be compelled to
20 south in the spring with the oah
players TO get in condition?
That wise old fox, Clark Griffith, is
strenuously advocating il. and the un-
pires are already commencing to grum-
BILE. Their plea is that they are al
ready overworked and underpaid.
But to come down to brass tacks
WHY shouldn't an umpire be made to
get into condition as well as the play
ers2 They need it as badly as the
players
An umpire grows stale during the
winter as well as a player. After a
long rest IL is as hard for the arbitra-
tor TO follow the course Of a swirl ball
over the pan as It IS for a pitcher to
get into tip top condition. lt takes a
couple of weeks of real work for am
umpire to get going as well as any
one else, which is nothing but natural
And why should the umpire take his
training during the first few weeks OF
the championship season and az the
expenes OF the various teams? Grif-
fith's suggestion looks like a mighty
good one. and one which both major
leagues should adopt The big leagues
could well afford 20 pay the expenses
OF the umpires south and send them
about from camp 20 camp TO oficiate
at tho practice games. And "a good
strict umpire In practice games Us q
good thing for the teams, for II viii
make the players realize that the
spring training Is quite serious mat
ter after all.
And IT the jumps would do some
thing like this to improve themselves
not that they need IL, there might be-
something doing in the higher salary
line. II would tend 20 make the ohi-
cheney Of the umpires better and ther
they could justly howl for more money
and have a better chance TO get 1t
SO the system would work 10 advan-
tage in two ways, help both the arbi.
traitor and the game.

no way of judging the performances

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. There are

lanthropist, and his nephew, Chrisman
Swope.
The official statement is made by
three surgeons that toXicoIogists had
found strychnine in the bodies of Colo
mel Swope and his nephew
Promise of immediate criminal pros
ecution is made by John G. Paxton, at
torney for and executor of the Swope
estate.
Suits aggregating 100000 have been
filed against Mr.. Paxton, DR.. Frank
J. Hall and DR.. Edward l.. Stewart by
DIR. Bennett Clarke Hyde, husband of
Colonel Swope's niece, alleging SANDER
in statements that he poisoned the two
men and inoculated other members Of
the family with typhoid fever germs.
The petition in the first suit for
100000 alleges that Mr.. Paxton made
statements that DR.. Hyde was guilty
of poisoning Colonel Swope and Chris
man Swope. The second suit names
Drs. Hall and Stewart with Mr.. Pax
ton and asks 100000 for alleged

When political boss secures the
nomination of good citizen, in order
to utilize that citizens character as a
campaign asset, it is usually assumed
that the citizen, if elected, ought to
bow down before the boss and lick his
boots in gratitude. Woodrow Wilson,
the newly elected governor of New
Jersey, doesn't see things in that light.
He considers that in such case.
honors are easy as between the citi-
zen and the boss, and refuses to wear
the machine collar. Smith gave Will
son the nomination, Wilson pulled the
ticket through on election day. And
now Wilson feels that his obligation
is rather to the people who elected
him than to the boss who nominated
him. Say, what's the matter with
Woodrow Wilson? He's all right
