Mr.. Messmore appeals to the court in the
interest of people who are now without
water. his attorney says. and asks to have
the money 10 be expended for the proposed
reservoir used for the construction OF new
mains.
Members Of the Water board were not
served with notices OF the suit until after
1t was filed and after they had completed
all OF the details connected with awarding
contracts for the new reservoir and the
new pumping machinery. They were not in.
clined to take the matter seriously, and
felt certain that the court would not grant
an Injunction after a statement OF the facts
was submitted. City Solicitor Kimban had

The GentIe Art Of Base Stealing.

In the May American Magazine Hugh
S. Fullerton, the baseball authority, be-
gins a new series OF articles. The FIRST
article is on the art Of base STEALING
Ii is filled with stories and interesting
points. Following is brief extract
Base stealing, the gentle art of
sprinting and hitting the dirt is the
finest drawn and most closely calculat
ed play in baseball and the one that,
above all others, reveals the methemati.
cal exactitude of the national game.
A player who can run eighty-fve feet
In three and one-third seconds from
ilat-footed start, ought TO reach second
base exactly tied with the ball, nine
times out of ten starts. if the play is
perfectly made by the runner, pitcher,
catcher and baseman, The slightest in
accuracy or hesitation decides the play.
1T seems simple matter to run
ninety feet while ball is being thrown
sixty-eight feet and caught and thrown
back approximately one hundred and
thirty-two feet, caught again and held
in position to touch the runner Yet
there is art and science in the feat.
All pennant winning teams are base
running teamsI every manager urges
base running, tries to train his men to
il; and then, except in rare instances,
refuses TO permit them to run, and
plays the hit.and-run and sacrifice game
instead
THE figures show that the sacrifice
hits average about one-third more per
season than the stolen bases, and that
the hit and run is used sixty per cent.
oftener (this in major leagues) than
stealing bases. The figures also prove
that base stealing succeeds in about six
ty.three per cent Of the times tried,
and the hit and ran in less than sixty
six per cent, and further that the hit
and run results in double plays in al
most seven per cent. of the times it is
attempted. In the face OF these figures
and Of the expressed desired to increase
base running, few managers will order
base running attack except when the
pitcher opposing his team is VIGOROUSLY
weak at holding up runners and watch
ing the bases
