CHASE'S NEW GROUND-GAINING PLAY

Unexpectedly tnt Cat-uel M. lAiON 10 second 10 eaten aim
between the bases. The minute the catcher draws back
his arm TO throw TO second the runner on third makes a
dasA for the plate. IT will take two perfect throws to get
him and Hal Chase says the runner from third VIII beat 1t
eight times OUT OF ten. There IL a possibility of the catcher
throwing to third. II he does the runner stationed there can
stick to the bag. Then II the third basoman throws to-
second he has a chance to scoot for the plate and make the
same play,
Hal Chase thinks so well OF the play that he is going to
incorporate It In his repertoire The play has another ad-
vantage IN the fact that II the catcher does not "fal for
the trick" the runner from second will be 80 close TO third
that both runners can score on anything that looks like q
hit or an error.
The evening world., 1911-06-24
HlLLTOPS HA We GOOD
CHANCE TO WIN FLAG

In addition to being a great player.
Chase has proved that he knows a
good ball player when he sees one. In
young Fitzgerald he has picked up the
outiield md OF the season. This young
fellow, who Is about the size Of Josh
Devore. Is as fast as lightning and can
hit like a streak. Yesterday no made
two hits. one Of which would have been
a three-bagger but for the fact that he
neglected TO touch second In passing
the bag. The next time up Fitzgerald
made the hardest luck hit of the year.
with two on bases, he damned one
toward third that went like a bullet.
IL would have been an easy t~wo-bagger,
but the buzslng ball struck the sack
at third base and was going with such
force that Il bounded back into the
diamond. Instead OF clearing the bases,
he only filled them, and the next bat
ter proved an easy out.
nv the Uov, I otre YOUNG Mr..
~FitssgerdId an apology. Tpo days
ago, tchen he ran into a double play
by Leaving his base on q dy ball. he
pas charged 10Th hdrtnO pulled a
sfapid play. As a matter Of fact.
Charlie Homphil. Who ,0as coach
ing, told the younO %coils0tdn to
make the play, so that the side
could be retired aud tho game could
De ended before the rain began.
The mistake tods due TO one Of the
uisiting players, toho remarked AZ
ter the game that FttsDerdid acct
dentoIiv pulled tho play that saved
the game.
Umpire KLEIN and Catcher Roger
Bresnahan had a INST nght at the con-
cluslon of the game between the Reds
and the Cardinals. and the result " u
probably be that both are indhnitel,
suspended. This may cost the ST. Lou 1
club the pennant. as they are only -four
games beh I'd the lead now. and win

have much success.

rrIIE latest and one Of the most unique ground gaining
plays ever seen IN baseball was accidentally dlscov-
1 cred by the Hlghlanders the early part of the week
in a game with Boston. and It Is liable to cut quite a figure
In games Of the future. The only trouble with the play Is
its limitations, as It can be worked only when fast men are
on the bases and a weak hitter at the bat,
There are runners on second and third with two out
There is a pitcher at the bat. As there Is little chance OF a
hit It Is up to the base runners TO take the most desperate
chance In forcing a run over the plate, The new play Is
worked In the following manners
The runner on second takes n big load, In fact. he runs

The Laws Delay.

President Taft, who has been an
earnest opponent of the laws delay,
may easily find another striking ex-
ample TO prove his case in the history
of the prosecution of the officials of the
meat trust in Chicago. -.
The suit was filed by the government
in May, 1902 The case dragged along
through all the tedious processes of
answers and counter-answers, demur-
rers, and other legal technicalities, until
finally, last July, the accused entered a
plea of not guilty, and the case was set
for trial next Monday Then the acute
lawyers discovered another road that
led off into nowhere They raised the
point that the Sherman antitrust law
is unconstitutional, and they demanded
that the accused be granted a writ of
habeas corpus, which would take the
case into the United States Supreme
Court Even when the trial proceeds
there still has been delay of nine
years since the first steps were taken.
When it is remembered that the
Sherman act has been before the high
est court in the land and its constitu-
tionality certainly accepted, if not di-
rectly affirmed, the proceeding in Chi
cago is manifestly merely an effort to
gain further delay 1t is this state of
affairs which causes discomfort and pro-
test, and justifes President Taft in all
that he has said in favor of a reform.
1t required seven or eight years for the
Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases to
reach final adjudication, and it will be
many years ere the last decision is
handed down in the case against the
steel trust 1t is no wonder that the
business men of New York have TN
dertaken to settle their own disputes
outside of the court room.
The remedy may be in more Judges or
it may be in an exhibition of greater
industry on the part of those who are
already on the bench. 1t may be, also,
that some method will be devised
whereby technical pleas which are OBJ
viously for delay can be disregarded
and trials thereby fastened The con-
dition undoubtedly warrants the atten-
tion which the President is giving to
the subject, and he will receive the
approval of the country if he can ac-
complish reform.

Open Up Alaska.

Now that the people of Alaska are
to have a State convention to outline
their needs, Congress should not lack
the necessary information to form a
definite programme of development. We
are inclined to believe that this is one
of the imperative duties of the next
session. AIaska's chief need Just now
is intelligent action.
Secretary Fisher utters the same idea
that has been expressed by every public
man who has studied the situation in
Alaska, namely, that what is needed
there above all else is opportunity. The
doors to her vast resources must be TN
locked. Capital is ready and only await
ing the official word to go ahead. The
administration plan is sound and safe.
1t includes an experimental scheme of
government ownership and operation for
the production of coal for public uses
very necessary undertaking, in view
Of the needs of the Revenue Cutter Serv-
ice and the necessity for giving
prompt aid to the inhabitants in case of
extraordinarily severe weather-and I
general development plan of encourag-
ing private enterprise under government
supervision.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-19

lessness comes over the community. Il
is because it is essential to the safety OF
society that crimes like this shall not
go unpunished that The Washington
Herald has offered to assist the authori-
ties by the payment of reward for
information which will lead to the ar
rest and conviction of the murderer.
1t seems almost incredible that human
life can be taken under circumstances
such as make this an inexplicable crime
and the guilty person escape unpunished.
Washington is fortunate in the fact
that this is only the third murder mys-
terry in this city for many years. Two
other cases still remain unsolved. In
New York, however. each year records
many cases of mysterious deaths which
the police authorities, with all their
skill, cannot fathom. Under a perfect
system of government this could not
occur. The methods for the detection
and punishment of crime should be
so complete and thorough as to make
it impossible for criminal to escape.
When a tragedy is committed and the
slayer eludes capture, it means that the
deductions, the observations, and the
subtle analyses by which murder mys-
teries are made plain exist only in the
imagination of the writers of clever
books.
