ATTACK Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood
pure the white corpuscles attack
disease germs like tigers. But
often germs multiply so fast the
litters are overcome. Then see
pimples, boils, eczema, saltrheum

A Word About Einney.

Davenport Times. 'Finney has
never been satisfied in left field He
claims that he has always played the
right garden and would make bet
ter showing over in that territory
OLeary has accordingly decided to
give him a chance to prove his worth
in that field. The boss intimated
when he hoped on the train for
Springfield that Fleet-Footed Fred
would have to show him something
on this trip or else there would be
another change out in the gardens
on his return. OLeary stated that
if Lund continued to show the same
symptoms of making good that he
displayed yesterday, it would be easy
to place the Monticello boy in right
after Ohland had returned to his old
job in center The feet-footed one
can accordingly be expected to work
at his best on this trip south. "

Springfield Loses Ball Club.

DECATUR, H., May rs. Richard F.
kinsella, owner of the Springfield
"Three-Eye'' league franchise and a
ball club, completed deal with the
owners of the Decatur ball park
whereby he will transfer his entire
club. to Decatur on Friday next, open
ing with the Waterloo club. Lack of
patronage last season and this are the
reasons for Kinsella's move The
change will have the approval of the
league president.
Decatur has been without baseball
since 1900, its franchise having been
sold to Danville after that season. Kin
sella will have full charge of the
team, although Decatur men will be
interested indirectly in the franchise
rights.

[Hy crItIc.l

A baseball team presents many
possibilities in it's makeup and the
successful mnager is the one who
readily sees the best shifts and is
able to bring about the strongest
combination from the material at
hand or by Strengthening up wherein
he is weak.
Keokuk's pitching staff story has
become old in almost a week but it IS
necessary to allude to it again in or
der to present new combination
that looks feasible at the present
time.
It would seem that Central Asso-
citation managers make the mistake
of carrying too many pitchers Of
mediocre ability rather than a de-
creased number of Fingers who are
really capable ball players. 1t cannot
be said that this is true Of them all
but with the majority the shoe fits.
The writer would favor (to Keo-
kuk's case only do l now refer re-
tanning as members of the Indian
pitching staff only three pitchers, bat
they would have to be men of cham
pionship class who would draw as
much salary combined as four or
even FIVE are now being paid. In con-
/ junction it would be necessary to
carry an outfielder like Murray or a
player of his versatility as utility
man. Murray would not necessarily
| have to be given his turn in the box
every fourth day, but would be held
in reserve for emergencies, or in the
event that one of the regular box
men was slowing up and needed q
weeks rest.
The view is an extreme one-this
is admitted. But what would three
| pitchers of Fanning's class do for 8
team in the Central Association
especially with hitting ball club like
Belt has back of them.
i To carry out the idea would near
that the men would have to be paiG
at least $3.50 month, for the CLASSY
men do not come for anything cheap
er. To counterbalance the increase Ii
individual salaries would be thu
move of carrying smaller squad.
1t is being demonstrated almos
daily that the fewer the pitchers tn,
better, and the box men find them
selves much more successful If the,
work every third or fourth day, o

a repetition of the latest story. The

enough runs to have won all ordinary

Tanning has been doing great deal

Reports.

Manager Frank Belt sees a new
combination that may work Shortstop
McCafferty out of job which it was
thought he had nailed down for the
year. The shift is to be made today
unless the boss changes his mind be-
fore time for the game to start.
According to today's dope Connie
Bresnahan is to be moved to short and
Hilly is to go to third. If the change
looks good it may be made permanent.
McCafferty's work on the road has
been loose, according to reports which
have reached here Yesterday he had
no less than five errors although the
official scorer at Burlington gave the
Pathfinders hits on all but two of the
Founders. His work on the previous
day was also of the shortcoming va
riety.
Can Connie Bresnahan make good
at short? If he can he will have to
show better form in the infield than
he has been during the past three
weeks. Connie has several faults that
he will have to overcome. One Is
standing dead still on his feet instead
of running in on the hoppers as they
come to him and the other is fielding
| the ball right at his feet instead Of
out from him little.

HALL EXPLAINS
SACRIFICE HIT
Chief Scorer OF Central Association
Gives Right Dope on Play
That Has Been Somewhat
Misunderstood.
:.
SHOWS SCORERS HOW
He Gives Same Dope That Has Been
Followed Out by the TWO
keokuk Scorers in the
Past-He Explains.

III regard 10 the ruling on DunteQ
ball by batter attempting to sacri-
fee and play being made at some
other base than first, which has been
quite generally discussed in the press
about the circuit and various opinions
offered, John Hall, who handles the
records of the Three-I league, the Cen
trail association and the limo. league
has the following to say:
If the conditions surrounding an
attempted sacrifice play are such that
the batter can be retired at first if the
play be made there, it would be an in
justice to charge the pitcher with hit
as has been suggested by some sport
writer's, which suggestion has been
taken for granted as new ruling by
some who have read it, but If a play
is made to some other base and fails
to retire runner there it would like
wise be unfair to score the play sim
ply as a f1elder's choice as that would
rob the batter of credit for sacrifice
he had attempted with the additional
benefit to his team that he also is
safe at first. This play should be
scored as a sacrifice for the batter
and the baserunner should be scored
to the next succeeding base On a
fielder's choice-that is providing, OF
course that the fielder who handles
the play first could have retired the
batter at first base. If there is any
doubt that he could have thrown out
the batter at first base then the bat
| ter is entitled to a hit by all means.
Sacrifice is the Answer.
"The suggested ruling as under
j stand the purpose of it is to fit case
| that is peculiar and infrequent though
occasionally met with and that is as
/ follows:
1 THE batter hunts in trying to ad
/ vance a baserunner or baserunners
and the ball is SO placed that the
4 fielder would be unable to cut the
batter off at first, but, being nearer
j to some other base to which {
runner is coming, he makes the pla,
! there but fails to get his man. His
/ play is naturally scored fielder''
choice as he cannot be given an erro
for attempting a play that would b.
the best under the circumstances i
successfully executed, but on the othe
hand the batter is entitled to credi
so that a fielder's choice is not sui
4 ficient to cover the plav as 1t woult
charge the batsman with time at ba
z when he is entitled to either hit o
4 a sacrifice hit according to whethe
i or not 1t would be possible to have re
/ tired the batter at first. Therefore Il
4 a play of this kind score hit if vol
think the batter could not have beel
caught at first and sacrifice hit an,
4 a fielder's choice If he could hav
been retired had not the play bee
made some place else unsuccessfully
Naturally 1t will be understood that
the play to some other base is sue
cessfullv made 1t would deprive TIL
halter Of either a hit Or sacrific
hit
