A JOINT RESOLUTION.


Proposing an amendment to the Con-

Be 1t resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
General Assembly met, That the fol-
lowing is proposed as an amendment
to the Constitution OF Pennsylvania,
in accordance with the provisions of
the eighteenth article thereof
Article TX.
Section Is. No obligations which
have been heretofore issued, or
which may hereafter be issued, by
any county or municipality, other
than Philadelphia, to provide for the
construction or acquisition of water
works, subways, underground rail-
ways or street railways, or the ap-
purtenances thereof, shall be con-
sidered as a debt of a municipality
within the meaning of section eight
of article nine of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania or of this amendment,
If the net revenue derived from said
property for a period of five years,
either before or after the acquisition
thereof, or, where the same is con-
structed by the county or munich
pality, after the completion thereof,
shall have been sufficient to pay in
terest and sinking-fund charges dur
ing said period upon said obliga-
tions, or if the said obligations shall
be secured by liens upon the respec-
tive properties, and shall impose no
municipal liability. Where munich
palities of counties shall issue obli-
cations to provide for the construc-
ton of property, as herein provided,
said municipalities or counties may
also issue obligations to provide for
the interest and sinking-fund charges
accruing thereon until said proper
ties shall have been completed and
in operation for a period of one
year; and said municipalities and
counties shall not be required to levy
a tax to pay said interest and sink
ing-fund charges, as required by sec
ton ten of article nine of the Con-
stitution of Pennsylvania, until after
said properties shall have been oper-
ated by said counties or municipali-
ties during said period of one year.
Any of the said municipalities or
counties may incur Indebtedness in
excess of seven per centum, and not
exceeding ten per centum, of the as
sessed valuation of the taxable prop
erty therein, if said increase of in
debtedness shall have been assented
to by three-fifths of the electors vot-
ing at public election, in such man
ner as shall be provided by law.

HARTSEL HAS RUN IN WITH
FRESH UMPIRE.

Umpire Cook, who worked In
the Virginia league last summer,
tells this one on young fellow
who got a tryout as an umpire
In that circuit last spring, being
paired with Cook In exhibition
games that he might be tested.
The Philadelphia Athletics
were playing Roanoke, and the
recruit umpire was behind the
plate. The veteran Topsy Hart
sci was at bat. and the new um-
pire called some wide ones
strikes on Topsy.
'My lord, man, what are you
trying to doY' complained Topsy.
Trying to make good, same
as you are" was the answer.
"Well, II that's a sample of
your stuff you'll never make it"
came back from Hartsel.
"Guess 1 stand as much chance
of making good as an umpire as
you do a player" said the um-
pire, who didn't seem to know
who Hartsel might be.
why, my boy" said Hartsel,
astonlshed, I've been playing
ball quite a few years"
"Glad you told me-" tossed of
the umpire recruit I'D never
thought that was the case from
what I've seen OF you"

WANT WEIGHT THIS FALL.
Premium Will Be Placed on Avoirdu-
pois In Football Again.

Young men who have weight as well
as speed will be welcome at the col
leges in the fall. Under the new foot
ball rules there will be something of
premium on avoirdupois, and the coach
ss of the defense are casting about for
the 200 Founders, for 1t is generally
agreed that the tackles will have hard
er work to do than last year.
The leading coaches took very little
rest after the close of last season. and
they have been busy working out the
plans for the coming season ever since
the playing code was changed. 1t
seems odd to talk of football at this
time of year, and conference Of
coaches with the perspiration stream
Ing down their faces would be funny
If it were not SO serious.

To STEAL BASES

New Form Of Baseball Game
Evolved For Swimmers,
HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED.

tors-lessue Formed.
Water baseball is the latest addition
to outdoor aquatic sports, and there Is
every indication that It will become
popular. The American Life Saving
society Of New York has organized a
league, and eight teams are enrolled In
membership, each representing one Of
the society's nearby stations A few
preliminary games are being played to
familiarize the men with the rules, but
regular schedule will soon be arrang-
ed. and the various teams will then
compete for the championship pennant
E. c. Brennan. who Is mainly respon-
sible for introducing the new game in
its present form, expresses confidence
that 1t will find ready favor with both
swimmer and public, for the few exhi-
bitions given have proved most enjoy.
able to the players and been enthusi-
astically applauded by the spectators.
Water baseball Is a fairly faithful
copy Of the national game The home
plate Is marked by large float, upon
which stand batter and catcher; the
pitchers box and bases are cork buoys
anchored in the usual formation, and
the foul lines are drawn with long
ropes.
Instead Of the regular ball, small
cork sphere Is used, and the bats are
short sticks, with which It requires
some skill to hit even the comparative
ly slow balls pitched from the water
The diamond is, Of course, small
For the rest, play is very similar in
both games In the aquatic variety the
teams number the same list of men,
and the felders are disposed In almost
identical positions, though close in, as
the light ball seldom goes very far.
Upon a hit being made the batter
takes running dive and sprints to-
ward first base. which be has to touch
before proceeding any farther. If he
reaches It safely he will thereafter wait
for the next hit or try to steal second,
Just as In the land game. Points are
also scored in the same manner as in
ordinary baseball. only any part of the
starting float may be made In reach
ing home.
A clever and amusing trick has al
ready been seen in stealing bases, some
Of the players diving and swimming
thus under the water from base to
base. The fielder In then forced to
follow them In their submarine jour
ney to intercept them. This method
will probably be ruled out, however,
as the umpire has so far proved un-
willing to jump in and ascertain what
took place beneath the surface, there
by being unable to pass a correct de-
cision. II Is a pity, for the play added
greatly to the interest
Many club swimmers have signifed
their intention of taking up the new
sport, and when actual experience has
enabled them to draft a more definite
code than the rather crude one now
obtaining 1t would not be surprising TO
see another amateur league formed
Speed In swimming and good water
manship, while most desirable. are not
absolutely necessary to play water
baseball, and this fact Is likely to bring
1t many recruits, particularly as it ia
as much of pastims as 1t Is q contest
