another way.
IF you have good base runners" said
he As he looked up at photograph of the
Browns who made fame for themselves
when he was the head of the team, you
don't win games by runs but by the dis
lance that you get away from the other
fellow" That was another way of call
ing attention to the value of the Splinter
over the man with the heavy feet Il
was q testimonial to the men whom he
had with him on the st. Louis club,
who could steal bases under the noses Of
the sharpest eyed pitchers in the protes
sion because they were clever enough to
outwit the pitchers.
From base to base there is distance
Of ninety feet on straight line. We
know that q player can bunt the ball
and touch first base in three and one
fifth seconds. His rate of travel per
second Is twenu-eight and Ope-eighth
feet.
From home plate to first, the % see-
ond, to third and back to home plate in

Hans Lobert, of PhIladelphia, has eircled
the bases in Is IS seconds He travelled
at the rate of twenty-six and two-twenty-
hfths feet per second If he nan in straight
line. The chances are that he varied from
a straight line b. about Eve feet in every
ninety, 50 that his record was even better
than Is shown BY the figures
In any event II Is safe to imagine that
the feetsr runners when they are trying
to steal bases or to make extra bases in
a bah game travel between twenty-five
and tweny-eight feet per second. Twenty
eight Is possibly the maximum. OF course
the slower runners cannot begin to 80 at
that speed.
The Runners Chance.

N baseball grounds in the National
League sat Ned" HanIon and
John Montgomery Ward one af-
tsrnoon. 1t doesn't matter much which
stand. or which ground Il happened to be,
for those old baseball generals were out
on Httle baseball lark.
They had slipped quietly through the
turnstile and had run away from all Of
their friends. They chose the most in
conspicuous seats that they could find,
and there they sat and revealed in the
game of which they were such wonderful
exponents and for which they retain such
fond recoIlections.
Il was there that their peace was dis
tuFSed, quite BY accident. just as a player
on one Of the contesting teams made an
attsmpt to steal second base.

make It. But what Of itT'
Nothing much" continued Ward, Eek
eept that the lost art in baseball is base
running. We used to have some pretty
bad base runners when you and were
playing ball, but one reason for it was
the bulky men who were selected as pro-
fessionsI ball players, in contrast to the
medium sized, why athletes, who are Eve
times more plentiful now than they were
then. As bad as they were then, they
were not half SO bad as the base runners
now, because you would think that in the
ordinary process Of baseball evolution
there would be some improvement IN one
Of the most artistic angles of the game.
/ might add to that the statement that the
average player is faster runner to-day
than he was thirty years ago"
DO you think he was? asked Hanlon.
i've always had an idea that we had
some rafting good runners when you and
were in the game"
Il know well enough that you were a
6ne runner" said Ward, '-and am ego
tis6eaI enough to believe that ! could
keep out of the way Of most Of the
ball players who tried to tag me, but II
seems to me that the present crop Of
players is made up Of men who have

Thursday night of last week at TO- 80
o'clock, the light from fire west of
town caused considerable alarm. At
first it was thought that Webster's build
ings were burning. The fire alarm was
sounded and many who had retired for
the night hastily got up, dressed, and
started for the blaze. After many per-
sons had tired themselves running and
had exceeded the speed limit rushing to
the scene in bugges and automobiles to
help save property, they found William
Willhide, (son of Taylor Willhide), burn
ing brush. A plenty was said that would
not look we'll in print. Granting that per-
sons have right to burn brush any time
they feel So disposed, yet to start fire
at so late an hour seems very unwise.

Woman Robbed BY Force.

Mrs. Julianes Ceta, who conducts a
boarding house at Security, near Hag-
erstown, was knocked down and robbed
of 5000 early Sunday morning by an I'M
identified white man, who called at her
house for assistance.
Mrs. Ceta refused to give him any
money and when he made threats she
ran, with lamp in her hand, to neigh
boris and pounded on the door.
The robber knocked her unconscious,
took from her dress the money, which
represented the savings of several years.
Her eyes and face are badly swollen
and discolored from the mans blows, and
she is i'll from the shock.
