Black Bill Clark at the bat. Clark

chance for the runner from second to

play regardless Of him. came for
ward few steps. The old POLO
grounds sloped back Of first base, and
the field was short and downhill. SO
that balls came down there fast after
they passed the base line, and even II
they got past they hit the bleachers
and did not do much damage, so
PLAYER could afford to take chances.
Clark hit hard and straight at me
ne was a dead right field hitter any
how. I saw 1 could reach the ball on
the first bounce and decided like
fash to make a desperate effort 10
throw the runner out at first. TOOK
the ball on the first bounce and with,
ont looking at all l cut loose at 1ull
sneed for first. Clark was coming
down the line at about the speed OF

heating him by twenty feet. Then, 10

That fellow who wrote about the

q lot stronger If he ever had played
baseball. am certain that the worst

even john Anderson's famous SLIDE
to second with the bases filled could
be explained If John wouldn't get 80
sensitive whenever the subject Is
mentioned.
I'll never forget my worst mistake,
and it was on par with that OF DOC.
Rice. Arson told Doc to watch for a
chance to get rid of a ball that was
in play, because the cover was get
ting wet and slippery, and he told
Doc to pretend to let it slip and get
q new ball into the game. Doc waited
until the bases were filled, and see
in that the ball was getting greasy
let it slip over the grand stand.
Mine was funny-oniy didn't dare

BOSTON. Mass, July 2S--Labor
claims sweeping victory in the an
nouncement by the state board Of ar
bitration that the Boston elevated rail-
way company yioiated the state law
prohibiting the discharge of men for
joining or belonging to labor union.
Il was stated BY District Attorney Pei
letter, after the report Of the board
was made public today that the grand
jury will Immediately take up the
matter and that the officials responsi-
BILE will be punished.
Pelletier will call before the grand
jury the officials OF the road. includ-
ing General William A. Bancroft,
president; James l.. Richards and
James NJ. Prendergast directors, and
the division superintendent and de-
mand that they explain their state
ments that there has been no discrim-
ination against union men. At the
same time another attempt viii be
made TO settle the strike by compro-
mise.
In It's report the board declares
that men were discharged because o
union affiliations: that the strike
breakers now employed fail 70 reoor'
fares collected; that the public in
terest is menaced by the existing con
troversy and that the contention o
the company that its cars are belnl
operated in as good a manner as be
fore the strike is without founda
ton"
'The board recommends TO tn
parties that they endeavor to accom-
plish an amicable settlement whicI
shall be alike just TO the company ant
its employees and to the public whic
it is its duty to serve" says the re
port in conclusion.
