SAYS
SLIDING INTO
FIRST IS BAD

CHATTANOOGA. TENN, Aug.
13-Is sliding into first base
on close ones a good play?
Most fans, and especially minor
league ones, say yes. They argue
that it gives the runner the adj
vantage of at least a second and
also shows the slider to be pos
sessed of the proper pep and fight
ing spirit. Two men, each repre-
sentative in his capacity in the
Southern league, however, con-
denim the play as a poor one. These
two men are Otto Jordan, admit
tedly one of the best all-round
players who ever donned a South
ern league uniform, and Frank
Rudderham, since Carpenters de-
parture, the dean of the umpiring
staff.
"A base runner does not gain
time in sliding into first" says Jor-
dan; he loses by it. In running
the body is carried we'll forward
and the leg advanced as much as
possible to take the bag. When
the runner slides, however, he must
slow up and bring both feet to-
gether before he can throw him
self forward for the slide In doing
this he loses whole step. No man
can slide directly from his stride.
He must stop and bring his feet
together.
The belief that sliding helps a
base runner arises from the fact
that it is universally employed as
an aid in sliding into the other
bags. 1t is an undisputed fact that
a slide into second or third is alb
solutely indispensable But bear this
fact in mind, the runner hits the
dirt not to help him beat the ball
to the bag, but to evade the tag. A
man can steal second or third when
the ball beats him full second, but
at first he must actually beat the
ball"

u CHATTANOOGA. TENN, Aug
13,-Local fans are blaming
the umpires of Pater Kava-
naughs staff to a large extent with
the listlessness and apathy which
have been exhibited by both the
home and visiting clubs upon many
occasions at Andrews field.
The mistakes of the arbiters in
decisions which have been many
and numerous are not the greatest
evils OF which they have been gull
ty in practically destroying the
piquancy and snap of the contests
The lsNness of the umpires in slim
ulatng and accelerating the ac-
ton Of the PLAYERS and consequent
~ the speed of the games has been
far more eXasperating to local Dr.
irons
During the last series with the
PeliCans this laxness was extreme
ly apparent, and both teams loafed
to and from their positions In
manner which gave the trays the
appearance of mere exhibition con-
tests. one noticeable and unnec-
essary delay came when the receiv-
ers We're either at bat or on base
when the last out occurred. Under
these conditions an actual DELAY of
four minutes occurred during the
time that the receiver was donning
his shin guards and other parts of
his panoply. OF course, some delay
in such a case is necessary, but the
slowness employed by the Pelican
receivers. Angermeier and Haigh.
especially was most exasperatins to
the stands.
Another privilege allowed by the
umpires and one that lends the
trays the appearance of mere per
functory affairs was the soiourn Of
home players upon the visiting
bench and vice versa OF course.
the stands do not think that the
players are mortal enemies but the
sight of them mingline on the field
OF battle and laughing and Joking
during the progress of the frays
lends the battles an air of levity
and Indifference which greatly sub
dues their ptQuanCy aud sharpness.
lt the umpires would force the
players to trot to and from their
positions, remain upon their own
benches and assume any vav Sc

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Aug. 10.
Y Today's game is the Crack
ers' last in New Orleans this
year. Tomorrow and Thursday the
Crackers take a good, long drawn
loaf. They will probably decide to
spend their time in New Orleans,
for there is more excitement here
and no more heat than in Mobile,
They will probably move over to
Mobile on Friday, when they open
a three-game series.
Yesterdays game, the third in a
row the Crackers have lost to New
Orleans on this trip, was a fright.
Errors were numerous, but Bill
Wagner pitched better ball and de-
served the decision.
doc" Johnston spiked Agler in
the fourth inning and time was
taken out while Joe's wounds we're
dressed. The Cracker was onlv
slightly hurt and returned to his
duties after a few minutes. Three
umpires, President Kavanaugh and
a few spectators were present.

Sunday, let Stockdale and Hart la

1t was wild hitting game. Every
