CHICAGO July S.-There are freak
plays and freak plays in base ball Two
OF them which occurred within the short
space Of FIVE days on Conlishey park are
aoubly interesting They belong TO tho
unusual and also furnish concrete refuta-
Tons Of a popular fallacy which seems to
have no other foundation than tradition
As often as once a fortnight during the
play;ns SEASON some other player or man.
ager from the country or nearby prairies
sends in a query seeking to know IL a
team in the field is not prohibited from
using more than three or four men In the
act of running out an opponent who has
been caught between bases.
Where the idea originated cannot be
guessed. but doubtless from tradition. At
least II is from the same source as the
ideas which still pertain to the effect that
a batsman is out automatically II he
fails TO run 10 first base Immediately or
that he can be put out if an opponent
gets the ball and crosses first base line
ahead OF the runner without touching him
or the base.
There are sections OF America where
the manner OF playing the great national
obsession and the rules thereof are
handed down from generation to genera
tion by word OF mouth, just as in the
case OF folklore before the stone age. In
these sections a rule book seems to be
an unknown phenomenon. and the dctum
Of some veteran local authority on the
game is accepted against the printed
rules. even IL the latter are available
ReyertinE to the belief that base
runner Is entitled to be declared safe on
the ground of interference if more than
three or four opponents take part in q
run-out. il may be based on the fact that
a thoroughly drilled team of veterans
does not require more than three players
TO complete a play Of that sort, and that
four are plenty to guard against any Slip
When more than half the fielders and
sometimes most Of them are drawn into
a run out play IL is due to inexperience
or to some slip Of the hands or feet

This young man Sterrett is a real ball
player says Russell Ford of the High
landers. He can play first base or catch
as we'll as some OF the veterans in the
game. AS a backstop he isn't Very far
behind Ed Sweeney. He IS corking good

Ford, as a rule. doesn't say much, so
that this expression of opinion evidently
means a lot. Sterrett by the way, was

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 20, 1912.
An enormous and motely crowd gather
ed on the beautiful plain Of Veli-Enendi.
on the shores of the Marmora, to witness
the first horse races Of the Ottoman me-
tropolis. The day was magnificent. the
weather propitious. and the people at the
height Of their festive mood. The Mos
lens had never seen horse races before.
To them 1t was in every way new
spectacle, and to all 1t was real sign Of
advancing times
Among the many thousands OF specta-
tors women predominated. Hours before
the show they came from every quarter
with, baskets Of provisions, intending TO
spend the whole day in gazing at and
chatting over the events OF the day. The
groups OF Turkish "hanoums.' in their
bright. multi-colOred tcharshafs, Tered
iehs and yashmaks, were picturesque In
the highest degree.

watched the races from their carriages.
The sultan was fatigued. and did not at
tend, and his absence was a great disap-
pointment to performers and spectators
alike Many OF the diplomatic body were
present on specially constructed plat
furrs, and large numbers Of the most
elegant clements Of the European quarter
also attended.
There were six races. and the highest
prize 100 Turkish liras. was won by
Lieut. Djelal Effendi, smart officer, who
rode a beautiful Arab horse-Zip-Zip.
There was also a steeplechase in which
only two officers participated, and Rishdi-

Several deficiencies. such as not keeping
exac. time and the inexperience of the
Judges, undoubtedly will be remedied on

REDUCTION WORKS FOR

Roy K. Cook came down from Jar
bidge yesterday and left last night
for his home in Fremont, Neb. He has
spent several weeks in the northern
Nevada mining camp and says that
there has been an unusual amount of
activity during the winter months in
development work. A number of the
largest property owners have spent
the winter in camp, and some of them
are doing a lot of work ON their prop
critics.
Wingfeld is holding down all the
ground he acquired since he first en-
tered the diggings, and has kept up
payments as they fell due on both the
Success and Buster groups. He has
a large force of men opening up the
ore deposits On these properties and
the results obtained give ample as
surance of a steady production of ore
for a long period after a reduction
plant has been constructed in a con-
v~enient place nea the mine.
A lease on the Alphas group has
been taken by a company and twelve
men are at work underground. The
development on this property has
brought most encouraging results. A
nice lot of ore is being opened up and
it is some of the highest grade mater
ial that has beer developed in the
camp to date. The men who took an
option for the purchase of this ground
must make a substantial payment in
May or June.
A drift from the Success has been
extended into the Buster ground.
This working cuts the Buster at a
depth of 200 feet from the surface,
and in this drift the forces have ex-
posed a big pay shoot. A consider
able tonnage of a commercial garde of
ore has been opened up in these prop
critics and it is said George Wingfeld
is making arrangements for power
and water to be used in a coneentrat-
ing plant, which will be built during
the summer months. If this plant is
constructed it will have a capacity of
several hundred tons daily and will
put the camp on a permanent produc
ing basis.-Salt Lake Telegram.

For Craftsmanship.

Some reason that the upshot will be
the selection of Senator Crane as chair
man of the national committee. There
has been lot of talk about having
some good Republican to take charge
of the senatorial headquarters. Secre.
tary Hilles would be an ideal man. For
a time it seemed to be as good as de-
cided that Secretary Hilles would do
this. But if he did he would have to
resign as secretary. That is unde.
sirable. For, even with the Senatorial
headquarters running at full blast a
vast deal of political work must yet
be done in the office of the secretary
to the President. Many people will 90
there who should be looked after
and matters have come to such pass
now that nobody else can do it quite
as effectively and with quite as much
knowledge of the real situation, past
present and future, as Secretary Hilles
himself.
Senator Penrose wanted to place
Postmaster General Hitchcock in charge
of the senatorial headquarters but that
would not have done, for various rea-
sons. Senator Crane has little use for
Mr.. Hitchcock and that plan, even if
Mr.. Hitchcock would have assented to
it, has been dropped. Whatever is done
in the matter of getting head man,
the fact remains that Senator Crane
will be the real head. And if the work
is crowned with success it is inevitable
that there will be big demand for him
to take charge of the campaign after
the June convention at Chicago.
Whether he will accept is quite an
other matter. The national chairman
ship would bring him no additional
honors. He could have been national
chairman in 1908 if he would have but
said the word. The senator likes the
political game. He enjoys lining up
support for candidate whom he fav-
ors, but he does not like the ostenta-
ton of holding campaign office. 1t
is quite certain that he will be the
Warwick of the Presidents campaign
for another term, after the convention
has adjourned, but it is equally certain
that he would prefer for some one che
to be national chairman who would
work in conjunction with him.

est "dope' from him. Millions and
millions of words have to pass between
the President and congressman with re-
ference to nomination campaign.
There must be hundreds and hundreds
of conversations upon the same topic.
Sometimes these conversations conclude
in grave looks and worried gestures and
sometimes they are attended with
smiles of satisfaction. Many men must
come alike for conference of minute
or two, where a few sentences only
need be exchanged, and other men must
come to disappear quickly behind the
closed doors and talk up and down all
sorts of contingencies and prospects.
Crane Important.
The real interesting political visits
at the White House offices are the two
or three day made by Senator w.
Murray Crane, of Massachusetts,. 1t is
now apparent that he is virtually the
President campaign manager. Ever
since he and Senator Penrose made a
compact of Taft activity and let it be
known to the world that the Republican
senate would lend powerful hand to-
ward an organization, it has become
more and more evident that Senator
Crane was the moving spirit. Not only
does he see the President two or three
times daily, but when he goes back to
the Capitol he is within telephone call
both of the President and Secretary
Hilles. Crane is great user of the
telephone. He calls up New York, or
Boston, or Chicago with the same nom
chalance that he would call his residence
ON X Street. All this saves him a
lot of energy and enables him to trans
act much business quietly and in less
time than it would take others to do it..
Ii John Smith SHOULD ask for Main
9, which is the White House number and
want to speak with Secretary Hilles, he
would have to wait and might not be
able to speak with Mr.. Hilles at all.
Not so when Senator Crane, the Taft
campaign manager wants a word. If
John Smith wanted to speak with the
President on the telephone, his re-
quest would not be granted. It is diff
ferent with senators, however, and vast.
ly different with Senator Crane. Per-
haps some little thing should be done
for representative or some other,
whose support is essential. A ring of
the telephone and the word is right at
the White House and the President can
decide forthwith whether it can proper
ly be done.
The President has to attend to many
of these political matters between
whites. He utilities lot of moments
during day, because he is able to get
into touch so readily with men who are
watching out for him. That Is one of
the advantages of having little group
of senators cooperating actively and
taking up the consideration of many
matters and of many men, that have a
bearing upon the winning of delegates.
Occasionally Senator Crane goes to the
White House to breakfast and during
the time that the President takes his
morning meal he is getting a grasp of
what is going on politically in his be.

ON the threshold of China s northwest
ern gates.
Needed-A Flag.
Unfortunately, however, there was no
such flag in the city. What is said to
be a departmental ensign of the first
days of the republic still flies over the
roof tops. The consul at once sent or
ders into the city for the necessary ma
terials, which are now being sewn into
a flag, but the date for its raising has
not been set. That will probably be
done today after consultation between
the consul and his secretaries.
The consul was also officially notified
yesterday that the basic calendar has
also been changed. This year will be
known in Chinese official circles in
Honolulu as Shin Hal from yesterday
on. Where previously documents, let
tiers and records of all sorts bore
the date of the year of the EN-.
peror's reign, they will now be
stamped in the First Year of the Re-
public Of China
The official costume has been changed,
also. The flowery robes of the repre-
sentatives of China will no longer be
seen on gala events, but all Of whatever
rank will appear CARRIED in American
clothes. The order stated that all for
eign representatives of the new repub-
lie must appear so dressed, and The Adj
vertiser yesterday took the first photo
graph Of Consul Chen costumed as he
must hereafter be, in clothes alien to
him Just one week ago.
