ADVICE From AoosIck FAILS
Democrat Tells How a Baseball Team
Should Be Run

Already the rowdy tactics have be-
gun in the Tri-city baseball league
formed by Bennington. North Adams
and Pittsfield. At the game at Ben
nington Sunday afternoon, according
to the Bennington Banner, there
was a long wrangle in the ninth and
il looked as though the North Adams
team would quit the field. J. Mac
Robbie. the first batter, singled and
was sacrificed to second. BToome hit
to deep right field and MacRobbie
went home. He had no sooner struck
the last stretch than the Bennington
players ran into the diamond, shout
ing that the runner had failed TO
touch third base and Umpire Hogan
called MacRobbie out The players
of both teams punched about the
Jump and argued and gesticulated
like a suffragette caucus, but Hogan
refused to change the decision. 1t
was generally admitted that Mac
Robbie failed to touch the base but
the North Adams players insisted
that the official was looking in an
opposite direction and therefore could
not rule on the play The spectators
had begun to leave the ground when
the game was finally resumed Ru'
dolph popped a fly to Finnegan ana
the game was over"
Trouble has usually begun from
the spectators seats during baseball
games in this section, and 1t has
many times been alleged that Hoos-
ick Falls fans were the most persis-
tent offenders. Manager Higgins OF
Remington has repeatedly reiterated
his plea for clean baseball, especially
when directing his criticism against
baseball as played here.
Now it appears that his players in
dulge in umpire intimidating tactics
by rushing at that official en-masse,
thereby causing a squabble which so
Disguised the spectators, some OF
whom were from this village, they
started to leave the field before play
was resumed.
Whatever the provocatlon, II seems
reasonable to expect that a manager
will so control his players as to
prevent ill-timed movements of the
kind mentioned A team has a man
ager and captain and it seems as
If a protest from them would have
been sufficient A baseball manager
to be successful and eliminate the un.
pleasant features of baseball, must
begin first with his players and insist
that they retain their places, leaving
the directing to those in authority
This applies to all managers and
the players can be controlled by hav'
ing an understanding, backed up by
system of fines in case of failure to
comply with the rules. When the
players are permitted to indulge in
"suffragette caucuses' about an UNI
pire, no manager has just complaint
coming when the spectators take the
cue from the example and indulge in
rowdy tactics, firmly expecting the
approval of the management. The
matter rests primarily with the mana
ger, who can always exercise author
ity over players, and who can have
the assistance of the police when
trouble is experienced with specta-
tors.-Hoosick Falls Democrat.

suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds OF

Yester- day morning man came to the house to look at the room and while it was being shown him by Miss May, she states that he insulted her and she took up poker and ran him from the house.

While she was preparing to retire last night about S:45 o'clock, Miss Gussfe May, 2323 Seventh avenue, north, was seized from behind, bound and gagged, in which condition she lay for about an hour. She was found by her mother, who came in the house about 9:30 o'clock, the girl then being unconscious.
 Miss May states that she was standing in front of the grate in her room when suddenly some one seized her by the arms while some one else threw a towel over her face. A voice then told her Keep quiet now and don't scream, and we won't huN you. All we want is money and gold. We are in trouble and are fixing to leave town and must have il"

Her mother states that her daughter was unconscious for about 40 minutes after she came into the house and found her. It appears the young lady was dn- conscious for about an hour and half in all.
 Miss May says that while she did not see the men she thinks they are white men. The voice she heard, she says, sounded like that of a white man and the language was that of an uneducated man.
 Mrs. w. A. May, her mother, says that although the house was ransacked as yet they have missed nothing. In the room of Mir and Mrs. W. c. Henry, who lives in the house, a jewel case was found with only chamos skin in it. Whether or not

The mis- sionaries who know the people better than anyone else, say there is no reason for alarm Diplomats and military dfi- cers, however, argue that the recent out break came without a moments nouce and believe that possibly the Chinese ar tillery may be turned upon the foreign concessions without alarm.
 The legations at Picking and the conces- sions at Ten Tsin are more strongly guarded and better prepared than in lgo, the year of the Boxer rising, but the Chinese army now possesses modern ar tillery which it lacked on the previous occasion.

"Yes, young fellers," the sheriff con.
tinued. "you stand accused of gettin'
some mighty valuable documents
from the German gentleman. He'll
be down by the next train to identify
you, and, in the meanwhile, I'd lest

letters you two may be carryin'. OF

you're wrong. That's to be shown at

ties. Anyway, I'll see If you are totin'

The sheriff thrust an inquistive hand
into the front Of Brockett's shirt, and
at the same identical moment that
section of the car seemed filled with
life, animation and agitated doings.
Brockett. as the sheriff bent forward,
drove his knee savagely upward, and
the sheriff, with yowl of anguish and
surprise, fell back, doubling up and
going to the floor His falling body
completely blocked the aisle so far as
his deputies were concerned, and
there was really no reason why Solano
should reach across the intervening
space to smite one of the worthy Ar
kansans upon the nose. He did. how
ever, and the deputy, falling upon his
chief, made the progress of the con-
stabulary doubly difficult Before they
could get the tangle cleared, both boys
were out of the car, and were dash
ing VI a little runway which slopes
DOWN ard to the Little Rock station
They were two good city blocks away
and not losing any ground when the
frantic sheriff and his men tumbled
from the car, and few minutes later
they vanished into a jungly network
of vines and shrubbery beside the
river.
The sheriff sighted the disappear
ing figures and trained a long blue re-
volver on the fast-recedlng Brockett.
He might not have hit his target at
that distance and he might only have
fired in the air to brighten the quarry
Int surrender. However this might
be, he never delivered the bullet. A
small. stocky boy, intensely Irish OF
general feature, stumbled against the
gallant sheriff at this juncture, and
for the second time in two minutes
the valorous official sought the sod.
Rising, he aimed a well-meant kick at
the youngster. who was perhaps ten
feet away as the boot wnizzed and
then. realizing that the mishap was
purely accidental, paid no further at
