flannel, it is not superfuous, for
many resorts the morning and evening

to the undertakings needed for the

taking the place of several white ones.

able, and this would do away with
the need for special wraps.

SLIDE TO FIRST is BARRED
Association Umpircs Do Not Hesitate
to Call Out Runners Going to
Initial Sack Feet First.

American association umpires have
fallen into the habit in the past few
years of calling out the runner who
slides to first base. According to an
editorial in the Sporting News, an A.
A. umpire recently called out an ath-
Iete who had slid into first, and as the
tired runner was going back to the
bench the umpire said: You're out in
this league if you slide to first" Which
caused the writer of this editorial to
wax indignant, especially as he says
the umpires in the big leagues seem
to have the same understanding in re-
gard to the slide to first.
Brick" Owens was one of the up
holders of the no-sliding-to-first law in
the American association, ard he
probably still adheres to his iSeas
along that line. Indeed, the thing
seems to have become one Of the I'M
written laws of baseball. Two years
ago a runner slid to first and appar-
emily was quite safe. Owens called
him out When asked about the play
after the game, Owens said:
''I'll always call player out when
he slides to first. Why does he slide?
He can make better time standing up.
But I'll tell you why he slides. He
wants to make play look close that
otherwise would be easy. He's trying
to show up the umpire. 1t don't go
with me-"
And Owens always called out the
runner who slid to first, no matter
how the play looked. A slide meant
death for the runner. Here is a part
of the editorial of the Sporting News:
ct is noted that players do not slide
to first base any more-and many
times they might beat close play if
they did. But a slide to first is just
as interesting and thrilling as slide
to second, and thrills are what make
the game popular. There can be no
reason for a ban on the slide on the
theory that it is dangerous. 1t is not
as dangerous as a slide in a steal,
for the baseman does not have to
block or touch the runner; he merely
has to hold the ball before the run
ner gets there.
1.-THE umpire who sets himself UP as
one who will not permit the advan-
tage gained in slide to first is not
only overstepping his authority, but
he is Sinking his work, for we take it
that the ban on the slide grows out of
pure laziness on the part of the ar
bitter, who doesn't like to meet up
with close plays that compel him to
use his carefully conserved energy"

SMALLER HATPlNs COMING IN
Are Now Seen in Moderate Size and
Modified Form, of Gold, Silver
and Coral.

From the extremely large hatpins
Of the past season there has been a
gradual return to those of more con-
venient shapes and sizes. Both the
long, narrow pins and the broad, fat
pins have been entirely deposed by
the pins of moderate size and modified
form.
Hatpins with heads quite round,
disk shaped. or of small ellipses and
pear shapes are in highest favor, and
many beautiful new designs and com
binations of materials are to be seen
in the fashionable jewelry shops.
Here is one of heavy gold, in that
rich old-gold color, set with fiery
green tourmalines that dance and
sparkle in the light. Another is set
with a stud of pink coral that is al
most covered by the inclosing gold,

Whether it pays to go into the mar
ket and bid for young players of prom
Use, even if the price seems high, is
answered in the case of Gandil, whose
addition to the Nationals virtually
made the team, says Joe Jackson in
the Washington Post. He continues:
1t is generally understood that Gan
dill cost $4,000, including the assessed
valuation Of four players and a cash
balance, the deal being similar in this
sense to the one by which Russell
went from Baltimore to the Athletics.
RusselPs purchase was a dead loss,
but that was entirely the fault of the
player, who put himself out of the
game. So far Gandil has been a sue
cess. He has proved that he is a star
fielder, and while possibly he may not
hit quite as well after he has been in
time, he shapes up like a man who

thought that Wilfred Osborn, the for
mer Phillie, would land the substitute
outfeld vacancy.
However, linn not only landed the
job as substitute outfelder, but in
three days clinched a regular position.
The poor showing Of the team has
thrown a shadow over the good work
he has been doing. With Kilties UP
in the race the praise of this youth
would be sung all over the city. linn
gives promise of developing into a
great batter. He hits the ball hard
and what is more, does his hitting in
the pinches. Many times this season
he has made good with runners on
the trails. linn is no Ty Cobb on his
feet, but he covers a big area Of
ground in the outfeld and is fairly
fast on the bases. He has made more
hits than any other member Of the
Kilties this season and it looks as if
he is in the big leagues to stay.

should at worst bat around .280. And
that kind of bingler is not found every
day.
If Gandil cost $4,000, he was not
expensive, as far as can be judged
from results to date. None of the
players who were let out would be
useful right now, as Cunningham was
doing bench duty exclusively, and
Griffith was not using either Akers or
Becker to any extent. The difference

tween what the club would have

Cubans Make Big Fuss Over Good

Actions of Clever Cincinnati OutfeId-

thusiastic Admirers-Sto-

Hank O'Day is strong for his Cuban
member of the Reds, and has been
pulling for the foreigner to make
good. Marsans is one of the most am
bilious ball players in the game, ac-
cording to the Reds manager, and
will be given every opportunity to
make good. The Cuban IS great IA
vorite with the Cincinnati fans, de-
spite his nationality, for he is a good
ball player, and the real dyed-in-the-
wool fan likes to watch good ball
players perform, be they white or
black
Marsans, however, is not black
man, as a great many fans are led
to believe, but is as white in color
as most of the ball players. He is
sun-tanned and naturally somewhat
brown from that cause.
In the absence of Johnny Bates
Marsans is holding down center field
and playing q star game. 1t was
his sterling catch of Knabe's hot liner
that saved a few runs in the second
game Of the present series with the
Reds. Marsans is batting over 800.
