Who ONST|TUTE
IMMEDIATE KIN?
East Newark School Board
Wants to Know in View
of Funerals.

What constitutes an immediate rela-
tive? This is a question that perplexed
members of the East Newark Board of
Education at a meeting last night, and
It abs not been satisfactorily answered as
adoption of a set of rules concerning alb
sence of teachers.
The rule over which the question arose
is as follows: mo salary deduction shall
be made for absence where a teacher at
tends the funeral of an Immediate rela-
tive, provided the absence does not ex-
coed two days" The words Immediate
relative" were not considered sufficiently
specific n not one of the members
seemed DESTROYS of placing a set con-
struction on them. 1t was finally decided
to refer the question to the school gov
m committee.
In computing absence of teachers, two
half days or I'VE times tardy will consti-
tute a day absent. In case of illness a
DOCTORS certificate will not be necessary
when the absence does not exceed one full
day. In addition to those already stated
the rules as unanimously adopted are as
follows:
No deductions shall be made on account
of absence for these reasons: Death In
the immediate family, absence not to ex-
coed one week; summons to court, quar-
antine caused by pursuit of school duties,
visiting schools when excused by princi-
pal, to pass teachers examination. Fun
salary less 81 per day for the following
Personal Illness not to exceed
twenty days in any school year, and that
further time may be granted on recon-
of the medical inspector and
approved by the board of education; Sc
we're illness in immediate family, not to
exceed ten days in any school year; mar
rage of member of immediate family,
not exceeding one day.
Miss Clara Hummell, a teacher, who
was absent from school since May 2
was scored for her failure to report the
reason for %absenting herself. to Princi-
pal Nugent. 1t was explained that Miss
Hummell has been absent for nearly
thirty-five school days since February 10.
Some of the members suggested that
Miss Hummell suffer a salary reduction
but Principal Nugent, who was present,
stated the teacher is now Ill, according
ly, no action was taken by the board.

WOMEN PROTEST AGAINST
REMOVAL OF PRINCIPAL

Fifteen women who appeared before
the Board of Education, of Orange, last
night to protest against the removal from
office of Charles W. Evans, principal of
the High School, were indignant when
the board went into a secret executive
session without giving them a hearing
after they had waited over two hours.
Tn members stated that the only mat
ter to be discussed was the budget.
There we're also a number of men
present, presumably to speak against
removing Mr.. Evans. 1t was at the
suggestion of Commissioner Wilson,
chairman of the finance committee, that
the board went into a secret conference.
He said he did not believe the discussion
of the items in the budget would interest
the public.
The teachers committee of the board
recently announced its intention of ask
ing Mr.. Evans to resign and since
then prominent citizens have protested
against such action.

only Leuhrmann, Loeb and Cook were

So far there has been just a bit Of

going down under punts, but next week
tacking and signal practice will begin.
Just a few minutes for review.
Loeb, of last years varsity weighing
100, and good fighter from start to
finish. will play center.
Leuhrmann, weighing 100, captain
and four-year man, will play guard.
Means, 175 pounds, last years var
sity, will play the other guard. Means
ia a powerful man, and should break
things up in great shape this year.
Elmer Will Come Back
Elmer, weight 1870 who played var

return and will report next Tuesday.
He is bringing a man with him who

H. the balk Is one of the I'M

fan. 1t is about as mystifying as

bouts. ~.
SPECTATORS are not the only ones

constitutes a balk. and why. UNI

themselves are more or less at sea
regarding its exact limitations and
demarcations. whatever they are.

IT'S players can guess with any de-
gree OF certainty when he is going
10 pitch and when he intends to
throw to a base, and the men on
that team will steal bases with
comparative impunity.
5aIk Is a Mystery.
Sidestepping all the delicate
points and shades of points on
which good authorities differ, there
is a great deal of prevalent mys-
terry regarding the ballt which can
b. dispelled. To begin with, there
are nine kinds of balks. Probably
YOU thought a balk was simply a
bluff to pitch or to throw to base
without going through with it.
Sometimes a bluff to throw to A
base is a balk and sometimes it is
not; sometimes a bluff to pitch is a
balk and sometimes it is not. Some
times to throw to a base is a balk,
and sometimes ball pitched
sQuarely over the plate without
any pause in the motion is both
balk and a bali for the batsman
4 baik is not balk unless there
Is base runner, but some balks
are called balks if the bases are
empty. Here are the nine WAYS Of
making a balk
Nine Ways To Make Balk.
I. The pitcher starts to de-
liver the ball to the batsman or
10 throw to first base when
there is runner on first base.
and does not complete the pitch
or throw unhesitatingly.
.. If the pitcher throws the
bali 10 any base occupied bya
runner and does not step di-
ectIy-toward that base making
the throw.
;. If the pitcher delivers the
ball to the batsman while either
foot is back Of his slab.
T. If he pitches the bali with
out facing the batsman.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-09-07
Balk, Hardest 3*Play'' for Fans,
Is Explained by Expert Monty

.. If he pitches the ball
without keeping one foot on
the slab
s. If the pitcher holds the ball
so long that in the umpire's
opinion. he is doing it to de-
lay the game.
Z. If the pitcher gets into
position to pitch without hav-
ing the ball in his possession.
s. II the pitcher makes any of
the motions habitually used in
pitching to the batsman and
does not go through with the
delivery to the plate
8. If the catcher steps out
side the lines of his position
preparatory to receiving
pitched ball
When a balk is decided for anv
of these causes, every base runner
advances one base without liabil-
ity to be put out, because the de-
claring of a balk automatically
puts the ball out of play. If there
are runners on third and first
bases, for instance. and a balk is
made toward first, both runners
advance one base. 1t is easy to
remember that every base runner
is entitled to one base on every
balk, but the batsman does not go
to first.
The umpire is supposed to de-
clare a balk. without being appeal
ed to. but he seldom has that
chance, for 100000 claims of balks
are made by the coachers for every
balk declared
The pitcher can not make a balk
unless he is on the slab A bluff
throw to first base is not a balk
unless first base is occupied. A
bluff throw TO second or third base
never IS a balk, but if the pitcher
stands in his position and makes a
throw to any occupied base with
out stepping toward the base. it
is a balk
Three Are Obsolete.
The fourth, sixth and eighth
ways Of making balks practically
are dead letters The pitcher is
not required to face the batsman
all the time he is going through
his motions. No one recalls when
pitcher was penalized for delay
ing the game by holding the ball
while on the slab. and every good
pitcher makes some Of the motions
habitual to his delivery every time
he makes a throw to a base.
The third way of making a balk
is for the pitcher to start with
one foot behind the plate and take
two steps in his delivery. In the
detection Of this kind of balk.
Clark Griffith is worlds cham
pion. but he seldom gets them
called.
The first, second. seventh. eighth
and ninth ways of baking do not
affect the batsnan. When the bases
are all empty and the pitcher makes
balll of the third, fourth. fifth
or sixth kinds. the umpire calls a
ball. For instance, If the pitcher
takes two steps or fails to keep
one foot on the slab. it is a ball.
no matter it it is otherwise a
perfect strike.
