The execution was turned over to Deputies Winter and MetZSer, and they found out by telephoning to the office or the New York club that Marquard would undoubtedly pitch.
 The deputies knew Sheriff Harbur- gers enthusiasm and on the advice or Albert Blumenstiel, counsel to the Sheriff, they decided to call up liar burger at Baltimore.
 ;"You say Marquard is going to pitch today" the, Sheriff said over the phone. ,'Then by all means do noth- ing to interfere with his success in the game. It is your duty to obey the law, but I would suggest that the law would not be broken or even wrenched if you waited until the game was over to serve the execu- ton: De Suldeu eAlAtoly py ih"I ; V . are told when you reach the Polo Grounds"
 The deputies then set out for the game, and when they reached the grounds they sought out Secretary Jo- seph D. OBrien and explained that they had to put the execution in Mar guards hands before he left the grounds.

 for HoIyoke Today

bygones. Manager, McCann, who was not present Saturday when the trouble took place. had a conference with Snyder yesterday. He wanted to know why Chief did not report at Sea Breeze Sunday.

WAITING GAME PAYS
 IN BASEBALL THESE DAYS

In an article entitled How to Win Baseball Games,'' in the July num- Der of The American Magazine, Hugh s. Fullerton lays down some general rules that all players should under stand He illustrates his points with numerous anecdotes. Following is an extract, showing the advantages of the waiting game:
 s''No team ever won a pennant that was not a waiting team'-that is one that could compel the opposing pitch CT to put 'em over in the groove. It does not necessarily follow that to be a. good waiting team a team must draw many free passes to first. The object is not so much to force the pitcher to serve four wide pitches as to force him to use his full strength, and to get in the hole,' which, in baseball means to force him into a position where, to avoid giving a pass he must pitch the ball over the plate. If the count is two balls and no strikes the batter is morally certain the next will be over the plate whether it is straight or a curve, and he also knows that. in his anxiety to make certain of throwing the ball over the plate, the pitcher will not dare ito put as much on the ball as he would do lf there were two strikes and one or two balls called. Therefore he is prac- llCallX C6rIdIH Iudl lilC 'llO&l OaiA NNAA be a good one to hit, and he will set himself grab toe hold and double his chances of a base hit.
 'One of the best examples of the re- suits of waiting is the perennial vic tory of the teams representing the University of Illinois in the western college championships. George Huff teaches his men how to wait, and when to hit His system makes his weak batters look like sluggers. and his mediocre pitchers look strong, be- cause while he makes his batters wait until opposing pitchers are in trouble, his own pitchers work all the time not to fool the batter but to get him in hole' Illinois has won the Con- ference championship so regularly that it almost is conceded before the season starts"

New York, Feb. 19.-lf the move
ment set on foot in New York this
week is carried through a new star
viii be added to the national has
within the next year or two. The
proposal does not look to the admls'
sion of Alaska TO the union as might
be supposed" but to the creation OF
the state of Manhattan with Dounda-
ries practically the same as those
of Greater New York, except tha.
tho whole OF Long Island would be
included instead Of only a part as
at present The plan is being push
ed in all seriousness and a bill for
accomplishing this purpose has been
introduced in the state legislature
Before the new state can become IA
actualty the proposal for its crea-
ton must be voted upon by the. peo-
pie Of the city and those of the state
and their action, if favorable, would
have to be ratified by the president
and congrNs While there seems
little doubt that the citizens of
the metropolitan district would vote
for divorce from the rest of the
state. il is doubtful if the residents
of "up-state' would consent since
the state derives twothirdS or
more of its revenues from various
taxes contributed by the city 1t is
pointed out by those behind the new
movement that the state OF Man
haitian would be the richest in the
country and that only two others
would have a larger population. The
cost OF running the city is at pres
ent $1G0,00O,0O0 and will soon pass
the 5000. 100000 mark which. of
mental expenses of any of the
states. The new commonwealth
would make good showing in 9th
er respects than those of wealth
and population too, for It's annual
output in manufactures would be
nearly $1,5OO,OOO,OOO and its COM
merce would amount to nearly 81
ooo,0oO,0Oo or more than half tina,
of the whole nation. Incidentally
, Tammauy Hall is in favor of the
new plan as most of its troubles as
a political organization come from
