By J. ED GRILLO.

Base ball players are frequently crfti
cised for taking long chances on the
bases when, in fact the percentage is
in their favor. Let a player try to take
an extra base on play, and IL he Is
nailed he is blamed for having been too
daring. and yet 1t took a perfect throw
and perfect handling of the ball to make
the play possible.
A ball team which does not take lfber-
ties on the bases hasn't chance to
be winner. II every man who reaches
the sacks would wait until he was batted
around the circuit very few runs would
be scored. and the game would deteriorate
into an embarrassing exhibition of which
the public would soon tire. Furthermore,
there are more ball games won because Of
daring base running than are lost by 1t,
for the very good reason that any time a
ball has to be thrown. caught and the
runner touched the percentage Is in favor
of the runner.
No part of this years schedule offers
SO strenuous a test on the Nationals
as the one of the present week, when
both Boston and Philadelphia, conceded
to be the strongest teams in the league,
make their second appearance OF
the season here. In way this may
be a blessing in disguise. for II
Grff1th's team can make a respectable
showing against it's two rivals it
should have easier sailing later on
when the weaker teams will make
their appearance here. Furthermore. 1t
is an advantage to get as many Of the
games scheduled with these strong
teams over with as possible at this
stage Of the race. for the remainder of
the trip to the finish should then be
much easier
team, and especially SO with our star
pitcher on the doubtful list.
1t is hard to believe the report
coming out Of Detroit that Hughey Jen-
-nings' Is to be released because Of the
poor showing of the Tigers. Surely

jority Of his players start on the down.
grade and are unable to deliver the goods.
With a good ball team Jennings has
proved himself a capable leader. He has
never been placed in a position until re-
Gently where he had to build up new
team, and he has hardly had time to
make any progress in this direction. and
1t would not be fair to him to cut him
out at this time.
It will be recalled that at the time Of
the strike in which the Detroit players
INDUCED 1t was rumored that Jen-
nings was in bad with the club and the
powers of the league for having allowed
this to happen. Jennings. however, ex-
planned his position satisfactorily at that
time, and there was absolutely no feeling
against him, though no doubt IL the De-
troit rumor is true that he is to be let out
1t will be attributed to his connection with
the strike of the Tigers.
As a rule a team which is not hitting
never makes a good impression. and yet
though the Nationals were not strong
with the stick yesterday, they showed a
whole lot Of class In that first struggle
against Boston. But victory is almost
out Of the question when the best hitters
on a team are unable to connect safely.
Moeller. Foster and Gandil failed to break
into the base hit column yesterday, and
that, of course, explains much.

IL The game was marked by heavy hit
ting and cratic fielding. Although the
Aggies were outhit, the Interior club gave
them their runs by its many errors.
Rosseau, who relieved Owen on the
mound for the Farmers. retired the side
in order in the three innings that he
worked. Up to that time the Interior

All OF the clubs in this circuit will be

has a good chance to get one Of the prizes
offered by Mr.. Clark Griffith, and the
league, no doubt, has a great chance as
the uniforms Of each club are almost new
and make good appearance.
But six clubs Of sixteen have given an
exhibition of real big league base ball
this season. The Giants. Pirates. White
and Red Sox. Washington and Athletics
hook good. but Rochester could probably
beat out any of the ten others, or at least
make them travel hard. No wonder there
is a scramble for new players.
The fans are not slow to shower praise
on great pitcher or fielder. but 1t takes
a great batter to be a real hero in base
ball. The dramatic elements Of action
and suspense are combined to an artful
/ degree In a base hit that scores the win

thor of the swat gets all the curtain
calls regardless Of other features in the
! contest. Frank Baker will be remember

Brooklyn's just Judge
By ADA PATTERSON.

THOUANDS of women, after
u reading the decision of a
Brooklyn judge, smiled with serene
satisfaction, Many of them ex-
claimed; go, Just iudge!''
Justice Harean of the supreme
court told a deserter husband that
he must go back to his wife. When
the male deserter from the mat
rimonial army protested. saying:
HYour honor, she drove me
away by her pagging. the stern
faced man in the silk robe looked
down from his lofty bench, and
replied: "That is no excuse for
abandoning your home. A man
must stand such treatment from
his wife"
Every married woman, then, Is
entitled to tell her husband home
truths, facts unadorned, and 1t is
the spirit of the law that he must
listen to her chidings. He must
not swear. He may not even talk
back, for if he does he may be-
arrested for disturbing the peace
Of his neighbor.
Truly this is the age of women,
the reign of the militant female,
even in the home.
