They also are always taking the
chance of being "beaned." That's
true, for the reason that they are set,
they are rigid, they cant get out of
the way of a bah that breaks at the
last moment and starts for their
head
Many a man has been hit by a
pitched ball for the reason that he
set himself TO swing. The best
way is to be up there lounging like
Wagner. Then you are in position
to step forward and meet the ball.
You also are in position to swing
at the fast breaking ones. You
are running mighty little chance Of
being "beaned."
Speaking Of the Weaknesses OF
batters it's my opinion that Wagner
has the most peculiar Of any man in
the game. It's no use to try to fool
him on a curve You can't It's just
as useless to try fast one Hell
pound that, regardless OF where II
is pitched. He cares nothing for a
splitter and a change of pace means
nothing but "a fattening OF his bat

Ball That Fools Wagner.
Jimmy Archer tells me that when
the pitcher must pitch to Wagner

for one square over the heart of the
plate, with nothing but speed on IL
Archer says that Wagner will do less
with this than he viii If you try tC
fool him. and Mordecai Brown used
to do the same thing.
Since Wagner and Latoie have
been compared for years and years
perhaps II would not be wrong fol
me TO say here that Archer says thai
the two men are alike in their weak
nesses and that LaJoie can do less
with the ball which most batters Xix,
than he can with the hooks. the SLOW

by the aCrid tones of the infield-
ers, Wood finally begins the
march back to the box. Hastily
counting the fans in the left
bleachers, he adds up those in

everything else of interest, he
puts his spiked shoes fairly in the
box and begins TO swing his arms.
After a few seconds he warns

and bleachers snored raucously
after watching him for an inning.
RUDE Oldring pinched himself
urgently once or twice while at
the plate to make certain that he
was still awake. All Wood needs
to be the best pitcher in the world
is a grooming kind of lullaby to
match his actions. Then the ball
park would be an excellent sani-
tarium for sufferers from insOm-
MIA. Even without the lullaby Joe
is still some shakes of a twirler.

W0men;S STILES and LAWSUITS

A st. Louis woman has recovered a Judgment for
$500 against a bottling company for personal in
juries received when she was run over by a team
belonging to the company. The defense was that
she wore a hobble skirt at the time and that this
constituted contributory negligence. There was a
clash Of expert witnesses, but the preponderance OF
the testimony appears to have been that the iobble
skirt is not a hobbIe at all. that it permits of utmost
freedom of motion and that the plaintiff was exer-
3cising the normal caution that any well-dressed wom-;
an would display upon a thoroughfare. The presiding
Judge jocularly remarked after the verdict was re-
ceived that the hobble skirt stood acquitted by his
court.
While this verdict was being returned in st. Louis
the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad company was
posting notices at its stations and in the cars of all
tunnel trains, warning ladies that they can.
not run with safety in high heels and tight skirts.
and that IN order to avoid accidents they should move
slowly while going up and down stairs. The New
York correspondent does not conclude that this no.
arose from philanthropic motives. He hints that

the company posted 1t with the hope Of escaping
damage suits. These cases suggest that there may
yet be legislation as to woman's styles, based, not
on sentimental or moral grounds, but on the right OF
a common carrier to be secure from hazardous risks.
What form this will take is a matter Of conjecture.
Experienced legislators would not have the temel-
ity t9gattempt to dictate feminine styles. Nobody
but the Partisan stylemakers can successfully do
that, and their success is due to cunning rather than
to coercion. Common carriers may be given the right
to decline to carry passengers who are not safely
dressed, or the legislative relief may be in denying
right D recover damages where an injured person
has not merely assumed the risk, hut defied 1t. This
protection might likewise be extended to owners OF
private vehicles. But however sweeping the legisla.
ton may be along these lines, the critics Of styles
on moral and aesthetic grounds should not build up
false hopes. The legislation would merely relieve
common carriers and owners of private vehicles from
financial responsibility for accidents caused by the
hobble. skirt. 1t would not alter the styles a particle.
Neither legislation nor moral suasion can affect fem
mime styles. Opposition in any form only strengthens
feminine determination. A st. Louis Machiavelli
boasts Of a scheme he employs with frequent sue
cess. He is so enthusiastic in praise of any particu-
larly ,odious style his wife may affect that she be-
comes Suspicious and abandOns it. But the strength
of this, system lies in it's secrecy. which is already
violated.

Senate, House and Debate

In the following paragraph the Louisville Courier
lourn11r mods:
"Ans Alabama paper says the difference between
Underwood and Hooson is that Underwood has done
something in congress, while Hobson has only talked.
Ano.heS difference is that if Underwood goes to the
Senate she will keep on doing things, while if Hobson
a!,ould sbe sent he would not be encouraged to talk.
TIE Senate is not fond of gable"
Why, the Senate is the home of talk, says the
Washington Star. Criticism of the body is directed
mainlyaat that privilege, and at the encouragement:
given 10 the exercise of it. 1t is complained that
there e too much talk there. Every now and then
cloturessis proposed, but the proposition never gets
anywhere. Such a proposition has recently been
been made in connection with the currency measure.
Stop the talk in the Senate, the Presidents friends
say, and currency reform will be with us.
Maybe Mr.. Hobson's senatorial ambition is based
in part on a desire to get where talk. is not only pos
sible, but encouraged. The House is no place for
such an indulgence. Talk is far from free there. A
committee-that terrible committee on rules-stands
ready, and appallingly willing, to shut off oratory at
any time. The amount that has been suppressed
within the past few years-the Democrats taking up
the Republican PRACTICES enormous. Spellbinders
thus hampered have left congress because Of ingrow.
ing %oratory.
AS a member of the House Mr.. Hobson has not
talked much. His denverances which have attracted
attention have borne the hallmark of an entertainer.
They have fitted chautauqua audiences much better
than they would the small audience which usually
greets a speaker in the House. In that body, where
SO many members are speakers, a professional indifer-
ence is the rule. He is a rare man with a rare topic
who draws a full House.
But there is something to be said for both the
Senate and the House on this matter. The Senate
is 6 small body-less than a fourth the size of the
House. 1t can afford a fuller debate, and its rules
governing debate should be preserved. They seldom
operate for harm. They often operate for good. They
ha, s.saved the country from no little halfbaked
Legislation.
In the House, with its four hundred odd members,
unlimited debate might lead to paralysis. Action on
any important measure upon which sharp divisions
existed could be easily prevented. Chins are so
numerous, as long as they chose to wag no final vote
could be called.
Mr.. Hobson's ambition is natural, but Alabama,
with Mr.. Underwood within reach, will probably think
It over with great care. Mr.. Underwood has had
large experience as a legislator. and Just now expert
ence in national legislation is worth It's weight in
gold
