Rules Slowed Up Catchers

feet down into the soil How a
mar help getting slow when he is prac-
t.caiIy set and fixed in n spot? The
baseInen and the outfielders are always
moving around and naturally retain
their activity. But if a catcher were to
hop back and forth or range around as
the .ielders do the pitchers would want
him sho. at shutdown. He must stand
right there as a target for the pitch.
ing
~In earlier years the catcher only
came up when two strikes were called
or men were on the bases and spent a
large part OF the time back of the
stand. with occasional excursions after
fouls He got more exercise that way
and didn't get rooted the way he does
today. And there. in brief. is the whole
story OF the slow catchers and why
they are so slow"

valiant protest. the remembrance OF
the disparagement OF the umpire's dis

forgiven. and of the field went Mala-

to his players to call the umpirc's Ut

thority. And out OF the stand went the

Later a man was seen standing up

SEEMED TO BE DEAD
9. L. BoeckIln and Joseph Frans,
After Being Capsized Mile From
Shore in Lake Pistakee, Are
Pulled From Water.

Gray's Lake, lll.-The lives OF tNgo
men were saved at Lake PistaBee
during the last cold spell of the past
winter, because their bodies froze to-
gether. A mile or more from the
shore OF the lake, where they were
duck hunting, the open boat cap
sized. Stretching out their arms to
each other across the boat bottom The
men clasped hands.
Then, while they lost consciousness
in the bitter cold, ice formed over their
hands and arms SO that they could
not drop from the boat Thus they
drifted.
One Of them was Charles Lawrence
Boecklin of the firm of Boecklin Broth
ers, commercial artists, All North
Dearborn street. Chicago. The other
was Joseph Frana. whose home is on
the shore of the lake.
Herman Matheson, proprietor OF a
hotel bearing his name at the lake
shore, was walking along the shore
with Jacob Larsen. a boat builder.
Larson saw the upturned row boat.
That's queer" he said There's
something fastened to the boat"
In a few minutes the boat came
nearer, drifting fast.
ITS man." exclaimed Larson.
IT'S two men," said Mathesen.
They ran TO a nearby boathouse
and set forth in another row boat. 1t
was with difficulty. after the cap
sized boat had been towed ashore,
that the frozen bodies were released
from the boat bottom.
1T seemed certain that both men
were dead" said Mathesen afterward
THE parts of their body that had not
been submerged were covered with
ice. Their heads were great cakes OF
ice that formed from the roots OF
their hair. The splashing water had
frozen almost as 1t fell on them"
The victims were taken to the

THIN PASTE ON THE STAMPS
Postoffice Clerk Says They Are Pre-
pared Thus for Summer, but
Thicker fer Winter.

To stamp out an alleged evil, that
of a shortage of mucilage on postage
stamps, numerous complaints have
been made to the postoffice de-
partment.
At a substation in West Thirty-flrst
street a clerk at the inquiry win
dow" who admitted he has held that
position for more than Is years and
knew more about stamps and their
them, threw some light on the sub
Sect.
In the first place." he said. there
are tvo kinds of stamps prepared
with two different kinds Of mucilage
coating
One is a winter stamp, which nat
urally has a heavy coating. The sum-
ner stamp is as thin with mucilage
covering as an Atlantic City bathing
suit. AS rule the public is not aware
OF this distinction.
Now, what is the result? Persons
using stamps In the summer time are
ms industrious in the licking proc
the stamps are alternating under q
heavy coating of mucilage. Naturally
all the patent glue Is taken of. and
the stamp, IL 1t remains on the letter,
does so through faith.
The many complaints this winter
have been caused by the mild wealth.
er The department at Washington
has been sending out summer stamps,
hut the patrons have been using a
winter tongue on them. There is the
whole subject summed up in cocoa
