RUNNER OUT ON
SLIDE TO FIRST
ChivinGtOn Says So, But
Herman Is Not Quite
Agreed

CHICAGO. July 29.-An 'unwritten
law" promulgated by umpires under
which they declare out a batter who
slides into first base. was upheld by
President Chivington of the American
Association on the ground that the
slide to the initial sack serves no
purpose but that Of confusing the UNI
pire. President Chivington's state
ment was made in answer to an in
formal protest by Manager Friel of
st. Paul, regarding a play made at
St Paul the other day when Umpire
O'Brien called out "Dixie" Walker
for sliding head first into the base.
There is no time gained by Sill
ing and in the case of first base,
where the base runner does not have
to dodge a touch. the only reason for
a slide is to raise a dust that will hide
the play from the umpire" said Mr.
Chivington

declaring out a player who slides head OF
feet first into FIRST base.
"There is lot to be said on both
sides of the slide-to-frst proposition, -
Mack declared. and it is hard to say
whether the present official ruling which
allows it. ought or ought not be
changed. The biggest thing in its favor
is the fact that it undoubtedly prevents
many collisions between the first base
man and the runner A baseman may
bc drawn back upon the bag by a high
throw or a hounce. and unless the run
nor coming full speed down the path,
slides into the bag, a head-on collision
is inevitable ! have seen a slide pre-
vent smashes that might have had seri-
ous results innumerable times" he con-
cluded.
Asked whether or not he thought the
slide to first saved time. Mack said he
thought it did. possibly. a fraction of a
second which in so many cases decided
the life of runner and the result of a
game "It IS probably faster TO launch
Yourself at the bag when going at full
speed than it is TO cover the same dis
tance on the ground step by step he
said. "As TO the danger Of sinking he
continued. "some players try to spike
the baseman every time they slide into
a bag. but clean players won't spike a
man jumping into first base often
enough 10 warrant change in the
rules The danger Of colliding with both
PLAYERS on their feet is the great one,
it seems to me-" said he who ought to
