An odd incident in the eighth
inning of the Newark Baltimore
fray in Baltimore recently gave
Mickey Corcoran a homer. With
Downey on second and two down,
COrcoran slashed a hit to right
center. Meyers in the outfield
for Newark did not make an eff
fort to go after the pellet, but in
stead started to run for the club
house, apparently thinking that
it was the ninth inning. Gag
nier ran after the ball from
shortstop, but Corcoran easily
made the circuit.

PLAYER RELEASES HIMSELF.
Pitcher, Also League President, Takes
Action to Conform With Rule. Il


Action to Conform With Rule. 81
To hand your own release to yourself
is an unusual occurrence. Yet this is
what took place when Pitcher Will
liam E. Essick was released by the
Grand Rapids (NIich) Central league
club. He was the only member of the
pitching staff not yet in condition, and
as it was necessary to reduce the num-
Der of players TO conform to the league
limit Essick was the victim.
The release was drawn up by Presi-
dent William E. Essick of the Grand
Rapids club with all the customary
details. President Essick then placed
himself before a mirror and made
speech. in which he expressed his re-
greet that the league rules made it nee
essary for him to release his favorite
pitcher.
The document was rendered by the
presidents right hand and accepted by
his left. Thus President Essick re-
leased himself as a pitcher of the team
of which he is president and majority
stakeholder.
Essick is a warm weather pitcher
and says he probably will sign himself
again in midseason.

Blue SKY LAW DUE
Senate Approves and Bill Now Up
TO Governor West for His
Signature.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 27.-At least
some blue sky legislation for Ore
gon is assured if the governor af-
fixes his approval to Mitchell's house
bill which passed the senate today.
No opposition developed to the
passage OF the bill and it was the
subject of very little argument.
Mitchell in outlining the objects OF
his bill had the following to say:
blue sky Legislation in general is
aimed to put stop to the swindling
of the public by means of fake
stocks and bonds, and with the CO.
lumbia River Orchards bubble fresh
in the memories Of ALL it must be
admitted that the need for such a
law is urgent. The people of Oregon
and Washington lost more than a
million dollars to the promoters of
the Columbia River Orchards swim
die, and the bursting of the bubble
left train of misery and failures
that it will take years to cure. Pros
porous farmers, tempted by promises
of large returns, traded their homes
for the worthless securities; aged
couples were deprived of their little
homes; and when suit was brought
to recover, after the collapse, it was
found that the property had been
transferred TO innocent purchasers
1t was as bad as bank failure, and
in many cases even worse, because
people lost their on.
Under existing statutes there is
no way to reach these swindlers un-
til after the fraudulent nature of the
transaction has been completed and
then it is too late to save the money
OF those who have invested. This
bill will give the state a powerful
weapon for protection of the veal
against the vultures who are hover
ing ready to pounce down upon tn,
| unwary.
