THIRST rattle out Of the box, let
r me say this small package of
umpiring tips is not intended
for professional arbiters, albeit more
than one of such could improve him
self and give better satisfaction 20
players and public if he would take
to heart one or more of the points
herein will discuss.
So far as the teams and their cap
taips are concerned, it Is naturally
we'll for them to get, whenever pos
sible, an umpire who has had some
experience, who has some natural
qualifications for the work. and most
important of all, a man who has an
unblemished reputation. This article
will be Of no assistance whatever to
a prospective umpire in any one Of
these three considerations; but most
any one is liable to be called upon
at some time or other in his fortuitous
career to umpire game Of ball, and
perhaps point or two herein touched
upon may dwell in his memory and
help him out of more tnan one d.
lemma during the progress Of the
riot.
IN THE first place, if there is only
one umpire to the game, he should
take his stand behind the catcher,
and should remain there as long as
no men get on bases. He should
not think Of taking up this station
without a mask over his face; and y
there is a protector to be had, ne
should also don that
The umpire should be careful not 10
stand so close upon the catcher'S
heels as to crowd him, and he should
ever be on the alert for a possible
foul foul fly popping up. In such an
event he should be quick to jump
out of the catcher's way, tor naturally
the latter will be after it in a jiffy
A BOUT the hardest thing connected
with umpirlng is to call balls
and strikes TO the satisfaction of both
teams Often enough pitchers come
in complaining that the umpire al
ways makes them split the plate. II
true, this constitutes just complaint,
for it is the acme Of good pitching
never to give a batter a ball squarely
over the middle If the umpire will
not give a strike when the pitcher
has both head and control sufficient
to just nick the corners, his good
work is nullified by the umpire's linn
itations of sight or judgment.
And umpires often enough call a
strike when the ball has passed the
batter at the level of the ;atter's eyes
or chin or neck This is a big mis-
take. Merely because the batter is
able to see over the top of the ball
or because many a batter likes to
take a wallop at a ball that is wind
ing snake-like around hts neck is no
reason why it should be called Il
strike. A judge of play should be
guided strictly and entirely by what

tablishing a worlds record for control,
he hurled against the Phillies yesterday
and for the seventh or eighth time this
season went the full nine innings with
out q base on balls
The Dodgers. after suffering two de-
feats at the hands Of the Braves, rose
up in wrath yesterday and gave the
Braves one Of the worst beating hand
ed any team this year The Brooklyn
ties garnered fifteen runs, scoring nine
in the third.
Lajoie, the Maps second sacker was
back in the game yesterday, and. de-
spite rumors that he IS to be benched
or used as a pinch hitter in the future,
It is a certainty that he will remain
as a regular for the balance Of this
season and several more to come.
Boehling, the recruit pitcher Of the
Senators, is setting the American
League afire. He has started seven
games and won them all, the majority
OF them being shut-outs.

Wilson, of the Pirates, made. two
home runs yesterday, but his efforts
were wasted, for the Cubs scored six
runs against four for the Pirates.
Eleven Tigers stepped to the plate in
the fourth inning Of the game against
the White Sox yesterday, with the result
that seven runs went across the mn
ish line, giving '.ae Tigers the game.
Wheat. of the Dodgers, made triple
and three singles OF. Of four times up
yesterday.
Larry Doyle. of the Giants. made
homer with two on bases YESTERDAY.
Several days ago he delivered circuit
swat with the bases crowded.
The Maps and Browns divided a dou-
ble-header yesterday, the Browns taking
the first game, an eleven-inning affair,
and the Maps the second, with Falken-
berg IN the box. This is the first game
Falkenberg has won since his winning
streak Of ten games was cut
The Cardinals justly might be called
the rally boys" Yesterday, tgey, re-
peated the stunt which they have been
practicing in the last month of coming
from behind and winning out by scor-
ing three runs in the eighth and one in
the ninth, taking the game from the
Reds.
Connie Mack has his eye focused on
George Brickley. brother Of Charles, the
Harvard football star. It's a Cinch that
if George can bat anywhere as well as
Charles can kick Connie win be placing
him in the sluggers position of the
Athletics lineup if he lands him.
For the third successive time the
Giants tussled with the Phillies in the
tluakertown bailiwick yesterday and
handed the third straight defeat, thus
clinChing the hold the Giants now have
on the upper ruLg in the National
Lea que ladder
Pitchers may come and pitchers may
go. but il seems that Mathewson and
his wonderful control and ability are to
remain forever In this, his thirteenth
season, as a big league pitcher, Matty
threatens TO eclipse all his previous rec

AL skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood cir
culation a good daily bath. This is
accomplished with S. S. s., the best
known and most highly. recommended
blood purifier ever discovered. It's
action Is very rapid. Its vegetable
nature is such that II naturally goes
right into the blood. saturates The
entire circulation, bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the
skin to heal quickly. The action Of
S. 5. S. IS that Of an antidote, and
this fact has been demonstrated time
and time again in the most severe
forms Of weeping eczema
Its influence in the tissues where
the tiny arteries transfer the red
blood for the worn-out blood to the
veins is quite remarkable and goes on
clock-the beat of the heart
And new skin is thus caused to
form, while the germs Of irritating
influences that cause eczema are
scattered and their harmful nature
entirely suspended.
6 s. S. has a wonderful tonic In
flueuce in the blood because it con-
tains no dope is not a "physic," ia

any other drugs except the remark

vegetable products of which # is
made.

many Of the strong. crude ointments
that used to be IN favor before they
learned that S. s. S. is safe, speedy

What Baseball Jumps Should Do
HeiSman Helps Amateur ArbiterS
+o-r

the rule says, and in this case the
provision is that it must be between
the knee and the shoulder.
MANY batters squat or crouch at
iNA the plate before the ball is deiv-
cred, and when it comes UP they
crouch a deal more. In this position
the ball seems often to go away over
their heads, when it would clearly be
a satisfactory height for another
man who did not have such a stoop-
ing attitude. An umpire should be
careful not to let a batter get away
with this crouching posture to such
an extent as to compel the pitcher to
put them all knee-high. The idea is
that it is a strike If it passes at a
height not greater than the shoulder
when the batsman is in a natural hit
ting attitude.
Umpires often make the mistake Of
Judging a pitched ball by where the
catcher caught it. Often enough the
catcher pulls" the ball so cleverly as
to deceive the umpire; and then again
the mere effect Of gravity or the
curve Of the ball, coming late and
suddenly, distorts the umpire's tudg-
ment.
7 TMPIRES frequently make the mis-
~ take of calling a decision too
quickly They have it in their minds
that this shows efficiency and eXecu-
tive capacity Also IL is sometimes
intended as a species Of bluffing, cal
culated to make the players believe
that the decision must be correct be-
cause of the very snappishness with
which it is given. To a certain extent
this may be so; but only too often
this lightning like decision connotes
the very opposite of accuracy.
1t is well though, for the umpire to
be as quick as he can in calling the
third strike on a batter when the lat
ter has not swung at it. If the catch
er holds this third strike it does not
make any difference, as the batter is
out Of it anyway; but should the
catcher drop this last strike it would
look as though you were giving him a
chance to recover the ball before the
runner reached first if you delay no
tifying the runner at once that 1t is
the third strike and he had best run.
1T is the tendency nowadays to call
most every ball that is hit imme-
diately down to the ground a foul
ball. whether it afterward rolls foul or
fair. I incline to think this is good
praCtce' TOT unless one QoeS can suCll
a ball something without delay 1t
puts the batter in an awkward posi-
ton. This case should be carefully
distinguished, however, from that
where the batter hits ball into the
diamond that is manifestly fair, and
has been from the start and then in
starting out for first base he runs
himself into the bounding or rolling
ball. Here the batter is out at once
for touching a fair batted ball.

THE race in the American League
L has assumed a very different as
poet from the one in the National, for
class told from the getaway IN mat
argument Even rival American
LeaguerS admit that the Athletics
have shown all the class of the cir
cult so far, and they have opened
up such a nice gap now they can
afford a comfortable slump. At the
beginning of the season, the outlook
was for one of those nip and tuck
affairs in both leagues, but the out
look was badly upset in the Ameri
can. The Boston Red SoE and the
Washington Club We're to abound
with class, while something was ex-
pected of the White Sox and little
thought of Cleveland.
Boston has been a pitiable failure
and disappointment. The team is
going slightly better now, but there
was plenty Of room for Improvement.
Even should the club regain the old
stride that carried it to a worlds
championship last year, it does not
strike me it would have a chance
with the Athletics now. 1t must be
remembered that the Philadelphia
club is playing much better ball than
it did last summer when it stopped
through its schedule, feeling conf
dent that no team was ever created
which could beat it to the pennant
There is a grave doubt in my mind
whether the Red SoX could have de
feated the Athletics last season if
they had performed as they are
going this year.
UTNHE Athletics have the class of
l. this league" a player on a
rival American League team told me
the other day. "They are not over
looking any opportunities this sum
mer. either. Mack has his pitching
staff going as well, if not better, than
any in the league, and it was sup
posed to be his weakness. 1t has
been largely through clever handling
that Mack has achieved these results
with his pitchers.
In the first place, he fixed Bender
so that he would work his best this
season and he did this through one
Of the well-known Mack methods
promised reward at the end Of the
season for delivering the goods. Then
he worked his youngsters with great
wisdom, getting them used to the big
league ways, while the pitchers on
the other clubs had not yet gotten
the spring rust out of their arms
and the going was easier, In this
way they acquired confidence in
themselves. Then Mack got to TAX
ing the squads out Of the games and
putting in a veteran when his team
acquired a lead Of a couple Of runs
to make it sure.
Connie fooled Griffith in Wash
ington recently when he sent both
Bender and Plank out in front of the
bench to warm up before the game
and hid Bush behind the grandstand
where he worked his arm out. When
the game. began, he sat Plank and
Bender down on the bench and sent
Bush to the box, figuring on taking
chance with a yOungster in the
game with Johnson and working his
veterans against the easier Washing
ton pitchers. Bush got away with
the game. Mack was always a great
man to jockey his players"

RED LAKE
In Brule County to Be Filled
With Artesian Water.

Chamberlain, Jan. 10.-At the No
vember election Brule county voted
$40, 900 for the purpose of digging four
artesian wells to secure enough water
to refill Red Lake, a vast tract of land,
which was formerly a lake covering a
large portion of thirteen sections of
land. Word has been received from
the land department at Washington
that the government has no interest in
the matter and will offer no objections.
Farmers living on land adjacent to
the vacant lake bed assert that under
the law of accretion they are entitled
to file on the land, and utilize it for
farming purposes. II is probable that
steps will be taken by the farmers to
assert their rights in the land, and
prevent, if possible, the filling of the
lakebed. 1t is believed, however, that
the difficulties will be overcome and
that in the spring work will com
mence on the wells, and that a large
body of water will again cover the
ground. 1t is the intention to stock
it with fish and make of ii a fine resort.

INDIANS SHOOT
A Quarrel at Rosebud Results
in a Fatality.

Rosebud Indian Agency, Jan. TO-
George Charging Hawk a Sioux war
rior, is dead from a wound self in6ict-
I'd. and Raymond Stewart, his brother
in-law and also an Indian is suffering
from several bullet wounds as the re-
suit of a shooting ARRAY which took
place at the camp of Two Strikes, n
venerable Indian chief. in Todd county.
Some days previously the two Indians
had trouble, and Charging Hawk evil
IDENTIFY brooded oyer ii until his heart
was bad" When an Indian reaches
this condition nothing will satisfy him
but the shedding of human blood.
Loading his gun, Charging Hawk
went to Two Strikes camp and. sing
ling out Stewart, opened fire ON him
at close range. Three bullets took
effect, one in the wrist of Stewards
right arm, another in the arms and
another in the body Just below the
ribs. Doubtless believing he had
killed Stewart. Charging Hawk turned
the weapon upon himself, killing
himself instantly by sending a bullet
through his heart. Until this .ragic
ending neither Indian had aver before
been involed in trouble and beth were
regarded as peaceful.
