Samoan baseball Is not quite 50
primitive as that OF the Eskimo tribe,
in which the batsman with a thigh
bone strikes at ball improvised from
skull. says the New York Sun. but
1t has SUFFICIENT points OF divergence
from its original model to make some
PREDATORY explanation essential TO an
understanding OF It
Originally IL was an adaptation OF
the English game OF cricket. and by
that name it Is still played In the Ger.
man islands of Upolo and Sayaii. With
the establishment Of an American
naval station at Page Page the patrio-
tic natives developed the present
game OF baseball. Except for changes
OF name, however, ne game is still
played in accordance with many OF
the old rulings.
A game between two localities In
eontesting villages. The ball is OF
regulation model. and the bat. in size
and shape, compromise between
those OF baseball and cricket Instead
OF a home plate q single stake Is
used, the latter being out IL this
stake is struck with q pitched ball,
as In cricket.
A game consists of but a single In
ming. and Is finished when every man
playing has had his turn at bat. a con-
summation which may be reached in
anywhere from four to 10 days. A
man continues batting until he Is out.
His turn may be productive OF score
of anywhere from nothing to several
hundred runs. A ran is scored, as in
two old cat. every time the man who
runs for the batter makes the journey
to and from stake distant about the
interval between home plate and first
base.
lnter.viilage Rivalry.
The game to be described was be-
tween the teams Of the villages Of
fauga-sa and Page Page, respectively
champions of the leeward and the
windward side Of the island Of Tutila.
Chief Malatoba. Of Fauga-sa won the
toss, and sent Page Page to bat.
There was a tense silence as the
pitcher ,unwound and delivered the
first ball. but as Manga stepped for
ward and laced It out for q screaming
drive high above the council house
and into the sea, bedlam broke forth.
Willis q ithe-limbed Fauga-sa field
er went aarting like a seal through
the water after the ball, Maugua's
runner, his every nerve and muscle
strained to its utmost, was piling up
the runs for Page Page.
Five times he had made the course
and the swimmer had only reached
the ball and thrown it awkwardly to-
ward ne shore to teammate close

TOM STOUT'S LETTER
Interesting sdeights on men and things political
u

I sippi valley states in recent wears have
emphasized the necessity of taking
measures to protect the lives and prop
erty Of millions residing on those areas
and for this purpose, almost untold
sums are demanded. The aid of the
government in the construction of good
tonnage highways is recognized as a
meritorious demand upon the public
treasury but it will not be worth while
beginning on that project without be-
ing first prepared to pour out tons Of
millions. For the development of Alas
ka $ marvellous resources. it will be
necessary to extend thirty or forty
millions for railroads and other agen-
cies Of development. The people are
demanding. and have good right to de-
mand, better postal facilities including
II great extension of the parcels post
and this creates another demand for
staggering sums Of cash. There is a
widespread agitation for the acquisition
of the telegraph and telephone lines by
!hc government but before the deal
could be consummated, Uncle Sam will
have to go down in his jeans and bring
forth not less than two hundred mil
lions in real money. If we are to main
tain even moderate army and navy
We must stand ready to pungle up bet
ter than three hundred million dollars.
a truly stupendous offering on the altar
of the god of war. And SO is goes, a
and hundred million in another d.
rection until the mind stands appalled,
in its effort to comprehend the vast
totals which are piled up every year in
order that the wheels of government
may run smoothly and its vast and in
tlicate machinery hum in cOnsonance
with the demands of a progressive and
somewhat extravagant people.
All the big appropriation committees
of the house are now wrestling with
the budget in an endeavor to keep with
in the bounds Of the estimated rev
enue for the next two years. This is
no easy task for the reason that even
the experts in the treasury department
have to depend somewhat upon guess
work in attempting to determine inst

what those revenues will amount to.
1t is easy to compute with some degree
OF accuracy what the receipts will be
from the internal revenue source, that
IS, the tax on liquors and tobacco But
Just what effect the new tariff will
nave on the government s receipts is
difficult to forecast. 1t is naturally to
be expected that there Will be some
loss through the drastic reductions in
customs duties on many imports. al
though some Of the more optimistic adj
vocates Of lower tariff rates express the
belief that the great increase of i'm
ports under the more favorable terms
of the Underwood bill will go far
toward balancing the receipts from the
operations of the new tariff act with
those of the 'Payne-Aldrich law. The
income offers another field for specula-
ton. 1t is expected that We shall
raise in the neighborhood Of one hun
drel million dollars from the income
tax but just how near this estimate is
to the mark will not be known until
the act has been in force for least a
year. D,
Unquestionably, the pairing knife will
be used OH some of the estimates of
money required as submitted by the
great executive departments. Already
more than a million dollars have been
pared off the District Of Columbia
budget by the subcommittee having
that work in charge and as a result.
there is much wailing and a consider
able gnasking of teeth in this village.
1t will be recalled that the government
generously pays half of the munich pal
expenses Of the city of Washington.
This relieves the taxpayers of the cap

that the people Of Washington, not sat !.

New Light On
County Division
Many Voters Think that a Majority
Vote Against is Sufficient
In A Precinct

One wrong impression that has
been exploited among those who have
had to consider tie proposition of
county division is that respecting the
ultimate result of an election in the
localities which are in favor of pet.
ltlonlng out of the proposed county Of
Richland.
The impression has been heralded
about that if the election carries by
majority great enough to assure a
new county, any locality, though they
may have neglected to petition out
previous to the election, which has cast
majority vote opposing division may
not necessarily be. included in the
new county. In the event certain
locality neglects to petition out,
thinking that poll of the votes in
their section will be all that is nee
essary to bring about the desired re-
suit are not acting as they should for
if the proposition carries and al
though the locality in question should
vote against the proposition they will
as provided by law, be forced to
become part of the newly created
county. This should be taken as a
Yellowstone monitor. [volume] (Glendive, Mont.) 1905-1928, 1913-12-25
