Mr.. Hart was the originator Of the
foul strike rule by which the first two
fouls hit by IA batsman counted as
strikes. The purpose was To elm
mate the growing tediopsness of See

balls in the hope of firing the pitcher

the foul strike before IT was adopted.

LANGE'S CASE is LESSON.
Youn Pitchers Should Profit by His
Experience.

Chicago, Aug. Exhibitions young
means fame and dollars in the major
leagues, should study the case of
youngstor will come up this season
who possesses more speed or better
curves than this same Lange. Yet
Lange Is on his way back to the min
ors, traded by the White Sox
Langc had terrific speed. Lange had
sharp breaking curves. His compan-
ions refer to the stuff" that Lange
possessed. Yet Lange was never more
than "a promise He had the natural
ability. Yet he never developed into
IA great pitcher and seven other club
owners were quite content that he
should drift back
Nor Is there any secret about
Iange's ability to turn his great nat
ural ability into success. Baseball
was a game with him. II was never Il
profession or "a vacation. Lange could
rot set the difference i'm the view
point OF the spectator ana tn" player
The former is there for amusement
and To see the home team win. The
player Is in competition with serious
minded young men, determined t.
bring that amusement to it's highest
standard.
Had LANCE devoted the same
thought To his work that he did Ia
creating laughter by practical jokes
his natural ability would have been a
blessing To him. Gould he have SER
iously tried to perfect his natural
advantages his speed and curves
would have brought him success.
Youngsters coming in should realize
that baseball is amusement for the
spectators only.

VII SON TO NAME JENNINGS JUDGE
HEARING ON BURNS
 BANKING BILL

The House committee on banks and banking gave hearing last night on the Burns banking bill, that is now up for consideration. The banking business from nearly every section of Alaska was represented at the meet i ing. J. B. Marshall appeared for the bank of Katalla and J. J. Cole repre- sented the Merchants and Miners bank of Nome. Fairbanks banks may be said to be represented by Repre- sentative Burns, the author of the bill. who is an officer of the First Ma tional bank of that city, Local banks were represented by B. M, Behrends, T. F. Kennedy and Gny McNaughton.
 The bill was discussed in an in formal way and, on the whole, has the approval of the banking interests. The provision limiting the loan to any one individual or corporation to one.fifth the amount of the capital stock is objected to on the grounds that it would work hardship on the businessmen of Alaska who at cer- tain seasons of the year must draw heavily on the banks in order to lay in the necessary supplies for the peo' pie. It is very likely that this fea- ture of the bill will be amended. The hearing was continued until this af- ternoon at three o'clock when the Kel' ly banking bill will also be consid- cred.

Another amendment was adopted permitting physicians that have had three years experience in drug store to prepare prescriptions Other amendments of minor nature were adopted.
