Fast Thinking Necessary.

A thinking ball player Is one who has
thought of that possibility just before the
play. Tearing in at record speed to
scoop UP a dribbling bunt. the player
must know what to do with the ball
before his hand touches It, 1t he
stopped to look. set himself or think he
would not have a chance.
a pitcher looks at a batter saunterlng
to the plate and recalls the mental blue
print that he has OF him. He must
know that batter's weakness and pitch
that he likes-may lose the game.
An outfelder also should know wha
that batter is liable TO do He edges
over to left or right, comes in a few
yards or works backward for long hit.
In his mind there are three problems

By PAUL ARMSTRONG,
Author Of "Alias Jimmy Valentine. -

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-Bascball is called
our national game There can be no
doubt Of it, for on every vacant lot there
is diamond and it is known wherever
the flag flies.
IL is played with nine men on a side,
with manager and some twenty others
on the bench, but don't forget the man
ager; practically two umpireS (who are
either burglars or murderers, according
to the stage of the game). and from two

at the quickly trained athletics (who OF
course, would knock you down 10 shake
hands II they met you in cafc).
Combat is the rule Of life. From the
glad day when man lay IN wait with a
stone tied TO a club to greet his fellow,
10 this when he stalks him with propo-
sition, little has changed. In fact, moth

Once the weak and worthless were

BOISE IS WILLING
To PLAY IN UNION

BOISE, Ida. Oct. 5.-The directors OF
the Western Tri-state league will meet
in Boise this week to decide whether
or not the Boise franchise may be taken
from the Western Tri-state territory.
Failure on the part Of Fred Bossner,
president Of the Boise baseball associa-
ton, 10 secure the consent of the other
directors of the league for Boise to
withdraw and relinquish the local terri
tory necessitated the calling of the meet
ing.
II the Western Tri-state league can
survive this meeting, 1t can be said with
every degree OF certainty that Boise
Will not hold a franchise.
Negotiations are quietly In progress
10 place Boise in the Union associa ton.
II Is probable that Judge McCredie,
holder OF the franchises OF both Portland
clubs, would be willing to back the Boise
club In the event II could gain admit
tance into the Union association.

Reserved Seats Distributed.

Distribution OF the 5000 reserved seat
tickets for the series at the New York
grounds was under way today The
greater part OF these tickets have gone
10 baseball men throughout the country
and TO New York club patrons OF long
standing. Some 10000 seats in the lower
stand and bleachers Will be available to
the public at the grounds for each game
OF the series. The seating arrangements
are believed by the magnates TO be such
as TO eliminate chances OF speculation
as far as possible
There seems no doubt that all the reg
ulars of the Athletics will be ready TO
take the field and play the game. with
out physical handicap. While it ap-
pesred to be settled tonight that Larry
Doyle. the hustlng second baseman of
the New Yorks. would he in shape to
take his position at the beginning of
play on tuesday, the impression pre-
vailed that McCIraw would be without
the services OF Fred SnodSrass, the
teams regular center fielder when the
series opened. Doyle, with the eXcep
lion OF a little stiffness In his throwing
arm appears TO have recovered well from
the effects of his recent automobile spill.
Snodgrass's Charley horse" however,
still Is botherns him so much that 1t
is out Of the question to expect him to
play to his usual form.

What Baseball Is.

Baseball as our national sport, Is the

And of all these wonderful things about
baseball the most wonderful is the dla =

distances and left It TO us, no one
knows. Perhaps many boys and men
took a hand, for 1t seems to have just
come to us. But the wonder of II still
remains. Rules have been changed. the
pitchers box brought UP, set back and
brought up again, but the diamond itself
is Sa cred.
1t calls for speed beyond the ordinary,
and an ability to throw better than good.
and greatest Of all. II keeps the game
so close to the spectator that he secs
It all.
And what can happen on that dia-
mond in single game Never does the
exact same thing happen twice. There
are a million combinations and thou
sand angles. And there is no time to
