, A young fellow comes to bat with a
man on second. He is keen for a
long hit, and having got away with
the stunt in the minor leagues, i'm
mediately proceeds to call the turn.
He imagines the pitcher is going to
hand him a straight, fast ball, and he
steps into it. Instead, sharp break
ing curve comes into him and before
he can get away it catches him on
the side of the head and lays him out
temporarily.
Many a promising yOungster has
been made bat shy" because of this
The old confidence is gOne-perhaps
forever. When Corhan came to the
Sox a year ago he was wonderful
shortstop, one of the fastest in the
business. He also had the making Of
heavy hitter But during his early
career he tried to Outguess a pitcher
and was terribly hurt. From that
day he was lost to the SOX and was
released to the Coast.
Then there was Billy Purtell, an
other promising SOx player. He was
conner as a third baseman, but was
beaned while trying to Outguess a
pitcher He stood away from the plate
after that, lost his former confidence
and has quickly drifted back.
There are many examples, and it's
a pity. OF course, great natural slug
gers like Wagner and Ty Cobb, can
take a chance Of outguessing tWirl-
or, because they compose the few who
know how to guard themselves. But
for the vast majority it's best to
take what comes and stick to tn"
game.

The first game, between the Hea-

practically a green team, they have
been coming on fast in knowledge of
the game and ability to pass the bali,
and. while they are not expected to

still, they have better chance of
doing SO tomorrow than they have
had of coming out on top in any
former game this. season. Punahou
will have two of its best men out of
the lineup this week both Sinclair
and Walker being out of town.
The closer will be between the

HILO BILLIARD
CHAMPIONSHIP

Especial Star Bulletin Corres9on Isncal
HILO. Hawaii. Jan. the billiard
tournament which has bcea taking
place here for the past two weeks was
completed last Monday nigat. s. NJ.
Spencer. with a handicap of ten
points, just managing 10 beat ouS An-
drewS, who was playing from scratch.
The contest, which WAS for one hum
bred points, was q close enc risht up
to the finish, and looked good sor the
loser till it came to the yerv last. Al
that time Andrews had a couple OF uH-
fortunate kisses which threw the balls
out of position and spoiled his score.
There were no long runs, Andrews
making the high score OF ten. while
his average reached 2 lie as against
2 90 for Spencer. ~
The game started out with Andrews
playing in good form, and be took the
lead In the first fifty. Then he kept
making slow gains till he had scored
ninety points. Spencer being but sew
enty seven. At this time his bad luck
commenced, and while be was making
seven points, Spencer scored twenty
three, giving him the first position.
Another game In which there was q
good deal of interest took place on
Tuesday night, being 4 special contest
between Jack Easton and H. M. Leon
ard. 1t was long time since Easton
had played at all and the contest re-
suited from challenge, which was
made when he was ioshing Leonard
about The gamo. Leonard started out
in the hundred-point contest with
everything in his favor From the
very start he ran away from his OPP
ponent and had scored half the need
ed points when Easton had but twen-
ty-four. Then Jack made a brace
and scored eighteen points In three
runs, putting him once more In the
running. Leonard had slowed up BY
that time but Il was too late to catch
aim, and he defeated the National
Guard captain by score Of ono hum
dred to ninety three.

Veteran Catchers Read Batters'
Intention By Position OF Feet

Veteran catchers like Stanage OF
| Sox, Archer of the Cubs, and Gibson
of the Pirates, watch the batter's
feet closely. They pay more at
tention to the footwork of the hitter
than any other motions. The reason
for this is obvious.
Take the prize fight game, for eX-
ample. Battling Nelson once said that
he could tell from the position of his
opponents feet what he was intend
ing to do. 81 never watch his eyes,
said the former lightweight champion.
His feet betrayed every motion he
planned This never once failed. Per
sons often chided me for looking down
all the time instead of watching the
eyes. But there was method IL my
madness"
The game goes for batters. Young
backstops naturally can't be expected
to be as crafty as the older heads.
They generally have enough keeping
track of the base runners and what
the pitcher is throwing. They lack
GOODNESS as a rule and all-around
generalship.
Among the first catchers who dis
covered the value of watching a bat
ters feet were Charles Bennett of
Detroit, Buck Ewing and King Kelly,
All three were experts and seldom
were outguessed. Johnny King also
was a wonder in deciphering what
the battcr's intentions were, AID so
was Roger Bresnehan, the depOscd
manager of the Cardinals.
The batter generally takes 4 GER
tain natural position when he plans
the hit-and-run game with a man on
first. He usually takes a different
stance--as they say in golf when a
sacrifice hunt is his intention. Som"
have a way of moving around that
betrays their purpose. Zimmerman is
one of the easiest battcrs in the coun-
try to watch It's only his natural
swatting ability, his knaCk OF Singing
almost wild pitches, that enables him
to break even with the crafty
CatChers.
This leads to another discussion
that of OutgucssinG pitchers. 1t is
more DANGEROUS to try to OutCUCSS a
pitcher than block slider off base.
The risk is more serious. Only tn"
younger hattCrs. those who are
anxious to make reputation as
sluggers. try to put one over the
twirlcrS.
AS a rule few pitchers "hcan" a
hitter because of Wildness. Occasion
ally a man like EeulhaCh. of the Cubs,
loses his control and the ball is liable
to crack a batter On the head But
the bad hurts come from trying to
outguess the finger, and here's the
way it works:

ported to the secret service bureau
at the Luncta station. in which it is

ease, WIS barbarously beaten to death
by four. F1IpInOs. two men and two
women.
The instrument Of torture was tn"

most painful whip imaginable. The
reason assigned for this treatment is
that the old man was possessed Of
evil spirits which they were attempt
ing to drive out. Their efforts were
all too cffcctual and the victim died
from the effect Of the beating.
To add to the horror Of the prac-
tice, when they observed the old man
was insensible, they heated water to
the boiling point and placed his feet
in it for the purpose of bringing him
back to life.
All of the witch flOggcrs have been
arrested and the prosecuting attorney
will prefer charges against them this
morning.

STARS OF SPORT
in BYG0NE DAYS

Dan Brouthers, the mere mention oil
whose name 25 years ago would
have elected the same admiration and
awe as !. that of Ty Cobb and Hans
WAGNER today was one of the great
est batters that ever wore a uniform.
He was a slugger pure and simple:
Dan could hit the ball, and for ii
consecutive years he swatted. over
the coveted 800 notch. One year he
attained the high mark of .419.
Brouthers was powerfully built man,
well proportioneG, and when he lean
ed against the ball Il sung like hum
mingbird. r. D. ~
Brouthers commenced his illustri-
Gus career on the diamond with the
old Try club. From here he migrated
to Buffalo, where his work created a
sensation Brouthers was. one of the
famous big Four, including "Dea,
con" White, Rowe and Hardie Rich
ardson, that went to Detroit in 1885,
winning two consecutive pennants and
laying the foundation for one of the
greatest baseball teams that ever
played ball. On this same club were
such well-known stars as Sam Thomp-
son, Bennett and Lady" Baldwin.
When the Detroit club disbanded
Brouthers shifted his operations to
Boston. He played there year. going
to Brooklyn, then to Baltimore. and
wound up his brilliant career at Phila-
delphia. He is now employed as
ticket-taker on the Polo grounds, New
York. -.l
Before the advent of Ed Delehanty
into the game, Brouthers held the
record for long-distance hitting. In
a game against Chicago he drove out
three home runs, a double and single.
Pop Hardie, the veteran ball play
er, saw this game, and says every
clout touched the extreme corner of
the ball field. Brouthern was. left
handed batter. Delehanty later on
drove out four home runs and set a
new record, but he in no wise dimmed
the great hitting feat of the hefty
first saeker Brouthers' batting aver
age for IA consecutive years, when
he hit over 800, follows:

Now that the holidays arc over, the
physical department of the Young W0

Gumed it's work with increased actiV,

be one Of unusual success.
There have been a few changes
made in the time of the meeting of the
various classes, and Miss Margaret
Christy Tupper, physical directress of
the association, has completed the re-
vision of the schedule which now
stands as follows:

These classes arc for women of all
ages and not. as has been remarked
sometimes, for the Young women of
the city only. With such variety Of

 The opinion states that it is the

Of this a goodly portion. the opinion states goes to pay for services of certain officers who are infrcquently upon the ground.
 The schedule of rates as given above does not apply to street light ing a < the present contract rate of five cents per kilowatt hour is as sumed to be fair rate Because the company earned only six per cent upon the value of it's gas plant the present gas rates will not be dis turbed. and the opinion states that the present gas plant is large enough for a city considerably larger than Phoenix.
 In connection however with the earnings of the company the commis- sion states that if economies of man agement, efficienCies and improve mcnts are instituted so that the com pany earns ten per cent of it's in vestment, the commission will not consider that as excessive The de- i cision is subject to future review of the commission.

 HOW GOLD IS BEATEN

Gold beating is one of the oldest trades in Birmingham, England. To 2 large extent this trade has gone to Germany through the competition of cheap labor, but it is asserted that the best gold leaf is still made in England. The work is done entirely by hand, and the customary sign is the picture of gilded arm bearing q hammer poised for the blow. The leaf is hammered out in small home workshops from A karat gold. but is first sent to the rolling mills, whence it is returned in long. thin ribbons IA inches wide and one thousandth part of an inch thick Then it is ready for the beater.
