HARD ON INDIANS.
Must Build Fireproof Plant to Replace
MizZOu Park.

Sioux City. Ia, July 29.-In the wake
of the $4,000 fire which started in the
Mizzou baseball park grandstand and
swept the river front Sunday night,
the city councilmen took the position
that any improvements made on the
sites must be made permanent and of
fire proof construction.
The river front was placed inside
the city fire limits by an ordinance
passed several weeks ago.
The attitude of the city council in
the movement to make conditions less
hazardous will force the mana agement
of the Sioux City baseball team to
spend thousands of dollars on the per-
manent baseball plant.

Gary Hermann Says Chivington's Idea
Is All Wrong.

Cincinnati, July 29.-Chairman August
Hermann. of the National Baseball
commission, in discussing the ''unwrit-
ten law of calling a player out who
slides into first base, which was up
held by President Thomas Chivingto ton,
of the American association, said it
was not only preposterous but directly
contrary to the rule covering the point
"A player is allowed to reach any
base by running, walking, jumping or
in any other manner, as long as he re-
mains within the lines prescribe J, -
said Mr.. Hermann. This is laid .lown
in the rules of the game, and no U1n-

Lincoln Star: This is not a J. ock on
the scorer in any one city, becV Sc we
believe that every tabulator on tho circuit
is guilty, but if Prexy O'Neill could de-
wise some scheme wherein the visiting
players would get even break with the
home team on the record cards he would
make a name for himself which would
live forever in the annals of league ball.
Why not have four independent scorers
and not so many umpires? Have the
scorers move from town to town we'll
as the arbitratorS, SO that all chances for
partiality could be eliminated. The eX-
cuse the scorer always makes when he
gives the home players the best end OF
!, the shake is that they get the worst of
it in other cities, which is all very true.
No matter what is said 10 the contrary,
the minor league records go long ways
toward deciding the fate of the majority
of the players who are being looked over
by the ma ajorS, and a scheme to give them
all an even break would be a boon to
both the major and minor league mag
mates and well worth the additional eX-
pense.

Should Rourke jump the league, and the

no difficulty in selling the franchise.
