NOT EASY FOR
0UTF|ELD men
Present Day Stands Make 1t Hard
to Judge Fly Balls

Pittsburgh, Aug. 20.--t'rcd Clarke,
leader of the Pittsburgh club and once
one of the greatest outfelders in the
game, who always knows the why's
and whcrefores of a baseball players
life, is there with the alibi for the
present crop of men who play in the
outer garden IT has been noticed time
and again that some of the present
Gay set judge fly balls badly and the
snap judgment boys are there with
such stuff as "bonchcad' ana the like.
But here is what Clarke says about it.
and isn't it Il fact?
The reason prcscnt-d day players do
not judge fly balls as quickly as they
used To may be attributed To the ad-
vance u! baseball" begins the Pirate
leader. 'It is because of the great
progress the game has made as "A
business and as 4 result of the huge
srandstands at all major league parks.
In the uld days of the little one story
wooden stands it was easy To see all
ny balls Knocked high into the air be-
cause the shadow caused by the stand
was not Il tail one. As soon as the
balls rose above the roofs of the grand
stands II was easy To judge them.
To-day it is different The stands
at most of the parks are huge, dark
affairs. and when they are filled with
spectators it is a mighty difficult prop
osition TO tell which is the ball and
which are the faces of the fans until
or unless the sphere rises clear above
the roof. And it takes a hardh hit ball
these days to go higher than the top
of some of the stands--for instance
that at Forbes field.
81 remember once, when | was with
Louisville, we returned from trip to
lind that the grandstand had been de-
stroycd by fire We PLAYED u couple
of games Oh the bare lot, without any
grandstand, and II is a fact thai none
of us could Judge fly balls Why? Be
cause the usual landmarks were miss q.
ing, and certain things by which W"
gagged balls i'm the past were gone

CONNIE STANDING PAT
Evidently Satisfied with Present Form
of Athletics

Connie Mack appears to bc satisfied
with the team he now has or New
York would never have had chance
io secure Fritz Maiscl the Baltimore
phcnom. for whom Manager Jack
Dunn, of the orioles. is reported 10
have secured the equivalent of $lIooo.
Mack, il is understood, controls the
baltimore club. and Dunn cannot sell
any of his PLAYERS without Set'ihS
Macks consent. If he felt that ho
could use Maiscl To advantage New
York could not have purchased him
ut any price.
Then. too, IL is likely that Mack is
far-sighted enough not to interfere
with any plans that will strengthen
the New York club, for To have WIN
rcr in the big city would mean u
large increase of revenues for every
club in the circuit.

MAY CALL OFF
YACHTING RACE
Hitch in Negotiations Over Size
of Yachts Stumbling Block

New York Aug 20.-As a result of
a hitch in the negotiations between the
present holders of the Americas cup
and Sir Thomas Upton it is considered
extremely likely that the 1914 contest
may yet be called Off
II is learned that the point of vari-
ancc is the old one regarding the size
of the defending vessel. Sir Thomas
wants the New York Watch club to say
il will select a boat of the same size
as the challenger to defend the trophy.
While the New York Yatch club has
accepted the challenge of the Royal
Ulster club. the conditions for the race
have not been agreed upon and the
prevailing opinion i'm local Watching
circles is that the challenging club will
not agree To any that do not embody
the above point.

from which this narrative has been
written. She has just been reading
these last pages with meditative brown
eyes and not without occasionally
reaching for the pen and retouching
some sentence in which, she says, SCOT
from my chimney doctoring days has
clogged the ink. Cecilia and Virgins
live at Hopefield across the fields. Miss
Octavia insisted or this. for the reason
that the sword Of Hartley's great
grandfather, found in the chest under
the old house, gives him ~inalienable
rights to the promises. Miss Octavia
and her brother Bassford are travelling
abroad and enjoying those mild adven-
lures to which they are both tempera-
mentally inclined.
My name is joined to Pepperton's on
his Office door. Pepperton proposed
this arrangement. with so many as
surances of faith in me that I could
not refuse him; but l knew we'll
enough that Miss Octavia had first put
it into his head. So while I have call
ed myself a chimney doctor in these
pages. 1 am again an architect.
You ought to say something more
about the Asolando," Hezekiah has just
murmured at my shoulder. Every
body will ask whether we ever went
back there"
"Of course we 60 back there, Heze-
kiah, every time you come to town
and can get hold OF me-"
you'd better explain that Aunt Oc-
:avia started the tea room and still
owns it and makes money out of it,
though she rarely goes there, but
sends Freda. the maid. to collect the
profits. And it won't do any harm to
say that when she met you there that
day she decided at once that you
would be a proper husband for me.
Any n who reads your book will
want to know that"
Hezekiah is always right. So here
endeth the chronicle.
THE END.
