KNOTTY BASEBALL PROBLEMS

used to be done so often that the rule
had to be framed to prevent it.
Fequent disputes have arisen over
a play that comes up oftener among
prairie players than in the profes
Esional games. That IS when a bats
man strikes at ball, misses It, and
ally. hits him. IL it be a third strike
that batsman is out, anyway, and nc
ether play can be made on that ball,
but if it is not a third strike, the bats.
man it. not out 1t simply counts as a
strike, and the ball is dead.
When the rule trainers first drafted
a clause forbidding the batsma1f to
hop across thesplate from one side &c
/ the other so as to confuse a pitcher,
who was in the hole, they did it SO
poorly that the impression became
general that batsman could no:
change from one side to the other at
any time during his turn at bat, but
IL he first stepped into the right hand,
ed batsman's box he must cohtin4e
there until out or on first. This was
not the intent of the rule, and its
wording has since been changed. A
batsman may change from one side
to another any time the pitcher is
not in position to pitch. If he changes
sides when the pitcher is on the slab
he can be called out.

to the office which has to do with a
play, in which two fielders go after
the same fly ball. One of them gets
under it and muffs it, but before the
: kali touches the ground the other
fielder is agile or foxy enough to
catch it. The anxious inquirers want
to know if the man who hit the ball
is out in such cases He certainly is
as section 2 of rule IS expressly
states: "If the ball be momentarily
held by fielder before touching the
ground or any object other than a
fielder" Under that section it does
not matter how many fielders touch
a fly ball before it is caught. But II
the ball touches the renee or a
screen or spectator, or an umpire,

before touching the ground.

not always. When a man interferes
with a catcher who is trying to put
him out. or is attempting to throw
out another base runner going to Sec
end or third, the batsman is out and
the runner had to go back. But If the
batsman interferes with a play that
is being made to the plate to catch u

is out instead of the batsman, pro-
vided there are less than two men out

MELlEK FAV0RS RAILROAD
MONOPOLY He DECLARES

Washington, May 21.- Former Pres
ident Mellen of the New Haven rail-

today he favored railroad monopoly
controlled and regulated by the gov

beneficial TO the public.
Asked why he favored the consolida-

ven, he said: because il would re-
suit in better service, lower rates and
greater satisfaction To the public. i
believe the public is better served 10y
n monopoly than in any other way but

be controlled by the government"

would YOU have gone in this dream of
consolidation" he was asked.

JAS. 7. FISHER
BOOSTERS OPEN
HIS CAMPAIGN
Enthusiasm Marks Big Rally Held
in the Calumet Armory

The campaign of James T. Fisher,
candidate for the Republican nominal
tion for congressman opened auspi-
ciously at the armory last evening
when crowd which filled the spa
cious hall, formally endorsed the can
didacy Of the Laurium man. BY spe-
cial street cars and automobiles, the
voters came from Keweenaw, Portage
and Torch Lake and the gathering was
representative Of a large part of the
territory which is embraced in the thir-
ty-second senatorial district Not only
were Republicans present, but Demo-
Gratis and Progressives placed their
stamp Of approval upon the candidate.
The greatest enthusiasm was shown
throughout the meeting and the au-
dience manifested deep interest in the
assertions of each speake.
The Hancock and Houghton delega-
tion arrived shortly after o'clock and
this was followed by several special
cars bearing the Lake Linden and Hub
bell crowd At the head of the pro-
cession was the Hubbell band which
led the march TO the armory Mean
while, miners and surface employees of
the c. & II. Mining company formed
a procession and this was followed by
one of Red Jacket voters. At the
head of each division were banners
bearing the inscription. "You and I
Together; James r. Fisher for Con-
gress."
NJ. NJ. Morrison, the chairman of the
meeting, introduced Mr.. Fisher. Ap-
plause and cheers greeted the candi-
date as he stepped to the platform and
his brief but trite remarks were re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheering. He
opened his address with the statement
that he would make no political prom
ises; that he desired to come before
the people as man whose object is to
do what is right and do that faithful
ly, i'm a manner that would merit the
confidence Of the voters; and if elect
ed, to represent the district as it de-
sired TO be represented.
An assertion of his desire to conduct
thoroughly clean campaign elected
prolonged applause as did the remark,
that he always would be plain Jim

Other speakers were T. j. Hennes
of Lake Linden; Senator Charles Smith
of Hubbell; Norman Macauley of Cal

PRIMARY CAMPAIGN BEGINS.
Minnesota's Fight for State Officers to
Be Warm One

st. Paul Mimi, May 21.-Although
Minnesota does not elect "a United
States senator this year, it is well un-
derstood that the results of the COM
ing primary and election will have an
important bearing on the senatorial
campaign that is To come i'm 1916, when
a successor will be chosen to Sena-
tor Moses f.. Clapp. In the primaries
next month candidates will be named
by the several parties for all state Of
fees, including the governorship. Gov
renor Adolph q. Eberhart is seeking
nomination for a third term on the
Republican ticket. The anti Eberhart
Republicans have agreed upon William
+. Lee of Long Prairie. as the oppos-
ing candidate. a third candidate who
aspircs to head the Republican ticket
is Elwood l.. Raab. of Duluth. but il
is generally believed that the contest
lies between Eberhart and Lee IL is
generally understood i'm political cir
cles that Governor Eberhart aims for
the senate, and is running for third
term for governor with the main idea
of keeping in line for the senatorship.
Should he succeed in his present plans
he undoubtedly would become an i'm
portant factor in the senatorial situa-
ton two years hence. on the other
hand. his defeat in the primary next
month or at the election in November
would put him out of the running for
the senatorship.
