that rnnded Americans will begin to estimate more at their
true value the wisdom and justice of that policy of wachfu

Of President Wilson and his advisers that the
selfish interests that desired to exploit Mexico for the benefit Of
their own pockets he refused to take advantage of the weakness
Of sister republic but adhered firmly to line of action that

ADDS TANGO TO CRIME CAUSES
Judge BlameS Theft to Two Youths

New York, July 13.-In supendlng
sentence in the cases of two youths
who had pleaded guilty to attempted
grand larceny, County Judge Fawcett'

ideas. If your family had given you
good beatings, instead of money to

The boys, John Colver, 20 years old,

had been indicted for stealing money
and jewelry from Adelaide Wiston,

slid safely into third well ahead of the
throw, but the umpire called him out.
Bannon rose, blind with anger at the
adverse decision, but the umpire mere
ly pointed TO Flaherty on second base
and Bannon saw the point. He was
out for having passed a runner and
Flaherty asserted that Tommy actually
Stepped on his foot in rounding sec

There is nothing a ball player hates
worse than to be called "bonehead,"
and the regular patrons soon lea n
that. Moreover, they use it to show
their opinions of players whom they
dislike, we'll aware that they are safe
from harm because of the punishment
that would be meted out to any player
who attacked a spectator while in uni
form. Steve Evans, now a Federal
Lacquer, was mark for one of the
knockers wso used to infest the st.
Louis National league park when the
Cardinals were persistent losers. This
fan always sat in the same box and de-
voted most of his time to roasting
Evans, his choicest expressions being
wooden head" and "bonehead."
One day when Evans was waiting
his turn at bat a teammate hit a high
foul which landed in the knockers box.
The occupant saw it coming down il.
time to dodge, but had no idea where
it, as you have often seen spectators
do. Just before the ball struck him on
the head the knocker grabbed eff his
hat and let the sphere land solidly

watched the proceedings with a broad
grin and as soon as the first spell of
laughter died down little exclaimed
in voice that every one could hear.
That's the gink that has been call
ing me a bonehead."
The neighboring fans, who had been
sore at the knocker anyway, reared
and kept up a running fire of com
ments which drove the victim out o.
the stand. He never came back. Evans
had more peace after that, but the St.
Loui National league club lost a dol
lar day, for the fan knocker always
had paid for his seat, which is not
usually the case.

STEAL WITH 8 MEN
ON BASES No SIN,
SAYS NJ CRAW
PLAN WORKS SUCCESSFULLY AT
TINES WHEN WEAK BATTER Is
Up
(By L. E. Sanborn.)

When ball player, manager, or mag
nate wants to convey the impression
that anyone else connected with the
game is absolutely hopeless above the
shoulders he usually remarks, why,
that fellow would steal third with the
bases full" This is supposed to repre-
sent the concentrated essence of slow
thinking on the diamond.
1t has ben done a few times, even
in the major leagues, and the perpetra-
tors of this baseball crime" never have
been given a chance to forget it. Artie
Holman, when he was with the Cubs,
pulled this opotheosis of ivory plays
once, although the bases were not full.
He had just raped out a two-base hit
with Steinfeldt on first and had to slide
into second so hard to beat the bali
there that he did not notice the coache-
had held Steinfeldt on third. While
leading off second and brushing dirt
out of his eyes Holman saw the pitcher
taking long wind-up on the slab anil
determined not to be made to look lire
a sucker for failing to take advantage
of that chance to steal third. When he
landed he found Steinfeldt already
there, and what happened to Artie later
on the bench would have been wors ;
if the Cubs had not won the game any
way.

With Weak
Batter Up

II that situation came up with goe1
runners on the bases, two. out and some
batsman up who was an easy marg for
the pitcher then on the slab, John saws
1t would be wise move to tip one of
the runners off to steal second or third,
He argues that if the RUINED on first
started for second, it would draw a
brow either there or to first base. Then
let the runner give the opposing team
a chase and have the runner on thir.l
lead off as soon as they start throwing
the ball around. Then keep all three
runners moving if possible and there
would be all kinds of chances for a bad
throw or muff or even of beating the
ball home clearly if the runner on third
watches his chances, so as to get til =,
jump at the right time. Once the run
is scored the other team could nut ont
either of the other runners and well
come, so far as McGraw is concerned.
It's just as justifable as the ordinary
double steal he declares under tie
same circumstances. But up to date
we have not seen him try it, probably
because the situation never came W
with three brainy runners on the bases
at the right time.
In a recent tanning bee in Boston
Pat Flaherty, now a New England
league manager, told of a bone play
pulled by Tommy Bannon, the veteran
ontfelder, in which Flaherty's lack Of
speed was a factor. Flaherty was on
first when Bannon hit a long fly to
left which looked for a while as if
it might be caught 1t went over

Play by
John Anderson

John Anderson was fairly driven ont
Of Washington because he tried to steal
second once with the bases full and
was tempted into it by the same fact
that the pitcher took a long wind-up
and Anderson thought there was ne
one on second, but learned his mistake
too late, The mistake wrecked a
chance to win the game, and the fans
never forgave Anderson. Even after
he joined the White Sox, the Washinc-
ton players could get Johns goat by
kidding him about that play. These
are only couple of instances.
Recently John McGraw came to the
rescue of any players who may pull
that boner in future by declaring it is
sometimes wise move to try to steal
third or second with the bases full. He
admits it is generally considered the
climax of absurdity, but declares there
are tihes in a season when he believes
the play is justifable-so justifab.e
that he says he would not hesitate to
order man to steal with the bags all
