ANTICIPATE WARM
MEETING TUESDAY
ARE PREPARING FOR
BATTLE.

Annexationlsts anticipate one OF the
liveliest meetings in the history of
Chesterfield. county when they meet
Tuesday night in the new schoolhouse
at Swansboro to discuss the question
which Is now confronting them.
Two meetings were held last week
in Manchester district and both of
them were the scenes OF some heated
discussions. Both the annexationists
and antis are making extensive pre-
partitions for the meeting.
The annexation committee appointed
by tho Chesterfield board of supervisors
are OF the opinion that Forest Hill
annex should not be annexted to Rich
mond. On the other hand a number of
other residents OF this territory de-
clare that they should not be ignored
but be included In the lines drawn
out by the chamber OF commerce.
Commemorative Attorney Haskins
Hobson Is heading the anti forces,
while the annexation contingent 10 be-
ing led by Attorneys George r. Wise

GIVE THE BASERUNNER CREDIT
FOR CINCINNATI BASE HIT"

II somebody must be biven credit, of
some kind, in scoring the play now
famous as the Cincinnati base hit"
why not make that somebody the base
runner, says w. A. Phelton, the we'll
known Cincinnati baseball writer. . In
alm ost all cases where the Cincinnati
hit arouses debate and discussion,
the haserunner. and not the batsman.
Is the fellow who saved the situation,
and. II anybody should be rewarded
he's the ono. Take a scene like this
Man on first; as he breaks for second
the batter hits vaguely, desperately at
the pitch: the ball bounds right at
the pitcher. who wheels and throws
10 second, only to find that the fee
ing runner. by a great burst OF speed
lis already there. while the relayed
throw to first is too late to get tho
batter. That's a fair sample.
Now, then, in such instances as this
why on earth should the batsrnan be
credited with the hit for his clumsy ef-
fort. when only the agility and nerve
Of the baserunner saved a forceout,
possibly double play? II anything,
so far as Justice and equity are con-
cerned. the batter should be penalized
for a thump that might have grabbed
everything but for the qulckness Of the
bhSsrunnSr. I'he authors or The Gin
cinnati hit" maintain that you can't
tell what might have been: you can't
say, IT would have been easy to get
the batter first'---the fact remains that
the batter wasn't caught, and 30 II
must be a base hit! That argument
at least the might have been part
Is destroyed by the mere fact that the
scorer uses Ills own Judgment as to
whether many a drive Is registered
as base hit or an error---he doesn',
say TT might have heen a HIT but IT
WAS a Inland II the scorer can use
Judgment there, he can use Judgment
deciding plays Of Cincinnati baso-
hit pattern. II real Justice were to be
equally done, the scoring rule should
read like this:
IF, with men on ono or more bases,
batted ball la thrown to second,

LONDON. Jan. 3.--The Kew Gar
dens flagstaff. reputed TO be the
tallest in the old world. has had to
be taken down, owing to time and
decay having weakened 1t In many
places in Its $50 foot length. Ex-
perts will have to decide whether 1t
can be re-erected.
For over fifty years the flagstaff has
been landmark In Kew Gardens,
and on the death of reigning SOW
erelgn and the coronation of his sue
cessor It has borne a specially large
royal standard sent down by the board
Of admiralty. This year. when 1t
came to be examined by the men
who are hauled to Its gtddy height
by ropes. 1t was found to have SO
many weak places that 1t was deem
ed advisable to lower 1t to the ground,
and this has Just been done.
The spar Is remarkably fine
specimen OF a Douglas fir, and was
sent to Kew Gardens by Edward
Grey, Il timber merchant In the Ca
madam trade. in 1851. 1t came from
Vancouver Island. and was then $50
years old

impossible for throw to first to have
