FIRST IMPRESSION
 OF PHOENIX GOOD
Made So By the Rising Acke
 Building

The walls of the six-story rein forced concrete building at the cor Ter of Jefferson and Center streets is a monument to twenty-three years of hard work by Salim Ackel, of Phoenix, who arrived here with $35. His accumulations amount to about s200,000 and he has hardly vet arrived at middle age. MT Ackel might have done as well in another town but it is not likely. His in dustry here has been supplemented by the rapidly growing values of property.
 He naturally feels a greater pride in his new building than in any of the rest of his possessions because it is rather more visible; at any rate it can be seen from a greater distance It attracts the eye of the visitor the instant he alights from q train and in it's present unfinished state, it gives a good idea of the permanent character of construction that the modern builders of Phoenix have adopted
 It takes lot of material for that kind of q building. much more than one who never has made the ex pertinent imagines. Mir. Ackel al ready has purchased through the Arizona Hardware company and Goldman X Co 190 tons of steel for it and through the Valley Lumber company. $500 bags of cement.

 The local management endeavored to have the Bispham party stop over a day or so around the date set for the concert here, and take in the Roose- welt dam, but an engagement in St. Louis on the 30th prevented such ar rangement, and the artist expressed his disappointment in not being able to make the trip.
 No greater campaign for American art has been launched than during the past year. The movement for grand opera in English is the pet hobby of Bispham. He believes that when opera is sung it should be understood, and not require an audience to know half dozen languages and follow the syn opsis reading of programs in order to endure opera "a la mulligan' Bisp- hams arguments are convincing, and the way he illustrates his assertions leaves no doubt in the minds of his auditors. with the possible exception of the stand-patters "who don't want to know different no how

The officers of the new firm are John Dobson. president; Andrew Jep son. vice president E. w. Monroe, general manager, $. M. Turner, secre- tary and treasurer.

FOSTER OBTAINS TWO
YEAR PACT FROM GRIFF
Cable Used to Notify Schaefer That
He Is Wanted by Club the
Coming Season.
BY J. ED GR1L1o.

Jack Bentley, the youngest of Grifflth's
pitchers, sent in his signed contract yes
| terday, making the ninth member of the
team to get into the fold. Bentley, who
is left-hander. has. In the opinion of
Grimth and Coach Ryan, the making of
a splendid twirler. He showed to good
| advantage In the few games he pitched
last season and great improvement in his
work Is looked for next spring.
Refusing to take any chances that the
Federal League might be willing to guar
antee Eddie Foster three years salary,
Manager Griffith got busy late yesterday
afternoon and came to terms with his
star third baseman. It Is needless to say
that Foster had to be satisfied and he
not only received an increase in salary,
but he secured a two-year contract Fos-
ter and Griffith conferred for an hour.
Foster was pleased that he was able to
make arrangements to remain with the
Nationals. He likes it here and he admits
that he would rather play for Griffith
than for any one else That he would
have joined the Federals had they given
him a contract of the Tinker kind and
guaranteed him his money he does not
deny. but he says that he Is well salts
fed to remain with the Nationals.
The so-called Cincinnati base hit, Ia
thing Of the past. The Base Ball Writ

Gus other changes were made in the
rules, none Of which, however, material
~ affect the game.
Herman schaefer will. in all probable
ity, be the only major league ball player
who will get notice of his contract for
next season by cable. Manager Griffith
this morning sent a cablegram to Schaef-
er at Colombo, Ceylon. where the tour
lists will make their next stop, asking
him to acknowledge receipt Of terms.
Schaefer will not receive this notice until
January %, the day the tourists will ar
rive at Colombo. The rules of base ball
compel a club to submit contracts to it's
players before February /. In the event
| this Is not done the player becomes a
free agent. Griffith does not want to take
any chances of losing Schaefer on a tech
nicality. 80 has resorted to the cable to
make sure of holding him.
Major league managers have become
busy lining up their players. Several Of
them are on the road visiting players at
their homes and inducing them to sign.
Evers has lined up twenty of his players
already and does not expect to lose q

WRITER'S VOTE DOWN
CINCINNATI BASE HIT
Scribes Come Out Flat Footed Against
Ruling Which Favored
Batsman.

PHILADELPHIA. January 1.-THE
Cincinnati base hit which aroused
such ire among most of the base ball
! writer's in the big leagues last summer
has been voted out of existence by mem
bers of the Base Ball Writer'S Associa-
ton Of America. At a recent meeting
of the rules committee of the B. B. W.
A. A. quite few changes were proposed
in the scoring rules. and these were sent
broadcast to every sporting writer in the
cities housing big league club.
Practically every change met with
| unanimous approval but the Cincinnati
base hit This ruling, which last year
was to give batsman credit for hit
| when play was made to get a base
runner going to base, but which was
too late, was the bone OF contention. On
the vote polled 80 members voted against
continuing the rule, while % were in ia
vor of it. Most Of the opposition to the
ruling came from Chicago and New
York Philadelphia writers were divid-
ed on the Question, We're the Hub
scribes, while in other cities In the west
the Cincinnati. was In favor. Jack
Ryder OF the Cincinnati Enquirer, ia
thered the rule, but now that the base
ball scribes have come out flat-footed
against 1t the pitchers viii benefit and
the batsmen Suner.
Stolen Base Ruling Discussed.
There was quite "a difference of opin-
ion ON the stolen-base ruling. 1t was
suggested this year that base runner
should be given credit for a stolen base
as soon as he made a start to steal
base prior to battery error Last year
II q man started to steal and a battery
error was committed on the same play
the error was charged up. but no stolen
base. This year the rule committee sug
gested giving credit to the base runner
and also crediting the battery error to
sition to this, but not enough to change
the new ruling.
Hereafter batsman will get the credit
for sacrifice, no matter whether the
fielder catches or drops the bali as long
as the base runner scores. OF course, If
the fielder drops the ball he will get
credit for an error. but the m scue will
not rob the batsman of a sacrifice hit
providing. of course, the base runner
scores on the play.
Another new change is that only one
assist will be given any player who as
sists in running down q man between
| the bases, no matter how often he han
dies the ball.
An error shall also be charged to a
player who prolongs the life Of a base
| runner. An instance: With Cobb aught
fairly off first on snap throw by Ben
| der to McInnis, Stuffy in his eagerness
| to tag Ty drops the ball. This prolongs
Cobb's life, SO therefore McInnis g,ts
credit for an error. Last year no error
was given on such play.
