BRUCE LAUGHS AWAY
ST. LOUIS SALE YARN

Cincinnati, Jan. 26.-Sccrctary John
l.. Bruce. of the National commission.
noticed with surprise today state
mcnt attributed to some Federal leag-
uer in Pittsburgh To the effect that
the St. Louis American league club
had been offered for sale for $4,000,
in order to stall off the Feds i'm the
Mound city.
How these things creep into print"
said Mr.. Bruce, lis beyond my COM
prehcnsion. Why, our real estate in
ST. Louis. on which the park is situ-
atcd. is alone worth mere than $780,
0O0. to say nothing of the franchise
and players. There has never been
the slightest thought of selling out To
any person connected with the Fed
eral league or anyone else. That
league will gain nothing by issuing
such statements"
Mr.. Bruce is "a minor stakeholder
in the st. Louis club. He said that
he would not sell ever his percentage
of the club for the sum mentioned by
the gentlemen from Pittsburgh.

New York, Jan. 26.--The Baseball
Writer'S association has been request
cd by John Hcydler, of the National
cring the so-callcd iicldcrs' choisc and
to amend the present rules in such a
manner as to define what plays shall
be scored as hits.
Heydler's request was in response
to letter received from William
Weart. secretary of the association.
to the effect that the play known as
the Cincinnati base hit" had been
disapproved by lLI writer's organiza =
ton. Weart gives Frank Baker and
Eddie Murphy, of the Athletics, credit
for having killed the Cincinnati base
hit" Tho slaughter came off in the
last worlds series. Here is his dcs-
.cription of the event:
Frank Baker and Eddie Murphy, of
the Athletics. with a little assistance
from Fred Merlile, of the Giants, kill
ed the cincinnati base hit Baker and
Murphy fooled Merkle in the final
game of the last worlds series, with
the result that FREQ, after trying To
touch out Baker on a grounder down
the first base line, tried to throw out
Murphy at the plate. Merkle's throw
To Mclean was trille too late, and
Murphy scored, while under the Gin
cinnati base hit ruling Baker received
credit for base hit.
THE scorers of New York and sew
cral from Other cities who saw that
play could not see why Baker should
get credit for a base hit on such "a
play. In consequence, when the ball
lots were sent out TO the members of

the higher I'm the heavens will appear

IL seems TO have received its name,
not like the northern consultations
from the ancients. but, like most of the
southern CONGREGATIONS from the POr-
tuguese navigators, during their ex-
plorations into the southern waters.
1t is said that when Dante came out
from Inferno" he declared that he
had seen a mighty cross set ia the
southern armament, and the naviga-
tors set about TO find such figure
and settled upon this one as best full
filling the conditions That it is diff.
cult. at first glance, to picture this as
n true cross. is not surprising for had
il been named the kite" much
closer representation could have been
imagined. The so called false cross
midway between the cross and the
bright star Campus. although com
posed of fainter stars. is much more
regular and symmetrical in shape.
Taken all in all. this constellation OF
the Southern Cross. which has been
the wonder of centuries. still holds its
place as n remarkable curiosity. even
