Rule Would Hurt.
II such a rule were adopted. there
would be no necessity for q runner to
slide into a bag and. while Il would no
doubt lessen the chances Of injury. Il
would rob the game OF much Of Its at
Effectiveness. Skill Is required a. much
as speed In running the bases and sliding
into a bag. and there il also a great
amount Of dsxterity a. well as danger in
tagging base-runners. There are more
players injured In q season through at

hurt in sliding.
through sliding into the bases when the
number OF attempts 70 steal Is taken into
consideration. Ball players have the
base-stsaling art down 70 a science to-
day. and whenever one Is injured in
stealing a base Il is usually because he
slides improperly or through his spikes
catching in the bag and twisting his
ankle. Injuries 10 the infelders, how
ever, occur in almost every game, either
accidentally or because the fielder takes
the chance OF getting hurt by trying to
block on a runner.

Very often IL Is a delder's or a base

or has his ankle sprained by collision
with a runner. Putting the ball on the
runner and blocking him from the bag

timid and miss the runner. while there
are others who are awkward and cannot

When a player is spiked IT Is usual for
the fans to roast" the runner. when
really II is the fault of the baseman. Par
ticulariy Is this so II the injured man
happens 20 be a member OF the home
team.
Intentional spiking or injuring Of play
ers Is not a part Of the game as Il Is
played today. The players themselves
are above that sort Of thing and the fans
want mono of II. All players, however.
are not too careful Of the baseman. They
appreciate their rights and expect the
baseman 10 take care Of himself. Some
times there is bad feeling between teams

Cyclone Does DAMAGE.

Concord.-Traveling with the speed
of bullet and wrecking houses like
a siege gun, cyclone of mighty
force crashed through the city injur-
ing people, oveturning houses, up
turning trees and striking terror to
the inhabitants. Starting at the
Southern end of town, it sped from
Smiths Grove to beyond st. Charles
street, covering an area about $50
feet wide and more than a mile long
through the heart of town. The cy-
clone came as suddenly as it's force
was terrific.
All during the morning rain fell
and about 2:45 it began to fall more
copiously. Suddenly there was a
mighty roaring sound, and before
many people could realize what had
happened the cyclone had come and
passed.

London.-A correspondent describes

and British cut down trees and armed
themselves with the branches. Line

ing a branch, then moved forward I'M
observed toward the enemy.
Behind them, amid the Topped tree
trunks, the artillerymen fixed them
selves and placed 13-pounders to cover
the moving wood.
The attack, which followed, won
the success it merited. It almost went
wrong, however, for the French cav
airy, which was following, made 2 de-
tour to pass the wood and dashed into
view near the ammunition reserves OF
the allies.
German shells began falling there
abouts, but British soldiers went up
the hills and pulled the boxes of am
munition out of the way of the Ger
man shells. Ammunition and men came
through unscathed. By evening the
enemy had been cleared from the
Marine district
