WHAT THE FLIGHT
MEANS.

1t is a bit difficult to realize just
what it will mean for two men in a
/ hydroaeroplane to start from st.
Johns, Newfoundland, on a thirty
hour flight to the Azores. Look at
the map, and it is simple enough
The Azores can be reached, at very
moderate flying speed, in about
thirty hours. The America can carry
rlenty of gasolene to keep going
that long. So, if nothing breaks and
the weather is favorable, the trip
|should succeed.
But here's another detail. How
will the aviatcrs fnd the Azores?
! ney constitute an obvious enough
detail on the map of the Atlantic;
but, in fact, they are a mighty little
one when a man is flying over the
OCEAN. The best possible compasses
will be carried; but whether obser-
vations can be taken accurately
enough to lay a course more accu-
rate than that by dead reckoning, IS
G0ubted. 1t will be like poking a
gun out of a window and pointing
J. in the general direction Of house
tree miles away, but invisible, and
hoping that maybe you'll have the
lIck to hit it!
It would be peculiarly a pathetic
outcome if Porte and Hallett should
Use up their gasolene making an
entirely successful fight, put should
iail to hit the mark, and in the end
Rave to volplane down into an I'M
Known sea, with only the grim sat-
lsfaction that they had flown far
enough to have found the goal, but
lad missed the mark.

TOO MUCH PITCHER7

Quite a number of useful sugges-
tons, and a good many more of use
..ss ones, have oeen contributed to
the discussion about lettering the
raseball game. The sport is a bit
\ the doldrums this year. Maybe
rs because of the rules, or the fact
hat pitching has overreachcd bat
ing; maybe it's merely because of
The Federals and the dubiety of the
J eserve clause in the contracts. Any
row, folks aren't going so numerous
~, and that has caused conversation
bout the possibility of improving
I no game.
The esteemed New York Sun
kinks there is too much pitcher, and
've agree. But the pitcher has won
MS supremacy oy his own efforts.
lie used TO be allowed seven "haIls,"
hen six, then FIVE; now only four.
The foul tip used to count nothing;
D ow it's a strike. The pitcher, in
hort, has been tied down closer and

The master of the game than ever.
Do people want to see scores
made. and the excitement of base
running, or do they merely go to
see pitchers match skill. and to see

TO see strike-outs. The biggest

the better minors is in baserunning.
The big fellows take chances all the
time; take them effectively and with
a studied appearance of recklessness
that is really the science CT the
game. Now, in a game in which not
over a dozen men get to first base
there isn't much chance for the Cobbs
and Milans to show what they can
do on the bases. The audience
misses that part of its entertain
ment, and it isn't entitled to miss it.
In one of the lesser leagues they
are Using, this season, a ball with
solid rubber core, instead of the
cork core of the standard league ball.
Eating averages in that league have
gone up a number of points; the
number of runs per game is larger;
l'aserunning is become a greater
feature of the game than ever be-
fore, and the patrons are said to
like it very much.
Perhaps the more lively ball would
not meet the requirements of the
Gig leagues. 1t would give a ire
mendous and perhaps impossible ad-
vantage to hard-hitting teams like
the Maclmen. But in sorne way
or other the pitcher needs to be sup
pressed just little bit. He's quite
too big a part in the game. Moving
him back a pace might do it. To
cut the number of balls to three
would increase the prospect Of the
batter getting to first base, but it
would reduce the chance of his get
ting, there by batting; therefore. it.
would be a doubtful improvement.
Still, it would give bigger chance
for baserunning. and maybe, on the
whole, would be the best practi-
cable solution

CROKER COMING BACK

There comes from New York q
revival of the ever-interesting but
no longer very convincing story that
Richard Croker is coming home from
his Irish exile and will fight Muir
phys leadership of Tammany. The
tale has been dragged forth every
time a bit of hard luck befeli Tam
many under the Murphy manage
nent. In fact, Croker las actually
come back on two occasions, each
of which was heralded as the be-
ginning of the end OF the Murphy
regime. Whether the cx-chief really
intended to fight or not, he refrainei
on each occasion from trying con-
illusions with Murphy.
Now it is alleged that Croker has
lot of ''the goods" OIL Murphy, and
is going after him, hammer and
tongs. Perhaps there is enough Of
disgust among the hungry and way
worn Tammany rank and file to pro-
vide Croker with an assaulting force
for a successful attack on the cita-
del of the Hall. That will remain to
be seen, if Croker really intends 20
come back and make trouble, which
will continue to be doubted until
he really starts the fireworks.
The really most interesting thing
about the stories of Cookers con-
templated return is the assumption
that the old boss would come back
to reform" things and get the Hall
in line with public sentiment. A
political organization so fsr out of
tune with the times that Croker
could improve its orchcstration is
certainly in bad way. 1t is hard
to believe even Murphy has succeed
ed in handling Tammany so badly
as that would indicate.

IF DIRECTORS DIRECTED.

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission expresses the opinion that
the New York stockholders have
a good case, under the laws of some
of the New England States, on which
to recover from the responsible direc-
tors part of the losses Of that
corporation through reckless and in
some cases criminal transactions.
At the same time, eminent counsel
who have been looking into the mat
ter have reported that there is ex-
cellcnt prospect of recovering a very
large sum-placed as high as S94,-
NOC, 000-under the laws of the
States. The list of men who have
served as directors of this corpora
ton under the Mellen regime looks
like selected list of the very elite
of big finance. The names of these
s:len inspired the confidence that
made it possible to keep New Haven
shares strong among investors, even
in the face of criticism and attacks
that are now known to have been
thoroughly justified. They arc emf
nently solvent. They have admitted,
or a number of them have, that
they were only nominal directors;
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Mellen ran the
property.
Why do men assume directorships
and then fail to direc. DO they do it
because it gives them a prestige and
Importance before the business COM
nunity that serves them veil in
ether directions? Does it help their
credit, enlarge their earning powers,
strengthen their capacity to handle
big affairs? There rust be some
such reasons, else busy men would
not become directors.
If there are such reasons, they
shoGld carry with them a CORES
ponding responsibility. If directors
should once be adjudged strictly re-
sponsible for the acts IF the corpora
ton they managed, and for the gen.
eral character of its management,
there would be al END to dummy
directors. Men of fortune would not
dare to risk their wealth in order
TO lend their names to corporate

The eyes of military America are

Point, to which a new "plebe" class
was admitted several days ago. This

made the basis of an experiment
which has aroused the keen interest
of army men and of university and
secondary school faculties through
out the country. In .he entering

cadets who have gained admission
by virtue of their high school diplo-
mas or their collegiate training. They
have not been required to undergo
the stringent West Point examina-
tions which have "f1oored" scores Of
ether candidates.
For years the exacting entrance
requirements have called forth loud
protest because comparatively few
could pass. This year Secretary OF
War Garrison sent forth word that
high school graduates and collegians
whose work met West Points en-

1T WOULD HELP sonnet

Club owners in one of the import
| ant minor baseball leagues have
taken measures to speed up the ball
games. Umpires have been instruct
|ed that part of their business will
be to prod managers, field captains,
ard players into keeping something
doing every second. The "pep" is In
de mand just a little bit more than
else; and the ampircs have
found that a good deal can be &C
|complished by staying right by the
effort for shorter games.
A game lasting two hours is now
quite the exception, according to re-
ports; the public likes the sport
letter, and the players are kept
moving and in better spirits for the
game.
Some of that speeding up Of the
game would help in the big leagues
quite as well as in the minors.
