Epilepsy Seizes Man in
Court; Judge Is Touched
and Disnlisses the Case

Recorder Ballard ColdwelPs heart
was touched in the corporation court
Wednesday afternoon when James
Walker, who was before the court for
having in his possession property
thought to have been stolen, was
stricken with an epileptic fit and fell
PROSTATE upon the floor
The climax came after recorder Cold
well had fixed the fine at $40 and had
been asked by a friend to lower the
amount, in the interest of the mans
family. The prosecuting attorney
turned to Walker and asked him if he
could serve out a ten days sentence.
He did not reply and in a moment he
was Keeling. Sinking to the floor,
Walker went into commissions which
lasted for several minutes. Restoratives
were administered and the man was
carried to the emergency hospital for
further treatment
Walker is said to be an electrician
and employed. When his wife learned
OF his arrest it is said she gave a friend
OF the family all the money she had.
amounting to $40. The friend appeared
in court and told of the circumstances.
Recorder COldwen fixed a fine at $40,
then agreed to a small sentence on the
rock pile, and finally, after the man
had tainted, dismissed the case.

Billy Evans Puzzle Plays
Written Especially For This Paper by the Famous League Umpire

was caused by the entirely different
version of section four of rule 81 now
in vogue in the two major leagues
The rule states that a base runner is
entitled to advance a base without liza
bility to be put out if a ball delivered
by the pitcher passes the catcher and
touches any fence or building within
80 feet of the home base. The Ameri-
can league adheres closely to the rule,
and considers the ball out of play the
moment it strikes the press box at the
Polo grounds, which is less than the
required distance from the home plate.
Base runners who are alert always try
to take as many bases possible on a
wild pitch. If such pitch does not
strike the stand, they have right TO
make as many bases as they can take
But once the ball strikes the stand it is
out Of play, and under the rules it is
not possible to retire the runner at any
base-that is under the American
league construction The umpire. in
stead of declaring the runner out at
third, sent him back to second, al
lowing him to advance one base as
granted by the rule.
Both Umpires Right.
In the National league, If a wild
pitch or passed ball strikes the press
stand, it entities all runners to advance
a base, and also permits them to take
more than one base if they can make
it. Thus. when a player tries to take
more than one base in a National
league game, he forfeits his right to
the base granted him by the rules and
makes himself liable to be put out.
It is unusual construction, because it
permits of a play on a ball that, under
the rules is dead or out of play. While
the two decisions were exactly oppo-
site, both umpires were right according
to the version Of the play in force in
each league.

Ritter Giant Property.

1t is true that Ritter had no written
contract with the Giants when he
signed with the BroOkfeds. The Giants
claim that bringing it down to a basis
of honest baseball" he was Giant
property by right of every principle OF
the honest baseball that Mr.. Ward
mentions. He represented a consider
able investment on the part Of the
Giants, one way and another, and there
was never a time when he did not have
McGraw's assurance of another trial
with the Giants as soon as he was sea-
soned, or when McGraw did not have
Ritter's assurance that he wanted 60
return to the Giants.
Mr. Ward makes no mention in his
letter of the case of Jim Bluejacket,
the Giants from a minor league club,
only to later jump to the Feds Both
sides claim priority Of agreement with
Bluejacket, but the case was never
tested because the Giant management
did not feel that the indian was Of suf-
ficient value to them to warrant a legal
fight
As far as that goes. nothing has
ever been said by the Giant manage
ment to indicate that it would have
made a fight for Ritter had they not
been able to take advantage Of a tech
nicality Ritter is simply a prospect.

a contract calling for the services of

The only way Mr.. Hampstead can

is 10 Durn the papers and swear that

we told you so! If you now see your

started to build EN- up.
MI ward recites in his letter the
story of his dealings with RUDE; how
RUDE Of his own vOlition made an APP
polnlnehl' signed contract and an
with the Giants had expired The boss
OF the Brookfeds then goes on to say:
rms acllon on your part is in direct

Ritter case. We are prepared to show
you the contract entered into by Mr..
Ritter with the Federal league club OF
Brooklyn, which contract antedates your
contract by several days, you knowing
full well that he had contracted with u.s."
The letter claims that the fact that
Ritter had been farmed out by the
Giants does not enter into the case, and
that: 1T is an open question whether
by securing his fathers approval TO
his cOntract-the New York National
club, or Ritters father did not condone

Our purpose" Ward concludes, ''in

Only Thing to Do.
SO, as we said all along, Richard will
be back with the Giants, for better or
for worse, and If he got any advance
money from the Wards there will be
little tab against his salary in the
Giant cash drawer
The Wards did the only thing they
could do under the circumstances
Their letter must give the impression
that they are doing a very magnani-
nous act but as a matter of fact they
had no chance to hold Marquard They
might have got him into lot of trouble
for accepting their money under what
amounts to false pretenses-if he did
accept any-but that would have done
them no particular good.
RUDE has at least served the purpose
of getting them a lot of publicity and
they ought to feel grateful to him for
that
The Ritter case, mentioned by Mr..
Ward in his letter, is that of William
Ritter, a young pitcher who was
bought, or drafted, by McGraw a year

turned over to Toronto for seasoning.
Toronto sent him to Scranton, and last
fall McGraw exercised his option on
the young man.
Meantime. the BroOkfeds got Ritter

was invalidated because Ritter was not
