Hickey Can't See Pennant

BRANCH RICKEY threatens to out
 leap the leaps of Hugh Jennings with his Tigers in 1907 and Clark Grif- filth with his Nationals ip 1912. Jen- nings took a team that had finished sixth in 1906 and won a pennant with it the year. following. In 1912 Griff. with the addition of five first year men, finished second, after the team had finished seventh the year before.
 Many baseball fans marveled that Griff should be able to unearth five youngsters and mold a pennant con- tender in one season. Hickey is turn ing the trick with only three new men
 Hickey had the Browns in third place, a few games behind the worlds champion Athletics. with the same team, barring three positions. that fin ished bad last under George Stovall in 1913 These new men are Clarence Walker, Jack Leary and Clyde Wares.
 Hickey refuses to listen to any pen nant talk for his team. When friends congratulate him and inform him that the Browns are brushing elbows with the worlds champions his usual come back is. "How many games are we out of last placer"
 Hickey said before the season opened that he would be pleased to finish any where above eighth place. The Browns landed last a year ago and any posi- tion above that would be looked upon as a successful campaign by the new manager.

PHILLIPS LET TWO STARS GO

pHILADELPHIA demands a probe
 why George Burns, who lives a few blocks from the two ball parks, and Marty Kavanaugh. who played within a short train ride of Philadelphia last year, were permitted to get to the De- troit club.
 An investigation revealed the fact that the Phillies could have had Burns without paying a nickel not very long ago. Burns, who was eager for a trial and had been turned down by Marty Hogan, then manager of the Lancaster team. reported to Manager Dooin of the Phillies.
 Dooin told him to get a uniform and work out with the other players in the morning. Burns did this for several mornings, but finding that Manager Dooin did not watch morning practice and that none of the players took any interest in him, he became irritated and kept away. -sss@E-

 Marty played right under the noses of the Philadelphia clubs all last sea- son. The York team was scarcely able to mask the feats of this peppery 1i1- venile. who led the Tri-state with a batting average of .357, yet for some reason he escaped the eyes of the Phil 1y scouts.

down to where it seems well nigh inn possible to touch them.
 Friends of the great runner admit that he throws form" to the winds when he is running. It is good track form to spin off the last quarter of a mile at a gait which leaves something for a sprint at the finish. Jones has burnt up the track on the first quar- ter at pace which completely outdis tanced all rivals and at a rate of speed which would have done credit to an entrant in a 440 yard run. yet he always had something to rely upon in case of 8 close dnish.

ture Of any game in which the Orioles participated
 Clyde Milan of Washington, ny Cobb of Detroit and Eddie Collins of the Athletics, are the star base stea1ers of the American league. while Carey of Pittsburgh and Bescher of New York are the National league leaders to be cIassed in the same category with the American league trio.
 In. 1910 Collins set the American league record for stolen bases at 81, Cobb raised it to s3 in 1911 and Milan placed it at ss8 in 1912. During the lat ter year Bescher, then with Cincinnati, Pirates pilfered 61. Myers of Boston was second with 57 and Lobert of the PhiI1ies third with Al.
 McGraw, Jennings, Mack and others of the old school are strong advocates of base running as a necessary adjunct to a, winning team. McGraw insists upon speed on the bases and devotes more attention to this department of the game than any other. In 1912, when McGraw5 had Merk1e, Herzog, Doyle, Shafer, Fletcher, Murray and Devore, all star base runners, on his team, the Giants stole a total of 319 ba aseS. &
 There is nothing more Interesting to the fans or more spectacular in a game than speedy work on the base paths. The fans expect it of a winning team and look for it whenever either of the oppos teams has players who are credited with being slzillful on the bases.

every lover of the game who reeogniBs es the amount of skill it requires fO make the play. Often a base is stolen by a runner despite the fact that the ball beats him to the bag and che base man is waiting to tag him. To 'hooE the bag" fall away, from the baseman or slide around him calls for skill. and many players in the major leagues are wonderfully clever at it.
 It is not all speed that counts in base stealing. although Milan Cobb, Collins, Carey, Bescher, LobeFt and other leading base Etealers are fast men. George Moriarity of Detroit however. is not a particularly fast man. yet he is clever base runner and has stolen home probably more than any other man in either league. Ty Cobb is considered the hashiest and most daring base runner in the game today.
 He takes desperate chances and his man with the ball aid him in his piI- fering.
 More than once Cobb has electrified the crowd by dashing- for second, third and home when there did not seem to be a chance of reaching the bag safely. but landing through his skill in dodg- ing the baseman or slipping his toe on l the bag by a clever thoolL" Cobb ruua the bases and steals bases as graceful ly as he does everything else. He hooks the bag with his toe or falis away from the man with the ball in Q manner which gives the baseman the least possible chance to tag him.

 ~ tag a runner sliding or run
 ming into a base, in order to make put out, has been sug- gested as a means of eliminating the accidents which take some of the star ball players out of the game every sea- son. This is only one of the many baseball reforms offered every year, however. and it is not likely to meet with favor. The plan is not feasible, and it would rob baseball of many of : it's most picturesque features.
 Tagging or putting the ball on a runner" is really one of the fine points of baseball, and to eliminate it would virtually kill base stealing, which is an art in itself. The rules at present pro vide that7it is unnecessary to tag a runner when he is forced, or kn making an out at first, and the plan suggested isto have all plays made in the same manner.
 If such a rule were adopted there would be no necessity for a runner to slide into a bag.sand, while it would no doubt lessen the chances of injury it would rob the game of much of it's att tractiveness. Skill is required as much as speed in running the bases and slid ing into bag, and there is also great amount of dexterity as well as danger in tagging base runners. There are more players injured in a season through attempting to block a base Funnersor getI1ng 1he1r legs or arms in the way of a runners spikes than there are players hurt in sliding.
 Comparatively few players are in fjured through sliding into the bases when the number of attempts to steal is taken into consideration. Ball play CTS have the base stealing art down to a science today, and whenever one is injured in stealing a base it is usually because he slides improperly or through his spikes catching in the bag and twisting his ankle.

MILWAUKEE, May 27.-Charlie White, the 23-year-old Chicago kid, outpointed Willie Ritchie, the light weight champion of the world, here last night. The fight was for ten rounds and White outpointed Ritchie in six out of the ten rounds, but did not get in knockout blow, in con- sequence of which the championship remains with Ritchie.
 Bleeding profusely, with one eye closed and almost exhausted, Ritchie, who put it all over Tommy Murphy, recently, at San San Francisco, was led from the ring last night at the end of the mill. His seconds claim he was not in good condition and that White can have return match if he can get the backing.
 The intense heat kept the crowds down and only fair-sized bunch of sports watched the fight. Few antici- pated that White would best the champion.

ROUSTABOUTS
 START BAD FIRE Two Million Dollar Blaze Results From Careless Act of Circus Hands;
 Many Watch Big Fire.

CLEVELAND, O., May 27.-Roust- abouts working for Ringing Bros. circus, which is showing here today, caused fire in the lumber district, near where the circus has pitched it's tents, and as a result damage amount ing to $1,250.00O has been done to that section, besides the loss of three spans of the two million dollar via duct collapsed during the fire.
 The flames started while the big tents of the circus were filled with 10000 people, who immediately rush ed from the tents to witness the blaze, which lasted for 12 hours and was the most spectacular fire ever seen in this city. The intense heat would send great sparks of burning lum- Der high into the air and nothing could stay the conflagration, which swept from lumber pile to lumber pile and from structure to structure and was only stayed by the river.
 Every fire apparatus from this city and the surrounding country was playing on the flames.
 The burned district is an eighth of a mile long and about as wide.

WOULD RECALL .. JUDGE LINDSEY
Because He Favored the Cause of the Strikers in the Colorado Coal
 Mines.

DENVER, May 27.-Because Judge Ben Lindsey favors the strikers in the coal fields of Colorado and made a special trip to Washington, D. C., to urge President Wilson and the off cials of the administration to force the coal operators to arbitrate the differences between the workers and the capitalists the people of this city have started a recall against the juvenile judge and have secured many signatures. The recall will be pressed by the opponents of Judge Lindsey, who see in the present diff culty a chance to humiliate him. He has been fighting the forces of the underworld for the past ten years and is hated by all the vicious element.
 The sentiment here is strongly against the strikers and the determ- ination to prevent the 1,500 lawless foreigners from dictating to the state authorities and to destroy the prop erty of the coal operators at will, forced the last legislature, just ad- journed, to provide $1,000,00O for the national guard, who are to take full charge of the strike zone when the federal troops are withdrawn.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The committee of the American Presbyterian assem- bly,, now holding it's 126th annual con- vention in this city. recommended to the convention yesterday that min imum wage be paid preachers of $1,- 900, as the salary now paid to those preaching the gospel is entirely inad- equate to the proper support of the clergymen, who are receiving the same compensation today as they did 30 years ago, while the cost of living has more than doubled and tripled.
 A radical reorganization of the home missionary board of the Pres byterian general assembly was the chief discussion among the 800 odd delegates who are in Chicago.

The claim has been made, Williamson states. that the home missionary board has become so centralized. and so. unconstitutionalized that the churches and home mission field has had no voice in the policies of the church. It is to correct this condi- tion that the progressive element in the assembly wishes to overhaul that body, he claimed.

Health Broken By lmprisonment- Says Huerta Not to Blame
 Accused General Maas.

VERA CRUZ, May 27.-John R. Silliman, former vice-consul for the United States at Saltillo. reached this city today from Mexico City phy- sical wreck from his long imprison- ment in the unsanitary prisons at Saltillo, where he was held at the instance of Gen. Joaquin Maas. the federal commander in Central Mex leo.
 Silliman, in a statement issued to- day, said that he did not blame Pres ident Huerta for his Imprisonment, but that the entire responsibility rested with Gen. Maas.
 He denied the charge made that he had sent secret information to the rebels operating against Saltillo and that the American State department had issued orders to the consuls to go as far as they wished to aid the constitutionalists.
 Silliman will leave here immedi- ately for the states to recuperate his health. His release was made by the Brazilian minister at Mexico City, who urged President Huerta to or der him brought to the capital and turned over to him for safe keeping.
