Suggests Humorous Ques-
tions

To insure successful baseball sea-
son, under the new ideas about the
legal angles Of the game, it will evil
IDENTIFY be necessary to hold joint
meeting of the larger leagues, and to
agree upon a code whereby magnates,
players and patrons shall alike receive
the protection of the law. Clauses such
as these will have to be accepted by
all concerned or the game will go ka-
smash, as sure as sunrise.
Batsmen with two strikes called
shall not be permitted to ask for an
injunction.
Pinch hitters and relief pitchers
must be provided with the documen-
tary proof that they are not under
injunction or fugitives from justice.
Local laws or city ordinances con-
corning the caging or claiming OF
dangerous animals shall not be en-
forced against lefthanded pitchers.
Peanut butchers may be enjoined,
arrested or excused at any time after
the first inning.
No club shall be permitted to carry
more than 81 players or Is lawyers.
Any lawyer who takes the place of
a player must serve in capacity of
player only. He may not serve a
writ upon the ball, and if he shall
stop or attempt to stop the ball by
heaving law book at it the batsman
shall be given six bases.
No judge shall be permitted to of
ficiate as umpire. Inasmuch as it
takes a Judge 20 days in which to
render a decision, the time occupied
in playing nine innings might fatigue
the crowd. -.-..-.

In accordance with the notice the
meeting of the contract holders of the
Two Buttes segregation was held at
Two Buttes on Saturday, the 18th, for
the purpose of deciding whether the
irrigation system should be taken over
and operated by the farmers, pursu-
ant to clause of the water contract.
The meeting convened at 2 o'clock,
and Mr.. A. E. Padden was elected
chairman and N. G. Jones secretary.
Fred L. Harris, general manager of
the Two Buttes Irrigation & Reser-
voir company, explained the purport
of clause 8 of the water contract and
outlined the method by which the
transfer should be made. There was
very general discussion of the pro-
posal, which lasted for several hours,
but it was evident that there were not
enough votes in person and by proxy
representation to decide the question.
Owing to the difficulty of travel many
who intended to be present were un-

able to come. Therefore, no vote was
taken on the proposal Of the com
pany, and the meeting adjourned I'M
til April 16, 1915, at o'clock p. m.
Before adjournment the meeting pass
ed the following resolution:
Resolved, by the water users of
the Two Buttes Irrigation & Reser-
voir company that it is the sense of
this meeting that no delinquent nom
resident contract holder be permitted
to vote on the question of he transfer
Of the irrigation system from the
company to the settler, at this or any
adjourned meeting thereof"
1t is to be hoped that the adjourn
ment will enable a great many more
persons to be present, and that the
question may be brought to a decis-
i've vote.-Two Buttes Sentinel.
