Brainy Play by Sheckard.


Jimmy Sheckard, who was one Of the
brainiest players in baseball, doped out
a play which resulted in q triple play
being made in st. Louis and winning q
game for US. When runners were on
frst and second with only one or none
out and a short fly was hit toward left
field that Tinker could get by backing
up, Sheckard insisted upon being per-
mitted to take the ball. Instead of
catching it, he would trap it and then
throw il TO me for force-out at Sec
cnd. and would relay it to first, killing
off the batter for double play. Time
and again we worked this play, and
many thought il was just lucky break
for us. In ST. Louis this condition
came up in a game, and when Sheckard
threw the ball TO me | touched the man
who was on second and had held his
base. By stepping on second the run
ner who was on first was forced, and by
throwing the ball to Chance the batter
was retired, completing triple play.
Every fan is probably interested in
the system of signalling that the Cubs
used 1t was generally supposed at
that time, and still is TO great extent,
that every move the players made was
in accord with given signal. We did
have a very complete set OF signals,
but not so many as many other clubs
in the big leagues, for the sufficient
reason that we did not need them.
Every man on the team was a student
Of baseball as well as player. He
knew what TO do and when to do It..
Therefore the need of signals was re-
duced almost 70 nil.
We studied batters' weaknesses,
however, and our pitchers were capable
enough to feed them what they could
not hit. When left field hitter came
TO bat | used to signal to the outheld,
and the three outtielders would shift
their position, moving toward left
field, and so on.
The little need OF signals is shown
when it is understood that Tinker and
myself played through one entire sea-
son without once giving each other
a signal even as TO who would take the
throw at second. We understood each
others movements so we'll and knew
opposing players so well that we did
not need signals. With some clubs, Of
course, il is absolutely necessary to
have very complete signals. This is be-
cause the players are not as quick 70
grasp situations and evolve plays as
they should be.
1t was in this way that We planned
the play that was made at the Polo
Grounds in New York on September %.
lgOs-the famous Merkle play, that
virtually cost the Giants the pennant
and gave US a chance to play off the
tie for the championship on October 8
of that year. which we won.
II had been the custom for runners
when on first, with another runner on
third and only one run needed TO win
The game. TO run straight 20 the club
house whenever the batter made q hit
without touching second. This was
violation Of the playing rules, and !
decided TO pull il in . game

According to reports Ollie Keller,
captain of the Cornell track team of
1915, is lost to Cornell. Last fall a
motorcycle which he was riding became
unmsnageabls and Keller was found UNI
conscious beside his broken machine.
He had run into a tree. After being
laid up for about month the Cornell
sprinter tried little work, but found
it too difficult. Now, after a four
months rest, he finds himself COM
PEELED to give up running entirely.
Jack Moakley will feel his loss in the
intercollegiate, as Keller was counted

collected through the customs houses.
In the year 1915 revenues from all
sources amounted to 624 millions, of
which 209 millions, or a little over
one-third, came from import duties.
The senator did not enlighten his
hearers as to the total valuation of
imports during the year 1912 nor dur
ing the year 1915. Perhaps if they
had had brought to their notice the
vast falling off of imports in the year
1915 as compared with the year 1912,
his figures would have lost some of
their impressiveness. In his figures
for 1915, he "emoans the fact that
there were collected Al millions of
personal income tax and SO millions of
corporation income tax.
This so millions together with the
2O9 millions import duties and 335
millions of internal revenue gave the
624 millions total He pointed out
that the Republican party stands
committed to indirect taxation and is
unalterably opposed to the direct
method. He showed that the 80 mil
lions of corporation income tax was
passed on to the ultimate consumer.
Does he imagine that there is one
among his hearers so stupid as to be-
HeVe that one cent of the 312 millions
OF import duties collected in 1912 or
of the 200 millions of import duties
collected in 1915 was not passed on to
the ultimate consumer?
HE next waxed eloquent over the
war tax, which he denominated a
system of souvenirs of the present adj
ministration.
He acclaimed the payment of one
cent extra for a telegram; or two cents
extra for a promissory note. He did
not explain though that this kind of a
burden was laid upon the class best
able to stand it and he did not explain,
either, that in the case of the import
duties on necessities the poor man is
called on to pay as much tax absolute
ly as the rich man instead of paying
in proportion to his ability. He did
not tell us that poor man consumes
just as much sugar as a rich man and
therefore contributes just as much of
the tax on sugar as the rich one.
Unless our Republican friends can
marshal a better array of facts for
an Indictment of the present admins
tration tehere is probability of a sus-
pension of the rules to make the 1916
presidential election unanimous

REPLIES TO SHERMAN
Topeka Democrat Takes Issue With
the Illinois Senator.

Senator L. Y. Sherman's partisan
speech, which was made last Monday
at the Commercial club, has stirred up
many Topeka Democrats r. W.
Beaver, SIG New England building,
has the following to say about the
senator's talk:
Some of the senator's remarks
were highly gratifying to his Demo-
cratic hearers though they were not
designed for their edification. The
senator again exemplified the sore
straits to which the attackers of PreSi-
dent Wilson are put, and the wOeful
inconsistency into which they fall. He
first laid stress on the fact that if he
had been looking for a cause for war
with Germany, he would not have in
sisted on the technical right of a few
hundred American citizens to travel
on British ships in an area of the sea
which had been declared by Germany
to be a war zone-he would have con-
sidered the right of a hundred million
other American citizens to remain at
peace to be of greater Importance. If
he had been looking for a cause for
war with Germany, he said with great
dramatic effect, he would have enter
ed our protest at the time that Bel
gian neutrality was violated-when a
treaty to which we were Signatory had
been so ruthlessly ignored. In almost
his next breath he said he was willing
to admit that President Wilson had
cause was there for him to get us into
WARP How about the senator's desire
for a protest against the violation of
Belgian neutrality?
THE senator's discussion of the
economics of tax collecting was espe-
cially good. He took for his COMPARE
son the years ending respectively
June 80, 1912, and June 80, 1915. He
stated that in the year 1912 there were
collected from all sources revenues
amounting to 625 millions and that
approximately SO per cent of this
amount came from import duties

wELLMAN ON COMMISSIONS.
Santa Fe Financial Officer Makes
Talk at Colorado Springs.

A O.. Wellman, of Topeka, assistant
treasurer of the Santa Fe railway, in
an address before the Society of Rail
way Financial Officers at Colorado
Springs recently, said in part:
For the last decade it has been the
popular pastime of politicians and
agitators to lambast the railways of
the country and hedge them about
words, there has been created a sys-
tenn of supervision which means gov
erned, inspected, regulated and con-
trolled.' Many, no doubt, with good
the hue and cry resulting from dis
closure of stock initiating deals, until
there is in the minds of the people a
distrust and miscOnception of the
ton and management. All of this
activity of different governing bodies
has added great expense to the rail-
ways until there is not a safe margin
between income and outgo.
Added to the demands of the fed
eral and state commissions the rail-
ways are soaked good and plenty for
taxes, the idea being that the more a
state gets out of the railway the less
1t will have to ask in direct taxation.
Votes usually accrue to the party that
keeps down individual or direct taxa
ton. The people seem to have been
led by the politicians into a false
premise. The more the railway is
taxed the more the people are taxed.
The people own the greater part of
railway securities, and our overtaxa-
ton and supervision must bring cur
tailment of expenses, which permeates
down the line to the manufacturer, the
jobber and finally to the working man
words beg a language to express the
astounding requirements of the federal
valuation and the great cost to comply.
The justice of this expense is yet to
be proven, for the government is no
paragon of wisdom or economy"

 Tho Local Baseball Outcome
 The abandonment of the 1915 base ball series between Juneau and Tread well before It's end had officially ar rived was the final crimp in an off year for the National game on Cas- tineau Channel. In It's announcement that the season had ended, the Tread well management claimed the cham pionship. with nine games won. to eight annexed by Juneau. One game resulted in tie, and there were three games yet to be played. Juneau won two games before the series started, but they did not count in the standing. The close of tho sea- son will bring no tears to either side of the channel. Many @ loyal fan in days gone by ferverently said; "Thank God" when he read in The Empire Saturday that the season had closed.
 And 1t is just as well. Baseball was on the blink here this sumner, and for what reason? No one seems to know definitely what was the cause of all the trouble. misunderstanding, squabblings. and other things which put the crusher on the series. There was a woeful lack of support on this side of the channel and certainly Treadwell's games were not as well patronlzed as in seasons gone by.
 It is certain that the arrangements must bo made earlier next year, and with a greater degree of security for both fan and ballplayer. The kicking on the field this year was deep wound to the good of the game, al' though it perhaps was subordinate to other causes of complaint. Agree ments were made that the fans-the real supporters of baseball-knew no thing about; everything seemed to work against the popularity of the games and the teams. So far no cry has been raised to dispute Treadwelrl claim to the championship; none should be raised. The reason for call ing the series off is assigned to the fact that both teams have lost SC many players. Thereof the Juneau team went to Whitehorse to play ball; one of the Treadwel team also went there.
 But are there not many good ball players on the channel to take theii places?
 Either league must be formed next year to take in three or foul clubs. with the posting of forfeits, the granting to umpires of the fining pow CT, and the making of arrangements by which the salaries of players will be regularly paid. without the usual scramble to make up O deficit, or Gas tineau Channel must rid itself of pro fessional baseball and so back to the "town-boy" games, which used to be very popular here.
 A change will be necessary nexi year.
