ner picks himself up out of the dirt, whisks a cloud of dust from his stock ing and makes ready to advance an other base
 This happens almost every day on the ball field. Maybe the runner was out, maybe he was safe. It is always the same on close decision when verdict is against the home team. The spectator who sits far out in centre field, where it is utterly impossible to see a play that is decided by inches, is always sure the umpire is wrong if he decides other than the way the fan sees it from a distance. Many times the fan takes his cue from the player or the base runner; sometimes the fan believes the umpire is right, of the time some one is wrong, no matter which way the decision goes That's baseball, and it all goes with the art of base running and the tag gfng of runners
 Putting the ball on the runner these days is one of the finest points of the great national pastime. With speed die Collins and Clyde Milan, in the Amedican League, and George Burns, Charlie Herxog, ~Cosey,' Dolan. Max Carey and Honus Lobert, in the Na- tional, tearing around the base paths and shooting into the bags with the famous .'toe-hoolc' or .'fallawayn slide. it not only requires a considerable amount of skill on the part of the guardian of the bag or home plate, but whole lot of gamenesS on the part of the one who is taking the throw and tagging the man coming at the bag feet first with two spiked shoes flying through the air.

CRIMSON LOOKING AHEAD.
Says Harvard Alumni Bulletin.

"The clean sweep of Yale at New London recently and the defeat of the nine at Brooklyn brought to a somewhat melancholy end an ath- much that is happily memorable. It has been said that Harvard was de- feated because 1t did not have a rac- ing crew. Explanations of defeat are seldom of much avail. The better teams generally win and the simple act seems to have been that at New London Yale had the better crews That is not what the preliminary opinions of experts had led us to ex- pect- It looked in advance as if the with an even chance that either Har- yard or Yale might win most of them. With Yale the victor in. the univer- sity, the second enght, and the fresh man races, we can only take off our hats to her coaches and crews, and measures which will secure a Harvard victory next year. It is worth while to rem@mber that there have been far longer periods of darkness in Harvard rowing history than that which began last year with the defeat by a few inches and has been continued in the disappointment of the present season
 What the Harvard rowing autho- ities must now consider is the Ques- ton Wnebner the sCyle or rowing pr2c- ticed in Cambridge has faults which put it at disadvantage in compari- son with the stroke that Nickalls, has developed at Yale. Discussion on this point will doubtless be long and con fusing. The record of the Harvard university crew in it's races with Yale since Wray began to coach in Cam bridge has some bearing on the prob lem. Wray has had charge of eleven Harvard crews; seven of these have won decisive victories on the Thames and this years eight was the first of the eleven to be. beaten by more than twenty feet"

Colonial League Almost Ready t Throw un Snonae.

Colonial League Almost Ready to
 Throw Up Sponge.
 The Colonial league is not only tot- tering but rapidly biting the dust says writer in the Hartford Courant. Any afternoon, upon arriving at the grounds. not sign of surprise would shown if the gates were locked and nothing doing in the line of a. ball game The only possible emotion would sbe one of relief. But. with AL exander of Providence continuing on as the league boss, the probabilities are constantly immediate the league will close up. Secretary Banwart somewhat inaptly remarked in Spring field a few days ago the league might blow up Saturday. In Hartford on idea and then immediately turned around an dmade the same statement again.
 With newspapers carrying state ments from a league secretary that the organization is liable to go to Hartford fans to turn out and support the team? With the policy he has openly displayed since the season started of weakening a team in order to economize on salaries how can he expect the league to secure a follow ing But a person might as well pro- pound question to the famous Sphinx as to ask Secretary Banwart any thing. He openly announced in Springfield he intended to fire Busi- ness Manager Hugh McKinnon Well, and good. MT. McKinnon evidently was waiting for Alexander when the latter arrived for McKinnon is still with the club. Bannwart raised no ructions in Fall River He knows bet ter That is Walter Wards club and he can see the sign 'fVerboten" az IT, vim Cobb would say.
 While in Hartford this week Bann- wart made so many statements 1t would be useless to try and repeat them. He stated openly in conversa- ton in a hotel lobby the league might close any day. He also said it might close Saturday, and he would not be surprised to see it close any time. Three different statements, none meaning anything.
 He said he was on his way to New York and was after sufficient funds to carry the league through the season. He said he dropped about $30.000 for the Federal league last year with the Colonial league and figured he could do as we'll this year. Yes, sir, he must be one swell little money spender. Money must come easy to Federal league magnates to spend it that way.

CITY LEAGUE SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
EmeaIds and Trimmers Tied for Fourth Place Official Standing of the Clubs.

Interest and enthusiasm Is gaining rapidly among the teams and their followers in the City League. The teams are practically evenly matched save for the Sluggers, who still have d white sheet and who have tackled up 8 victories due to their name (Slug- gers). They certainly have a strong Aggregation in this line and their pitcher Sidal is unQuestfonably the best in the league. The Sturtevants at the early part of the season were considered lost in the race but during the past few weeks they have braced up and made a steady climb from the cellar to third place and are now pressing hard for second place which is held by the East Ends.
 Fourth place in standing is a real battle as three teams Emeralds, Trim mers, and Kickers are tied and each is putting in a strong bid for the posi- ton.
 The official standing to date given out by Secretary Troland follows:

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET.
Nervous and UnsettIed-Dealinss on .
 Contracted Scale.

New York, July S.-Stocks were again nervous and unsettled today, but not to the same degree as yesterday. Dealings were on a much more con tracted scale, the result in large part of some diminution in the volume of foreign offerings Selling for Europe was sufficiently extensive, however, to cause more new low records. Louis vile and Nashville declined to 104 1-2, Southern Railway common and prefer red to IS S-4 and 45 IA, respectively, and Missouri Pacific fell to 1-2. Missouri, Kansas and Texas issues, Kansas City Southern and St. Louis and San Francisco were weak. Many Of the standard railway stocks sold under yesterdays level. especially in the last hour. on the publication of the mixed crop report, while others seemed ditions. Leaders like Reading, Union Pacific and United States Steel offer ed resistance to bear pressure, but the list as whole was inclined to yield on moderate offerings. War special ties ranged from one to two points of reports that the metal is being sold under quoted prices. Total sales amounted to S55, ,000 shares.
 SteadinesS in the various markets for foreign exchange gave added point to the negotiations pending for the new British loan at this center. There was a fair demand for bills on London and continental remittances were firm The feature of the Bank of EngIand,s weekly statement was the further large decrease-almost $6, ,000, ,0o0-in gold. The bank strengthened it's liability reserve over the preceding week, but the decrease of $6, soc. .000 in public de- posits probably represented withdraw als for participation in the new war loan.
 Japanese bonds bearing the German stamp figured in today's bond deal ings. Total sales, par value, aggregat- ed $2,170,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged

cIabby Takina No Chances.

Jimmy Clabby is taking no chances this time As soon as he arrived In New York he asked the managers of the Brighton Beach S. c. to postpone his bout with Soldier Bartfeld until July IT, James, feeling that he wasn't tn tip top shape. announced that he craved an additional week in which to prepare for the bristlfng soldier. Ills request was granted, and James im- mediately rushed off into seclusion.
 Evidently Bartheld's win over Mike Gibbons has boomed his reputation out Clabby's way, so much so that curly headed James thought that he had bet- ter be at his best. for another Gotham hiver on his part would end his chances to add to the winters coaa supply for all time around our I'll de tank siding.

One of Finest Tricks in Baseball
 Players Trade.

Safe! You missed him foot"
 Base runner and shortstop are mixed up on the bag. The umpire is standing directly over the play with arms outspread, eagle fashion. In an instant there is an argument started by the player with the ball still held in his hand, and it is taken up by the leather-lunged fans. who rise up with thunderous yell of protest at the rank decision. The umpire walks away to resume his position ;n the field, the shortstop holds his nose. the fans yell "Robber!" and the base run

QUAIL DISEASE is
FOUND BY BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The third
known outbreak Of quail disease has
been discovered by the bureau of ami
NAL industry in quail sent for eXami-
nation from the National Geological
park. These birds were received a few
importers in widely separated parts Of
the country. Most Of the quail now
on the market are imported from
Mexico and are entered at the port of
Brownsville, Texas. Under these cir
cumstances all outstanding permits
have been cancelled and further i'm
pOrtations suspended for this season.
Quail disease. a highly infectious
malady, to which all our native quail
are apparently subject, was discovered
in 1907 and was traced TO a number
of states. A seconud outbreak occur
red in 1912, but was checked through
the suspension OF importation of birds
from Mexico from which most of the
scupply of birds was drawn Last
year practically no birds were import
ed from Mexico and no quail disease
was reported This year a limited
number of birds have been permitted
to enter at Brownsville subject TO
quarantine maintained through the
cooperation OF the biological survey
and the bureau of animal industry.
All birds which were suspected of
having the disease were examined at
Brownsville or forwarded to this de-
partment, but not until Jan. 5 were
the first undoubted cases OF disease
detected. Game commissioners and
sportsmen who are interested in the
introduction Of quail or who may have
purchased birds for restocking this
season are requested TO advise the de-
partment If any of the birds are
known TO have died from disease OF
anv kind. As a measure of precau-
ton any birds now in captivity should
be kept under close observation for a
period of at least 10 days and in case
any of them die the bodies should be
forwarded TO the bureau Of animal
industry of the department OF agri-
culture for examination.
