| SECRECY OF VARIOUS RULES
Presidents of Major Leagues Should
Make interpretations of Rulings
Known to the Fans.

There is one reform which the presi-
dents of the major leagues should
bring about. This is letting all of the
fans know their interpretations of va
rious rules. After this reform the
league presidents should go a step far
Their. They should make their inter
pretations uniform. The trouble is
and always has been that the rulings
of the presidents are kept almost a
state secret. They are given to the
umpires and sent to the club manag-
ers. AS rule, the latter consider the
interpretations are for their own spe-
cial benefit, so that even the players
of the major leagues do not always get
wise to them until the play actually
comes up. AS for the minor leagr es,
the collegians, the semi-pros, and the
amateurs, they are kept entirely in
the dark. An instance in point came
up this season, says writer in Phila-
delphia Telegraph. Recently Tommy
keenan,, who is umpiring in the East
ern association, sent letter to the
writer telling of play which came
up in his circuit. There was a runner
on first base. No one was out The
batsman made three bases on a drive.
The umpires called both men out
the base runner for not touching sec
ond and the batsman for technically
passing the base runner before he was
declared out. Jim O'Rourke, president
of the Eastern association, who was a
major league player many, many years
ago, decided that the umpire was
right. Billy Evans and Jack Sheridan
of the American league staff, to whom
we referred the play, declared that
only the base runner should have been
called out We also submitted the
play to Billy KLEIN of the National
league staff. Klein agreed with Evans
and Sheridan. Then KLEIN pulled out
his instructions in which this very
play was given. In the instructions
the umpires are told to call only the
base runner out on such play and to
permit the batsman to make as many
bases as possible on the drive, unless
two men were out before the ball was
hit. In the latter case the DatSman
would get only single. The argu-
ment for this ruling is that the bats
man should not be penaliZed for the
fault of the base runner Had the in
depreciation of the major league presi-
dents on this play been published the
argument could never have come up
in the Eastern association. There are
wrangles every day on the diamonds
of the big and little teams which could
be avoided if the major league presi-
dents would have a little foresight
and understand that their rules are
followed by tens of thousands Of
teams all over the world instead OF
merely by tie teams IL their own cir
cults.

FRANCIS OUIMET is T0UCHY
Refuses to Accept Prize Based on
Professional Classification by
Metacomet Golf Club.

That Francis Ouimet is deservedly
touchy about his amateur status is
shown by his attitude toward a prize
he won at the professional-amateu
competition at the Metacomet Golf
club recently.
On account of his high rank as a
player, it was decided to class him as
a professional, since, if he had been
paired as an amateur with profess
sional, other pairs would have stood a
poor STOW of landing first prize.
Ouimet and his partner won second
place, which carried with it prize
of $40 for the second best pro.
The club officials decided to give
Ouimet a prize equivalent to the $40
rather than one of the prizes for anna
tours. Thereupon Ouimet notified the
club that he preferred not to accept

HE DIDN'T GET HIS NUMBER

Did you ever try to get a telephone

his Sgfice. He found the operator talk

minutes until she eased up and then
began: will you let me have.
"Just had my LUNCH" said the girl,
speaking in the receiver. "Will you
let me have" the man began

CROWD DIDN'T FEAzE MODEL
Man Insists on Having Curtain on
Window While Hooking Up Back
of Woman's Gown.
Ter self.nossession was perfect.

Her self-possession was perfect.
The curious, aloof smile never left
her lips, and before all those staring,
mocking people, he buttoned her up
the back.
To all appearances she was uncon-
scious of the jeers, but who could tell
what thoughts were burning behind
that broad brow?
AS she felt the eyes of the crowd
following, inch by inch, his hands,
what hot humiliation was hidden by
that seemingly unfeeling exterior!
He was one who was openly, I'M
doubtedly affected by the painful po-
sition.
Each coarse jest, each brutal gibe
of the mob pierced him cruelty and
brought the fierce bushes to his
cheeks. His hands faltered, fumbled,
among the hooks and eyes of the filmy
gown whose duty it was for him to
fasten. And so cold was she, so un-
affected, that he had a good mind to
cut and run-to leave here there to her
fate. Yet he stayed, hooking, hooking
hooking under all those merciless
eyes.
But he muttered holly: "If they
make me dress these darn models
again without putting a curtain UP
over the windows, I'll throw up, my
job!"-Detroit Free Press.
