TO GIVE BATTING ORDER.
National League Makes Move in Inter
est of Fans and Scribes..

A new system of announcing the Off
cial batting order of teams in cham
pionship games will be used in the Ma
tionaI league this year, Secretary John
A. Heydler announced recently. Here
tofore only the names of the battery
men have been called out by the UNI
pire. "In consequence of request
that an official announcement of the
batting order of the teams be made to
the press priod to the start of games,
President John K. Tener has promul-
gated rule making it incumbent upon
the umpire-in-c chief himself to announce
or have it done by a megaphone man
the official batting order, names OF
players and positions they play, just as
they are obtained from the mana gers
or captains prior to the start of the
game, said Secretary Heydier.
'This announcement viii be made
after the other usual details prior to
the start of u game have been com
pleted and will be the last word of the
umpire before calling play
This action on the part Of Presl-
dent Tener will serve two purposes
namely, it will enable the press to know
before the start of game the Official
batting order and the names and pc
siaions of all players engaged and thus
prevent confusion and mistakes. and
second, it will insure the public obtain
ing q correct personel OF the batting
order, inasmuch as the scoreboard list
is always obtainable from the pres.
box. =

reconsideration by rising vote Of So

did his best for the measure, and assur
ed the house that Alburg and Swanton
were willing to aid in the construe-
tion and have it a toll bridge with the
tolls going to the state, and painted in
glowing terms the beauties of the Yer

fractions to automobiles from this

Mr.. Hapgood of Peru, who greatly
objects to what he thinks nasty action
and who stated that he had done as
much as any member to accelerate

reconsideration by the house of its re-

S 122 relating to detective service. He
wanted to amend the measure so that
town grand jurors might be paid for
securing evidence for the prosecution

Of Mr.. Graham of Rockingham and Mr..

provided for the matter and call for
the previous question by Mr.. Stacey

fused.

floating of logs in the White River or
any of its tributaries, was resumed
yesterday afternoon and upon question
by Mr.. Demeritt of Duxbury as to
what the member from Rockingham
had to propose to correct the condi-
tions described, Mr.. Graham replied
that he would favor measure or
amendment providing that any dam
age to any riparian owner on any
stream by floating logs or lumber
might be remedied by a petition by
either party injured to the chief
justice of the supreme court who
should appoint a commission of three
disinterested freeholders or refer the
matter to the public service commits
sion who should view the premises and
hear the parties within ten days and
assess damage. Either party dissat-
isfied might call for jury trial with
in ten days, but if such action was
not taken the decision of the board
should be announced by the county
court. He also favored the filing of a
bond by a corporation engaged in the
floating of logs or lumber. Mr.. Morse
Of Hardwick thought the remedy pro-
posed was little better than the pres
ent law and moved that the bill be
made a special order for Monday af-
ternoon ar sos o'clock which was
agreed to.
