Base Ball Fans Are
Often Wont to Argue
on Hits and Errors

NEW YORK. Aug. 1A-what is a base
hit-and why. and when? asks base
bali writer.
the frequently surprising game of base
ball that fans always differ in their opin-
ions on this question.
Two followers of the game are sitting
together. The batter knocks a grounder
to short field territory. The shortstop
and third baseman rush for IL. The bali
bounds into the shortstop's hands and
out again. He throws too late to get
his man at first.
That" AYERS one. rs another hit for
Eddie"
A HIT protests the other. why,
man. that's boot How're you going
to figure a hit out of that?"
This is what the code says in section
4 OF rule IS:
"A base hit shall be recorded in the
following cases:
when the ball from the bat strikes the
ground on or within the foul lines and
out of reach of the fielders. provided the
batter reaches first base safely.
when fair hit Is partially or wholly
stopped by a fielder in motion but such
player cannot recover himself In time to
field the ball to first before the striker
reaches that base or to force out an
other base runner.
when the ball be hit with such force
to an infislder or pitcher that he cannot
handle 1t In time to put out the bats
man or force out a base runner. In
case of doubt over this class of hits a
base lift should be scored and the fielder
exempted from the charge of an error.
when tho ball is hit so slowly toward
fielder that he cannot handle 1t In
time to put out the batsman or force
ont a base ruDner"

TAX RATE DECREASING.

That prohibition reduces the tax
rate is shown by the situation in
Rockford, Illinois. Last year the tax
rate was lower than that of any other
city in the State of the same size, ex-
cept Jacksonville, also a. dry city.
This year 1t is still lower-despite the
fact that Rockford spent more in pub
lie improvements In 1914 than in any
previous year. When taxable prop
erty increases as 1t does under pro-
hibltion regime, the tax rate natural
ly decreases.

Sage Tea Darkens
Hair To Any Shade
Don't Stay Grayl Here's An

The use of Sage and Sulphur for

out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful eff.
feet.
But brewing ut home Is mussy and
out,of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for 90 cent bottle CT

recipe which can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and 10 splendid for

and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggists
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen O
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand ut a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. 1t becomes
beautifully dark. glossy. soft and
