Despite the world record OF thirty
FIVE straight wins established by Capa-
blanca in the first of his recent exhi-
bitions before the Washington Chess
and Whist Club, the full measure of
the Cuban's greatness was shown dur
ing the course Of the second evening" g
play against the local master. n. T.
Whitaker. AS will be seen from the
score of this game, which follows, Mr..
Whitaker at one stage Of the contest
had a certain draw in hand. but game
ly refused the even break. Capablanca
took advantage of this boldness with
all the accuracy and brilliancy for
which he is so justly famous.

Did Jake Atz participate in amy Of

No, he did not join the White so2 un-
til 1908.
Has SnoGgrass ever play with the
Giants. as a regular. in any other posi-
ton except the oHtreld, AND did he JOIN
them as catcher: II. JONES
Snodgrass Joined the Giants as Il
catcher, but was made into an out
fielder. and while he has played vari-
Gus positions as occasion demanded. it
would be proper to say that as Il regu-
lar he has played the outfleld only.
What is the record for number of
chances accepted in outtield' FAN.
Presumably you want TO know for one
game. Spalding's Record gives Fred
Clarke's ten putoutS in one game as a
major league record. 1t may have been
beaten in the minors. but so far as we
know Nixon's record of ten putouts
and one assist in nine innings is 4
record.
What year did Joe Jackson have a
better batting average than Cobb ?
Give figures for both and number Of
games played. ADOLPHCS.
jackson went up to Cleveland after
the close of the Southern League sea-
twenty games, with batting average
of .3S7. Cobb played 40 games that
year and batted 1855. The official rec
ords usually carry the names OF all
more and thus Jackson is in the official
record as leading the American League
at bat
Is it one of the duties of the official
scorer of league game that he should
keep count of the balls and strikes on
a batter? DOUBTFUL.
We should sa:- that it is one of his
duties; at least it used to be considered
so, when the official scorer was more
important person in the game than he
is now The present day umpire. how
ever would hardly permit the scorer
TO check him on balls or strikes; he
would even prefer to let batter bat
out of turn rather than listen to the
scorer who might know better. The
duty of the scorer these days, as rec
ognized. is to keep tab on runs. hits and
errors and furnish material for aver
ages, while the umpire keeps count OF
balls and strikes with his little indi-
Gator. The umpire does not ask the
scorer for assistance and the scorer
knows it is usually hopeless to ask the
umpire to clear any point about which
the scorer may be i'll doubt

MODEL CITY CHARTER OFFERED

DAYTON, OHIO, November 20-Dis-
cussion OF Il model city charter took
w all the time of thc concluding SEES
sions OF the National Municipal League.
Tn" document was prepared by a COM
mitiec OF which William Dudley
foulkc, Of Richmond, Ind. was chair
man, and which has been working on
the subject for two years. y prclmi-
nary report of this committee was
made to the Baltimore convention OF
the league in 1914
The committees report included
plans for certain constitutional pro-
visions to make the charter possible
in States whose organic law would
otherwise nullify some Of its provis-
ions. This section of the report en-
bodied provisions giving any city
power 10 frame and adopt its own
charter through an election nonpurti-
san commission. and subsequent re-
fer ,ndum election; giving cities power
to levy taxes nd assessments and to
borrow money; to own and operate
public utilities or TO regulate those
within it's borders: and to unite city
and county into one system of NUM-
cipal government under certain cir
cumStanccs.
With this as basis it was pro-
posed that tho City Council should be
composed of from five to twenty five
members. elected at large on Il non
partisan ba sis and If possible by a pre-
fercntial vote based upon proportional
representation. The term Of each Coun-
Gilman was proposed as four years.
The Council would be given power 90
elect one of its members as Mayor
and to appoint Il city manager. a clerk
and civil service commission. Council
men would be forbidden TO deal with
any one connected with the admins
tratiNc service except through the city
manager. and any attempt to give or
ders or otherwise interfere with the
administration of the city would lie
made a misdcmeanor, punishable by
fine and Imprisonment.
City Elections.
The charter provided that the Mayor
should be recognized as head of the
city by the courts for serving civil
processes, by the Governor Of the State
for military purposes, and at all cerc-
monies.
The document provided tnat muni-
cipal elections should he held OH "a day
other than those on which state and
national elections are held Names of
candidates, II was suggested. should he
printed In alphabetical order ana in
rotation on different sets of ballots.
The ballots would he so combined as
TO have the fewest possible ballots
having the same order OF names in
each tablet.
Provisions for recall of elective Off
GERS and for initiative and referendum
on ordinances were Incorporated in
the charter, but the report of the com
mittee showed that its favor of these
provisions was not unanimous
The city manager was given broad
executive powers and made RESPONSE
bile to the City Council Ills term Of
office was made indefinite. and he would
be removable by the Council only after
public hearing IL he had held Office
for six months. Choice of manager
was not limited to the city or state
tho committee pointing out that the
German system OF advertising for "a
burgomcistcr had been highly sue
cessful"
The charter provided administrative
departments of law, health. education,
finance, safety and works, with a di-

rector for each. appointed by the city
manager and removable hy him. These
directors would be immediately rcspon-
siblc 10 the city manager and al his
service for reports, recommendations
ana information.
The Ci,ii Service.
The civil scrvic" would nc admin
istercd by hoard o; three selected by
the Council and removable by a four
!ifths vote Of that body only after writ
ten charges had been fled and a hear
ing held thereon SiN-ycar terms were
provided for the comm lssioncrs. with
the idea that this would prevent any
permanent influence upon it by pos
sibly corrupt or partisan Council.
Provisions "a to finance proposed
establishment OF Il budget system with
limitations that would make difficult
any shifts OF appropriations except i'll
emery cncies. How bonds might be is
sued. taxes levied and loans made were
also detailed in this section. and II
further provided safeguards In the way
OF publicity for all contracts and pur
chases involving more than stated
expenditure.
The model charter treated public
utilities at length providing methods
by which the city might acquire owner
ship OF these or regulate privately
owned quasi public corporations. The
length OF franchises was limited to
thirty years, although il was pointed
out that the expense of establishing
ella boratc utilities such AS elevated
railroads, might make term OF fifty
years advisable Unused and dupli-
eating franrhises would be repealed
by the model charter, and all grants
would be made with full provision for
municipal ownership at stated intervals
in their life or at expiration.

pared the model charter. besides Mr.
