BASE STEALING FALLEN OFF
Are Players Slowing Up, or Are Catch
ers Becoming More Proficient
in Checking Attempts2

A decided change has come over the
base-stealing ability Of players during
the past few years and gives rise to
the question: Are the base runners
slowing up, are the catchers becoming
more proficient in checking attempted
steals, or has the straightaway steal
given way to the sacrifice hit and the
hit and run play? In both the NationT
and American leagues there has been y
marked falling off in base stealing, a
feature Of the game that has done
much to add to its popularity.
No team in baseball today even ap-
preached the New York Nationals Of
1911, 1912 and 1913, the three-time
pennant winners. The old team av-
eraged 800 steals a season over a
stretch of three years, while this sea-
son the team that passed the 200 mark
Is the exception rather than the rule.
In the National league base stealing
has been falling off for some time,
but the American league kept up well
until this season. In 1911, six teams
in the American league stole more
than 200 bases during a season, and in
each Of the three succeeding CAM
paigns five teams went above this
mark

LATERAL PASS NOT POPULAR
Beautiful Play to Watch, a Great
Ground Gamer, but Not Tried
Often This Season.

The lateral pass hasn't been used
very often this year. Many teams
tried it out in 1915 and found it too
dangerous. 1t Is a beautiful play to
watch, a great ground gamer when it
is properly executed. But when it
failS-ruin!
The play is sort of double forward
pass, usually worked along the side
lines. The center passes the ball to
the quarterback ana he f1ips it to one
of his mates-usually an end-who
has raced to the sidelines. Upon re-
ceiving the pass, Mr.. End is supposed
to hurl it forward to one Of his asso-
ciates, who, by that time, if on sched-
ule, should be 20 or 80 yards nearer to
the opponents goal line.
In this triple handling of the ball,
with the possibility Of fumbling, hides
the greatest danger. The next men
ace is in making the final pass. If the
man elected to make the real run with
the ball has reached his station and
is uncovered" by any Of his foes, o.
X. But the chances are that one of
the enemy is lurking In that neighbor-
hood, and when the final heave Is
made, said enemy leaps into the
ozone, extracts therefrom the whirl-
ing ball and-blooie, blooie!

BRONZE BEST LIKED
Beautiful Plumage- and Large
Size Has Given This Tur-
key First Place.

TIME bronze turkey holds the
place of honor among it's tribe.
1t is cross between the wild
and the tame turkey. Its beau
dful, rich plumage and it's size have
come from its wild progenitOrs. To
maintain these desirable qualities
crosses are continually made. In this
way the mammoth size has been gain
ed. Their standard weight ranges
from 16 to SO pounds, according to age
and sex. Probably more Of this variety
are grown each year than Of all others.
The cOloring of this variety Is u
ground of black, blazOned or shaded
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing, and when the suns rays are
reflected from these colors they shine
like polished steel.
The Narragansett turkeys are next
in size to the bronze. They are of
black ground color, each feather end
ing with band Of steel gray, edged
with black. This imparts grayish
cast to the entire surface plumage.
Mixed with this is the finish Of me-
tal!ic black and bronze luster.
The standard weights of this variety
are, for males, from "a to 80 pounds ;
for females, from II to Is pounds.
Some old males Of both this and the
bronze variety weigh over 40 pounds.
The buff turkey Is not generally
known throughout the country. In
many localities it Is almost unknown.
The standard calls for pure buff col
or throughout, but this shade of color
ing is seldom seen. AS bred for mar
ket these turkeys are of a reddish buff
or light chestnut color mixed with
white and some dark shadings. They
are highly valued in some localities for
their quick growth and for their at
Effectiveness when dressed. Their av-
erage weight is several pounds less
than that of the Narragansett.
The slate turkey might be called
blue turkey. They about average in,
size with the bluffs and blacks. They
range from 10 to % pounds, according
to age and sex. The black color ranges
from small spots to larger markings,
but the less Of this the better for ex-
hibitiOn purposes. 1t might be sur
missed that the slate turkey originated
from a cross of white and black tur-
keys.
In America the white turkey Is called
the white Holland turkey. The reason
for this is not apparent, though some
think 1t is so called because it origi-
nally came from Holland. White tur-
keys were formerly quite delicate and
rather small, but now are more gener-
ally developed. The standard Of
weight Is less for the whites than for
other varieties. They range from 10
pounds for young hens to 26 pounds
for old toms. In color of plumage
they should be white throughout lex
cept that each has black beard on
the breast), with shanks and toes pink
ish white.

SWEDES TO VISIT IN SPRING
Prominent Sport Followers Pledge
Enough Money to Send Athletic
Team to United States.

The visit Of small team of Amerl-
can athletes to Sweden this fall Is 60
ing to result in big doings in track
sports in this country next summer.
The appearance of the five American
stars : Meredith, Simpson, Loomis.
Ward and Murray-in Stockholm.
awakened in the breasts of the Scan.
dinavian enthusiasts the desire to send
a team to America, which so nearly
bore fruit last June. Only q crisis
between Sweden and the entente pow
ers, which made it look as though
King Gustav's country was about to
be embrOiled in the big war, prevented
the Swedes from sending along a team
under Ernie Hjertberg that would have
done credit to the northland.
AS matters stand now, there is
pledged by prominent sport followers
in Sweden enough money to send a
team Of about Is men to this country
1t is felt that should the invitation of
the New York Athletic club to the
Swedish athletes be repeated next
spring, as seems likely now, there will
be popular subscription ample
enough to finance team of twice the
size of the one planned last spring.
The one factor that would prevent
the meet, as it did last spring, is the
military situation.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-11-24


the whir change to a fiutter, and the
futter to thud, and the thud to a
struggle in the brush down the hillside.
He followed the sound of that strug-
gle till he came upon the bird, and bird
1t was, turkey not so big of body as
Its spread of wings had indicated, but
q turkey none the less fit to grace the
Scott Thanksgiving board.
The shot had broken its right wing.
The boy decided to tote 1T home as it
was, and he soon had 1t slung from his
rifle barrel over his shoulder and was
picking his way down the mountain
side to find the trail at lower point.
1t was moonlight when he reached the
hog-yard, and then the house, with his
trophy, which was now quite still. Hav-
ing exhibited the bird to his mother
and young sister, he laid 1t in the hay
loft In the stable, and, after full
recital Of his hunt, went to bed, as
tired boy as ever bagged turkey,
and probably more tired than any boy
who never did.
Now, a most surprising thing hap
pened the next morning. When Bob
opened the stable door the turkey was
still there, but 1t was standing on both
feet and with one wing trailing on the
ground. And, instead of fiuttering
away as a regular wild turkey should,
1t looked up at him with look half
curiosity and half appeal. 1t hoped
q few steps away when he approached,
and then allowed Bob to touch 1t with
his hand.
"Well, fellow" said Bob, "you don't
seem to be very much a-scart."

Cause for Thanks.

There have been times in the history
of the country when Thanksgiving day
was rather the occasion Of expressions
of hope for blessings to come than of
gratitude for those being enjoyed, but
even so the nation has not been I'M
of it's peculiar position as the
most fortunate of the countries of the
earth. Much more, then, should there
be thankfulness on every side today
when not only are the people Of the
land enjoying peace while thousands
mourn abroad, but with peace is plenty
in contrast with the hunger that stalks
elsewhere to carry out the horror that
shot and shell did not complete.

FOOTBALL TEAM is FAMOUS
Panhandle Eleven Organized Fifteen
Years Ago at Columbus, Ohio
Has Many Features.

The famous Panhandle football team
of Columbus, O., organized 10 years
ago by Joseph F. Carr, who is still at
it's head, Is one of the leading organi-
cations of it's kind in the United
States. The team averages $50 pounds
and has many features that make it
stand out as great eleven. There are
six brothers playing regular positions
on the team and every one Of them is
star in his particular position. They
are the famous Nesser brothers. They
average over 200 pounds each, their
total weight being close to three-quar-
tiers Of a ton.
The Panhandles, during the present
season, will play schedule Of IA
games that will carry them all over the
United States, for it is seldom In any
branch of athletic activity that such an
organization is found. Another feature
of the team is the fact that all of the
players are employees Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in Columbus and have
been for number Of years.
