WRAPS new. LEXICON
Intended to Make Base Ball Terms
Clearly Understood. -..

There's a growing tendency In the
baseball world that ought to be check
ed, according to that distinguished
base ball critic and sporting lexicogra
.pher, Alibi Ike. Ike says that altogeth
.er too much importance is being at
tached to the enemy's performance.
1T has actually reached such a state
declared Ike this morning, that even
home fans try to give credit to the
enemy when they defeat the local
club. This practice is, of course, due
to misunderstanding regarding some
of the more important terms used by
our correspondents at the front.
ITO correct the false impression,
am using a new base ball lexicon
which If followed carefully by home
fans will prevent all credit accruing to
the opposition"
We quote from Alibi Ike's proofs OF
his new book. the following examples
Fluke-Base hit by the enemy.
Bad Break-Anything that results
in putout of home player.
Umpire-The tenth man on the enc
my's team.
Error-Misplays by the opposing
team; bad bounds" for the home
club.
Safe-Enemy runner out a mile, but
Jump didn't see it.
Out-Home team runner beats throw
two feet, Jump gives our side raw deal
Scratch single-Three base drive
by the enemy. h'
Lucky Play-Enemy shortstop starts

Defeat-A combination of hard luck
accident, and bad umpiring resulting
whenever opposing side wins.
