Haughton's Proposal to AL.
ter Baseball Diamond is
Not Warmly Received

New York, Jan. 11.-while there is
little, IL any, possibly of a readjust-
ment OF the professional baseball dia-
mond as recently suggested by Pres.
Percy d. Haughton of the Boston
National League club, the proposed
changes, as outlined by the Harvard
football coach, offer wide field for
speculation as to what would be the
result If such alterations were made.
At the present time the diamond
proper is in reality a square meaSur-
Ing ninety feet to a side.
The bases are considered to be so
feet apart, and the distance from the
home plate to the second base is 127
feet 3% inches. The pitchers slab is
not exactly halfway between the two
points, but is located so feet, inches
from the plate and Sc feet, BIS inches
from second base. Haughton suggests
that in order to equalize the offensive
and defensive strength of the pitcher
and batter, it might be found adj
visable, upon investigation, to move
first and third bases five feet nearer
the home plate, and decrease the
width Of the plate.
Would Alter Entire Aspect.
If this were done, it would change
the entire aspect of the baseball dia-
mond, which would become, roughly,
kite shaped. AS 1t is especially stipu-
lated that second base is not to be
moved, the result would be that the
distance from home plate to either
first or third base would be IS feet,
and the distance from first to Sec
ond and from second to third base
approximately IS feet. These figures
are based upon the angles OF the base
lines, and do not take into considera-
ton the base bag proper which is 15
inches square and considerably short
ems the distance to be covered by the
ase-runner, who is, of course, safe
as soon as he touches the bag.
It would shorten the distance that
the batter would have to run in order
to be safe after hit, and for the
runner attempting to score from third.
The regular playing positions of the
inf1eIders, in all probability, would be
shifted, as there would be an addition
al 10 feet Of fair field to be covered by
the four players. The first and third
basemen would be- enabled to play
closer to the plate for bunt, but at
the same time the batter would have
5 feet less to run in order to reach
flrst safely. The pitcher would be able
to watch runners on first and third
more closely, as these bases would be
4 trifie In front of him instead Of at
right angles, as they are at pres
ent. go
There has been no change in the
shane or measurements OF the baseball
diamond since 1885, when the rules
were made to read that the distance
between first and third bases and
home plate and second base must be
AZ naces. There has been considerable
discussion as to just what PAGES"

lily clothing, bedding and other ar
ticles, Mrs. Agata Grabanskie, aged
"a, will be committed to the state in
sane asylum at Jamestown. Her hear
ing was held before the insanity
board at the courthouse yesterday,
The young woman is the wife of
John r. Grabanski, a Turtle River
township farmer residing near Man
vel, and is the mother Of four chill
dren.
At the hearing before County
Judge L. K. Hassell yesterday, the
young woman declined to speak. Wit
nesses testified that she often has not
spoken for days at a time. Her
mania for setting fire to articles about
the house became violent during the
last week, and fears that the lives of
the family might be endangered led
to her being taken in charge by off,
GERS and held for examination as to
her insanity. She showed little con-
Germ over her commitment.
The jamestown authorities have
been notified, and are expected to ar
rive in a day or two for the patient.

To where IL bent in the underground.

Because it was grassy and wanted wear:
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, kept the first for another day;
Yet knowing how way leads on TO way,

And that has made all the difference.

their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort Of paralyzed

them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick head

sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather Is bad yon have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full Of
sediment, channels often get sore, wa

relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult good reliable physi-
