EEAN BALL BANNED
Pitchers Found Guilty Of Practice
VIII Sc EXPELLED

Pitchers Found Guilty Of Practice
viii Sc Expelled.
Chicago, May 24.--Pitchers convict
ed CT using the bean ball" highly
dangerous ball thrown directly at a
batters head will be expelled from or
ganized baseball as a result of ral-
ing by the National Commission here
today. The ruling was not alone dl-
rected to players in the major league,
but to every member of clubs operat-
ing under the national agreement.
The commissions ruling. as announc-
ed by Chairman August Hermann,
follows:
1T has come to the notice of the
National Commission that certain pit
cheers are being charged with using
the bean bail which charges, If
true. would not only be a great detri-
mcnt to The game but would result in
most severe injuries to players and
would be unsportsnianlike in the
highest degree.
The commission therefore serve
notice that ii charge of this kind is
PRESENTED to it at any time against
any player, and after an examination
the same is proved. it will result in
the expulsion of the player or players
so charged from the game"
Chairman Hermann characterized
that bean BALI as brutal, and added
that he could not force himself TO be-
lieye that a pitcher would deliberately
hurl bali at a batters head with the
intention OF injuring him. He de-
clared that such a practice might re-
suit fatally. President Johnson of
the American League had previously
declared that pitcher found guilty
OF using the ball deserved a Jail
sentence
Hermann asserted that no speci-
iic cases had enforced the ruling, but
that general reports that certain pit
chers were using the delivery result
ed in it. Expulsion of a player for
use of the Illegal ball means that be
cannot enter the employ of a club
operating under the national agree
ment fer at least FIVE years, as a pc
ution for reinstatement will not be
considered in less time

VALUABLE VERMONT BOOKS
Cataloglng OF Volumes at Billings
Library.


The Vermont collection of volumes
in the Billings Library are being com
pletely oataloged through the gener'
osity of James b. Wilbur of Manches
ter, by Miss Lillian Bishop, for some
time connected with the State Library
in Montpelier.
The collection. which consists OF
books by Ve-monters and about Yer
mCnt and Ncfmonters, together with
books publish, | by concerns in the
State. is the largest and most dis
tinctive in Vermont except the one in
the Capitol. The universitys collec-
ton contains. it is estimated, about
5000 volumes.
In it are such books as the original
journal of Ira Allen, Ethan Aliens
"Oracle of Reason" five volumes OF
Hemenway's Gazetteer" the manu-
script OF Sanders History of Indian
Wars" and also the printed works:
Champlain's Voyages" and, best OF
all, copy Of the first edition of the
constitution OF Vermont, published in
t777 This is one of the very earliest
and most precious of the books or sets
of volumes. Mr. Sanders was the
first president of the-State university.
There is also a pretty fairly complete
set of the statutes of Vermont The
collection of books by graduates OF the
university and professors is also quite
complete. including the manuscript of
Charles Herbert Tuttle's History of
Prussia" Mr.. futile was professor
at Cornell University for some time.
Part of the collection consists of
some $500 books given about Is years
ago by i. Il. Chittenden, register of
the treasury under Lincoln. But the
university already of course had many
good volumes and the collection has
been slowly accommodating until "a
special alcoye on the second floor of
the building, opposite the Office alcoye,
has been ASSIGNED to it, known as
"The Vermont room
Some of the books are not inen-
toned even in Gilmans photography
OF Vermont" standard catalogue of
Vermont works Among other collec-
lions OF Vermont looks in the State
are those of Mr.. Wilbur, the donor,
CongI essman Frank L. Greene of ST.
Adams. the State Library, the futile
Company of Rutland, the late Horace
w. Bailey, Arthur f. Stone OF ST
Johnsbury. and +. Lee Whitney, as
sistant librarian of the State Library.
The eataloging of the books would
be an important first step in the prep.
aration of union catalog of the i'm.
portant Vermont books. which would
be invaluable for reference purposes
II would not only list books, but tell.
where they are to be found.

PRISONERS MALTREATED
British Who Escaped From Germans
Tell CT Starvation.


Three British soldiers, who have
just succeeded in escaping from Ger
man prison camp few miles back of
the firing line, tell a pitiful story of
their treatment by the enemy They
declared there was a great deal OF
sickness in the camp, due to fatigue
and starvation.
If we showed the slightest dis
position to be sick" said one OF the
men to the correspondent OF the AS
sCciated Press today, I'VE were either
thrashed with whips or struck with
the butt end Of a rife.
Although this soldier had been in
enemy hands only three months, he
had dropped in weight from 1872
pounds to 1903 He was living skele-.
ton. His feet had been frozen and
were gangrenous for lack of treat
ment The men had neither over
coats nor blankets during the coolest
weather of the winter. When cap
tured during raid they wore leather
Jackets. These the Germans took
away from them Immediately. They
also stripped the rubber lining from
their shrapnel helmets and took away
their regimental badges for the brass
that was in them
One of the men during the perilous
trip across No Mans land at the end
OF the escape was badly wounded.
Fer food the prisoners received daily
a quarter loaf Of bread, one plate of
thin soup and about every second day
a cup of weak coffee substitute. On

fearful Statesmen.

There was time when English
statesmen wept upon small provoca-
ton. Pepys makes frequent reference
to this weakness, while the story Of
the long parliament as written by
D'Ewes gives the impression that the
legislators OF that day were slngularly
prone to tears. They went on the
slightest provocation, and sometimes
their excessive grief was SO noisy that
proceedings had to be stayed until the
lachrymose lawmakers could compose
themselves.
