One OF the reasons for the weakening of the Rus
sian forces at the front directly after the revolution
was an impression that the overthrow of the mon
archy was to be followed directly by distribution
OF lands to the peasantry. Under this impulse tens
of thousands unceremoniously left the ranks and
rushed home to secure their allotment of land The
incident shows what the Russian peasantry COM

That Queens Hospital Road

When the community finds that its local govern.
ment responds promptly to requests obviously
proper, it may be happy in the knowledge that the
Representatives Of the people are well intentioned
and are honestly endeayoring to meet the demands
Of necessity. ss.-
This. comment is inspired by the repairing that
is now being done on that portion Of Punchbowl
street, between Beretania avenue and the entrance
to the Queens hospital. The men and the machines
are at work, and it should be merely matter of
hours before the way to the hospital, in so far as
its immediate approaches are concerned, will be as
smooth and comfortable as road repair can make
it. This is the temporary and timely improvement
made pending the thorough reconstruction under
the frontage tax improvement that has been inaugu
rated
Forget the natural and common remark that this
repairing should have been done long ago.
Forget to ask why, if this can be done in these
days of municipal money shortage, some repairs in
your immediate neighborhood should not be attend.

Certain young men in Hawaii who postponed
their registration to some more convenient day than
July 81 under the impression that Uncle Sam would
fall all himself to receive them when it suited

FRAzEE INTRODUCES
INSURANCE TO GAME
CANDLES With uOyRs Concerning
Boston Weather.

Harry Frazee, the most recent OF
major league magnates. is reported
to have introduced an innovation in
baseball in order to secure his base
ball investment for the playing sea
son. Frazee Is a theatrical producer
and Is reputed to be owner OF q half
interest in the worlds champions Red
Sox. He negotiated for the purchase
OF the club from ]. ]. Lannin, and
was elected president and has been
actively directing the executive man
agement OF the club from the time
he obtained control
1t is said that Frazee has obtained
which will assure the club OF at least
$4,000 a day for fifteen playing dates
in Boston These days include twelve
Saturdays and three holidays. The
cost OF this insurance OF $780, 700 is
said to have been a premium of
$4,000, and Insures the club against
loss OF receipts due to rain on the
fifteen days specified.
Should II happen to rain on only two
OF these days the insurance would
more than cover the premium. On
on all these days, something extreme
ly doubtful, Frazee will lose the
amount OF his premium, $4,000. Al
together IL looks like a wise invest
ment and business-like precaution.

BILLIARD LEAGUE TO
INCLUDE THIS CITY
Washington Likes Sport and May
Get Place in Circuit.

II all signs do not fall the launch
ing OF the American Billiard League
will be an event Of the near future.
The idea, originating in Chicago, has
found impetus in Detroit, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh, ST. Louis, New York, and
other cities, and doubtless this sum-
mer the proposed organization will
be limited to eight or ten roomkeep-
ers Washington is likely to have a
place in the circuit, billiards being a
popular sport among the Capitals
clubmen.
It Is the scheme of the organizers
OF the new league not only to have a
three-cushion circuit like that OF the
Interstate League, but to promote
balkline and pocket billiards as well.
Many tournaments at the latter styles
will be arranged and care exercised
so that such attractions will In no
way conflict with the regularly
scheduled games in the proposed
three-cushion circuit
"Co-operatIon and harmony" Is to
be the slogan OF the American Billiard
League, which will do everything II
can to help rather than impair the
strength OF the Interstate League,
which was first in the field but Is in
adequate. according to the progressive
ideas OF the new league promoters, to
properly aid the growing wants OF
the most fascinating OF indoor pas

There is no such advantage In the

It has cost many q runner q life

Many decisions at first are by the

loss OF q small part OF q second IL
enough to turn the scale. Also the
umpire sometimes Is confused by the

There has been an impression, and
Il prevails in some quarters yet. to
the effect that q runner IL out any

grew out of an incident in which
Hank O'Day figured. He called a run

O'Day meant was that the runner waa

he had run all the way. O'Day dated
back to the time when Il was a known
fact that a slide cost time, and he
was right in telling the runner he was
out for sliding. But the runner took
