ONLY 143 MEN IN JAIL.

Hartford, Dec. 31.-There are only
14a prisoners In the Hartford county
Jail today, which is about one-half
the normal number and hundreds
fewer than has often been the case at
the beginning of new year The
principal reason ascribed is that
more men than form erIy are ela-
ployed steadily. Interest in a pros
posed new jail on a large farm site
outside the city is dwindling because
of this small Jail population.

The Play
The play which broke up the game
occurred in the second inning. Van
Glider was on third and Stinson on
second for the Ingots. Murtagh was
pitching and Brady catching for the
Wheelers. Mullen was umpiring.
Two were down. Van Glider at
tempted a steal of home. Murtagh
threw the ball. Mullen ruled the ball
a legally pitched delivery, intended
for the batter. Brady came forward
from the catcher's box. straddled the
plate. took the throw and caught
Van Glider. Mullen ruled the runner
safe since Brady had interfered with
the batter. The Wheelers left the
field.
Now comes Peter Smoyak. a spec
tator al the game. with his views ex-
pressed in a letter:
81 take the liberty of writing you
"a few lines concerning the much talk
ed of decision which Umpire Mullen
rendered in the Ingots- Wheelers
game. There appears now to be some
doubt al to whether Murtagh was In
his box or not. Is there anyone In a
IpOSlllOn " JuQBS Dtll6E lidu muAich
who was right there on top OF the
play all the time? l certainly do not
believe Mullen would call the runner
safe unless he was acting in accord
ance with the rules. The rule cover
ing this play can be found in Spauld-
|ing's official guide on Page 1873. Sec
ton 8. and 1t comes under Balks. If
Mr.. Nannen will kindly refer to this
page he will learn his big mistake In
calling his team off the field in the
second inning, n OF the smallest
pieces of sport / have ever witnessed
in Perth Amboy. Regardless of the
umpire's decision he should have
continued TO play under protest.
"Mr. Manner wan 70 play a series
of games In Elizabeth but I do not
think this will meet with the approx

Applegate, of the Ingots. he invaded
the Wheelers' training quarters and
talked an Amboy-Roosevelt series

still wants that series played. He
would like to get into II himself but
whether he does or not, he wants TO
take a chunk OF any side bet put up.
"Say for me-" said Blackie. that
whether l can get around or not
makes no difference. I wan to see
Amboy come across because I feel
that we have the better playing ma
terial here"
Regain, In playing his last game for
Camp Morgan Saturday against the
Ingots, drilled out a homer. triple
and single In four trips to the plate
and scored three OF his teams six
runs. Should the rules of the series,
II arranged, permit It, Regan's APP
pearance in the lineup of an Amboy
team certainly would better the local
teams chances. He is a local boy
who has been seer on local courts
and diamonds for years. Regain is a
basketball star.
Regain backs Umpire Mullen's de-
cision 10 the letter. He says that the
rules are there to govern the play.
