Revolution Being Preached In NOY1gay
SiLjan Writes of Stirring Conditions

I will retain far the greatest part OF
the Eociaiistic votes cast at the last
election Chat IL, about one-third)l
and. in addition claim that they
have secured many converts" since
1915. The propoganda for "a revolt
OF power IN the social conditions ex-
listing in Norway" to use one of the
favorite terms Of the syndicalist
press, Is carried on ostentatiously in
writing as well as in speaking. At
q meeting in Skien some time ago
when It was decided to organize q
workingmen's council for the city, a
resolution was adopted, containing
the following clause:
TT has become a sociaI-poIiti-
cal necessity that the entire adj
ministratlon Of society be dele
gated to the revolutionary or
Eans Of the working class. There
fore, It has been found necessary
now to establish a 'proletarian
dictature' which, among other
things, must 'confiscate all avail
able foodstuffs.'"
The "Jarlsberg og Iarviks Amsti-
dende" comments on this, and the
makers Of the resolution themselves
admit that this il synonymous with
revolution and for that reason they
add that this may presuppose mas
terry and probable employment OF the
armed forces" But in spite OF all
this plain speaking, in spite OF ali
the rabid and flaming articles in the
syndicalist press about the 'revolu-
tionary revolt" which cannot even
await the outcome Of the fall cleo
tions, the sleepy citizens press"
staggers on along its accustomed
and stony road, aids In pouring oil
on the fire by scrapping and biting
in all directions and consoles itself
by saying that the Norwegian people
IL q pacific people which wouldn't
harm a cat. and only desires to have
enough to eat so that 1t can keep on

there's no use Of hur-
rying. It win take some time be-
fore the red flag ia unfolded. We
don't know how long we are to live
and after US comes the deluge!
Indeed, those blessed ones who are
no more, evidently have more than
one reason 20 make fun Of the poor
author OF the song, For Norway,

Elimination Of Foul Strike Rue
Would Meet With Favor by Fans
by JAMES j. CoRBErT.
Copyright. 1917. by King Features Syndicate. 1nc)

drive il 10 some safe portion of close
ly guarded territory alone Is
a mighty task. To menace batter
still further by penalizing him for
the first two fouls--isu't that little
too much?
The foul strike rule was adapted
mainly to prevent the supposed prac-
tice of purposely fouling off balls. 1t
was the contention of the ruling pow
ers of the game that certain players
tried to wear out pitchers by fouling
off as many balls as possible. This
trick, 1t was claimed. slowed up the
game. SO the foul strike rule came
into force. the magnates declaring It's
adoption was for the benefit of the
fans who felt then that games
dragged along too much.
II the rule should be rescinded it
might lengthen the time ofggdmes per-
haps ten minutes or so. But l feel
that SO per- cent OF fandom would
rather sit ten to thirty minutes long
err In a ball park If they could wit
ness free hitting. That's what they
want to see: a few extra minutes L.
inconsequential This lis shown by
the fact that when games drag into
extra innings only a small percentage
Of the spectators leave before the
last man is out
If there was any reasonable srgu-
ment advanced by the magnates for
the retention of the rule, the fans
right now wouldn't be SO insistent
upon IL being changed or killed en-
tirely. But none of the leaders of
the national game has advanced one.
so why retain the rule?

Sporting Notes

The Real Lady is still in Thomas
w. Murphy's stable at Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, and as she is in perfect con-
dition 1t is to be hoped that her own
er, Mr.. A. Fl. Cosden, will reconsider
retiring her at least one season. With
her in the field the race going public
in 1918 would have an opportunity to
see the greatest series Of free-for-alls
that were ever contested in the his
tory of the trotting turf. The class
shown by this Ally in the deciding
heat of the Kentucky Futurity would
lead anyone to believe that she has
more than an even chance to reduce.

The clamor OF fandom for more
hitting becomes louder as the 1918
season approaches. The baseball
magnates long have been aware OF
this desire of the diamond enthusi-
asts but most OF them have ignored
II entirely. The few others insist
that they cannot conceive of any way
in which the rules can be changed to
bring about healthier swat records.
But there Is a way-tinker with
the foul strikes rule! That law has
had more to do with the falling off
in batting prowess than anything else.
With the rule abolished entirely. or
changed so that only one foul can
be called q strike. IL would mean
much more hitting--and 1t would de-
light the persons whose silver con-
tftbutions support the, national pas
time
Just why the magnates steadily re-
fuse to grant the request of fandom
for some change in the rules that
will provoke a greater number of
safe swats Ia hard for the layman to
understand. AS long as the fans are
supporting the game why shouldn't
they be given what they want if
granting their demands does not
cause DaTuSHip 10 inc players OF any
one else?
Recently ! wrote a story concern
ing the terrific hitting that was done
in the 1897 sea son. That year two
men went beyond the 400 mark,
thirteen clouted beyond $50 and six
ty-nine men hit better than 800.
That was in the days before the foul
strike rule. In the years prior to
1891 and from then on through the
1900 season 800 hitters were ex-
tremeiy plentiful. La 1901 the much
criticized rule was put In force and
ever since than fewer and fewer play
ers annually have entered the
charmed circle"

cap without the foul strike rule. To
