RUNNER CALDWELL QUITS.
Former Cornell Star Announces His
Retirement From Track.

PHILADELPHIA, March 11.--If Ted
Meredith intends to stage a real
comeback" he will have TO get down
to strict training
This is the view of track experts,
including Lawson Robertson, the
Penn coach. in passing Judgment on
Ted's weak performance in the ma
tionsl senior indoor championships at
Brooklyn Saturday night. when the
once Incompatible flyer quit before
the finish was reached.
In justice to Meredith it was said
he was suffering from a bad cold and
had considerable difficulty In breath
ing, but the fact remains he should
not have gone in the race In such con-
dition. say the track dopesters.
In talking over the meet yesterday
Robertson said there were a number
of surprises. Dave Caldwens failure
to finish better than fourth in the
60G-yard run was a keen tiisappoint-
ment to the former Cornell man, es-
pecially in view of his victory In the
Milirose "6e9" three weeks ago. Fol-
lowing the race Caldweff told Robert
son he was through with running, as
ne intended to go back on the farm
and probably would never be in con-
dition to do any more running.

BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE
BY BILLY EVANS.

Perhaps nothing creates more trou-
Bile for the umpire than a play in
which he is forced to call a base run
ner out when said runner is not
touched by the ball. In most cases
such a decision is reached because the
| base runner, in order to avoid the
touch, has run considerably out of the
line. Such plays resolve themselves
purely into questions of Judgment.
Seldom do call a player out for run
ming out of line without having some
player on the side that has been
penalized tell how a week or so pre-
Vious such and such a player ran
twice as far out of the line and got
away with it.
am often asked how I reach a de-
cIslon on such plays. l hardly know
Just now TO reply TO such a query, be-
| cause, as I have said. it is merely a
matter of judgment, and seldom do
all uHpires agree in certain situa-
tions. have always believed the UNI
pre- who is strict on his interpreta-
ton OF such play and makes up his
mind quickly is the umpire who will
escape with the least criticism. Moth
ing makes an umpire look worse than
eluded the touch and reached his OBJ
tective. The wise umpire calls the
runner out in the thick of action, at
the moment when the base runner is
making his most strenuous effort to
avoid the touch. Make It at that rlo-
ment, ride through with your de-
cision. and you have selected the casi-
est solution of the runniag-out Of
line dispute.
The rule covering plays in hich
base runner runs out of line to
avoid being touched is specific, yet
the play is always trouble maker,
because snap judgment is involved in
reaching a conclusion as to whether
the runner did or did not overstep
the limitations. To hesitate in ar
riving at a decision only tends TO
complicate things. Here is the rule
on the play:
The base runner is out, if in running
from first to second base, from second
base to third or from third base to home
he run more than three feet from a di-
rect line between a base and the next
one in regular or reverse order to avoid
being touched by ball in the hands of
a fielder"
Three feet is not a great distance in
which to outguess fielder who has
the bali in his hands ready to make the
touch Therefore, / have seen but few
plays where a base runner has managed
Evening star., 1919-03-11

to avoid such a touch. without making
8 detour that took him outside of his
limitations of three feet. In practically
every play Of that sort that has ever
come under my jurisdiction / always
have called the runner out the moment
he eiuded the fielder who was waiting
for him with the ball. Il is also impor
tant to make known your ruling in loud
tones and with much gesture. II is one
play where / believe il is wise to imme-
diately let the world in on your ruling
by an emphatic waving OF the arm.
The rule l have quoted covers def
nitely the action of the base runner
after he reaches first base. Every now
and then it becomes necessary to rule a
player out for running outside the three
foot line before he reaches first base.
The rule is just the same on this point,
Such a situation is far more common
than plays between the other bases.
Batters hitting a ball which they be-
lieve the catcher viii handle always
tance outside the prescribed lines, with
"a hope they may be able TO tangle up
the play and get away with it. This
happens most frequently on bunted
balls.
On such plays as this / have adopt
ed rather contrary theory TO that
followed when a base runner runs out
of line after reaching FIRST.
In running out of line plays after
reaching first l advised haste in ar
riving at a decision. In all plays
made at first base on the batsman /
am always slow about reaching a
ruling. often a runner may violate
the rule, but he affects the play In no
way. so l follow il closely, and If
everything goes through in approved
fashion and the player is retired. let
it happen in the natural way. But the
moment I see the action of the run
ner is certain to interfere with the
first baseman I Immediately rule the
batsman out. A player is not always
out of line when he is hit by thrown
ball while on his way to first. In
perhaps so per cent of the cases the
trouble is due to faulty work on the
part of the man handling the ball.
Usually in such cases a loud howl is
made that the runner was away out
of line.
When a batter makes a base hit
there are no limitations placed on the
manner in which he may run to frst
base. In some cases the batsman
may run six feet or more out of the
prescribed line, in order SO to turn
first base that he will be in direct
line to advance to second, in case he
believes there is a chance for him to
reach that base.

Sterilization Of public utility cor

action is aimed at in recommends
tions made to President Wilson by
representatives of several depart
ments before his return to France
The recommendation include creation
of a board to take the place of the
national War Labor Board, which in
the near future will be dissolved.
1t would be the business of this
board to determine, il possible, the
merits of applications by public utii-
ity corporations for permission to
charge higher rates. Its decisions
would not be binding. but it is be-
lieved they would furnish basis to
municipalities for action.

Avoids Local influence.

It is pointed out that a board so
created and acting in a voluntary ca
pacity would be able to give advice
and reach conclusions unhampered by
local prejudice or local influence of
any kind.
This matter was limited al in a re-
port adopted by the conference OF
mayors and governors last week. 1t
aroused a great deal of opposition,
especially from the mayors of Mil
waukee and Minneapolis, who de-
manded that the federal government
keep its hands off local affairs.
Although the federal government
would not according to the proposed
constitution of the proposed board, act
in any other than an advisory capacity
some municipal authorities see in it a
plan to extend federal authority over
purely municipal matters.
