VIM. E. Beach, eldest son Of James

parted this life December 3, 1919, age

three children, Ida, wife Of Louis Hall,
Clyde and Glen. who together with his
mother, one sister, Mrs. B. r. Nogle
and four grandchildren survive him.
His father, one brother and sister
having preceded him. several years
ago. His health became impaired a
year ago last may, at which time he
became nearly blind and from that
time on he battled bravely with dis
ease, always trying to keep up cour>
age and saying but little concerning
his condition. For the last few months
he kept steadily growing weaker every
day until the end came. Last Tuesday
morning his condition became critical
and his suffering was intense; but
still no word of complaint. And then
Wednesday at 2:30 o'clock. just few
moments before death came, he sank
into quiet slumber, and slipped so
peacefully away that his family who
were at the bed side hardly realized
he had crossed the great divide. For
several months he had expressed
willingness to go and Tuesday told
his wife it would seem so good to be
at rest. In his early manhood he
gave his life to Christ and joined the
United Brethren church but later be-
came affiliated with Green's M. E.

Father, you have gone, we shall miss
.e you,
Our hearts are so lonely today,
A gloom our lives will Ger shadow,
Till we come to the end of the way.
One link in our family chains broken,
One voice that was loved, now Is st.
led,
One place in our home is left vacant,
A place that will never be filed.
And yet, midst our grief and the sad
ness,
We think of you, father, at rest;
And say, though our hearts FIJI with
sorrow:
Gods way we know is the best.
And so, as we too reach life's sunset,
When closes our own brief day,
We know you'll be waiting and watch |
ing,
When we come to life's parting way |
And now, as we think of you resting,
We bid you a tender adieu,
And brush back the tear drops that |
gather,
Knowing the Father of all cares for
you.

MEREDITH MAY CHANGE
MIND. ABOUT RETIRING


Ted Meredith announces that he is
through with the cinder path. but that
remains to be seen. Meredith return
ed to Philadelphia the other day after
a year Of service in the Aviation Corps
in France. and tried his legs out at
Franklin Field. The muscles lacked
their old snap. Ted's wind was notwhat
it used to be, and the former cham
pion tired quickly. In disgust Mere
dith took off his toys and told the
world that he was through with the
running game. Meredith really may be
serious in his resolve to run no more,
but many believe that even before
the winter; is. over Ted will. be out
there in front with the pack chasing
just as futilely as it used to chase
several years ago. Other athletes have
come back like Meredith and found
themselves away of form. and. like
Meredith, they have announced their
retirement. but 1t was not long be-
fore they were back on the track.
The lure of the game is too strong
for a man of Meredith's makeup and
age. THERE'S no reason why he should
retire, though there may be a strong
reason why he SHOULD not resume his
national campaigning on the boards
and cinders. ~

TENNIS MEETING
FACING PROBLEMS
National Body Must Settle
Doubles and Voting Power
Questions Friday.
BY w. HI. HoTTEL.

Tennis players and followers of the
game throughout the country are
looking to the meeting of the national
association in New York on Friday to
develop plans that will make 1919 one
of the greatest years in the history of
the sport.
Recent events point to rapid re-
viyal of the game in the Omitted States
and abroad England has restored its
championships. France has challenged
Australia for the Davis cup and Italy
is reported ready to enter the inter-
national matches. Under such eircum-
stances the governing body of the
United States is expected to clear the
tracks for a banner year in 1919 and
to challenge for the Davis cup in 1920.
Even should the Davis cup matches be
played this year the United States
will not enter, feeling it has too big
an advantage over France, England
ana Australia. SO many of whose stars
gave their lives on the field of battle.
This decision has been reached by the
executive committee

TRIP Is MUCH IN DOUBT.
Yale's Easter Base Ball Games Will
Probably Be Abandoned.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. February s.
Doubt about the desirability of an
Easter trip for the Yale base ball
nine this year has been expressed by
the athletic committee, in spite of
the urgent request of the stude mt
body that such a trip be allowed as
usual.
The athletic committee is inclined
to feel that no financial chances can
be taken the coming season, and
that, because Easter trips have
usually been financial failures. the
plan might be abandoned this year.
The undergraduates are eager for
permission for the usual set of
games to be played in the vicinity of
Washington Baltimore and Old
Point Comfort, and many alumni
also favor retaining the custom,
which has been continued for a
quarter century.

MAMAUX NOT IN UNION.
Pitchers Salary Is Cut by Ebbets,
But Not to Sc. 900.

NEW YORK, February 5.-The ru-
NOR that at least six members of the
Robins-Larry Cheney. Otto Miller,
lack Wheat Jimmy Johnston, Dave
Hickman and Al Mamaux-had formed
a union to fight as a unit against re-
auctions in salaries appears to be
without foundation.
President Ebbets knows nothing
about it, and Mamaux, who is sup
posed to. be one of the clique, has de-
MED that he is a member of it, and
also says that. he does not know any
thing about it.
Mamaux has received contract from
the Brooklyn club which calls for less
than 5000, the amount he signed for
last season 1t was reported that Ma
rl1aux has sheen asked to play ball for
$500 this year, but this is wrong.
His 1919. salary, according to Presi-
dent Ebbets. is higher than that.

BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE
IL WITH BILLY EVANS
Being His Opinions on Interesting Features and
SideEghts of the National Game.
WITH BILLY EVANS

Rain and darkness cause more
trouble for the umpire than all the
close decisions that come up in the
ordinary base ball game. Perhaps the
greatest evil that results from rain
or darkness. is the stalling it in
variably causes by the team that
seems sure to get the worst of it.
Once, when managers agreed games
should be suspended at a set time.
as much trouble was caused by such
an agreement as by either rain or
darkness. 3.
Major leagues after many annoy
ing occurrences, have adopted a plan
which removes the premium that
might be placed on stalling tactics. IT
was customary for a team last at
bat, if the other team had gone ahea
in the first of the inning. to try to
consume enough time in dilatory
tactics, that the time limit would be
reached, before the completion of the
inning. That would make it ineees-
sary for the game to revert to even
innings, and erase the. advantage the
club first at bat had gained in the
unfinished inning
If ball team takes it upon itself
to stall. 1T can make an unpleasant
situation for the umpire. Nothing
looks worse than to see a club resort
to every possible scheme to delay the
game. No tactics team could adopt
tend to make an umpire look any
worse In way the umpire is help
less, If one or both clubs stall. His
only weapon is forfeiture. and an UNI
pire takes advantage of that only as
a last resort.
Major league clubs never agree on
time limit for suspending play,
unless it is necessary that limit for
play be set if one club is to be able
to make it's next jump. Every now
and then the schedule calls for a
close squeeze in that respect, neces-
stating that the game be called at a
certain time. if still unfinished. Since
the patrons pay to see a regulation
game, such contests are usually
started at least fifteen minutes ear
lier. Every now and then a game
drags. poor pitching, plenty of hit
ting and many changes taking up a
lot of time. 1t seems such things in

variably happen in games where
there is time limit
In all major league games the UNI
pires watch their watch closely when
a time limit is agreed upon. In the
ordinary well played game it takes at
Working on that; theory no inning is
started unless at least ten minutes
remain of the time fixed as the limit.
When such an inning is started it is
finished, even though the completion
causes the time to run FIVE or ten
minutes past the limit. Such a sys-
tenn removes the premium formerly
placed on stalling. II an inning is
started both teams know ten minutes
remain. Likewise they know the in
ming will be completed. Thus. il the
team first at bat makes enough runs
to send it ahead the other club knows
the inning with be completed, and it
is up to 1t to try to overcome the
lead or. accept defeat It would be an
excellent thing If all minor leagues
agreed on such plan, also in anna
teur and semf-professional games.
Every now and then termination of
a game because OF rain or darkness
causes discussion among the fans as
to the. score or the legality OF the
game. II a game is terminated after
the first half Of the hfth inning has
at bat has scored more runs in four
innings than sthe team first at bat has
scored in five. it becomes a legal
game, and the score shall be the runs
made by, each team. II the umpire
calls the game any time after five in
nings have been completed the score
shall be that of the last equal in
nings played, except when the side
second at bat shall have scored in an
unequal number of innings Cor before
the complication of an unfinished in
ning) at least one more run than the
side first to bat. the score of the game
shall be the. total number of runs each
team has, made.
For, instance, we will assume that at
the start OF the seventh inning the
score is to-. The team at bat does
not score in the first half. The team
second at bat makes a run and has
men on second and third and two
down: when the umpire finds it nee
essary to call the game. Some people
think in such a game the score re-
verts to even innings, but the score
is to 2 in favor of the team second
at bat. That team has made one more
run before the Completion of the sec
ond half. of the inning and is entitled
