There was q long wait before any
rock fell. Marshall and Richard wait
ed for the pour. The whistles blew
again. Then they saw what was
wrong. The morning light showed a
rock weighing several tons which was
resisting the efforts of the pressing
crew. Out Of the gloom sprang other

dam.
Things began to go wild. The men
were growing reckless. They were
sagging toward exhaustion; mistakes
were made. Another rock, as heavy as
the last, was worked toward the edge.
Men were thick about it with crow
bars. They hurried. One concerted
effort. drawing back as the rock top

slow, or too tired. He slipped. The
watchers on the bank saw a flash of
waving arms, heard cry; they had a
glimpse of a blackened face as the

There was a hush of horror; halt.

Soberly Richard signaled for the work

orders that Eduardo was closer to Mar

later to see his chief standing bare

The minute of funeral had to be
pushed aside. The river would not
wait. Train after train was rushed on
to the trestles; wave after wave hit
them. But perceptibly the dam was
steadying. The rapid fire of rock was
telling.
Another ridge of yellow waters rose.
The roll of water came slowly, dwin-

trestle weakly. For the first time The
trestle never shuddered. Workers and
watchers breathed as a unit the first

change. Every eye was on the river

WASHINGTON April 1.-"Ger- many will find that France will insist apon Germany's paying in lumber for the casualties of the French forests which were destroyed during the war;" declares P. s. Ridsdale, secre- tary of the American forestry associa- tion, who has just returned from a tour of the allied countries.
 Mr. Ridsdale went to Europe to in- vestisate forest losses in France, Bel gium, Italy and Great Britain so that the American forestry association might determine how America could help to replace the destroyed forests of Europe, by presenting forest seed to the various governments.
 "In northern France many of the forests" he says, "have been so badly smashed by shell, shrapnel and rife fire, or so badly cut for trench tim bers, fuel wood and other supplies for

The agricultural land lying between the front have been so torn to pieces by shell fire that it is no longer service able for agriculture, and, like the de- vastated forests, will have to be plant ed with forest tree seed so that in years to come the shell holes may be filled by gradual erosion. and the humus of the soil restored Then the replanted forests may be cut down and the land worked over and restored for agricultural use.
 "The peace delegates are now hav. ing prepared data upon the losses in the French forests, and France means to insist upon large amount of cut ting in the German forests so that she may be provided with lumber for re- construction purposes as part of the indemnity which Germany will be re- uuired to pay for the damage which has been inflicted.
 Italy, Belgium and Great Britain will make similar requests, for they, too, have suffered forest losses, and they, too, need lumber in large quan- titles and believe that Germany should supply it to the extent of her ability"

BISHOP DOES NOT WANT
 TO LIVE IN A CASTLE

LONDON, April Whether a bishop should be compelled to live in castle regardless of his own desire for a more modest and less expensive home is question which is agitating the clerical authorities of the diocese of Worcester. Dr. Earnest Harold Pearce recently was consecrated Bishop of Worcester. In the course of sermon it was declared that no bishop really wanted to live in castle and that if the people of his diocese required him to do so, the financial re- responsibilities should be borne by them, not him.

In a major league game several
years ago a play came up that illus
trates an angle Of the game always
a subject for discussion. There was
a runner on third base, one man out.
when the batter hit line drive to
center field. 1t was evident the CEN
ter fielder would have to make bril-
liant play on the ball to capture it.
The runner on third base realized
this, and played proper base ball by
holding his base until he saw what
became of the efforts of the out
fielder
The center fielder. at the crack of
the bat, came tearing in on the ball
at full speed. Instead of carrying
higher in the air as line drives often
do, the ball began to sink. so when
the fielder reached the ball, it meant
catch at the shoe strings. while
running at top speed-one of the most
difficult plays in base ball
The fielder was unable to hold the
ball, but knocked it a consider bic
distance in the air and in front OF
him. After first getting his hands
on the ball. he fell to the ground and
managed to catch the ball before it
touched the ground. completing the
play and retiring the batSman. There
was, of course, no question as to the
legality of the catch. The dispute
that came up hinged on the rights of
the base runner on third in such a
play.
The runner on third held his base
until he saw what sort of play the
fielder would make on it. He realized
if the ball fell to the ground or was
muffed by the fielder he would be able
to score from third, even though he
stuck to the base. He also believed
it would be just as easy to score II
the fielder made a catch of the ball.
er's hands the runner from third
started for the plate. 1t was an easy
matter to score, although the fielder
got to his feet as quickly as possible
and made hurried throw to the
plate. Now for the angle of the play
that started all the trouble:
The runner from third was several
strides over the plate when the catch
er received the throw. The catcher
hurled the ball to the
third baseman, who. thereupon.
stepped on the bag. The umpire in
charge of the game, veteran official,
ruled out the runner on the theory he
had left third base before the actual
of the catch. He contended
when the fielders hands first came
into contact with the line drive it was
not in the nature of catch, merely
a temporary checking of the line
drive. and the actual catch did not
take place until the fielder. after slid
ing on the ground. managed to regain

the base runner had no
right to attempt to advance until

BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE.
BY BILLY EVANS

The ruling caused a dispute and re-
suited in a protested game. Later the
dispute was acted upon by the head
of the league and the game ordered
thrown out and played over. While
the play cited was peculiar one. IT
can be given no different Classification
from the simple caught fly ball. No
one for a minute believed the fielder
did much more than check the ball.
when his hands first came into con-
tact with it, yet that was the incep-
ton of the play. the finish of which
was the possession Of the ball after 1t
had been knocked into the air The
umpire contended the play did not
take on the features of legal eaten
until the ball was handled the second
time and the runner had no right 10
advance until such a time.
It would be an easy matter to do all
kinds of jockeying on every ny pail
hit. if runners were not permitted TO
advance until the ball finally was
held. On every fly ball it would pc
possible for fielder. after getting MS
hands on the ball, to start to ]ugeie
it. and at the same time continue 10
advance toward the infield, until IL
would be foolhardy for the runner
to try to score, even though the catch
finally was completed. 1t simply Would
tend TO make joke of any attempt OF
a baserunner to advance on caught
fly ball. if he were unable to advance
until the ball was securely heio

ball bounding into the air. while ne
tripped and fell to the ground. The
center fielder, who was close by, man
aged to catch the ball before 1t

retired the batsman. There was
runner on third at the time, who
started for the plate the moment the
ball first touched the hands of the
left fielder. 1t would have been ridi.
culous to call him out had the ball
been returned to third base. on the
theory that he had no right to ad-

caught by the center fielder after 1t
had bounded out of the other fielders
hands.
On all fly balls. major league UNI
pires recognize the right OF the Dase
runner who has held his base. to ad-
vance the moment the fly ball strikes

runner has done that. he is immune
from being put out at that pase lot

what afterward happens in connec-
ton with that fly ball
Hundreds Of disputes come up each
year over such plays, and all OF them
could be eliminated if there was q
sentence in the rule book which said
ION all fly balls base runners holding
their bases shall have the right to ad-
vance the moment the ball strikes the
hands of the fielder making the play.
