The call comes from National
Democratic Headquarters for more
funds. Money in the party's treasury
Is short. The Democratic party Is de-
pending on the people. by small and
universal subscriptions. to furnish
the "sinews Of war" for the Presi-
dental campaign. Much depends on
the individual citizen as to success
at the polls in the November cleo
tions. We are asked to "chip in" our
dollars and other small amounts in
such numbers and with such prompt
ness that we can Offset the work be-
ing done for the Republican party by
means OF its immense "slush fund"
Of millions, contributed by the big
Interests in fabulous sums. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose that where
one man, or one big interest, con-
tributes his or it's thousands to the
Republican fund. that man or that
corporation expects something back
from the party and the government
after the election.
Ours Is the popular subscription
method, in the interest OF popular
government-"Equa rights to all;
special privileges to none
Do you believe in that? Well. how
much do you believe in it?

Eddie Collins doesn't overlook many
bets on the ball field. He makes
careful study of every play that Is out
| of the ordinary. If he has his doubts,
| nothing pleases him more than to
| bring it up for discussion, at such a
| time when he believes he can get an
! opinion from a number OF dinerent
| sources. Just to illustrate that Eddie
| is always wide awake, heads up' Wheh
| anything unusual takes place.
In a game at Detroit last summer
! Collins pulled a ball down the right
| field line a mile minute. NO one was
on the bases at the time, and the base
| umpire was standing In ms usuai
place. about ten or fifteen feet back OF
| first base and about eight or ten feet
| in foul territory. The drive of Collins
| hugged the foul line closely and then
| struck the bag with thud. The nrst
| baseman didn't have the slightest
chance to make play on the ball.
After hitting the bag it veered on into
! foul territory. Try as he might-the
| base umpire, standing in foul terri
| tory was unable to get out OF the way
of the ball. 1t struck his leg, roiled
short distance and went dead. Col
Inns easily reached first on the play.
Had not the ball struck the umpire,
( he would have made at least two
bases. and possibly three.
| The following day, just before the
A
| out for a discussion Of the play. l
! told him that the moment the ball
| struck the umpire it became dead,
| that he was entitled to first base. That
meant that had he been able to make
more bases he would not have been
allowed to advance. neither would an
out at first been permitted. Collins
had evidently been giving the posi-
bilities of the play considerable
thought that evening. because he
nnly xu-ff he hot
expected. 1t involved peculiar
wording of the rule. which. in a sense.
did not cover the play as it had come
up in the game of the day before.
The rule on this play, that is, the
only rule that could apply, says: THE
batsman becomes base runner If a
fair hit ball strike the person or cloth
ing of the umpire on fair ground" In
this particular case the umpire was
hit by a fair ball in foul territory
since the rule did not explicitly cover
the play in question, an argu-
ment might be made that the ball was
in play and the base runner could ad-
vance at his peril.
l explained to Eddie that the rule on
this play was made when there was
only one umpire in charge of the game
That since there was no chance for an
umpire to be hit by a batted ball that
was fair in foul territory. that no
thought was given to such a play
since it was impossible to come up
with the single umpire system. Now,
however. with the double umpire sys-
tenn it can come up.
BY a process of deduction 1 tried to
show Eddie why only first base should
be granted the batsman. Section of
rule 55 says that the base runner
shall return to his base without liza
bility to be put out. II the umpire
be struck by fair hit ball before
touching fielder. in which no bases
shaH be run unless necessitated by the

Although critics are almost unani-
nous in picking the Reds to repeat
in the National League, the fate that
befell the Boston Braves in 1915, after
breezing through their own circuit
and then mopping up with the Mack
men in the world series, may be their
lot unless some of the athletes set
tie down or Manager Moran compels
them to by the use of stern disciplin-
airy tactics. Ever since the Nationals

dences of gross laxity in the matter

of observing training rules have been
apparent. Despite the supposedly
arid condition Of the country, the
stuff that cheers and next day jeers
able in price in Florida, and several
of the Reds took advantage Of con-
ditions by staging a series of parties
that rendered them unfit to attend to
the business of trying to get into con-
dition to play ball. Some of them still
are showing the effects of their dis
regard for the first principles of train
ing. and this in 4 measure accounts
for the relatively poor showing the
Moranmen have made in their expe-
ditions to date, in which they have
won only six while getting bested in
eleven games.
There is no cause for criticism of
the habits of a majority of the Reds.
But enough of the regulars of the
array have strayed from the straight
and narrow seriously to handicap the
club. Moran's failure to hold tight
er rein on his men has occasioned
considerable surprise among those
who have been in a position to OBJ
serve conditions. He does not be-
lieve In hedging his athletes in with
a lot of rules and regulations regard
ing hours, ETC., but expects them all
the matter of taking care of them
selves. Overconf1dence is the one
thing the Reds have been warned to
guard against, and if their dallying
with forbidden fruit Is an indication
of a too cocksure attitude in regard
to the forthcoming campaign those
who have wagered on them to breeze
through again in John Heydler's cir
cult would do well to hedge bit.
Present indications make 1t seem
likely that at least three players IN
the American League will not play
this year with the clubs they were
lined up with at the start OF the
training season. Ping Bodie is re-
ported to be in Dutch with the man

Eddie Foster, who is playing a fine

Both Of the last two named are !e1t-

prowess could be fitted in Boston's outer

no runs shall be scored unless all the
bases are occupied. 1t will be noticed
that this rule simply says, if the UNI
pire is hit by fair batted ball, and
says nothing as to whether it is in fair
or foul territory. There is in a sense
slight conflict. a chance for an
argument, as proven by this unusual
play that came up in a game in which
was one of the officials. At the re-
cent meeting of the rules committee in
Chicago this play was brought up for
discussion, and it Is now definitely
covered in the playing code, as it
