SOLVING COAL PROBLEMS

The Presidents commission to in
vestigate the coal mining industry is
charged with presenting the actual
existing conditions to the public. This
will at least be illuminating, since
there have been so many contradic-
tory statements that the people, be-
between their shivers, have not known
what to believe. Now the operators,
fearful of getting the short end Of any
new readjustment of wages and pric-
es, are voicing a protest, declaring
that they never agreed to any change
beyond the Garfield figures. Dissat-
isfaction among those who live from
the mining of coal does not have the
merit of being original. Meanwhile
coal bins are full, and there is again
plenty of sugar for the bowl, and the
complacent public is in an attitude of
forgiving and forgetting, "while mem
ory watches DER the sad review

On Friday, January 9th, the girls
and bows basket ball teams of the s.
C. H. S. and the coaches, Miss Gall
agher and Mr.. Rowland went to osh-
kosh via auto. In the girls game
Oshkosh was victorious by score of
SIT. The Oshkosh girls were much
heavier than ours and one of their
players was allowed to overguard by
the referee. The boys game was very
exciting. The score was 1413 in fav-
of Of the s. c. H. S.. even tho Oshkosh
played town man in the second half.
Harvey Bower starred as forward and
all the boys played very well in the
second half especially.
On the same night the second and
third boys teams. with Mr.. B. D.
Parker went to Sedgwick and won
both games. At this tims we want
to thank Mr.. Parker very much for
his interest.

which has been very successful. We
hope the second semester will be even

The last week of the first semester
brings high hopes to the Freshmen,
for they think that although they may
not know much, they certainly are not
so green as the Upper Classmen thot

school. Very few of them have need
to worry about passing for they have
worked very diligently.

SENDING LENINE HIS FRIENDS

The arrest of thousands of foreign
born radicals and the work of deport-
ing them, is not to be construed as an
attempt on the part Of the Govern
men. to suppress free speech in the
United States. Our country went to
war for the avowed purpose of carry
ing democracy to the world. Natural
ly this democracy appears in differ
ent forms and shapes, and since it
has been proved that a good many
thousand foreigners are incapable Of
assimilating the democracy Of free
country, the transports of the United
States are being used in sending them
back to European countries, where it
is hoped they will find conditions
much more to their liking, than those
which have disappointed them in
America. America is well rid of
these ingrates, and more stringent i'm
migration laws should keep this class
of people from our shores. Attempts
to make martyrs Of these foreigners
is not likely to meet with any support,
for while there is vigorous protest
in the public mind against the sup
preston of free speech, this senti-
ment does not offer any comfort to
discontented firebrands.

DO WE OWE EUROPE MONEY?

Europe owes the United States ten
billions of dollars, to which is to be
added billion and half dollars in
terest. On top Of this comes the ad-
vice of certain American financiers
and statesmen that We should loan
Europe ten billion dollars more ito re-
habilitate them," and to keep them
from starving.
The total debt of the United States
when we entered the war was less
than one billion dollars. The liquida-
ton Of thirty-two billion dollars, up
on which interest charges must be
paid, within a period Of twenty-five
years, is the practical problem to
which the country's financial minds
are now being bent.
The extravaganza of "Coal Oil
Johnny" and the recklessness with
his money of the famed Drunken
Sailor" are incompatible to the open
handed munificence of Uncle Sam in
his role of stage-manager to the
whole world, and "angel" for all the
actors.
In consequence, with every means
of taxation and revenue now in force
being utilized. the American people
will face a total deficit by June 30,
1921, of approximately six billion dol
lars.
The ultimate reasoning is that val
ues in this country have permanently
increased. The profiteers may be
swatted, and in many instances there
should be stabalizing Of prices. But
just the same this nation has passed
on to a different basis than hereto

SEASONABLE STUFF

'Tis the winter before the summer
when they nominate men to be voted
for in the Fall 1t was not because
there are any hungry Democrats in
the country, after these fat seven
years under their party control, that
the leaders Of that party chartered
two Washington hotels for their
Jackson Day dinner. Be that as it
may, the party chieftains responded

knell, the tocsin of the soul-the din

Bryan was there. and there were also
present all the big and little Mr.. Fix
IL, who brought mild reservations or
stood pat on the treaty. Thus history
has been enriched by another page un-
der the chapter called after jackson.
But the story has not been changed
very much, and the great event in
Democratic party councils reads like
ssasonable stuff that has been un-
loosed many times in the Winter be-
fore the summer when they nominate
men to be voted for in the Fall.
In this season there are red berries
among the green leaves upon the hol-
ly branches. This is to remind US
that Mathew Henry more than two
centuries ago warned posterity that
~many a dangerous temptation comes
TO US in fine gay colors that are but
skin-deep," and while the Democrats
have been eating their red berries at
jackson Day dinners, the Republicans
have been shaking out their green hol-
iy leaves in order that the country
might not for a moment be unmindful
Of the fact that their political bush is
enjoying fine health right now while
Republican Mr.. Fixits are likewise
busy with the affairs that come to
their attention in the Winter before
the Summer when they nominate men
to be voted for in the Fall.
That person would deserve to be
called dull who could not see in the
fact that the two branches of Con-
gress are Republican, and entirely
able to tie Democratic administration

That has been put to me a score of

the question as to whether a run
scored on certain play has been the
point in dispute. My reply has been
that d run cannot score on the play
because the third man out was a
fOrce-out.
1t might be wise for me to state
that force-out can only be made
where 1t becomes necessary for base
runners to ADVANCE TO make room for
the batsman. We will say there are
runners on first and second and 1h.
ba;sman hits safely To left field; That
the batsman can become the possessor
OF nrst base. 1t is necessary that the
other players move up. if they care to
avoid being forced OUT. Should the
runner on nrst base delay leaving his
base. and the bail be thrown to sec
ond ahead of him.. he becomes force
out. Incidentally, while he made room

MANY rams continue to confuse a
pay IN winch two men end up by be-
ing on the sane base: as resolving
'sei INTO 1orce-out of one of the
players. To illustrate, there are run
h"rs on second and third. The catcher
by snap throw picks the runner off
second and there is nothing for him
L" do but dash for third To assist
him in his efforts the runner at third
usually makes break for home, and
always draws "a throw. the play
shutting TO him. In many cases, the
play finally ends by the runner orig
inally on third and the runner who
came up from second both standing
on third base. A great many believe
such an act forces the runner origi-
nally on third However. that is any
about the play. The runner originally
on third is entitled to the base, it
sxempts him from being put out while
standing on it. The touching of the
runner who came out from second i'm
mediateiy retires him, even though he
is standing on the bag. Second base
belongs to him. and If able to get back
10 that base in safety, he is entitled
to it. All one needs to remember, Is
that a force only can occur when a
baseman is compelled to move up be
cause of the hatsman becoming a
base runner.

An important rule, which will elimi-
nate hundreds of disputes this sum-
mer, was the defining by the rules
committee just what is meant by
actually holding the ball. Previously
1t has been understood that il the
ball did not touch the ground 1t was
regarded as held. For example. If a
batter hits fly to an outfielder. and
after the ball strikes the hands OF the
fielder. he 1uggies it a half dozen
times, but finally retains possession
OF 1t, the batter is called out, II at no
time while juggling the ball it touch
ed the ground. A similar viewpoint
was taken on plays which involved
touching base runner with tie ball
in the hands Of a fielder
We Will assume there is runner
on first. He attempts to SOL sec
ond. The catcher's throw to the sec
ond baseman has the runner beaten
ten feet. He slides into the base and
is touched with the ball six feet from
the base. The force of the touch
knocks the ball in the air and the second
baseInan juggles 1t. While the ball is in
the air the runner reaches second base.
After juggling the ball three or four
times. the fielder manages to hold it. In
such cases the runner was called out.
because fielder has been regarded as
having held the ball, II it did not touch
the ground. That viewpoint still holds
good relative to fly balls, but an op-
posite Interpretation is placed on
plays Nhich involve the touching Of a
base runner. In such cases the fielder
making the touch must securely hold
the ball. The moment it bounds into
the air after the touch, it makes the
touch void. The rule covering this
play which has been q disputed point
for years, is settled. 1t reads:
''The ball must be firmly held by
the fielder after touching the runner.
The ball cannot be juggled. even
though the fielder may retain posses
sion Of the ball and prevent same
from dropping to the ground"
For years. plays which involved
touching a base that has been missed
by a preceding runner have always
created much argument as to the
status of any subsequent runner or
runners who touched said base. 1t
has been claimed said runner or run
ners should be called out for tech
nicaIly passing a preceding runner,
because they touched q base which
the other runner failed to touch.
We Will say there are runners on
first and second. The batter hits q
ball on which he is able to make q
home run. The runner on second on
his way to the plate failed to touch
third. The runner on first touched
each base in its proper order, as did
the batsman. The failure Of the first
runner to touch third was noted by
the team in the field and tho umpire.
The ball was thrown to third and
Evening star., 1920-03-02

w hen the ball is caught he dashes
pack for second, and is thrown out
at that base, completing double
play and retiring the side. Does the
run count? 1t always does IL the run
ner from third scores before the third
out has been made at second. There
are those who contend the runner on
second is forced to go back to that
base, which makes a force third out
when he is retired there That, of
course. is folly. He can do as he
pleases, keep on running wild. but
there is nothing that forces him to
go back to second. II he wants to re-

am convinced 1t was because they
felt they had no right to. There is
no denying such an act is deception
and that Is the viewpoint taken by
the rules committee. Next year when

mean something. for such an act con-
stitutes a balk II he does so without
the ball. The new ruling reads:

held there. The umpire properly de-
clared the runner out who missed the
base. The contention in all such
cases has been that the other two
runners in touching a base a pre-
ceding runner failed to touch. tech
nically passed that runner on the base
lines. and should be declared out for

never recognized such a view point.
despite the fact that lack OF definite
wording permitted such an argument.
Never again with the new rule. which
reads:
''The failure Of a preceding runner
to touch base and who Is declared
out therefor) snail not affect the
status of a succeeding runner who
touches each base In proper order"
Wait until the pitcher gets on tho
rubber" has always been the coach
er's warning to base runner when
the coacher was in doubt as to who
had the ball. 1t has been the pre-
vailing opinion that the moment the
pitcher got on the rubber 1t siKnifled
he had the ball, and that it was safe
for the runner to take a lead. While
such has always been the impression,
1t was erroneous. Under the word
