lance from the home plate to first
base which is 80 feet, double that dis

a mental picture of the short distance

ukeHome Runs Are
&Bred by Short Field,
Says Noted Umpire

The shortest point from the plate
to the left field bleachers is only a
trifle greater. As the lines diverge
toward centerfield, the playing ter.
ritory becomes much larger.
POLO GROUNDS BREEDS
FLUKE HOME RUNS
However, it is possible to get more
fluke home runs at the Polo Grounds
than on any other major league park
| have ever worked.
Right here I want to say in be-
half of "Babe" Ruth that he has
profited only slightly as a result Of
such condition. T have on the
very best of authority that only
three home runs made by him at the
Polo Grounds this year have been
of flukey nature. That is, balls
that just cleared the stand at the
shortest point in right field, hi.
that would have been outs on the or
binary ball park.
These unusual conditions at the
Polo Grounds very often result in a
game being decided other than on
its merits. AS a matter of fact a
four-run lead is nothing to brag of
at the Polo Grounds. have seen
such leads wiped out almost in a
twinkling of an eye, by couple OF
passes, an error, and then high
fly to right or left, which barely
cleared the stands, while the fielder
stood watching the course of the

LONDON, March 5.-News con- corning uprisings in Russia con. tinue conflicting but today's reports reiterated and enlarge upon news of a mighty upheaval throughout the nation. Newspapers print Helsing- fors despatches that the Soviet authorities have been overthrown and that Moscow and Petrograd both are in the hands of the revo- lutionaries.
 The Soviet fortress at Kronstadt appears to have fallen to the insur- gents and 4evolutionaries are said to be holding Soviet Commissioners as hostages. No late word of the fate of Nicolai Lenine, Bolsheviki Premier, and Leon Trotsky, Minister of War, has been received although cespatches earlier in the week, since denied, said they were in full flight toward Crimea where the Boi- sheviki troops were still reported loyal .s.,
 White flags are flying from : the Winter Palace in Petrograd, ac- cording to the Helsingfors des- patches, while Moscow and Petro- grad garrisons not only have refused to fight but apparently arc joining the rebels.
