LET BATTER TRY
TO STEAL FIRST.
Lands Is TOLD

Chicago, Feb. 15.-(By the Asso.
ciated Press up base.
ball by permitting a batter to steaI
first base is a suggestion that has
Judge keneSaw NJ. Lands, baseball
commissioner, guessing today.
The commissioner received a let
ter from Newton C. Gillian, a
Kansas City, Mo-, attorney, in
which he suggests that the theft
privilege of a batter would offset
the scientific pitching" which, the
attorney thinks, slows up the game
from a fans viewpoint. The "ins''
and outs" of the game are not
properly balanced, according to Mr..
Gillian, who believes that the sci
entlfic pitching often makes an in
ming a tame affair, with the bats
men being moved down one, two.
three.
Let the batter steal first base. ="
wrote the Missouri lawyer, and
this advantage of a pitcher over a
batter will be eQualized."
Mr.. Gillian says that the aver
age fan wants to see men running
the bases" and a change in the
rules that will permit a fieet-footed
batter to pilfer the initial sack. he
thinks, is the very thing needed to
speed up the pastime.
Judge Lands and local baseball
men are puzzled as to just how a
batter will be able to steal first
base with the pitcher having his
eyes constantly on him. Mr.. Gill
ham is clear in his statement that
fans want to see men running
bases" but his letter offered no
definite suggestion as to how base
running can be accelerated.
Simply giving a batter permits
sion to steal first, Judge Lands
believes. will not serve to speed up
he game.

JUNIOR SAINTS
BEAT GENESEO
IN CLOSE GAME
Henry County Boys Play Below
Usual Standard and Lose by
Is to IS Score.

| ST. Ambrose Juniors got revenge
! for an earlier season defeat by win
ming from the Geneseo high school
quintet last night, 16 to Is, in a
great game played at the college
gymnasium in Davenport. The
game was clearly fought, few per-
sonal fouls being called against
either contestant The Juniors dis
played a better eye for the basket
than the Henry county aggregation.
Geneseo failed to show the form
that has characterized the majority
Of. its previous games and its fight
ing spirit was not up to par.
Notwithstanding, the game was
close from whistle to whistle. The
charges of Father Adrian were at
no time more than four points in
the lead. The difference would
have been overcome and passed if
the goddess of luck had felt a lit
tie more kindly toward the Gen
eseo lads, for numerous shots were
dangerously close to scores.
Geneseo took the lead at the start
when Captain Schultz dropped the
ball in on a free throw. St. Am
brose tied it minute later, but
Geneseo came right back with a
field basket. The young Saints du-
plicated this and then slipped over
point by free throw. Schultz
tied the count at four each with
free throw as the first period end
ed.
In the next period st. Ambrose
assembled seven points against
three for the Henry county repre-
sentatives. These were due to two
field baskets by Costello and three
free throws.
In the third period the battling
was on even terms. both teams reg
istering three points. A field bas-
ket by Peanuts" Schultz in this
period was a feature of Geneseo's
playing. The quarter ended II to
10 in favor of st. Ambrose.
Stage Rally.
At the start of the last quarter
Geneseo played aggressively and
succeeded in overcoming two points
against them by free throws. Then
Hippler contributed a basket. knot
ting the count, but the strength of
the Juniors began to tell at this
stage Of the game.
Costello who corraled 10 of the
16 points made by the Ambrosians,
was easily the star of the evening.
Besten and Herlehy were strong
factors in the defense of the win
ners. while Hippler played a strong
game at guard for the Geneseo
team. Captain Alfred Schultz made
good on seven free throws out of
eight chances for Geneseo. Two
field baskets by Peanuts" Schultz
and one by Weisjahn completed the
scoring for Geneseo.
Geneseo is far from disheartened
by the defeat. In fact. it makes
the team all the more determined !
to upset Davenport Saturday night. |

Young Wife Says Husband, Knee on Her Chest, Forced Her to Sign Paper Accusing Her Aged
 Guardian Uncle of Abuse.

New York.-Staid citizens of BoS- ton as well as of this fair village, debs and subdebs, are getting thrill after thrill as the bones in a dozen family closets are rattling loudly and ominously.
 The long buried family skeletons started on their rampage about the time the tive-months' romance of young Jack SanbOrn and his bride, Eleanor Montgomery Sanborn, blew up with a bang that was heard from Cape Cod to Sandy Hook.
 Sanborn is a son of Oren Sanborn, of coffee fame, and his bride was the ward of w. Robert Montgomery, for mer president of the Hamilton Nation al bank here.
 Marriage Made to Order.
 Their marriage was made to OrGer The SanbOrns were desirous of mar rying off their son, according to re ports, and Montgomery, his past un- known, was anxious to see the girl married.
 The eighteen-year-olds bride charges that Sanborn deserted her after five months of welded life
 Then came more scandal. In pos session of tiie Sanborn lawyers is a letter signed by Eleanor in which she charges that her aged guardian uncle abused her before her marriage
 But says she:
 T signed that papar because Jack held me by the throat, put his knee on my chest and threatened to kill me unless l would write what he told me. He wanted to get S10O,000 out cf my pncle."
 When Uncle Robert heard about the letter and the charges it contained he threw them both out on their own re- sources. Up to that time he had been supporting them.
 Now Eleanor is living in a hotel here with girl friends.
 Uncle Refuses co Forgive.
 Ste has tearfully begged her uncle to accept her version of the charges and forgive her but he has shown no sign of Selenting.

 A writer for the News (presumably one of the other sex) is at a loss to account for the exodus of so many of the sterner sex from Hol- brook with the bathing re- sorts of California. As an objective point, it seems to me that an analysis of this great issue confronting the civic welfare of HolbroOk would show first that there is a great deal of unfinished business at these resorts which of course accounts for the Business" men gather ing there to attend to it. The second reason is pro- bably due to our California bathing laws, which make it compulsory for all members of a certain we'll known sex to wear while bathing a suit known as the Irreducible Minimum one piece bathing suit.
