to have been the first player to do

him. 1t is rather embarrassing TO
steal a base and find some one there.
Failure to touch a base. and then
being called out usually proYokes
a laugh from every one but TIE
players and managers OF the team
affected.
Fred Merhle, a smart ball player,
failed to touch a base in 1908. In
almost every game in the majors
some player does the same trick.
Some escape, others are caught at
It, II tho neglect TO touch the base
has no effect on the score, it is for

Merkle was unfortunate. His play
cost the New York team the PEN
nant. and with It the right to play
in the world series. That made il a
very costly mistake. That play is
generally regarded as the biggest
bone in baseball, SIMPLY Because it
was 80 costly.
When a player bats out OF order
and is called out for so doing. Il
makes the player feel like taking to
the woods II the player makes a
base hit, II is all the tougher, be-
cause the athletes like their base
hits. II the player happens to make
a home run while hitting out of or

Foul Tossing

Expert foul tossing, with

OF local games last night. out
at the Auditorium the Atlantic

gagged tho Wilmington Knights
OF Columbus. A total OF As fouls
were called on both these teams,

Atlantic c.ty. Thirty OF the
possible IS tries from the To-
foot line wcre made good, VIII
mingJon cosnting II out OF its
p chances and the shore aggrc-
garon 13 out OF its 21 chances.
That's batting at .C25 gait,
which is 10. better than the
average for foul losses generally
with the professional code SOW
ernrng. Here's the individual
outlay:
McNichol-Four out Of four.
Lovell-Five out OF six.
Purcell-TwO out OF two.
Martin-Two out OF two.

McCaughan-One out OF one.
Wolfe-Two out Of three.

Calhoun-Two out OF four.
Regan-Three out OF seven.
Wahls-One out OF three.
Gillespie-One out OF three.
Quinn-None out OF one.
Cashman-None out OF one.
It is easily discerned that sew

There is a runner on first and one
out On the first pitch to the next
batter the runner on first starts to
steal second. The umpire, working
close behind the catcher, interferes
with the throw OF the catcher to
second. Tho ball goes to the out
field. The runner. who had started
for second. continues on his way to
third and is thrownlout at that base.
What is the proper ruling?
When the umpire, working back
OF tho plate, interferes with the
catchcr in making n throw to catch
a base-runner. the ball becomes
dead. The runner, who was retired
at third, should have been sent
back to his original base, first, as
no base can be run on such an in
reference play.

FREIGHT RATE REDUCTIONS.

The action OF tho interstate commerce COM
mission In ordering reduction OF freight rates
will do much to restore public confidence IN
that body The railroads have not evinced
disposition to themselves voluntarily do what
every economist In the land has long recognized
to be necessity, bring transportation rates into
line with tho new standard OF commodity VAL
uos; therefore public opinion will amply sup
port the commission In It's decision.
When commodities OF all kinds we're flowing
TO a market both near and distant which was
hungry for them, prices scared TO unheard OF
heights Under such conditions carrying
charges were not vastly important element
But when the deflatlon movement set In and
commodity prices dropped like plummet,
transportation rates remaining at the peak OF In
flated values, It became impossible for produce
ers to ship commodities to market, either near
distant. and realize in the residue. after
transportation charges had been deducted, any
thing but loss.
Such IL the condition which has existed to
the embarrassment OF industry. for the past
three years II was folly to expect commodity
prices to advance sufficiently to close the gap:
II would have been criminal to have assisted In
an artificial movement to such end. But
one thing remained, that was to bring trans
portation rates into line with the range of
values. This the commission has made a rea-
sonable and very conservative attempt to do in
It's order OF wednesday.
What will the effect be the roads? That In
problem the manage ments of the roads have
to face and solve for themselves The idea It
Is very necessary they get out OF their heads
is that the public OF this republic can be bilked
for an indefinite length of time merely to meet
the imagined necessities OF excessive invest
menta
No matter what the argument to the con-
trary may be. the fact remains that the rail-
way traffic of this and every other country will
| bear Just so much in the way OF charges and no
| more. II the industrial and commercial fabric
! of the United states will not stand rates neces-
sary to meet tho appraised capitalization OF
| American railways. theR two courses are left
for the management of these railways to pur-
sue: Operating expenses must be materially
reduced, and that process only go so far,
| or tho excessive capitalization reduced, and
thero IL ample room for that.

Why the Good Things to Eat Stay

price is terribly high? When you do,
then you should buy your own fruit
and sugar and Jars, put a price on
tho gas and time consumed, and
see what you'd have to ask for a
pint of strawberry preserves and ex-
pect to make q little profit.
1t seems ridiculous, the price ole
would demand, consequently the
jam and jelly supply in most city
homes Is limited. In the country
home there seems no limdt to the
shelves full In the basement. in the
pantries. and In the storm cellar.
Possibly II the farm wife could
sell at more reasonable profit her
shelves would not groaR with SO
much goodness, but people just
seem to think strawberries ano
cherries and peaches grow on a
farm regardless and cost the farm
er nothing, that the wife and chill
dren can pick them and the cost
of picking is nothing. the wife cooks
them so the cost OF cooking Is noth-
ing, whereupon the would-be town
buyer figures out the amount OF
sugar in a pint of jam and thinks a
mighty little more than its cost
ought to be sufficient profit.
Consequently the homemade jam
stays down on the farm"
Because farmers wife loves her
work is no reason why her time is
not worth money. IL 1t is not worth
money to others, then 1t is OF more
value to her family. and she feeds
them well. A hundred pounds OF
sugar in the house means a regular
campaign to her, and as each frui,
