WANTS PERMIT TO STEAL
Judge Landis Asked to Speed
Up Baseball by Allowing Batter
to PiIfer First Base.
By the Associated Press. }

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Speeding up
baseball by permitting a batter to steal
first base is a suggestion that has
Judge K. NJ. Lands. baseball commits
sioner, guessing today.
The commissioner received a letter
from Newton c. Gillian, a Kansas
City, No., attorney in which he sug-
gests that the theft privilege of a
batter offsets the Scientific pitching
which the attorney thinks slows up
the game from a fan s standpoint.
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 average fan wants to see ''men
running the bases" and a change in
the rules that will permit a fleet
footed player to pilfer the initial
sack, he thinks, is the very thing need
ed to speed up the pastime.
Judge Lands and local baseball
men, however, are puzzled as to lust
how a batter would be able to steal
first base with the pitcher having his
eyes constantly on him. Mr.. Gillian
is clear in his statements that fans
want to see men running the bases
but his letter offered no definite sug-
gestion as to how base running can
be accelerated. Simply giving a batter
permission to steal first, Judge Lands
believes, will not serve to speed up
the game.
Kansas Cityan Explains.
Kansas City, Feb. 15.-In state
ment to the Associated Press today
Mr.. Gillian explained his suggestion
to Judge Lands of letting the batter
attempt a steal of the first sack Ac-
cording to Mr. Gillian, rules should
be made that would entitle the batter
to attempt a piifer of first base in
case of a passed ball" or if the
outs were running a man between
the bases. Also Mr.. Gillian thinks
that if one of the fielders should in
some manner throw the ball away
the batter should be entitled to- the
attempted steal.

In a statement announcing his

possible for the Republicanism of
Michigan to nominate senatorial
candidate practically without "expen-
diture of money Adding that it was
their duty to do so he expressed con-
fidence that Republicans of the state
would determine that the primary in
September should be $50 free from
abuses of every character and con-

A LITTLE DRY.

The city police say that the heavy
rains have seriously interfered with
making liquor in the country, and
the roacN have prevented its delivery
to town, hence the lack of cases in
the Mayors court dZcing the past few
days, and the unusual soberness of
the people.
This shows that those who haven t
the stuff can get along without it.,
while so1le who have it around can
not withstand the temptation of
drinking. Moral it is a great deal bet
ter not to have it around.
But it is a strange anomaly that
during this wet spell some folks
should be SO dry, and that they are
compelled to get on the water wagon,
when it is wet enough to float a boat,
and that with water, water every
where, like the ancient mariner, they
have not the kind they want to drink.

Washington, March 3.-President
Usher of string of newspapers three
of which are in Indiana have reached
an understanding about the political
contest between Sen. Harry New and
which throws an interesting light on
what the presidential attitude will be
toward Republican primaries through
out the nation this year.
Mr.. Shaffer came to the White
House merely to pay his respects but
inevitably the conversation turned to
Indiana politics. The President is
warm friend of Senator Harry New
who is seeking denomination and in
his heart hopes New will win. Mr..
Shaffer is a friend of both Senator
New and former Senator Beveridge
but believes the interests of Indiana
and the nation would be served bet
ter by the nomination and election of
Albert Beveridge.
For weeks it has been said in In
diana that President Harding would
throw the full weight and influence
of his position to Harry New and
take an active part in the primary
ion EHv~in dc Of tor
Beveridge have hoped Mr.. Harding
would remain neutral and preserve
party harmony.
The President sketched to Mr..
Shaffer the origin of his deep inter-
est in Harry New, their many years
of cOmpanionship in the United States
Senate and their earlier political re-
lations. He made it plain that it
would be ungracious of him to take
sides against Mr. New. On the other
hand, the President said it was his
best judgment that the people of
Indiana-the Republican party as
whole in that state-should decide
whether they want Harry New or Al
bert Beveridge and he was willing to
abide by their judgment. In other
words, Mr.. Harding promised his full
support to Mr.. Beveridge if the latter
is nominated.
Mr.. Shaffer not to be outdone and
insisting that the fight was on
high plane of intellectual values to
the State and the nation of two con-
ttending candidates promised that if
Harry New were renominated he
would give him his hearty support in
the campaign for election.
