memorial PLAN
TO Be REVIVED
PaOneSSa FaVOrS Public Forum
TO Determine Sentiment

A movement started among the
city's ex-servicemen to revive agl-t
tation for a permanent war memo
rial has the hearty approval of
Mayor A. NJ. faonessa and he is
planning a public forum TO give all
an opportunity to express prefer
ence as to che type of memorial.
This announcement was made this
afternoon at the office Of the mayor.
The proposition may And Its way in
to the common council chamber to-
night In the form OF a resolution
asking for the reappointment of a
memorial committee.
Two years ago a committee was
named and an architect engaged. A
shaft with a circular base was de-
signed and with 1t were TO be con-
structed two farmonizing bath
houses, the entire memorial to be
placed at the top of Walnut Hill
park near the wadlng pool. The
cost was estimated at s225,000, II
the most lasting materials were to
be used. When the proposition
reached the city meeting board It
met its doom and nothing has been
done since.
The idea Of a permanent memo
rial first took form when Mayor
Paonessa suggested 1t in an annual
message to the common council. In
the message which followed its de-
feat, the mayor expressed regret
and suggested that no time be lost
In again bringing the proposition to
the fore.
During the week group OF ex-
servicemen visited the mayor to
sound out his sentiment toward a
REVIVAL ofshgitation for the memorial
and were so pleased with the
mayors enthusiasm that they decid-
ed to proceed without delay.
The mayer Is firm believer in
public forums and has frequently
recommended such gatherings. Since
there is no longer city meeting
board, he belives the present pro-
position Is one that should first
come before the public for an in
formal discussion. In this way, he
explains, The wish of the majority
may be determined and 1t will avoid
the possibility of committee do
voting long time to study and pre-
paration Of a plan, only to have It
rejected,

LEAGUE
CHIEF CLEARS
TWO RULES
President Williams Interprets
InfieId Fly and Balk
Laws

LOS ANGELES, April 1O.-Two
new rules, or interpretations Of
rules, have been promulgated among
the Pacific Coast League umpires
by President Harry A. Williams.
In these interpretations President
williams has reversed the usage
prevailing in other leagues, but he
Is convinced that 1t is d departure
which will prevent many lihisunder-
standings and prevent numerous
inextricable situations 4 IA will
result in rendering the game more
ineligible and give it greater
clarity.
= In his new interpretations he has
ruled that the ball Is dead" fol.
lowing q balk by the pitcher and and
that the field umpire shall call
has been done by the plate umpire.
Heretofore when balk was called
on the pitcher, the latter some
times went ahead and delivered 1t
to the batsman before the man or
men on Bases had advanced. 1t was
then ball, strike or hit in
case the batsman made a fair hit.
But there always was the dan
ger that the batsman, for instance,
might drive q gruunder to the
shortstop, who might toss the ball
ITO second to force the man com.
ing from first. That would result
in no play, as the runner on first
was entitled to second, anyway, and
therefore could not be forced. Yet
the batsman, by reason. of the at.
= VNrte ~ afp11
first safely, where otherwise he
would easily have been retired.
Baseball men long have regarded
this rule as charged with dynamite
and impossible situations, and for
that reason President Williams de-
cided to take drastic action and
have the ball declared dead fol-
lowing a balk. That is, 1t cannot
be delivered to the batsman follow
ing the ballS until the man or men
on bases have advanced.
There are a Number Of reasons
why it is desirable for the base UNI
pire to call enfield flies" For one
thing, the base or field umpire is in
better position to judge whether
the bali win aIight on infield or
outfield territory. Another is that
his voice can be more plainly heard
by the infielders and base-runners,
and much possible confusion
avoided.
It was four years ago when writ
ing baseball in New York that
President Williams became inn
pressed with the desirability of such
q change. During a game at the
Polo Grounds the plate umpire called
an enfield fly" In the general din
and excitement the runners did not
hear him and neither did the base
umpire. The resuIt was an en-
tirely wrong decision by the base
umpire, and a play so involved and
inextricable that it was necessary
to have the game played over at q
subsequent date.
Baseball men who have been APP
prised of these two new interpreta-
tons have without exception de-
clared that they are certain to i'm.
prove the game.

AS AFTER PORTLAND FIRST
BASEMAN NAMED POOLE

PHILADELPHIA, April TO-
While nothing definite regarding
first sacker to replace the injured
Joe Hauser other than that out
fielder Bling Miller will cover the
sack, has been forthcoming from
Manager Connie Mack OF the Ath-
letics, the lean leader is reported
to be angling for a minor league
star
This man is said to be Jim Poole
brilliant initial sacker guardian Of
the Portland Club, of the Pacific
Coast League last season. At pres
ent Poole isn't in any league, being
a holdout on Portland.
During the winter he and EN-
NETT Mccain, Of this city. were re-
ported sold to Brooklyn but the
deal never materialized.
Poole is a hard hitter. He COM
piled an average OF 1852 in 1S2
games last season, smacking out
SO home runs among his safeties.
Miller is reliable enough but It is
a question il he can play the posi-
ton day in and day out.

Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, ma.

eighteen holes. When Mrs! Hurd
won at Providence last fall she
played twice around, the course to
beat Miss Mary Brown. the tennis
star.
"Thirty-six holes are necessary to
neutralize what might be called an
apparently uncanny run Of bad
kicks which a player may expert
ence in a single round" said Mrs.
Hurd. ct also consider thirty-six
holes essential to counterfeit what
may be known as a putting streak. !"
