Determining. Length of
Game by the Stop Watch

While there are one or two who
have expressed themselves as not in
favor of changing from the old system
of determining the length of a game
by the stop watch to the number Of
plays. 1t is interesting To note that
the spectators and coaches who were
in attendance at the Brown Boston
game at Providence when the play
system" was given its first tryout,
are loud in their praise of the expert
ment and favor its continuance. Coach
Charles l.. Whelan liked it so much
that he wants 1t adopted for future
Boston university games Like the
numbering Of the players. it IS going
to take considerable time to show
whether it will be universally adopted
or not but those who are advocating
It and those who have seen Il tried
believe that 1t will be a part of the
rules Of the game some day.

Catcher's Bow as Run
Scored Proved Costly

Frank Bancroft, late business man
ager of the Cincinnati Reds, while
manager Of the famous Providence
Grays, was experimenting with
young catcher OF no mean ability.
While catching a game one day,
the score a tie in the twelfth inning,
the young catcher ran far back to
the right Of the grand stand and made
a phenomenal catch Of foul fly. The
audience. naturally approaching the
catch, began to applaud and shout
for the young man. He at once turned
to the stand and, removing his mask
and glove, made several elaborate
bows In appreciation of their plaudits.
In the meantime the man on third
base, seeing him bowling and scraping
to the audience, broke for home and
won the game.
On returning to the clubhouse after
the game, Bancroft gave the young
catcher a tongue flashing for noticing
the audience and letting the man
score. The young fellow. nervous and
excited admitted to Bancroft he was
a little off, in the play

BRIGHT FUTURE.
CARE Of CAR BRAKES
WILL CUT CRASHES

A first consideration in railroad en-
cheering is regarding the braking IA
cilities Of the train of cars. With
out effective brakes serious accidents
could hardly be avoided. The same is
true Of street cars. Coming into the
newer realm Of automotive transporta-
ton the manufacturers Of motor We
hicles have gone 10 extreme lengths 70
produce a machine that can be readily
kept under control through the use OF
adequate braking mechanism. They
have spent fortunes in scientific study
and research so that the automobile
could be turned over to its owner rs
well equipped with brakes as it Is
humanity possible TO equip it.
If there continue to be serious acct
dents due to motor cars getting out Of
the control of their owners, it viii br
difficult 10 condemn the manufacture
for any damage that may result. The
fault may be laid to carelessness on
the part OF the driver. Either he did
not make sure the brakes were func-
tioning properly or did not apply the
brake at the right time and in the
right way. Motorists owe il to folks
in general as well as to themselves 70
exercise caution in the care and use Of
brakes.
