BASE BALL SECRETS
BY Sol Metzger

Far too often batters who single
TO the outfield with II runner on
second are caught blindly at sec
ond by simple play of base ball.
AS they round first they see the
fielder peg the ball home to catch
the runner heading there from sec
ond Then they forget everything
and go for second at full speed.
whereupon an infielder seeing that
the runner going home can't be put
out, cuts the throw down and pegs
the ball to second for a putout.
The illustration shows the right
way for the batter to make such a
play. AS he rounds first he must
take in the situation and hold that
bag in case the throw from the out
field is cut down by an infielder.

The Factory Least Affected

From the Passaic Daily Herald.
wooien and worsted mills had been
in a trade slump for many months
when the strike came. Fashion had
turned from woolens to silks, rayons
and fur for women's wear. The silk
business, long depressed, had picked
UP wonderfully. For eight months
past looms had been humming. Then
the wooden and worsted strikers
pulled out" more than half of the
silk-dyeing employees of the United
Piece Dye Works in Lodi Almost at
the same time, the turn came in the
silk business. Retailers found that
silks were piling up on their shelves.
Buyers stopped buying. Mills stopped
producing cloth as they had in
those eight busy months. And so the
dyers, like those in Lodi, found their
business falling Off.
For that reason. the United Piece
Dye Works suffered least Of all the
employers affected by the Passaic dis
trict strike.
The walkouts eliminated those work.

Now the United Piece Dye Works
claims it has men enough to carry on
all the work 1t has orders for, and
many men who went on strike are be-

the average slayer regains his liberty
in a few years.
Delaying trials is one of the ex-
pedients of the criminals. Proceed
ings are protracted until witnesses are
lost to the prosecution and frequently
mistrials result. In this city today
there is in progress the third trial of
a man accused of a murder which was
committed, either by him or somebody
else. seven years ago. He was con-
victed once. was granted a second
trial which resulted In a divided jury,
and Is now about to be tried for the
third time.
Judge kavanagh sees ray OF light.
He predicts that 1.-The tenderness of
technicality which has so long shielded
and encouraged the criminal is about
to meet the awakening anger of an
endangered public" There is a de-
cided awakening of interest in this
problem. 1t is evident in the formS-
ton of committees Of citizens to study
the crime problem, to find means OF
speeding court processes, to insure
quicker convictions In case of assured
guilt, and to stiffen penalties upon
conviction. The evil of easy hail is
recognized and has been attacked.
Respect for human life Is at low ebb
in this country today. This is due to
the comparative immunity Of the slay-
er. It is due likewise to the tendency
OF the law and the court to moderate
the penalties for homicide. The spec
tacle of $4,000 murderers at large is
one that shocks even those who hold
to the thought of mercy toward evil
doers, who do not believe in capital
punishment Probably nowhere else
in the world is such a degree of i'm
munity enjoyed by those who take
human life. This is a record OF which
the people of this country have rea-
son to he deeply ashamed.

Fair Play Wanted.

Commissioner Jennings letter to
Representative Madden discleses that
Representative Blanton's effort to inn
peach him as a thief" and ''robber'
followed Mr.. Blanton's threat thus to
expose and punish him unless he and
the other Commissioners reversed
their action in approving the retire
ment of a specified police officer. And
the letter submits explanatory facts
concerning the most important Of the
charges against him imputing dishon-
esty. which tend strongly to refute the
accusation that his acts were Illegal
or tainted with criminality.
If Commissioner Fenning had been
guilty of impeachable offenses he
ought not to have been permitted to
continue as Commissioner, whether he
yielded or refused to yield to Mr.. Blan
toms threat of exposure and punish
ment. II he were guilty. 1t would be
vitality hurtful to the Districts wei
fare IL his acts as Commissioner
could be dominated by anybody who
threatened exposure III ne re1used TO
comply with the tatters demands.
Irrespective of the question of mo-
tives. the vital issue is whether Com
missioner Fenning is or is not a
thief" and "robber" of a peculiarly
contemplate type. as charged.
Those who have known him longest
and most intimately absolutely refuse
TO believe that Commissioner Fen
ming is tainted with dishonesty. They
demand the proofs.
American fair play should charac-
terize the trial of this issue. A poor
start was made in Congress, when
great space was given in the Record
to charges against him and admission
to the Record was refused of his let
ter Of preliminary defense.
The committee, constituting the
Judges and jury in this case, should
he as judtcially impartial as is human
ly possible. Vengeful prosecutors and
prosecuting witnesses should not be

Murderers at Large.

Judge Marcus Kavanagh OF the Su-
ner;or Court of Chicago, addressing
in New York City the other
night. said that there are at present
$4,000 murderers at large In this
country. There Is no mystery as to
vrhv we have so much crime in this
country" he said "Evil-minded men
in the United States have no respect
for the law because their experience
has shown that they need have little
fear Of the penalty"
The other day FIVE men were exc
cuted on the same day In d1f-
ferent cities for murder. This was an
unusual circumstance and attracted
general attention. But IT, as Judge
Kavanagh says. there are 11S,o0o MUIR
derers at large in this country the per-
centage of executions is very small
indeed.
Lack of fear of the penalty is un-
doubtedly the cause Of much OF the
crime now prevalent here. In the first
Mace there Is the chance Of escaping
detection. A ceutain percentage Of
slavers are never identified and
caught. Those vino are detected and
arrested have a large chance to escape
penalty altogether. In this jurisdic-
tion at least there are. far more Sec
ond degree and manslaughter verdicts
than first degree convictions. Indeed.
the first degree conviction Is now rare
here. With comparatively light SEN
tences for these modified homicides
and with time off fcr. good behavior
