BALTIMORE VERDICT
DOESN'T HURT GAME
Revolutionary Changes Not
Forced, Only Hurried.
President Hcydlcr of Opinion That Do.
clslon of Jury Cannot Retard De-
velopment of Pastime Bate.
ball Will Thrive.
Professional baseball, under organ
ized control, will llvo on, dcsplto
Ihe verdict obtained by tho Baltimore
club of tho defunct Federal league.
Tho gatno Itself Is no different today
than It hns ever boon. Tho fact that
a Jury has ordered tho powers that bo
to pay tho Bnltlmoro Perioral) a few
thousand dollars has not hurt baseball
ns n sport and what was first looked
upon ns n body blow by a great many
followers of baseball nffalrs Is now bo-
President John A..Heydler.
Ing considered ns n mero Incident In
tho rather eventful history of tho
game.
President John A. Hcydlcr of tho
National lenguo Is of this opinion. Ho
does not bellevo that tho decision of
ti Jury can possibly rctnrri tho devel
opment of tho pastime anil ho predicts
u highly successful comeback for tho
game.
Just ns long ns tho competitive gamo
Is maintained on tho sauiu high basis
that has characterized It for so many
years, baseball will thrive. The fact
that tho fan doesn't glvo two whoops
about tho business sldo of tho gamo
Iiiis often been demonstrated.
Tho new order of things which Pres
ident Han Johnson of tho American
league predicts and which President
Hcydlcr suggests may como to paijs,
will probably work u benefit rather
than a hurt to tho business In tho long
run.
As baseball Is now constituted, tho
player contract, with tho resorvo
clause, the draft law and tho agree
ment between leagues stands as Its
backbone, for despite tho supposed
abrogation of tho national agreement,'
tho minor lengues are still atllllntcd
with tho majors otllclnlly.
Tho fact that a club can keep ono
ball player as long as It chooses to do
so or let him out on ten days' notlco
has been tho bugaboo of the gamo. A
new form of contract that will satisfy
most any court will bo about all that
baseball will need In thu way of n
change.
There Is no need for dissolving tho
natlounl commission because of tho
Baltimore verdict.
JINX BALL DAY FOR SPEAKER
Most Miserable Qame Wao Played at
Cleveland When He Hit Woman
With Batted Ball.
Trls Speaker has ilono such wonder
ful playing throughout, his baseliall
career that It's hard to tell what was
his most btllllnnt play at thu national
game.
Hut Spoke says ho has no trouble
picking out tho most wretched gamo
lie ever played. It was in Cleveland.
"One ilny, summer before Inst," says
be, "tho upper stands wore packed
with people. My Hrst time up I caught
n hall squuro on tho cud of my bat
nnd drove It n mile a minute Into that
upper crowd.
"It hit n womnn In tho head, and 1
could sco them help her out of tho
stand. A fow minutes later I got tho
report that sho wns dead.
"Tho report wasn't true, but I didn't
find nut until nftcr tho game, I mulTeil
two (lies In tho outfield a now record
for myself and I struck out, helping
mnterlally to Inso tho game. Nobody
knows what mctitnl anguish I suffered
till I found out thu truth."

GARDENERS GOOD AS
BASEBALL MANAGERS
Some Experts Declare Outfielders
Fail as Leaders.
Fred Clarke and Fielder Jones Piloted
Teams to Championships While
Playing In Field Hanlon Also
Successful.
Ono companion question to Ann's
ago Is: Why don't outfielders make
good mnnngers? Apparently tho only
suburbanites the people who nrc an
swering tills question remember hav
ing Hindu good ns leaders nro Fred
Clarke, who piloted the Pirates to four
championships, nnd Fielder Jones,
who led tho White Sox to one. Jim

not llguro In thu why-nren't-outflcld-ers.goori-iiiunuger.s
dope.
Tho experts who havo been answer
ing tlio conundrum on outfielders ns
leaders seem to havo forgotten thu ex
istence of Ned Hanlon, who was an
outfielder and who won three pennants
In lialtlmoro and two In Brooklyn.
Moreover, Foxy Ned wns tlio captain
of tlio (lag-winning Dctrotts In 1SS7,
tho team thnt cleaned up the famous
St. Louis Browns, when tho worlri'i
scries was played, In about thu same
Ktylo that thu Cubs cleaned up tho
Tigers In 1007 nnd tho Braves cleaned
up tho Athletics in 101 i.
Hanlon, besides winning lings for
Bnltlmoro nnd Brooklyn gnvo to the
major leagues three men who havo
figured as lenders In series for base
ball's blue ribbon John McGrnw, Wll
bert Ilnhlnson nnd Hugh Jennings. He
certainly can bo classed nmnng the
outilelders who wero successes as
team leaders.
Hugh Jennings snys that tho best
cnptnln ho over know wns nn outfield

Joe failed as n inaungcr In Cincinnati
nnd ns n manager In Boston. Every
body seems to fall In Itedland, and of

PLAYED JOKE ON THE HUNS
Sioux Indians Had Fun for Thrco Days
Talking Over a Tapped
Telephone Wire.
Because of the nature of tho conn
tty oer which American troops fought
In the Meuve-Argnnne offensive, tho
Germans found It easy nt times to cut
In on our Held telephone wires.
The commander of one brigade of
artillery attached to tin American di
vision wns particularly annoyed by
enemy wire tappers In a heavily wood
ed section of the Argonne. Code mes
sages from artillery observers wero
being Intercepted by Boche listeners
In, nnd the commnnder knew, ns nil
urniles know, thnt no code 1h Impreg
nable when experts get working on It.
The artillery rntniunnricr took up
with the colonel of ono of the lino reg
iments the question of the 'Inns' wire
tapping activities. And tho colonel
hit upon nn Men,
Two Indians, both of proud Sioux
lineage, members of one of his com
panies, were assigned ns telephono
operalorN. One wns to go forward
with tho artillery observer, tho other
to remain nt the brigade receiving enri
of the wire which the artillery com
mander was certain the Germnns had
that day tapped somewhere along tho
line.
Now, when two Sioux Indians get
talking together In their own tongue,
what they say sounds very much like
code, but Isn't. Anyway, it raised hob
with the code experts of certain Prus
sian guard units.
The Slouv stuck nn their Jobs for
throe days and nights. They nnd tho
artillery cotnninnder anil their own
colonel enjoyed tho situation Immense

It they kept It to themselves. Stars

OLD LONDON BELL FOUNDRIES
Relics of Many of Them Are Still to
Be Found Scattered Through
the British Capital.
In tlio days before clocks, to say
nntliliig of watches, wero common tho
bells of London occupied n much moro
Important position than they do to
day. 'Prentices depended on this bell
nnd that to call them very unwillingly
lo work of it morning and relenso them
very willingly from work of an eve
ning, whilst bells were requisitioned
for all inunner of special purposes.
And so lliero were ninny bell foundries
in the city. Belles of them nro found
In ninny places, even If It Is only n
street name, such as Bllltter street,
which, ns Mr. Lnnrifenr Lucas points
out. was undoubtedly Bell-sltzers or
Founders' lane. Then Belslzo probably
owes Its name, he declares, to n 'bell
foundry on the lower part of Hanip
stead hill. Something of this sort Is
all that remains of many of them, hut
others, like tho Whltcchapcl Bell
foundry, which has been charged with
retiming and rehanglug tho hells of
Westminster abbey for the peace re
joicings, have continued to do business
through flic centuries. Tho foundry
comnieiiced business In 1570.

Good Pipes From Paper Material.
"PertlniiN," one of the most Impor
tant of substitutes for metal, Is n com
pressed paper material, which has been
used In place of lead and copper for
pipes for gas, oil and other purposes.
From n British war trade icporr, It ap
pears that these pipes can onduro
th'e or four times as great a pressuro
as loiiri, while their weight Is only one
nln'li as great, and they aro water
