KLEM TO BLAME?
Umpire Failed to Announce McCor
mick, as Rules Call For Others Say
Giants' Player Is at Fault For Step
ping Into Batter's Box.
When Charley Ebbets, president of
the Brooklyn baseball club, made -his
now historical remark two years ago
that "baseball is still In its infancy"
be little dreamed how close to the
truth be was speaking! Ebbets' re
mark" referred to baseball as a busi
ness proposition with wonderful pos
sibilities yet to be realized. Recent
happenings have proved that baseball
is as much in Its infancy on the play
ing field as it is in the box office.

Fork, between New York and Phila

UMPIRE BILL KLEM.
winning run across the plate, only to
have the same winning run pushed
back to third base and die there, is a
real novelty in major leagues, although
thousands and thousands of games
have been played since the National
league began business back in 1876.
Records of the past show no such hap
pening as a winning run being nulli
fied because the umpire turned his
back.
Who was to blame for the muddle
which sent hundreds hurrying away
from the Polo grounds with the con
viction that the Giants had won the
game, 1 to 0, only to learn later that
the game ended with no run being
scored? Many close followers of the
game blame Umpire Bill Klem for be
ing tardy in announcing the change of
Pinch Hitter McCormick for Pitcher
Demaree after Manager McGraw had
told him of the change. McCormick
sauntered up to the plate at his usual
slow pace, so Klem surely had plenty
of time to tell the crowd about it, as
the rules demand. Others figure that
Alexander of Philadelphia was wrong
In pitching the ball before McCormick
bad been announced, and many others
hold to the belief that McCormick was
at fault in stepping into the box before
be had been announced. Sifting the
matter down any one of the three may
be blamed for the muddle. But that
does not help the New York team any.
And the pennant might hinge on one
game next October as It has hinged on
one game many times in the past,
notably in 1D08. when a somewhat
similar muddle nullified a' winning run
by McCormick, a timely hit by AJ
Bridwell and finally a pennant which
belonged to New York.
Raseball has reached a stage where
there should be a remedy for such an
occurrence. Furnishing a team with
the same chance again, or another
chance to win the game, hardly makes
up for what practically has been al
ready won The correct solution
seems to rest in an announcer at the
games. The umpire has enough to do
in looking after the ball game.
The fiasco of April 25 has led to
countless arguments and not a few
bets on the part of those who were
positive that they saw fhe winning
run scored. And they naturally admit
ith reluctance that they were mis
taken, for they saw Alexander, toe
ing the rubber, pitch to McCormick
In the batter's box. on which pitch Mc
Cormick hit safely to left field and
Merkle raced home All those things
happened while Umpire Bill Klem was
not looking
The rule which applies to occur
rences of this sort reads:
Whenever one player Is substituted for
another, whether as batsman, base runner
or fielder, the captain of the side making
the change must Immediately notify the
umpire, who In turn must announce the
same to the spectators. Play shall be sus
pended while announcement Is being made,
and the player substituted shall become
actively engaged In the game immediately
upon his captain's notice of the change to
the umpire.

Twenty Years
After
,
By REGINALD D. HAVEN
One day I went up into the garret to
find something I needed. While rum
maging over old trunks and old boxes
I found a trunk that was marked
"Family Documents." Curious to learn
if I had stumbled on anything valuable,
I opened it and spent some time ex
amining its contents.
While overhauling a lot of old papers
I came across two batches of letters
bound together with a ribbon that had
once been pink, but had now faded to
no particular color, and tied in a bow
knot. I knew by the knot that a wo
man had done the job and, by a 'faint
perfume that hung about them, that a
part of the bundle at least had be
longed to a woman.
. I loosened the packages and saw that
they were without envelopes, probably
sacrificed to reduce bulk. Those in
one package had been written in a wo
man's hand, those in the other in a
man's hand. I opened one of the lat
ter and read a dozen lines.
"That's the worst love twaddle I ever
read in my life," I said to myself. "I
wonder what idiot wrote it"
Taking up one from the other pack
age, I read some of it and wondered
that any young woman could be so in
fatuated with a man as to write such
silly stuff." The letters bad evidently
passed between a couple many years
before, for the paper was tinged with
yellow, and the ink in .some instances
had faded. Wondering which of my
progenitors had written them, I ex
amined the signature of one of the
superfiue package and saw that it was
signed "Your loving Ethel."
My wife's name being Ethel, I look
ed more carefully at the handwriting
and noticed for the first time that it
was quite like Ethel's indeed, it was
Ethel's handwriting with twenty years'
change attached. I dropped it, took
up one of the other lot and discovered
that it was my own penmanship at
nineteen.
I felt the hot blood mounting to my
cheek. Could it be possible that I had
written that sickening stuff? And
Ethel she must have have been de
mented. When I had somewhat recovered !
from my surprise and abasement the
idea occurred to me to inflict one of
those old love letters of mine upon my
wife. I wished to see how she would
take me on paper as I was two decades
agone. Our oldest son was now about
the age I was when I wrote the letters,
and incidentally I thought he might be
doing the same thing. Also quite likely
our oldest daughter was or soon would
be encumbering the mails with what
she in time would be quite ashamed of.
I selected one of the most lovesick
of my letters and one of a near subse
quent date of Ethel's. These I put in
my pocket to be kept till she should
go into the country with the children.
When that time came, instead of say
ing, "Now write tonight, dear," she
said, "Don't let it be a week before
you tell us how you're getting on." I
asked her how she would like to have
me write her a real nice long letter,
and she said she thought it would be
lovely.
She had been gone but a day when
I sent her the love letter I had written
her twenty years before and, taking the
one she had written me, inclosed it
in the first envelope I received from
her that I might draw it on her
when attacked for sending her such an
epistle.
When sufficient time had elapsed for
her to receive my letter I received a
telegram asking if I were ill. I replied
in the negative; I was perfectly well
and would spend the week end with
her and the children. I arrived in
the evening just before dinner, but had
not announced my train. When I got
home I saw at once that there was
anxiety in the family, and it was on
my account. My wife looked at me
scrutiuizingly, especially studying my
eye, which is an indicator of insanity.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"What's the matter with you?" was
her counter question. "Have you any
brain trouble?"
"Brain trouble? No. What makes
you think I have?"
"Read that," she said, producing the
letter I had sent her.
"Well, what's the matter with It?"-1
asked.
"The matter with it? Do you mean
to say that you were iaj-our right mind
when you wrote it?"
"I do as much as you were in youi
right mind when you wrote the reply."
. "What reply?"
I drew out the letter 1 had in my
pocket for her. She took it and began
to read, but had not turned a page be
fore she stopped and exclaimed. "What
rubbish is this?"
"Rubbish! Do you call your episto
lary production rubbish?"
"My epistolary production?"
"Certainly. You wrote it."
Quickly turning her eyes upon it,
again she read a few sentences further,
stopped, looked at the date, then at
the signature. Slowly shame rose in
her cheeks as she realized that she was
reading one of her love letters to me
when she was a girl.
"You've been playing a trick on me,"
she cried, turning away impatiently.
"Papa." said Ethel junior, "I wonder
if I'll cer get such a lovely letter as
the :'m;i wrote mamma."
"Very !i': !y you will, my daughter,"
I rtp!!erl' ";!Pd you will probably make
as lac's'KV- .leu I a reply as your mother,
only ti ' ' 1 'i to the roots of your hair

ESSAY CONTEST
Announcements of awards in the
essay contest conducted by the
Clackamas County School league has
been made by Samuel Adler, and are
as follows:
Division A Ninth and tenth
grades: First prize, Alice Carpen
ter, of Molalla; second prize, Hilde
grade Spellman, of Estacada.
Division B All grades below the
ninth: First prize, Nellie Hayes, of
Estacada; second prize, Maude Mc
Cully, of Oak Grove.
The judges for Division A were

Grove school, and H. M. Barr, princi
pal of Fernwood school of Portland.
The judges in the other division
were,.C. F. Anderson, principal of the
West Oregon City school and Lillie
Schmidli, of Oregon City.
Alf" the essays presented in the
contest were much above the aver
age, and the judges had much diffi
culty in selecting the winners.
Announcement is also made by Mr.
Adler that the annual track and
field day of the league will be held at
Gladstone, Mlay 24.
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
FAILS AT EUGENE
The track team from the Oregon
City high school returned home from
the big all-star meet, held at Eugene
under the auspices of the University
of Oregon, without a point. The
meet, which was held on Saturday,
May 10, was not as much of a suc
cess as it might have been, owing to
the poor condition of the track. The
circular track was such a sea of mud
that it had to be abandoned for all
except the longer races. In these
events very poor time ws made, ow
ing to the fact that the runners sank
into the mud up to their ankles much
of the time. Falling was frequent.
The failure of the Oregon City
boys can be almost entirely laid to
the lack of suitable training grounds
at Oregon City. The boys are great
ly handicapped in this respect. Most
of the training is done either on the
streets or by traveling two miles to
Gladstone park. The local team has
good material but little can be ex
pected of them when they are almost
without training.

NEW BR1GK PLANT
READY FOR
The organization of a company for
the promotion and operation of a
new industry in this vicinity has
been completed, and the concern
known as The Bolton Brick & Block
company has a plant , at Bolton, on
the west side, where tiey will fur
nish wall cement buiiding blocks and
brick.
Their products will be made by the
Helm process, the latest improve
ment in that line. Shrinking and
opening of the joints at the rim and
rotting of woodwork are entirely
eliminated.
-- J. H. Graw, the manager, has al
ready installed a machine of tie lat
est pattern with a pressing capacity
of forty thousand pounds, which
turns out five thousand bricks daily,
worked by hand, and . an . amount
many times greater when operated
by gasoline or electric power, one of
which he will install in the near fu
ture. Besides bricks and blocks .the ma
chine can also turn out door and win
dow caps and sills, ornamental tiles
for mantels and ever-lasting posts for
outside work. There are also , at
tachments for making special blocks
and brick for building fronts and
turn-corners.
Four bricks, from three to eight
weeks out of the machine, were sent
to the engineering departmnt at the
stat university for tests, and the re
sults showed pressure tests of 10,
600, 17,800, 40.600 and 78,200 pounds
respectively, according to the age of
the brick, being pressures of 303, 509,
1160 and 2230 pounds per cubic inch.
This shows that the only effec. time
has on them is to make them all the
stronger.
The products of the machine are

SCHOOL BOARD ORDERS .
WATER TURNED ON ANEW
The city school board Monday even
ing ordered the city water turned on
in all of the school buildings, upon a
showing that analyses for several
months past had proven the water to
be free from colon bacilli. Ever
since the typhoid fever scare in Ore
gon City last fall, the city water has
been turned off in the three school
buildings, and the students have
been compelled to drink unpalatable
boiled water, or go thirsty. It was
learned that chemical analyses of the
water is being made twice each week
and the supply has long been free
from contamination.
The board of education will hold a
special meeting on Thursday of next
week, when a partial selection of
teachers for the coming school year
will be made.
