As n matter of fact, the chances are all on (he side of tho base runner and all ngnlnst tho fielders. The runner, with a start of eighteen foot, has seventy-two feet to go. Willi a Hllde and a reach lie should cover weventy-two feet In less than three noi'oiuIh. The thrower muat get r!d of the hall, the ball must carry fifty yards or more and be true to tho mark, and the hnaeninli must get It and put It on the runner, all in the space of less than two and one-half seconds. Of course tho exact results cannot he statistically computed. They have licen shown lu action, though. - Cobb lias proved their entire possibility. The point proved is this -that so long as the thrower Is more than fifty yards from the objective point and so long ns the runner has a good average lead and Is In his stride the runner's chances of securing the bases are greatly In ,'jt('oss of those he takes of getting put out. f r I t ' I r t r f 1 ' ( ' 1 ? .' .t T'..

Lajoia fiaya Ha'e Raady to Quit Any Time Clavaland Wanta Naw Loader. Clarke Grllhlh. former manager ot the New York Americana, baa the prime scheme for removing the b?k oiiio tusk of making a ball club play the string from early In April till early la October, Griffith would like to re cruit a team of ex-managers. "Griffith has the idea," declared Man ager Lajole when the scheme was ex plained to him recently. "Just think of bow easy a manager's Job would be If he had men on bis team who had been through the mill and could appreciate the troubles that confront a manager who tries to run his ban club right" lajoia was asked If It were true thnt he never would play under the management of another man. "Would I quit?" he queried. "I should any not. If the owners of the Cleveland club were to take a vote and put It up to the players if they wanted an other manager, I would be the first man to vote for the other fellow. 01 course as long as I draw a salary for running this club I will do so to the best of my ability, but If, some one else took up the burden I would consider myself lucky. "You can see easily how It Is from the mnnoger's standpoint. If a pitch er goes bad and Isn't taken out Just at tho proper time, the fans all blame the manager for not using good head work. If a pitcher Is taken out and the sub stitute falls to win the game, every body howls, 'Why wasn't the previous man left In?' That's the way It goes from tho beginning of the season till the end. If a player does poor work for one club and Is traded to another and braces up, the manager who let him go Is blamed for not having a bet ter Insight Into the ftiture-the same way If a youngster Is passed up and afterward develops Into i star. "Yes, you can sny for me that If anv time they want another manager for the Cleveland club I'd Just as soon slop down and out and do the work of an ordinary player. It's a whole lot easier, and 1 guess I could make a pretty good living for several years as a common, everyday second basenmii. Hut Clarke Griffith has the right hunch. If he could carry It out he would have one of the easiest positions In base-hall." Why GanS'Nelson Fight May or May Not Be Success. DATE SEPT. 9, AT COLMA, CAL Millionaire John W.

In a quar rel the Cubans were killed, Cooper and Gwinncll, claiming that they shot thc men in self defense.

In his decree Governor Magoon ap proves thc proceedings of the court, but disapproves the verdict of not guilty.
