can Ima done mora to demonstrate
tlrn feasibility of running buses while
the ball la alrooat or actually In the
lunula of an outfielder and at do great
distunes from the objective baae than
any other player.
Manager McQraw of tho New York
Nationals baa done a great deal along
this lliie. Wagner of rittaburg a I ho
heled Mate tho path, Mc'lraw wa
keen on IiiivIiik lila ui6n take extra
1 1 a mc no I ml In bit along the foul llnea.
It waa McOraw who worked up the
pretty dllenutia of giving mi outfielder
the oitlnn of throwing to second baae
nud letting a man score from third or
or throw lug home and letting a man
run from lint to second i
i Thla ho did on hlta which put a man
rn third and one on find. If the throw
waa In any wle dlfllcult McGraw
iiinde the man on first try or feint to
try for second. If the out Mulder threw
to that I hi if the man on third wont
home. If the outfiHilcr threw home the
man on Drat reached second. Of count'
thl play wna made usually with uo
ino or wlih one on!. Bo, In cane the
man waa caught at awond, a run wan
united, lit close guinea It la worth an
out in mure a run.
Wagner excels In taking bases on
curi'teaa tbrowa from the outfluld and
on careleaa reception of throve from
the outfield by the Infield. Let the re
turn throw be ever ao little off the
Imim or the Inflelder ever ao little out

an nveragu good pitcher.
Iu oilier wordH, any time the runner
lias a lead of eighteen feet or ao oft
any bane nud the ball la more than tit
ty yards away ald runner has an even
chance to safely acquire said base.
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

and Is In his stride the runner's chances
of securing the bases are greatly In

MANAGER'S JOBTo FUM.
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."

Two Men, Deserters, Robbera,
Thieves, Found Not Guilty.
HAVANA, Aii. 18, Governor Ma-
goon has issued a decree releasing
from the custody of a provisional
court recently held at Camp Colum
bia, Corporal Cooper and Private
Gwinncll, of the Eleventh cavalry wh
were tried by thi court on the charge
of having murdered two Cuban boat
men at the town of Coloma on March
4 last. At the close of the trial the
findings of the court were submitted
to Governor Magoon ai the reviewing
authority. The case excited the grea
test interest here, not only because of
the nature of the crime itself, but ow-

Cooper and Gwinnell were accused
of having made an attempt to desert,
to accomplish which, they and Private
Fearnlcy hired a boat and secured
thc services of two Cubans. In a quar
rel the Cubans were killed, Cooper
and Gwinncll, claiming that they shot
thc men in self defense. Fearnlcy
turned states evidence but owing to
his past record both in the American
army and abroad his evidence was to
tally discredited.
Governor Magoon referred to Col
onel Crowdcr the judge advocate at
Havana, a copy of the court proceed
ings and finidings, The findings de
clare that the prisoners were not guil
ty. In his decree Governor Magoon ap
proves thc proceedings of the court,
but disapproves the verdict of not
guilty. Inasmuch as no useful result
could accrue from reconvening the
court, he. directs that the prisoners be
released from the jurisdiction of the
courts and turned over to the custody
of the military authorities.

Rise of tha Ten Eycks.
The Ten Eycks from time immemo
rial have been wonderful' watermen.
It's a quality which sticks In the fam
ily Just like the Poos are all winning
football players. Jlnr Ten Eyck
coached the Syracuse crew to victory
In both tho varsity eight oar and the
four oar events at Poughkeepslo, N. Y..
recently, when outside opinion almost
sneered at the university's chances.
Ton Eyck never minded the unfa
vorable criticisms when he took his
crews to the course for practice, but
plodded on with his men and fitted
them to take first honors. It must
have been doubly pleasing to Ten
Eyck, for his son, Jim junior, stroked
the winning eight oared shell.
