This is of course the closed season for baseball dope, but it
is hard not to “fan” a bit now and then, especially just at this
^age of the game.
For Billy Smith has practically finished up his team for
1907. Of course he may add a man here and there, but there is
not a position on the team at present which is not accounted for
by some man who is practically sure to make good.
Far different it was a year ago. At that time plenty of men
had been signed but most of them were very doubtful proposi
tions. Some of them turned out well nnd some didn’t.
All the members of the regular team worked well but there
were two gaps—center field and third base. And while both-were
well filled at odd times last season there were so many changes
and so much uncertainty thnt the team was weakened.
Already these gaps have been filled for next yenr and no oth
ers have developed.
With Zeller, Sparks nnd Harley as a nucleus the pitching staff
ought to be strong. Billy Smith thinks that Zeller will lead the
league next year nnd that Sparks will not be far behind him.
Spade promises to make a strong ' member of the Atlanta
team. He is one of those steady-ns-n-stone-wall pitchers and when
necessary nan go into the outfield nnd stack up with the best at
the fielding game.
In on* respect the Atlanta team will probably resemble the
New Orleans team next year—it will presumably be made up of a
smaller number of higher paid men than last year.
To get better men higher salaries will be paid. To keep with
in the salary limit less men will be employed. That’s the way the
Dutch wizard of Pelicanville works it and he does pretty well at
this game. . ,
Such men ns Spade will come in prety well on a team like
that. After the New Orleans style he may be called on to play
in the outfield now nnd then, but he is the kind who does not
mind.
Before making our annual selection of a pennant winner
we shall wait to hear from the other teams.
But they will have to look pretty strong to rank favorite in
the future book betting over Atlanta.

Ante-lcagne-tncctlng silence still continues
to be dense In nil sources from whence a
noise would be significant.
The semi-official announcement of what
la due to happen baa not yet emanated
from the usual source.
In the meantime, fans are wondering.
One thing Atlanta can count on—our old
friend, William Kavanaugh, will tuke a
shot at Billy Smith and his habit of pro
miscuously suspending baseball players.
Tho whole league Is laying for Billy on
that proposition. However, It Is hard to
gee bow they are to prevent a man from
guspcndlug a player for cause.
Hilly Smith's dope la thnt the Southern
League baseball season will start next

day as any,- though the sooner they make
It the better.

says The Ctncinati Enquirer. “Just want
to let you know.” he writes, "that the

Burlew-O’Neil Combination
Dominates New Orleans Ring
88M8MMM88—
SCORING RULES NEED REVISION
“When la a baae runner not a base
runner?" asks the New York Globe.
That le the meat of an argument
which went the rgunda last summer,
and which waa revived In Chicago this
fall when the umpires and other ex
perts on the rule* gathered to witness
the world's championship games.
Tho Globe has received a number of
communications In which knotty points
In the bneeball ruler arc Involved, and
In most case* they deal with the rights
and privilege* of bare runnerr. The
Globe's recent criticism of the lax
method* of *corlng on the two big
league circuits ha* alao aroused com
ment, numberless Instances of favor
itism being pointed out by thore who
agree that a committee should over
haul some of the rules which do not
C0V*r play* which occasionally come
up, and that offletal aeorets should be
required to conform more closely to the
rules.
Th« play which caused a discussion
as to the rights of bass runnerr came
up In Pittsburg last summer. BUI Dah-
(e — —
on ran ffmn first fo second on a slow
grounder to center. Ritchey played
the ball behind the bag. Intending to
force Dahltn. The runner beat the ball,
but Just ns he set foot on the bag the
ball struck him on tho knee. A hot ar
gument followed. Umpire Johnetone
called Dahlen safe, taking the common
sense view that a base runner stand
ing on a base could not be declared out
unless he deliberately allowed -the ball
to hit him.
Barney Dreyfuss said that ho would
have protested the game, but ns Pitts
burg won tho Incident was dropped.
Conflicting views Jit this play are en
tertained by competent judges. Jack
-■ i nnd Bill Evans. American
umpires, agreed with John
stone's decision, holding that a run
ner Is Immune when occupying a base.
The rules declare a baae runner oul
when he Is hit by. a batted ball. Then
tho question arise* a* to whether n man
on the base Is strictly a base runner
except when he Is In motion between
bases or not occupying a base. "Silk"
O'Loughlln says that he would have
called Dahlen out. This is not a fre
quent play, but It should be covered by
a specific rule.
Whether a batsman becomes a. base
runner—Is considered "on the base”—
at tho time he hits the ball or until ho
reaches first base,. Is another mooted
question. Chick Stahl loat a bet last
summer when Umpires Evans and
Connolly decided that a player must
reach first base to become a base run
ner. They, held that a batter whp Is
caught out on a fly ball or flelfled out
at first does not become a base runner.
Such good judges as Clark Griffith and
Jimmy McAleer take another view.
During a discussion In St. Louis, Grif
fith clinched his argument by pointing
out Section 12 of the baee-runnlng
rules.
"If you bat a fair ball and It bounds
back and hits you, you're out," de
clared Griff. "Doesn't that prove that
you nro a base runner the moment you
hit a fair ball, whether you reach, first
hose or not?”
Common sense must be exercised by
umpires In their application of rules,
but there jire a few points that could
be explained at more length In the
rules and broadened to cover these
unusual plays. Not a season passes
but what some freak play pussies stu
dents of the game. Roger Breinahan
discovered one In Cincinnati two years
ago, that was never settled to his sst-
lafsetton.
Bresnahan was catching, and let a
third atrlke get away from him. Tho
batter reached first and the Cincinnati
scorers gave Bresnahan an error and a
passed bnll. Bresnahan took the ground
that he could-not be charged with two
errors on one play. A passed ball Is a
battery error, and Bresnahan took the
ground that he should not get an error
In his catching record and on* In his
Adding record as well. The old rule*
put such plavs in the rulss as "missed
third strikes.”
There are many other places where
the rules overlap, and somewhere they
do not reach far enough. It the re
formers lay down some rule* leaving
less to a scorer's discretion than Is now
the rase, nnd tho rule makers cover a
few more points of play In their alter
ations from year to year, "dope" and
averages would count for something.

THE WRITING OF BASEBALL NEWS,
FROM THE WRITER’S STANDPOINT!
A little consideration la due' the bow*- : the truth, the magnate goet la the air and
bell writers, says F, P.‘O'Connell, lu The **”* *““ *“
Boston Post. In no city In the country
baseball supported so loynllr by th,
pren as la Boston. . This ha, been ihowu
ye«r after year.
Since the American* came to town,
weak teems here been tolerated nt the
south'end nnd show he, never been felt
by the • players. Th,. paat summer the
American, played horrlblo ball, mix-ups
were frequent, and - yet the teams were
supported by ell.
Baseball owner, nre «well gentlemen
when the card, are brenklug right ,nd
when their teams sre winning, and when
nothing but‘praise Is being showered upon
them. When th* worm turn,, what * dif
ference!
Borne magnates hare an tile* that they
should be shown every etoty written before
It I, printed. If you beppeu to print some-
thlug adverse to tho uaguate. what a howl
aea up.
They are no dllferant than the players.
For ten years you can shower praise upon
a ball player. Dig the harpoon Into him
once, and he goes around town telling what
he will do to you.
I never mind what a player oaya or
feels. I make allowances for him. I know
the strats he Is under, and 1 know he
1 feds aa badly over losing a game as tha
i-rasteat “fan."
The magnata Is another proposition. lie
should be big enough to appreciate that
praise and criticism Is a part of tha game,
and he should be Mg enungh to stand It.
Instead of confiding In other* end In
-knorklng" this or .that writer.
Thd simple truth often hurts more than
a malicious tic. A baseball rlnb gets more
I fret* advertising than nny tdher kind of
business. True, the public demands base
ball news, but. at the same time, the pub
lic demands the theater and other Iwnnrbes
of sport. •
If yon keen on boosting, the magnate
Is a k. k If yon are fearless, sod print
tells how he will get your job.
Here In Boston, the papers have been
fearless at all times. Home wlld-sycd fans,
perhaps, don't think, so. .
There are some fans who want ■ to see
the players crucified -at sU times unless
they wlu every game. There sre others
wl i want scandal dished up.
X~t a few times the past live or six
yearx several stories hare not been printed
simply and solely for the good of tho
game.
Many players have been Indiscreet and
have got swsy with It.
I have no doubt that Id some towns
the local club owners can end do exert
sn Influence orer th* pspsrm. I bare
known newspapers to wosksn under th*
threat of haring the baseball ad taken out.
Fortunately, then Is Dona of that hero.
In the put ten years, t doubt It any base
ball nun was -ersr told by hit man
aging editor not to print nofriendly slug.
When -the day comes when a club owner
can dictate what a man la going to write.
It la time to quit.
As for myself, baaeball writing would
toee Its DUrtcttrenetD If I couldn't use s
"hammer" now and then. Any tint# that
I am asked to curb my writings It Is for
(he tall and a neat. Tha pnblla wants crit
icism.
One day last summer, I roasted one of
the Boston player*. No less than flfty
fsnt wrote me telling what n great story
It was.
I smiled at I reed them, knowing bow
fickle the fans were. The roast I thought
was wholly deserved, and my name waa

'•••••••••••MM
The "all around" baseball player baa
become a steady fixture ou the strenuous
game of these days, snd the recent publica
tion of records show that ho holds his own
among the stars, despite his contlnuul
switch of positions. •,„ -
The "all around," or utility man, ns he
is commonly called, is ft rare specimen,
and many clubs hare dropped out of i
race because they could not find oue. What
could Cleveland bare done last season had
Lsjole had a utility man like Strang, Joe
Yeager or Bresnahan to bolster up the
team when misfortune befell the stars?
At a rule, a "Jack at all trades is good
at none," but there are exceptions to tills
In every line of business, and tbe utility
mnn of baseball la a shining example.
Three attainments are absolutely essen
tial to a utility player. He must be able
to play the Infield, the outfield, nml lie
a good hitter. Without either of these,
he is no good to a team.
Roger Bresnahan’s career Is probably the
most unique of all the all-around men, as
he has played every position on a club,
and has played them well. Roger first
entered the big league os a pitcher for
ithe Washington club. A year or so after
wards be was playing with Baltimore.
"You ought to make a good catcher." Mc
Grow said to Kresnahnn one dny when
tbe catching force was crippled. "Suppose
you go In and try It."
Bresnahan went behind the Imt and did
•o well that he has never pitched since.
Soon after ho came to Now York, Mc
Grow was In need of a good third base-
man, and, aa Devlin . had not yet de
veloped, he sent Roger to the third stick.
Thore he also made good. Later he play
ed the outfield. In every position Urcsim-
bnn bos bene able to master the situation.
Joe Yeager, of the lllglilauder*. Is an
other ball player of*varied attainments.
He also started out as a pitcher, but his
prowess with tbe hut soon forced him into
the luflold, nnd he has since played every
position excepf thnt of catcher.
Sammy Strang's true worth was not ap
preciated until McGrow secured him from
Brooklyn three years ngo. The Giant
manager saw a grent future for Strang
ns a utility mnn, and It has proved for
tunate for Sammy as well ns the club.
8trnng has never pitched nor caught, but
hns repeatedly played every other position
on the club, nnd with all these changes
he led the club durliig the season Just
closed In bnttlng with a percentage of .319.
Frank Isbell, of the champion White
Sox, Is another nll-around player, nnd
with It all Is considered the best batter
on the club. "Ixxy" says he ran pitch
some, too, but bis hitting Is too valuable
to waste on a pitcher.
In rinclunatl, they hara s great utility
man In Lobert. He can not only piny
any-of tbe position,, but can rim la,..,
like n deer.
Probably the *r.stoat all-around pUr.r
In the business, however, Is "H-h,,--
IVogner, of Pittsburg. He ran n|„-
position In tbe Infield or outfield us '■ -'
as anybody nnd claims to be able to nit- \
nnd catch, though nobody has bin
try ft. He first entered tbo major tear-
ranks ns an outfielder for Lonlirllle h-t
by an accident he was called In to pi,',
shortstop at Pittsburg one dny, mid fre-u
that time on stack hard nnd fast.
Harry Niles, of tbe -St. Louis Arur-rS
cans, Is another groat utility mnn win,.,
talents came near being overlookct],
Tbe oqly player who ever proved him- :f
a champion hi two separate po*ltiou« u
"Cy" Seymour, of tho Giants. While with

In connection with our business we have add
ed a stock of DIAMONDS, bought direct front
the IMPORTERS for cash. We propose selling
them on a very close margin of profit, cheaper
perhaps, than they can be bought elsewhere, and
then, besides, IP DESIRED, THEY MAY BE
PAID FOR IN MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS.
To the average Young Man or Woman there
is no better INVESTMENT or SAVINGS
BANK than the purchase of a DIAMOND.
