SOME STORIES THEY
TELL ON LATHAM
Here are a few more stories told on
Arlle Latham:
Ariie Latham, ns Is well known,
was an umpire in the Southern Lea
gue. On one of those days the Bir
mingham club was playing at Little
Rock, and It was just at the end of
the season. Pat Wright was playing
at first for Little Rock, and Pat. Mll
lerick, of Birmingham, was at the
bat. He hit a little grounder toward
short, and for a moment it was fum
bled. Pat went lumbering down to
first. Seeing that he couldn't quite
make it on the run, he slid for the
bag. Pat Wright at the same time
got the ball a little wide and slid for
the bag himself, so as to beat the
runner. The feet of both hit the bag
at about the same time.
"Judgment!” yelled Mlllerlck, as he
threw up his hand.
Everybody watted for Latham to
make a decision.
“Walt a minute." said Arlle, “I
want to do this thing right.” He
then rushed into the clubhouse and
came out with a tape measure. While
the crowd was In suspense Latham
deliberately measured the feet of the
two Pats—Mlllerlck and Wright. It
was shown that Wright's foot was
one Inch longer and Mlllerlck was
promptly declared “Out!” Nobody
had the nerve to question the de
cision.
did another funny trick
that had the crowd in an uproar. Ho
had just called a third strike on one
of the visiting players. Harry
Vaughan, the old Cincinnati catcher,
was manager of the Birmingham
\cluh. Harry immediately flow into
a rage. He Is a big fellow, while
Latham is a runt. Vaughan gave a
jump from the berth and started for
Latham with Are in hts eye. Every
body expected to see the lltle umpire
eaten alive.
When Vaughan got within five feet
of l.atham the umpire looked up. In
a very unconcerned manner he inquir
ed: "Hello. Harry. How is your liv
er?" Vaughan was so taken back for
a minute that he sputtered and then
hurst out laughing. In another mo
ment he was slinking hack to the
bench, completely beaten by this shaft
| of wit.
When Latham was with St. Louis
he was always In trouble with Chris
Von der Ahe. his employer. It was
the custom of Van der Ahe to call
the players up about twice a week for
a lecture, especially if they had been
losing
They were all seated in Von der
Alto's office in a room in the tenth
floor of an office building There was
nqt another wail that high within a
mile.
Just as Chris began his lecture La
tham began to act queerlv.
"Vot is der matter, Arlie?" asked
Von der Ahe, "Why don't you pay
attention?’
"I think somebody is looking in at
the window." replied Latham, as he
winked at hts team mates.

Baseball Problems Which
Are Worrying Fandom
Elmer Bates, the sporting editor of
the Cleveland Press, has started a
very interesting baseball puzzle and
is getting no end of answers to the
same. Here is the question that he
has propounded and which is stirring
the Cleveland fans iuto action:
“What is the largest number of hits
and the greatest number of bases a
team can make in one turn at hat,
or one half-inning, without a runner
crossing, the plate?
“There are no technical conditions.
The thing to do is to figure out the
largest number of bases that can be
made in a half-inning by hits, steals,
errors, or any other way, without a
run being scored."
Here are three unique answers that
have just been received by him to the
question:
Designate the players A, B. C, D.
E and F.
"A tripled but was out trying to
stretch it into a home run; B tripled
but was out same as A, trying to
stretch it into a home run: C tripled;
D bunted along third base line, third
baseman thinking the ball would roll
foul did not pick it up: C could not
score, as the third baseman could
throw him out at the plate; the ball
remained in fair territory, getting a
two-base hit; E bunted, the ball strik
ing in front of the plate; the catcher
thinking C would try to score from
third did not throw the ball; F hits a
single toward left, the ball hitting D

DRISCOLL FOOLED
PUBLIC ON WEIGHT
NEW YORK. —Jem Driscoll sprung
a surprise at his training quarters
yesterday. Would you believe it that
he is below weight already? Well,
he is. After an hour’s fast work with
the skipping rope, bag and sparring
partner the English champion got on
the scales in the presence of the
writer and tipped the a frac
tion over 123 1-2. He only smiled
when he saw the look of wonder come
over the faces of the scribes, who
had been led to believe that the
Englishman was closer to 130 than
123.
Abe Attell has felt sure all along
that the Welshman couldn’t make
the notch, and at his training quar
ters Tuesday he w r as willing to wager
that Jem would be overweight and
that the SSOO forfeit was as good as
in his pocket. The news that Dris
coll is under weight so far in advance
of the fight will come as a shock to
Broadway, where wagering on the re
sult is booming.
MATTHEWS MAY BUY
THE CHARLESTON
FRANCHISE
CHARLESTON. —As a paying prop
osition Matthews regards the Char
leston franchise is worth having. He
is seriously contemplating the resig
nation from a S4O a week job to take
his chances at Charleston, and will
do this, if he can raise $1,500 here
this week. Matthews laughs at the
financial failures which have been
made here by all Charleston owners,
excepting Ashenback, and points out
that the succeeding years have seen
local men in charge of this club’s af
fairs who were really brightly verdant
in their knowledge of the game and
its possibilities. Charleston baseball
teams for the past three and a half
years have been engineered by men
of good theory but heipless in meeting
the larger problems of practical man
agement, and really handicapped by
a lack of time and their business in
terests. Matthews says it is entirely
possible to make money out of the
Charleston franchise, and that the
best way of doing the trick is to put
a powerful team in the field.
“In fact.” said Matthews this
morning, “the whole secret lies in
giving this city a winning team, and
that is what I am going to do.”
going to third, retiring the side but
counting as a hit, making six hits for
19 bases in one inning and not a run
was made.”
“A, the first man to bat, triples and
is caught off third; B triples and is
caught off third; C singles; D singles,
C advancing to second; E singles, ad
vancing C and 9; Fa homer; C, the
instant F hits the ball, like Willie
Keeler, knows it is a home run and
starts slowly for hoilie; he is over
taken by D and E, but neither C, D,
or E reach the home plate until after
F has passed third. Making a total
of three bases for each player, or a
grand total of six hits and 18 bases.
"A singles, B singles, advancing A
to second. C singles, advancing A to
third and B to second. D singles,
advancing B to third and C to second.
A called out by umpire for failure to
touch home plate, E singles advanc
ing C to third and D to second. B
called out by umpire for failure to
touch home plate. F comes to the
bat. With three balls and two
strikes on the batter. D and S start
to steal on the next ball pitched. F
hits to deep right fielder and is slow
starting for home. He falls between
third and plate and D falls over him.
E has passed third and reaches home
plate ahead of C and D, and is call
ed out by the umpire for scoring
head of his turn, but F has already
reached third before E crosses the
plata."

SIMPSON hi NOT
RUN IN MUTHON
i
Man Who Trained at Sa
vannah May Be Barred
By Longboat and Others.
NEW YORK.—Tom Eck of Toron
to has broken into the Marathon
business. If this Marathon craze
keeps on every manager who had a
runner away back at the beginning
of the code, will produce some man
who will agree to race anybody else
for . a Marathon championship or
something akin to it.
Eck's man is Simpson, the Ojlbway
Indian, who can run some, but those
who have watched his work in Can
ada are not wholly sure that he is
good enough to beat Longboat. Any
how', Eck sends this communica
tion, which is in the nature of a chal
lenge :
"I see by the papers that there is
to be an international Marathon race
at Madison Square Harden, New
York, March seventeenth, in which
it is stated Longboat, Dorando,
Shrubb and Hayes are to start. But
it does not mention Fred Simpson,
the Ojlbway Indian of Hiawatha, Ca
nada, who ran sixth in the English
Olympic Marathon, w’hen he defeated
Longboat and Dorando, and he has
defeated Hayes in Canada and
Shrubb did not gain any thing on
Simpson in their relay at the Gar
den.
“I am willing to match Simpson to
run Longboat, Dorando, Shrubb or
Hayes any distance from fifteen miles
to the full Marathon distance, twen
ty-six miles and three hundred and
eighty-five yards, over any good
track, on the turf or hard board floor,
or Simpson will run in the interna
tional Marathon on March seven
teenth. and run for the money to be
divided in three shares, or no money
for him if he does not run one, two,
three and furthermore he does not
want a dollar of the gate or purse
money if the Marathon record is not
broken.
"Simpson has a large following in
Canada and- is conceded to be equal
to Longboat by a good many of the
best judges in this country, and he
should be given a fair chance in this
international Marathon race.”
It is believed that Hayes, Dorando
Longboat ajid Shrubb will object to
the admission of Simpson.

Many Colleges are Sending
Their Brag Men to Com
pete. Fifteen Go From
Princeton.
WASHINGTON, D.C. —Washington-
ians interested in athletic sports will
be given the treat of the year tonight
when the Federal Olympic games will
he held in Convention hall. Among
the entrants are fifteen sturdy athe
letes from Princeton, including the
all-round champion of the United
States and a relay team, and several
other universities and colleges have
less notable representatives.
With the exception of games at
Trenton later in the season this will
be the largest and strongest squad
of orange and black athletes who
have been sent from the lair of the
tiger for indoor competition. It will
be the first and only appearance of
any Princeton track athletes in Wash
ington this winter, and the men wh.o
have been entered are the pick of the
candidates for the team. At least
five of them are very probable point
winners in the intercollegiate champ
ionship next May. •
Captain R. A. Gamble and W. L.
Dawbarn will run in the sprints.
Capt. Gamble, who is a son of Sena
tor Gamble, of Montana, is one of
the fastest and most consistent
sprinters in college ranks.
John Bredemus, who beat Martin
Sheridan Ellery Clark, of Boston,
and half a dozen other big fellows in
the all-around championship of the
United States last fall, will represent
the Tigers in the invitation pole vault
with C. Vezln. Both these men have
done over eleven feet In doors, and
with Sterret, of George Washington;
Parker and Pickles, of Pennsylvania,
and Ward, of Baltimore, all compet
ing and all good for eleven feet or
better, new figures for the southern
record are likely to be set up.
The invitation fifty-meter dash will
be one of the sizzling events of the
Federal games, with six of the fast
est sprinters in the east going to the
mark. R. W. Gill, of Mercersburg
Academy, who won all three sprints
in the 1908 games; Gamble and Daw
barn, of Princeton; Minds, of Penn
sylvania; Burke of Virginia, and Law
son Robertson, of the Irish-Amerlcan
club, the man who beat Rector in the
Olympic try-outs, are the probable
starters. Gill, Gamble anjl Robert
son all have records of 10 seconds for
100 yards, and the other three men
are only a shade slower, although
Minds and Burke are better at the
shorter distance.
