It is the crack of the bat and the baseball fan. Fine fielding and air tight pitching appeal to his intellect, but his emotions are most effectively ball down the baseline or the long a scared cat. And it is the emotions of the fan that must be reckoned on and catered to if baseball is to in- crease, or even maintain, its hold upon the American mind. as= it is toda any time within the last twenty-five years, is the greatest sport in the world. It is played by more people and witnessed by more spectators, many times over, than any other ath- letic game. But it is always in dan- ger of the effects of a one-sided de- velopment and if that development should by any hair'’s breadth beyond its point the consequences would not be good either for the interest in the game or for the box office receipts. In New London this season, up within the last few days, ir. baseball has been what might per- haps be termed wholly that critical, analytical interest which the technical merits and’ pc sibilities of the team and individual players formed the objects of exam- ination and - discussion. 'The team wasn't hitting. No morp was the visiting team, whi@hever jt might be, for that matter. wasn't hitting and of the enthusiasts had themselves”to those finer of the game in which alone is initiate—ex - considers him- self initiate, And there wasn't so very much baseball talked on the streets, the trolleys, in the clubs, the stores or even the saloons: Then, all of a sudden, the Planters began to pound the ball. Niceties of pitching, the condition of this player’'s arm or that player's legs, whether this baserunner should have tried.to steal on the second or third ball pitched, whether that player ‘“‘would do"—all these minor considerations vanished as the team began to plunk out the safe ones. And the town went baseball mad. But baseball teams cannot be ex- pected to hit the way the New Lon- { don team is hitting just now. The { Planters 'are, ag the fans put it, go- ing faster than their legs wil carry them, - They are batting beyond the inevitable law of averages. And yet it is such batting as this that brings baseball, as a popular spectacle, up to its best point. Tt would seem as if the men at the head of. the national game would realize the ‘necessity of doing some- thing to lessen the tyranny of the pitcher and to give the batsman a better chance. One thing that might be done with acceptability to every fan in the country, and with proper considera- tion to abstract justice, woul® be tu amend the foul strike rule so that 2 batter who hits a screaming drive | down the baseline will not be penal- ized for an effort which, if- it had been directed differently by so, mufch as a single degree of the 360, Wodld present in the tousConfine Jnfi/e points have gained him credit for a. three base Hhit.

Efficiency is the order of the day in the Paris police department, and citizens who have grown accustomed tc the free and easy methods of the past are receiving daily surprises from . Hennion, the energetic prefect who recently succeeded M. Lapine. The murder of a horse dealer ramed Guimard and the disappear- ance of the man who was suspected of the crime afforded, a few days ago, the opportunity for an interesting experiment. At 7 o'clock in the morning a general order was issued te the police to visit every hotel in Paris and make a search, in the short- est possible space of time, for the criminal. There are 13,266 hotels in the 'city, many of which are merely places that would be dederibed in America as furnished room houses. Iivery one of these buildings had been investigated in a little less than two hours. The suspect, Bachot, was not found; but in an obscure hotel in one of the poorer quarters a clue was picked up that led to his subsequent arrest in Havre. This was the first time that the Parisian gendarmes had been called tpon to do such wholesale hustling, but it will not be the last. An order bas been issued to the officers in charges of each district to prepare an accurate list of the hotels that come under his supervision, together with directions showing the shortest route to make the rounds of a¥l the hotels. Private guide books are to be prepared from these li Bach policeman will have a copy, which he will be expected to kmow by heart and to correct as occasion may de- mand. When the next “round up” of lodging houses is ordered, it is be- licved that the present Tecord of two hours can be cut to thirty minutes. Under the old slipshod plan of hav- ing the police use their own discre- tion regarding the plages to be visit- ed, it used to take four days to make a thorough search for a criminal in the hotels of Paris. Three times within the last two weeks M. Hennion has ordered a gen- eral clean-up of the more disreputable sections of the city and the loafers of Montmatre and Belleville have been amazed to have their haunts invaded and’ their gang leaders arrested the score. In a raid on the Place Pigalle, the Boulevard de Clichy and other well-known streets of Mont- matre, more than 300 persons were taken into custody in a few hours. Most of them were held for carrying concealed weapons, the balance be- ing arrested on the general charge of vagrancy. Still another raid in the same neighborhood was directed against pickpockets and receivers of stolen goods. In one house that had long been suspected, a band of shop- fters were caught in the act of divid- “ing their booty, With Pari ing an almos the crooks of beginning to feel « fortable, police methods acquir- Anglo-Saxon energy, the “gay capital” are ecidedly . uncom- ja collar !is not a thing of beauty, | BLINDF@ BEFORE Mukderer ’(’ah alty for Killing His Cousin.

The casual observer of transatlantic affairs must be convinced that the “'silly usually either beginning or the routine of life in Paris must be getting fear- fully dull, when so eminent a person as M. Anatole France can find notn. ing more worthy of his reforming ac- tivities than the masculine starched collar. He has started an anti-cols larite league, according to report, and his present ambition is to induce = majority of men tor wear soft shirts with collars open at the neck. It is a futile project, of course, and it seems foredoomed to failure. There have been periodical assaults upon the stiff collar as an embellishment of masculine apparel, especially on the ground of its being an device in warm weather, but they have all suffered an ignominious col- lapse. The important fact remains, on the aesthetic side, that a collar im- season”’ early is uns abroad in most other respects may be as free and easy as one may desire.

The most important consideration is that of comfort, and in that particu- lar common sense and experience unite in faver of the starched collar, just as they united in largely elimi- nating the stiff bosom shirt and mak- ing the ‘negligee” popular.
