to all kinds of censure, because the fans did
not know what had really happened.
There are any number of points that the
fans should take Into consideration when
they see the umpire declare a man out who
seems to them to be safe beyond a reasonable
doubt Four of them I have already re-
ferred to; failure to touch the bag. due to be-
ing drawn off by a high, low or wild throw ;
dropping of the ball after having touched the
base runner, due to the force of the collision;
sliding of the base runner into the foot of the
infielder. instead of the bi g and the overslid
ing of the bag after having reached it in
safety
The fallaway slide is another point that
causes all kinds of trouble for the umpires
This slide Is used by most of the leading
base runners, and consists of going straight
for the bng until wi hin a short dist.ince of
it. then falling away, so to speak, by throwing
the bo< • either towards the infield or outfield

An Undefined Definition.
A few days after school opened In
the spring a teacher lu a Brooklyn
school was testing the members of
onu of her old classes on what they
had remembered of the definitions she
had taught them during the preceding

boy of the class this question:
"Now Robert, tell me what a hypo-
crite is?"
