THE INTENTIONAL PASS.
Ban Johnaon la Trying to Find a
Remedy.
Some plan wbereliy the giving of in
tentional bases on balls can be elimi
nated from major league baseball is
being sought by President Ban B.
Johnson of the American league, who
recently has received many letters
from Imseball followers protesting I
against the practice.
For several weeks President John
son lias been searching for some feasi
ble remedy for the strategic pass, but
with no success.
“The intentional base on balls has
come to be one of the most, if not the
most, unpopular plays in baseball,” he
says. “The. great majority of the
game’s patrons seerii to oppose it. . So
do I. but what are you gbfog -to' do
about it?
‘'Many complaints have come to me
recently suggesting thatjrftcbers giv
ing intentional bases onTalls be penal
ized, but no one suggested a good
method of detecting the intentional
pass. If we puss a rule forbidding the
pass the pitchers simply will make a
bluff at trying to get the ball over
the plate, and will give the star bats
meu tbeir bases on balls just the same.
This likely would result in n lot of
wrangling if tbe umpires attempted to
penalize what they thought were in
tentional passes because tbe pitchers
invariubly would protest that they
were trying to put tbe ball over..
“Some have suggested penalizing all
bases on balls with equal severity, but
that cure would be worse than the dis
ease. Fewer pitchers would be ablefp ,
make dhodf under such a rule;”.' . , *

I
Mrs. Rose Johnson, the pioneer
mining woman of this city, left this
morning with the last of her sum
mer’s outfit for her glacier mine
which she is developing. The mine
is located near the glacier and $10
000 worth of work has been done on
this property, which will be added
to the list of producers early this
coming summer. A mill operated by
water power was installed last fall
and considerable ore mined during the
development period will be crushed
at once.
A force of five men are employed on
the property and they have been
constantly taking out the ore and
blocking out more so that when the
mill is installed it can be kept busy.
