Frederick is, it anything, reassuring, but it

down that the chances are he will become

It is said in Berlin that Sir More“ Mac-
kenzie takes a more sari us view of the case.
It is now believed tha he thinks there is
greater immediate danger than his eminent
German colleagues imagine.
The statements which have been published,
that the emperor’s sutIerings are of the most
distressing nature, are not true. This denial
comes from the kaiser’s physicians. A certain
party in Germany continues to spread "Hum?

Trend Their Eton! Path.
'WABIIIXCH'ON. April Elm-President Young,
a! the National league, is mil. with a letter 11
instiitctions to umpires, tilled with nugget
times that naturally follow the experience of
the past season, and in which he devotee
special attention to the regulations for the
prurvation of good order and the elevation
of the great national game of baseball.
Referring to the controversies during the
past seawn occasioned by the inconsistent
rulings ot umpires about the correct position
of pitchers, President Young says he is satis-
llod this trouble arose from lack of attention
in the spring games. U111piree,be says,
iliould observe clowly the regulatiouwhich
W01 ides that the pitcher shall not raise his
right. foot unless in the tilt of d1li1er1ng
hall, nor make more than one step in such
delivery.
The rule providing that umpirel should be
the Hole judge of play, and that any person
nth-ring nn3 insult or indignity to the umpire
shall le promptly ejrctml from the grounds,
Mr. Youn- I says should be strictly enfor1 ed.
An3 dm-zidon of the umpire, he says must
111111131 the: captain shall deem that the umpire,
in formulating his judgment of the play, puts
awrong construction upon the written law
of tin- gums. 11311-11 in this event it hitullltl be
i't11111-111i11‘1‘c1l that the umpire is the sole
judge, though he is at liberty to give the ob
jaetiuyz captain a hearing. The umpire, how
ever, President Young says,” is the supreme
authority on the interpretation of a rule dur-
ing the progress oi a game.
lie suggests that umpires should avoid ad-
dressing audiences in explanation of decis-
ions or points of play except when absolutely
netmsary, and, above all things, they should
refrain from replying to nncomplimenlary
remarks, which close decisions frequently
evoke from excited spectators during well
ages and both sexes in Germany. ltisun-
derstood now that Sir More“ is resolved to 3
take legal action against any newswpcr
printing libelous matter ngaimt him. This,
of course, does not. refer to legitimate criti.
clam, but deliberate falsehoods.
