It is not the intention of the chron- icler of these lines to disparage the standing of thé present champion gate crasher, Mr. One Eye Connolly. We will merely say that he is a ter- rible bum and let it go at that. There has only been one gate crasher who was really entitled to championship recognition and that gentleman, my dear friends, was Mr. Two Eye Connolly, The present One Eye Connolly may be reasonably gifted as modern gate crashers go, but Two Eye was obviously twice as good. In the old days the trick of crashing the gate at the big sportive and social events was a genuine art which required rare courage and a raw finesse. For mostly there were no gates to crash. -- Take the Sullivan-Kilrain fight out in the low swamp lands of Missis- sippi, as an example. No stadium, no fence, no enclosure of any kind. Any wayfarer who happened<to be drifting along might pause and wit- ness the historic battle. Was Two Eye Connolly non-pluss- ed? Was he even non-minused? Be yourself! Two Eye brought his own gate along and- crashed that. : Two Eye was not content with merely a local record. It was his proud boast that he had crashed gates all over the worid, and, mind you, ordinarily it was not easy to induce Two Eye to bo "My prison record speaks for fit- self," he would say. Two Eye be- came the international gate crashing champion at all weights in London in 1843 whe he crashed the gates of Buckingham Palace. The circum- stances were rather singular. It seems that Two Eye had informed the arresting officer that he had no idea of accompanying him to a prev- iously designated penal institute. "Do I understand you correctly?" questioned the officer in excellent cockney. Two Eye made a very dis- courteous retort. He said, "A fig for you, my man!" * It seems that the officer was not exactly addicted to figs. Indeed, the mere mention of the word figs was like waving a red bull in the face of a flag. Without further ceremony he'pick- ed Two Eye up and flung him the full length of the street. By rare chance Two Eye collided with the palace gates head foremost. A horrowing sound of crashing steel and falling debris rent the murky atmosphere. . But why go on? The A.A.U. records distinctly show that Two Eye was the only man who ever crashed the royal gates, and it was due directly to his triumph in this event that the Stars and Stripes carried off the Olympic honors that year, It may be of interest to the reader to know that Two Eve seldom did &ény training, even for his interna- pnt contests. - Old-time experts to say he was just a natural champion. Still The Most . For The Money It you want the final decisions on. any baseball dispute, write Billy Evans, NEA Service, 1200 W, Third street, Cleveland, O. . Questions, 1. There are runners on first and second and one out. The batter hits to the shortstop, who throws to first base after holding the running on third. The batter is thrown out at first. After the shortstop has thrown the ball to the first baseman, the runner on third decides to make a break for home. The batsman appar- ently interferes with the first base- man in his effort to get the runner at the plate. An accurate throw would have retired the runner easily, but due to the interference the first baseman made a w.d throw, runners scoring. The umpire refus- ed to allow interference but sent the runners back to second and third The play happened in the first of the ninth, the home team leading, 3 to 2. The next batter doubled, scoring two runs, enough to win the game What about this play?--H. S. B. 2. Does the calling of a balk on the pitcher have any influence on the status of the batsman® That is, it the count was three balls and two strikes would he be entitled to go to first?--R. C. K. Answers. 1. In the play you cite, either the first baseman {interfered or didn't. That was up to the judgment of the umpire. If he believed there was interference he should have ruled the runner out who tried to score from third, which would have retir- ed the side. According to the way you have stated the play that would have been the proper ruling. If the umpire didn't believe there was in- terference he should have permitted both runs to score. Under no con- dition should he have sent them back to their respective bases. 2. The calling of a balk never in any way affects the status of the batsman, would have simply remainéd three balls and two strikes. BAERA"L THURSDAY'S SCORES National League.
