What "about this play?--N. M. S. Answers. 1. There is no limitation as to the _ fumber of bases a runner may ad: " vance on a passed ball, unless there "is a special ground rule that speci- fleally covers the point. Ground rules are often made when the stand fs not the regulation distance or there is a crowd on the playing field. 2. Runner is entitled to advance to second when batsman receives base on balls, However, when he overruns that base he makes himself liable to be put out. In the case eited, umpire should have ruled run- ner out when caught napping by catcher's snap throw, a 2 This afternoon the Kingkton sen- r team is at Oshawa, seeking re- venge for the trimming administered by the Spark Plugs on Wednesday last.

NUT C BY JOE WILLIAMS A collegian named Skillet is com- ing to the big leagues. . . . No one will be surprised if he's a flash in the pan. One Punch O'Goofty was not dis- turbed to hear Walter Hagen start- ed out to be a taxidermist. "All kids want to be either chauffeurs or fire- men," he says. It begins to look as if it is Sarazen the golfer, not Sarazen the runner, who needs the horseshoes. Andre Anderson who is going to England to fight Joe Beckett is one of the fistic 400. That is, he is one of the 400 Dempsey knocked out. How many of you bright-faced youngsters sitting there in the first row can tell teacher who won the Olympic ski jump last March? Quick now! The Phillies pulled a triple play the other day. . It was the first time in seven years that three play- ers on that team were found awake at the same time, "The trouble with Siki is that I can do nothing with him," says Mr. Levy, his manager. . . Mons. Car- pentier found that out long ago. They say everything from soup to nuts was served at Jack Dempsey's birthday party. . . . Isn't that a fine way to talk about One Eye Connolly?

PASSED YEARS AGO, EHMKE IS LEADING Yankees' Star Turned Down by Ty Cobb and Now Hailed as Wonder. seen .24 Boston, July 12.--Pitcher Howard Ehmke of the Boston Red Sox, dis- carded by Manager Ty Cobb of De- troit "as lacking major league cali- ber, to-day looms up as the most valuable twirler in the American League. Last season Ehmke, with a tail- end club, won 20 games, a most re- markable record. Among his vie- tories was a no-hit game against Philadelphia and a one-hit affair against New York. This season Ehmke has set 25 victories as his goal, and with a good break in luck believes he has a chance to win 30. With the season half over, he has passed the half- way mark in the goal set. "Ehmke has the greatest assort- ment of stuff of any pitcher I have ever caught," says the veteran Steve: O'Neill, who has handled some of the BASEBALL LIVE WIRES . HUSSARS MONDAY, July 14th 6 p.m. * CRICKET FIELD Middle: Barnes, Christie, Miller, Cornelius (coach), Bottom: Hughes, Armstrong, Phillips, Fuller, Hester, Harris, Montabone. : Note--*'Billy" Hughes, of Queen's, head trainer, in lower left hand corner with same lit- -| ceptive move to first that makes base rdock, McKay, Cuthbert, Granv Coaffee, M mn game's greatest pitchers. "His great amount of stuff, plus a baffling delivery, makes him the toughest bird in the game to solve. "I never heard an American Lea- gue player say that he liked to hit against 'Ehmke. That gives him quite an edge from the start." Ehmke, pitching as he is for Bos- ton, would be a real help to Detroit in its present pennant fight. TENNIS TALKS By Mercer Beasley - 3 Uses Golf Swing to Stir Bennis In- terest. The other day a man came to me and asked if I thought his son, who had passed 16, should take up tennis in a serious way. The gentleman said that his son had fussed around at it for about two years without making any noticeable progress, I asked that the you fellow come down and play a few sets on our club courts. I found, as I often do, that I had to deal with a husky young chap, in perfect condition. |' There was not a reason in the world why he shouldn't be able to play good tennis. a It developed that he played base- ball and golf. Therefore we took up the swings employed in baseball and golf, first using a baseball bat, and then some golf sticks which I always have near- by for such cases. It was curious, the way this chap made the swings. There was a pretty follow through, not too much wrist work, and, best of all, he did not face the net when he swung. That is, his play was at the ball, standing sideways. After all the: good and bad points were taken up, he was handed = tennis racket and told to go ahead and swing. He used a swing that was based upon hitting an imagin- ary ball about waist high. Hitting the balls and perfecting the timing came next. In a very short time he developed a natural follow through, with plenty of body weight on the shot. Thus, this young chap had receiv- ed without much trouble a good illu- stration of what he-could get out of his own elemental strokes. The idea that I had in mind for him was to interest him in tennis through his already acquired inter- est in golf and baseball, Sande is Best. Horsemen rate Earl Sande, lead- ing American jockey, 10 pounds bet- ter than any other rider in the coun- try. By this they mean he can carry 10 pounds more and still be best. Kremer Saves Pirates. Pitcher Kremer, a rookie from the coast, has been a lifesaver for the Pittsburg Pirates. His fine work has partly atoned for the failure of some of the veterans.

Recently while sitting on the Washington player's bench, prior to starting a game in that city, one of the Nationals, noticing the pitcher who was warming up for the oppo- sition, remarked: "That bird is a front-runner. If. we can score first on him, he's whip- ped. Hé never comes from behind to win." The player's speech interested me. The pitcher he referred to is a mighty capable performer, but is re- garded by opposing players as a front-runner. 1 The front runner in baseball, or' any other sport, is the athlete who A N YOUR ROOFING TROUBLES Let us supply you with Shingles or Roof- ing that has a reputation for quality.

I have often wondered if such a belief is not wholly unde- served. | Does it require more courage to come from behind to win tham to triumph by holding a slight lead that is gained early in the contest, whether it be baseball, golf or any other sport? - er Recently Walter Hagen, by win- ning the British open, established himself as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, competitive golfer. In his quest for the British title ' in three consecutive years, Hagen has twice carried away that great honor and on the other occasion lost by a single stroke. Hagen came from behind to win this year. He sank an 18-foot putt! to land the title. Fallure to have done so would have resulted in a tie. It is golfing history that Hagen dges his best when trailing the field. Rival golfers fear Hagen at all times regardless of his score. They fee' that he can do big things in a pinch, and are never content until he has | finished and the figures have counted him out. Hagen is a fighter, never knows when he's whipped, He keeps plug- ging away, doing his best even though it is a physical impossibility fér him to win. He simply refuses to quit. The player with the reputation for coming from behind is credited with great courage. He is deserving of it. Thé player who can only do his best when leading the field is usual- 'ly regarded as lacking thé old fight. courage. Is such a player being done an jnjustice? Is it more difficult to come from behind than to hold an early advant- age? Either way the mental and physical strain, calls for the best in 2 man. What do you think?
