There were decidedly too many errors and the players seemed to be up in the air most of the time. At the end of the fourth innings the local men had scored fourteen to Brockville's seven. In the following three innings the visiting team scored 14 more. The total at the end of the seventh in- ings was Brockville 21, Napanee 14. The last' two innings could not be played owing to lack of light.

New York, July 11.--Floyd Titz- simmons, Michigan City promoter, announced that Bartley Madden, of New York, had signed articles to meet Jack Dempsey in a ten-round no-decision fight for the world's heavyweight championship on Labor Day. Fitzsimmons said he would be unable to complete negotiations with Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, until the champion and his bride re- turn from Europe on July 14th. He declared he had received a cable- gram from Dempsey, however, stat- ing that the latter would accept the match if he could get into condi. tion on such short notice. Fitzsim- mons proposes to stage the bout in his own arena at Michigan City. Mr. O'Goofty calls our attention to the fact that King Georges own horse won the Queen Mary stakes at Ascot. .. «Mr. O'Goofty doesn't care to make any nasty cracks or anything but he thinks the whole darn thing looks queer.

BY PITCHED \ BALL BUNTING WITH THE HANDLE OF THE BAT oe ut "The type of batter who strode up to the plate in a close game, with the fixed intention of getting to first base by crowding the plate and getting hit by a fast ball is as extinct as the dodo," said Manager John McGraw, as we were talking, the other day, about the New York Giants of a decade ago. "Hitters like Art Fletcher and Charlie Herzog were willing to take a crack in the back any time, to get on base and start a rally in a tight game. Those birds would do any- thing to get on base, regardless of consequences. "I remember one year on the old Baltimore club, Hughey Jennings was hit 49 times, and I was hit 27 times by pitched balls. You never see any hitters pulling that stuff any more." Speaking of lost arts, you mever see a hitter nowadays reverse his bat and use the handle when laying down a bunt. It used to be quite a common stunt, Dut as I remember, "Gavvy" Cravath of the Phillies was the last hitter to use it. INSIDE GOLF By Chester Horton I's WOULD MEET SHADE.

'Phone 529 PUZZLE PLAYS. The Play. There are runners on first and third and the signal is given for the double steal. The catcher is starting his throw to second is interfered slightly by the umpire who is work- fag too close to the backstop. The slight contact with the um- pire causes the catcher to make a very poor throw to second. It so happens the ball hits the field um- pire who has positioned himself for a play a that base. The ball was de- flected into right field. The right fielder recovered the ball and threw to third base in an effort to head off the runner originally on first. The throw was wild and' that runner scored. . Are the two runs that crossed the plate legal? The Answer. The runs do not score. The base- runners should be sent back to their original bases, first and third. This is one situation where inter- ference on the part of the umpire suspends play. The rule that the baserunner or runners shall return to their bases without liability to be out if the umpire interferes with the catcher in an attempt to throw. That was he condition here. The umpire working too close to the catcher, interfered with his throw to second and the ball went, wide of its mark as a result. } No consideration can be given any action that took placerafter the in- terference on the part 'of the umpire, even though the team in the fleld did make a play on the runner. The ball immediately became dead, no bases could be possibly be run. Baserunners 'should be sent back to their original bases and ac- tion started anew. adian artist, Jefferys O.S.4., AR.C.A ' all other public spirited bodies, in abating the abuse of The Hon. Geo. S.
