For some reason this play is a con- stant source of confusion. In reality it is simple enough if properly analyzed. For example, we will say there is a runnetfon first and third and one out. The batsman hits a long fly to the out- field. The runner on third decides to hold his base, being of the opinion that he can beat the throw to the plate if the ball is caught The runner on first, under the im- pression that the fly bal will not be caught, runs wild. The ball is caught. The runner, originally on first, is be- tween second and third when the catch is made. 'He dashes back to first in an attempt to escape being doubled up. ThTe runner on third held hs base and crossed theysplate after the catch. The runner, originally on first, was doubled up at that base for the third out of the inning. However, the runner from third had crossed the plate long before the final out was made. The run scored. Here is a situation that a runner from third can score on a double play that fetires the side, the second out being a caught fly and the third out the retiring of another base- runner. He need only be over the plate before the third out is made. Runs cannot score on a double play ititwhich the third out of the inning is a force play or one in which the bats. man fails to reach first base. Neither was the case in the play, described above. INSIDE GOLF By Chester Horton Maker of 51 Golf Champions. "Golf's most successful teacher," Billy Evans Says \. - Rea! Headwork. Ball players are often credited with pullidg some"unusual play because of | using their head. Such a happening is classed as in- side stuff, baseball strategy, head work Outfielder McNeely of the. Wash- ington club believes he is the- only player who ever made a base hit by actually using his head, He says it's the only time in his career he ever slipped one over on the umpires. It was in an extra-inning game in the Pacific Coast League. With a run. ner on third the signal was given for the squeeze play. The pitch was high and inside but McNeely had made up his. mind to bunt and made an effort to do so. The ball broke m sharply, missed his bat but struck him squarely on the fore- head. McNeely; half dazed, dashed to first base. He thought possibly he might get away with it: The ball was fielded by the pitcher to the plate but there was no chance to get the runner. The play had been successfully com- pleted, despite the fact the ball hit Mc- Neely's head and not his bat. He was credited with a. base hit' on what the | papers referred to as a perfect bunt. All of which explains how McNeely made a base hit by actually using his head. Considerable baseball strategy is not unlike the McNeely happening. Stars Scarce, Had a chat with Rudy Hulswitt the other day. Hulswitt, not so many years ago, was a crack major league short- stop. He is now scouting for the Bos- ton Red Sox. 7 } When I askedpghim if he had 'seen any good player$tduring the summer, he replied, "A lot of them, but they are all in the big leagues." v Hulswitt deplores the scarcity of big | league material. He has looked over the class of perhaps a dozen minor lea- gues and says he hasn't seen more than that many promising players. While unavle to offer a definite rea- son for the lack of class in the minors, he feels that golf, lack of playing fields in the city and country and too much pampering have hurt the development of baseball material. ! Hulswitt is inclined to the belief that uness there is an improvement in the playing standard of the minors the big leagues will have to develop their own players by some system. Diplomacy Pays. Diplomacy is an umpire's greatest asset. Often a common-sense handl- ing of a tough situation will keep the official out of trouble. Philadelphia fans, are still talking about how Umpire Dick Nallin stop- ped Catcher Mickey Cochrane from making a wild protest that might have resulted in his ejection from the game. Cochrane, after being called out at first on a close play, dashed over to where Umpire Nallin was standing back of the pitcher, intent on making a strenuous protest. As he neared the umpire, Nallin reached for his back pocket, took there from a package of scrap tobacco and held it out to Cochrane, saying: "If you must do some chewing take a mouthful of this." While; the fans couldn't hear Nallin's remark his pan- tomime didn't go over their heads. Nallin's quick and humorous handl- ing of the situation saved the day. Cochrane, wearing a broad smile, con- tinued on his way to the bench with- out saying a word, while the fans roas- ed. ! The profits seem to be greatest just: before shrewdness merges into crookedness.

A JOE WILLIAMS SAYS | Because he is too young the new fly- weight champion will not be récogniz- ed by the New York Boxing Commis- sion. But maybe the good Mr. Brown. ing will adopt him. Reversing the situation, Jack Demp- sey seems determined to stay out of the ring until he gets so old that even his closest friends won't be able to-re- cognize him. Perhaps the Valentinos would have got along better if Rudy hadn't used so much shoe polish on his hair. A lady gets tired wearing blinders around the house all day. Fable: Once upon a time theke was a baseball scandal that did not "threaten to rock the foundation of the great national pastime." A testimonial banquet was given in honor of Ty Cobb by Detroit fans the other night. Among the many congra- tulatory messages he received was one from Buck Herzog, reading, "1 hope you choke." There is ample reason for the belief that Harry Greb, even with two bust- ed ribs, is five or six furlongs ahead of OOH! 1 want FREE LIFE, AN all the other middleweighs in the game Frankie Genaro: will be known to posterity as one of the greatest little battlers that ever claimed the fly- weight championship. One of the beauties about being a busted phenom in the big leagues is that no one ever troubles you to write your life's history, A Texas flapper bit one of the state coppers on the neck and was fined 50 smackers. We don't know what her new bridge work will cost, It won't be long now until the cold months arrive bringing with them the coal shortage, gas shortage, frozen mo- tors, and, worst of all, All-Star foot ball teams. A suggestion has been made to ex- tend golf courses to 24 holes. This strikes us as radical, in view of the fact that it was only recently the cour- ses were reduced from 19 to 18 holes.
