Umpire George Moriarty, who has had his ups and downs in his duties, is said to have pulled a good one on Gerald Walker, Detroit outfielder, in a recent game. After Moriarity had called a strike, Walker turned with the remark, "YoU missed that one." Came the shappy reply, "I wouldn't have, had I a bat on my shoulder." s * I * H -- .; This Week's Question . Batsman strikes at a pitched ball, his effort being a foul fly to the first baseman, which was caught by that player. In striking at , the ball the catcher's glove came into contact with the players' bat, thereby interfering with him in getting his proper swing at the ball. "What would have been the proper ruling? > ' ,-w -- S * J TH;-- Answer To Last Week's Question Strange as it may seem to some, the drive which rebounded off the rubber and into the players' bench was nothing more than an ordinary foul. The runners should have been set back to their respective bases and the batter made to hit over. The definition of a fair hit ball says it must settle in fair territory between home and first, or home and third, or that the ball must be on fair ground when bounding to the outfield past first or third base. This particular ball settled on foul ter bounding over the foul of fair territory midway between home and fiast base.

Those attending from McHenry were Mayor Peter J. Doherty, C. H. Duker, Thomas P. Bolger, Fred Fenyerda, Ray Conway, Clarence Douglas and A. H. Mosher. ? The guests were entertained in the plant with a talk by one of the Chicago Safety Council officials, after which they were taken in busses for I a trip over the new lighted stretch cf one mile on the Skokie boulevard at Northbrook.- Refreshments were also ' served by the company employes. These new highway lights are the result of a recent discovery in which sodium vapor is used which produces an amber light, very easy on the drivers' eyes. When the motorist enters the lighted area the effect on his eyes, is restful-- the effect on his nerves, relaxing. This is because sodium vapor | lights combine greatly increased vis-1 ibility with a pleasing jack of glare.; Incandescent lamps along the way are j accentuated by the. golden glow ofo, the new light. /] Safety experts estimate that this j Skokie Highway prpject. by providing non-glaring light, permits a driver to. see a. pedestrian or vehicle 2,000 feet; away. In addition to making nofmal night driving easier, sodium vapor j lighting enables a motorist to see bet-: ter.--act quicker!--in fog, rain or ; snow. On poles six feet off the highway and spaced at 250 foot intervals oq alternate sides, the 26 sodium lamps of this installation produce 2V_» times as much light as ordinary incandescents. Horizontal mounting of the lamps makes for an even distribution 'gt light up and down the highway. Sodium vapor lighting is obtained from a newly discovered source and /Comes from the passage of electric current through a cylinder containing sodium. The light starts as a red Eton arc; within minutes the sodium vaporizes and, creates a golden yellow glow. ' Average lamp life is rated and guaranteed at 2,000 hours. Fog penetration, non-glare, 'low:• intensity and other special demands of proper highway illumination are perfectly satisfied by sodium vapor lighting. It-is unsuited, however, to home Use where color differentiation is es* sential. Original installation "cost of sodium light is slightly higher than incandescent but this is more than compensate ed for by lower energy requirement and better visibility. By menas of auxiliary equipment, a standard 115 volt circuit is utilized at a lamp op-, erating cost of less than lc an hour!
