REAL HEADWORK.

Bail players are often credited
with pulling some unusual play be.
' cause of using their head.

Such it happening is classed as in-
side stuff, baseball strategy. head
werk.

Outfielder McNeely of the Wash-
lngton Club belieles 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 caleer he
ever slipped one over on the um-
pires.

It was in an extra-inning game in
the Pacific Coast League. With a
~. runner on thild the signal was given
"'IOr the squeeze play.

' The pitch was high and inside but
Mchely had made up his mind to
bunt. and made an effort to do so.
The ball ’broke in sharply. missed
his hat but struck him squarely on
the forehead

McNeely. half dazed, dashed to

first base. He thought possibly he
.might get away with it. The ball
was fielded by the pitcherlto the
‘ plate but there was'no chance to get
the runner.

The play had been successfully
completed. despite the fact. the ball
hit McNeely's head and not his bat.
He was credited with a base hit on
What the papers referred to as a

perfect bunt.
! O

‘ All of which explains how Mc-
Neely made a base hit. by actually
liking his head. considerable base-
ball strategy is not. unlike the Mc-
iNeely happening. . .

STARS SCABCE.

Had a ‘chat with Rudy Hulswltt
the other day. Hulswitt. not so
many years ago, was a crack major
league shortstop. He is now scout-
ing for the Boston Red Sox.

When I asked him if he had seen
‘ any good players during the sum-
mer. he replied. "A lot of them but
they are all in the big leagues."

BASE BALL
Simplified

By BILLY EVANS

‘ , Under what condition can a run-
ner on third score on 5 double play
that retires the side. the batsman
being retired on a batted fly ball
for. the second out and a runner
other than the man on third be
thrown out for the final out of the
inning.
O O

For some reason this play is a
‘ constant source of confusion. In
i'elaity it is simple enough if pro-
perly analyzed.

For example. we will say there

is a runner on that and third and
_one out. The batsman hits a. long
fly to the outfield. The runner on
, third'decldes to hold his 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
impression thahthe fly ball will not
- be caught. runs wild. The ball is
caught. The runner. originally on
first is between second and third
when the catch is made. He dashes
back to first in an attempt to escape
being doubled up.

The runner on third held his base
ind crossed the plate after the
satch. The runner. originally on
‘Ant. was doubled up at that base
for the third out of the inning. How-
war. the runner from third had
mod the plate long before the
out was made.
in. run scored. Here is n situ-
. . . that a runner from third can

liulswitt deplores the scarcity of
big league material. He has looked
over the class of perhaps a dozen
minor leagues and says he hasn't
50011 more than that many promis-
ing players.

While unable to offer a definite
li'Ui’OIl for the lack of class in the
minors. he feels that golf. lack of
playing fields in the. city and coun-
try nnd too much pampering have
hurt the development of baseball

DIPLOMACY PAYS.

Diplomacy is an umpire's greatest
asset. Often a common-sense hand-
ling of a tough situation will keep
the official out of trouble.

Philadelphia fans are still talking
about how Umpire Dick Nallln
stopped Catcher Mickey Cochrane
from making a wild protest that
might have resulted in his election
'trom the game.

Cochrane. after being called out
at first on a close play. dashed
over to where Umpirc Nallln was
standing back of the pitcher, in-
tent on making a strenuous protest.

As he nerued the umpire, Naliin
reached for his back pocket. took
therefrom a package of scrap tobac-
co and held it out to Cochralle, say-
lug:

"If you must do some chewing
take a mouthful of this.“ While the
fans couldn’t hear Nallln's remark
his pantomime_didn’t go over their
heads.

0 o o

N aliin‘s quick and humorous
handling of the situation saved the
day. Cochrnne, wearing a Giraud
smile, continued on his way to the
bench wihtout saying a word, while
the fans roared.

need only be over the plate before
the third out is made.

Runs cannot secre on a double
play in which'the third out of the
tuning is a force play or one in
which the batsman falls to reach
first base.

Babe Ruth can watch the game
from the sidelines from now on. If
he was guilty of breaking training
rules he deserves just what he re-

"I know nothing of the present ‘

Huggins would not have acted with-

“Evidently. Ruth violated Hug-

most likely will see him today.

“Huggins is running the club. not
