Third St., Cleveland. QUESTION’S 1. Men are on first and second. Batsman hits to the right of the shortstop, who makes a great play and by a quick throw forces the runner at third. The third baseman threw to first for a double play, but the first baseman missed the ball and the batsman reached first in safety. Is the first baseman charged with the error!—F. M. 2. With a runner on first base, a ground ball is hit to the first baseman. who touches first, retiring the batter, then throws to second ahead of the runner. Does this make a force play at second or must the runner be tagged out? Is he entitled to first or second provided he can reach either one eafetly?—E. D. F. ANSWERS 1. The first baseman is charged with an error, if by he ling the throw of the third baseman he would have retired the batsman and completed a double play. 2. When the first baseman fields the ground ball and touches first, retiring the batsman, he removes the force on the man going to second. The runner going :rrt that base must be tagged out. The mere throwing of the ball to that base ahead of his arrival does not retire him. He is entitled to either first or second, provided be can reach either one in safety.

CAUTION POLICY FOR HARDWARE MERCHANTS Retail Stocks Are Low; Jobbers, Fairly Large. According to Hardware Age, in its weekly review and summary, buyers in the hardware market are holding to the policy of caution which they have been following since early April. Price concessions are reported in many places, but they do not extend to major staples. Manufacturers are frankly in the market for orders, but buyers show little Inclination to commit themselves beyond thirty to sixty days at the most. "Retail stocks, generally speaking, are low, Jobbers’ stocks for the most part are fairly large. Dealers are buying only what they actually need. Collections are reported to be from slow to fair. “No major price changes are being made, although individual houses are reported to be making concessions on specialties in some seasonable lines.” An application of cold water to the top of the head, it is said, will produce ileep.

Billy Evans Says - jr-rr r| HY has Walter Johnson lasted so long: as a big league 1 pitcher? That is a question often put to mo by the inquiring fan, because Johnson Is a great favorite. However, the greatest test of a player's popularity is measured ! among his fellow players. It is not \ putting it too strongly to say that j every American League player has ! the. greatest admiration for Walter j Johnson. IGHTEEN years ago Johnson made his American League l_ debut, ari unknown rookie. His pitching made him famous overnight. Os the players who were In the American League when Johnson made Ms debut, Ty Cobb alone re mains. Johnson lives right. Dissipation of* any kind is unknown to him. Baseball Is his livelihood, his business, and he caters to it most carefully. His free, easy, graceful style that lfiaces no great strain on the arm, •has enabled him to go merrily on year after year. A desire to merely win rather than create individual performances has also helped Johnson defy Father Time. O'" ’5 NCE Johnson is given a working margin of a few runs, he eases up, and tries to hold that lead with the least possible effort. If pressed he puts on extra steam. Well do I recall one game in which Johnson had ten strikeouts in the first five innings. It looked as if he would surely break tho American League record. In the sixth inning his teammates gave him a four-run lead. With a comfortable margin Johnson worked under wraps the rest of the game and struck out only two men in the last four innings

PROGRESS SHOWN IN WORK OF RED CROSS SERVICE Nearly 40,000 Graduate Nurses Enrolled in Society, Ready for Call, By Times B’r trial WASHINGTON. May 21.—The foundation of the American Red Cross Nursing Service is its enrollment of nearly 40,000 qualified graduate nurses for service to the country in peace and war. The service is unique, many yjears three was not in any other country in the world, excepting Japan, a service organized on the same plan, while none yet compares with that of the American Red Cross in the strenugth of enrollment and in the effectiveness of the organization. It advises upon all matters of Red Cross nursing standards in this country, and exerts un incalculable influence along this line in other countries of the world as well. Congressional Enactment The enrolled Red Cross nurses are by congressional enactment the reserve of the Army Nurse Corps. By request, they occupy the same relation to the Navy, the United States public health service and the veterans’ bureau. This enrollment is also the source of supply for the various Red Cross activities, such as assistin gin disasters, epidemic control, chapter public health nursing, and the instruction of home hygienic and care of the sick classes The service has organized schools of nursing in many countries in Europe and elsewhere for the training of native personnel. The affiliation of organized nursing bodies with the Red Cross was the outgrowth of nursing experiences during-the Spanish American War. which ten years later, 1909, culminated in a national committee on Red Cross Nursing Service that ha* resulted In a cohesive spirit of service such as the world had never known. 38,000 at War’s Close There were 7,000 enrolled Red Cross nurses at the outbreak of the World War and 38,000 at the close. Approximately 40,00 are now enrolled; during the war 19,877 were assigned to service with the Army, Navy and the American Red Cross. For distinguished and meritorious performance of duty, 282 have been decorated or cited by foreign powers: four hold the Distinguished Service Cross of our own country and twenty-four the Distinguished Service Medal; 268 nurses died in line of duty, or within a year after the signing of the armistice, and the number who suffered disability has never been established.

BLACK JACK PAYS VISIT TO FACTORY MANNED BY VETS Disabled Soldiers Greet Former Chief at Work on Poppies, By Times Special PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 21. “It’s General Pershing himself.” Such was the brief announcement at the entrance of Gen. John J. Pershing, chief of staff, American Armies, and former commander-in-chief of the A. E. F. into the “Buddy Poppy” factory here, where eeventy-two disabled men of the World War are busily engaged in turning out replicas of the Flanders Poppy to be used in the national campaign conducted annually by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. It was truly an emotional moment. Many were seeing their war-time commander for the first time. In a moment he was the center cf an admiring group of his former buddies. Present surroundings were forgotten. They were back wtth their chief fighting again the great battles of the Argonne and St. Mihiel. The entire morning he spent among them. Pridefully they exhibited their skill in molding into shape the symbolic flowers. There was Joseph Guster odj the 7th Infantry, 3rd Division, his right leg amputated above the knee and hia left leg seriously disabled. “You don’t need legs to make poppies, General,” he volunteered, as he smilingly handed one to Peitrshing. Lawrence Dimmitt, ex-priivate of the M. G. Battalion, 80th Division, showed the speed which warn him a prize in a recent contest. He lost his right leg in the Argonne. And so on throughout the morning, their war-chief went among them. There were no downcast faces; gloom held no place in the happy .atmosphere surrounding the workers. “Every one a hero,” the General murmured as he left. Snake and Ape Pals LOS ANGELES, itlay 21.—The Damon and Pythias ot a local showplace are the twenty-fioot constrictor and a twenty-pound ape. The two spend hours together in the same cage, and although 11 would be easy for the snake to crush and swallow the little simian, they always are on the most amiable terms. The ape pulls the snake's tail, beats the monster’s head and tries to catch the red, needle-like to ague as it darts in and out —all in fan, of course.
