Do You Know Baseball? By BILLY EVANS QUESTIONS 1. Can a player, after he acted as pinchhitter. be used as a substitute runner; In a game between Chicago aud Philadelphia this summer I saw Amos Strunk fill both roles for the Athletics.—J. L. P 2. Batter tops the ball and It strikes the ground in front of the plate, then rolls into foul territory down the third base line. Umpire calls foul ball and batsman remains in his box The ball strikes something on the ground and rolls fair. The umpire changes his original ruling io fair ball and batsman is thrown out at first. What should be done in such a situation?—E. P. 3. Runner on second base, one out. Runner starts to steal third on the pitch. It is wild and the ball escapes the catcher, going iDto the crowd back of the plate. The runner scores. Ground rule is one base on an overthrow going into crowd. Team at bat contends runner had base stolen and should be entitled to another base on the overthrow.—H. A. H. ANSWERS 1. After runner has been used as pinchhitter and not put into the lineup he is out for the rest of the day. In all probability. permission was granted Strunk by the Chicago club to be used as a pinch runner. Such a think happens occasionally. 2. Umpire should have stuck to his original ruling, foul ball, even though it was fair. The batsman should not be made to suffer for the mistake. 3. Runner merely goes to third base. No consideration can be given the fact that he probably would have reached third in safety. The play starts with the pitch and. since he was on second, he can only advance to third on throw into the crowd.

BREWERS DEPART AFTER TODAY’S DOUBLE HEADER

Kelley’s Fence Busters Next Menace to Indians —Leading Saints Lose Ground at Columbus. Harry Clark’s Brewers were to perform today in Indianapolis for the last time during the present season. A doubleheader was scheduled at the Tribe yard and a huge week-day crowd was expected tQ view the hostilities. It was “ladies’ day” and “kids’ day.” Mike Kelley’s slugging Millers will open a four-day series at Washington Park Wednesday.

Jess Petty and Fred Fitzsimmons were slated to hurl for the battered Indians this afternoon. Petty had won twenty games previous to today. Jones, Burwell and Christenbury were still out of action. The Indians were idle by rain Monday, but their bitter rivals, the league-leading Saints, failed to profit by the local postponement. The Saints played the Senators in Columbus and lost, 12 to 3. Asa result the lead held by Nick Allen's club was reduced a few points. Only ten points difference appeared between Saints and Hoosiers this morning. The Saints had another battle with the Senators today and. Tribe fans were pulling for Molesworth’s team to “take” the leaders again. If the Saints lost today and the Tribe won the double bill here, tonight's standing will show the Bushmen a-top of the A. A. heap. The Indians were hopeful Today, but not sure of themselves by any means. The locals are crippled and only by consistent hustling 'have they been able to stay up within striking distance of first place. It's a thriller race.

CUYLER, PIRA TE HITTING STAR, ONCE WAS PITCHER Pittsburgh Player Quit West Point for Baseball and Has Realized Ambition as Major Luminary, By BILLY EVANS . SEA Service l Writer ror years it has been an accepted theory in baseball that pitehers cannot hit. During the season of 1923, quite a few twirlers in both major leagues disproved such a belief. Incidentally, some of the game’s greatest hitters began their baseball careers as pitchers.

Babe Ruth of the Yanks and Jack Bentley of the Giants are shining examples. Just at present one of the outstanding stars of the National League is Hazen Cuyler, star out? fielder of the Pittsburgh Pirates. ' Cuyler, aside from playing a fine game in the field, is one of the most dangerous batters in the National League. His stick work has featured the recent sensational spurt of the Pirates, which has carried the club into second place in the National League race. $ Began as Twirier Cuyler began his baseball career as a twirler. He early decided he didn’t have enough stuff to succeed as a pitcher, and he was anxious to make the grade in the majors. A good batsman, he took to the outfield. He has realized his ambition. Cuyler's rise to fame in the baseball world has been meteoric, regular fiction stuff. The Pirate star in 1918, at the age of 17, enlisted. He rose to the rank of sergeant. , Later was selected as one of fifty enlisted men to take the West Point examination. He was one of two candidates to pass. Tiring of Army life he later resigned. Leaves Army Baseball had a greater appeal to Cuyler than the routine of the Army. He joined the Bay City club of the Michlgan-Ontario league In 1920. The following year he was bought by Pittsburgh. For two years the Pirates farmed

him out, first to the Charleston (S. C.) club of the South Atlantic League and then to Nashville of the Southern Association. Those two seasons in the minors gave Cuyler the polish needed: now he is a big league star. There is no more valuable player on the Pittsburgh club. Cuyler sure can hit. Yet he was once a pitcher.
