IASKETBALL must have a peculiar literary effect upon t- those who coach the game. It seems as though every mentor wants to tell the world all about how to make more points than the opposition. Coach Barry of the University of lowa is the latest to put it down in blaL* and white. His book is just out. We always are reminded of the advice of Coach Blood, former Passaic (N. J.) High School basketball professor, w r hen one of these dissertations on the hardwood sport comes out. The wise man from the East, now coach at West Point, said a mouthful when his, formula for a winning team. Blood will tell, so the saying goes—and here’s what he told’ “Get the ball; keep the ball; P,ut the ball in the basket.” What is more simple? * • Ned Niles, the luckiest man in baseball, pitched for Cincinnati Reds Friday in an exhibition at Butler, Pa., against a semi-pro outfit. Friday, the Thirteenth, means nothing to Ned. He allowed thirteen hits and eight runs, but ICincy got a dozen tallies. Fate is llways kind to Ned. “* * * Jug O’Rum won the other day at Saratoga. If there’s anything in a name that horse should be a sure winner—especially on a wet track. ' * * * SHE veterans in baseball are the hardest to manage. They all know too much. In some instances, maybe, their viewpoints are better than the manager's. But that’s not the point. Every enterprise must have a, directing head, whether it be baseball or some other business. Loyalty, after all, is one of the greatest virtues. The Pittsburgh dissension was not entirely unexpected. Rumors of mutiny in the ranks of the Pirates have been rife last year and this. Something drastic had to be done. #* * / The officers are hard as flint up in Flint, Mich. Who ever heard of raiding a golf club for liquor? We always thought that was part of the game. * * The Indians made one run on Thursday and the same on Friday. A run a day keeps the pennant away. * * * OELEN WILLS has always been such a nice girl. We would like to see her play In the national meet, in disobedience of her parents’ instructions—and win it. This would shock every one, even the P tennis experts, who gradually are coining viewpoint that Helen’s operation likely will cause the California girl’s defeat and loss of her American title. / * * * A. G. Buffum, national roque champion, appears certain of retaining his title in the Warsaw, Ind., meet. Now you tell one. * * * Something else one can not , blame the gentleman for—a scientist says that it's the female mosquito that does the biting. These women! * * * The Rub-Tex baseball team Is scheduled at Bridgeport, Ind., on Sunday—a rubber contest, so to speak. * * * Afraid we’d have to let that man score in Billy Evans’ baseball puzzler—in spite of the rules. A famous preacher once said: "If the rules of grammar interfere with my speech* I discard them.” Guess we’d have to discard the rules. Then the protest would he allowed—proving us wTong. But we wouldn’t believe it. • • • mODAY’S FABLE —As soon as the Haugh Hotel is moved the Soldiers and Sailors Monument In the Circle will be transferred to a site to be determined later and the Indianapolis ball club will take over the Circle for anew ball park. * * * Fame, indeed, is fleeting. Just off hand, we can think of eightworld champion Pirates who are no longer on Dre.vfuss’ pay roll. They are Carey, Adams, Bigbee, Thompson, C’ulloton, Oldham, Sheehan and Moore.

Y., July 26, has arrived In Indianapolis for his tenround match with Ray Rychell of Chicago, Tuesday night In the military arena at Ft. Harrison.

MILWAUKEE EXCITED OVER INVASION OF OWNIE BUSH’S INDIANS

UNKNOWN PLAYER IN FINALS Sidney Wood Surprise of Boys’ Tennis Junior Stars Clash. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Augt 14. —A runty little towhead, unranked by the powers In tennis, was to meet a protege of William T. Tilden, called by the champion, ‘‘the perfect tennis play-, er," here today for the national boys’ singles championship on the grass courts of the South Side Tennis Club. The unheralded finalist is Sidney Wood of Forest Hills, L. 1., and the lad he meets is Warren (Junior) Coen of Kansas City, ranking player among the lads under 15. Young Wood, unknown by the ranking committee at the beginning of the tournament, deposed one highly-touted boy star after the other, finally defeating Billy O'Loughlin of Pittsburgh in the semi-final yesterday in straight sets. Young Bill ranked next to Coen in the ranking committee's notion, and was seeded in the No. 2 position. Wood was not seeded. Hardly higher than the net, Wood and tall Keith Gledhill of Santa Barbara, Cal., yesterday defeated Coen and O’Loughlin for the national boys' doubles championship. Wood with his touseled yellow hair, conductor blue blazer and knickers offered a strange contrast to the neatly flanneled Coen; but Coen's game, perfect in s#ie and form lacks the smash and fight of the weazened eastern boys. In the semi-finals of the junior singles, Emmet Pare, Chicago, was to meet John Doeg, Santa Monica. Cal., a son of the former woman star, Violet Sutton Doeg. In the othen half of the bracket, Julius Seligion, New York, who eliminated the favorite, Berkeley Bell of Texas, will meet Robert Seller, San Francisco.

La Barba earned the decision after performing in true championship style for the entire ten rounds. He floored the Salt Lake battler twice with left hooks to the jaw, once In the second round and again in the eighth. La Barba’s title was not at stake. Another world's champion on the card, Charley "Phil” Rosenberg, boss of the bantams, shared a tenround draw with Joey Sangor of Milwaukee. While Rosenberg was hardly ever in danger of being defeated, he was forced to extend himself more than once. The Milwaukee boxer, after dropping the early rounds, staged a whirlwind comeback to get on even terms before the final bell. Rosenberg's title was not at stake. Leo Wax, claimant of the welterweight championship of Australia, was no match for Clyde Hull, a Texas product. . and the referee stopped the fight at the end of the second round. More than 10,000 persons paid $55,Q00 to witness the bouts. NEGRO BOXING MATCHES W. New York St. Show Every Thursday Evening.

Famous Umpire Explains Play That Has Baseball Puzzled

( By Billy Evans. \Vteran American league Umpire. Baseball abounds in freak plays. That Is one of the most Interesting features of the sport. It thrives on uncertainty. Recently. In a minor league game, a most Unusual play came up that is the talk of the baseball world. I doubt If any diamond situation has been more discussed. During the past month I have been deluged with Inquiries from fans, player?, scribes and minor league presidents as to my opinion on the subject. After giving the play due consideration I reached a decision. Then I took it up with other umpires. I might add that some of the umpires cpnferred with do not take kindly to the decision that must b arrived at if the rule Is strictly adhered to. Here Is the play: Two On and One Out / There are runners on second and third and one man out. The batsman hits safely to left field. The runner from third easily scores on the play? T,he runner on second decides that he can also score and breaks for the plate. Tlie left fielder makes an accurate throw home and the runner trying to score from second is retired on a very close decision. This makes the second out of the inning. In the meantime the Katsman has reached second base on the hit. Unfortunately for all concerned he failed to touch first base on his way to second. The ball is thrown to first base by the catcher and the runner standing on second is called out by the umpire for having failed to touch first base en route. Now for the momentous question. Does the runner from third, who had crossed the plate on the batsman’s drive to left, score? Nine times out of ten the Immediate answer is. "Os course the runner from third scores.” But he doesn't. While It seems a crime not to allow th© ©coring of the runner from third, who had safely crossed the plate before tbfe second out of the inning, a specific Interpretation of the rule governing the play, prevents It. The start of the play is the inception of the pitch, the delivering of the ball to the batsman, who apparently hits safely to left field. Batsman Makes the Third Out The rule governing the play, says that no runs can score on any play in which the batsman fails to reach first base for the third out of the Inning. The runner on third scored on the batsman’s hit to left field. The batsman, by his failure to touch first base on his way to second] never actually became the occupant of the bajr and therefore Is considered as never having reached It. When the ball is thrown to first base, the batsman is retired for the third out of the inning on a play in which he failpd to reach first base because of his negligence in not touching it.

of the club, removed from the bench. Coincident with the dismissal of the three veterans, it was announced that Pie Traynor, third baseman, would be captain of the Pirates to succeed Carey. I No Statements None of the players affected by the ruling would make a statement on their dismissal Friday night. Dreyfuss, after meting out the verdict, said, “it was a hard thing to do, but discipline must be maintained and the interests of the public and the ball club protected.” The entire scene took place within an hour after tty> Pirates had arrived from a belated trip from Brooklyn and the team was dazed when the verdict was read by Dreyfuss. Carey, Adams and Bigbee, announced that they were preparing statements that probably will be released late today. Fans’ Attitude A survey of fans shelved that the majority favored the action of the management In maintaining discipline on the club especially since a hot pennant fight Is involved. Members of the team refused to comment except that they would continue to fight for the bunting. Grand Circuit Results .„ ~A . * 9©*hen' N. Y..

Y„ Aug. 14.—iVliss Helen Wills, national woman's tennis champion, was undecided today whether she would defend her championship in the tournament starting Monday at Forest Hills. “I have just received a telegram from my father telling me not to play next week, but I think he may have become unduly alarmed,” Miss Wills said “I sent him another wire assuring him that I felt all right and that I would not endanger myself by starting in the tournament. Eager to Defend Title "Beyond feeling rather tired after I lost to Mrs. Mallory at Rye Friday I was In good condition ©and I want to play next week, although mother and dad are against it.

After talking to him I may make a decision, but right now I feel that I will be on the court Monday."
