PUZZ^fNG^DLAYS B@i| BATSMAN IS AUTOMATICALLY OUT. When is the batsman automatically out on a third strike even though the catcher does not retain possession of the ball? tt a tt THE batsman is always out on a third strike regardless of whether the ball is caught, when there is a runner on first base and

there are less than two out. Before this rule was put into the playing code, the base runner was at the mercy of a smart catcher. He would purposely drop the ball, forcing the runner to advance, and usually make a double play.

Evans

The present rule, with a runner on first and less than two out, gives the base runner proper protection, since the batsman is automatically out and no other play is possible, unless the runner or runners seek to advance at their peril on the dropped third strike. When two are out it is compulsory that the third strike be caught to retire the batsman.

The Tribe won one and lost one in Louisville, won three without a defeat in Columbus, and dropped three in a row at Toledo. The Hoosiers played today’s game as a part of a double header in Toledo unday and as a result the Betzel pastimers get a chance to rest this afternoon. On Tuesday the Senators will be here to meet the Indians. It will be a long home stand and the Tribe is expected to do some climbing at Washington Park.

Johnny Hennessey Again Member of Squad; Lott, Coer, Selected. ZONE FINAL ON JUNE 1 Local Star Regarded Highly by Critics. By Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 21. The United Stats Davis cup tennis team which will meet China in the second round of the American zone matches here later this week, probably will arrive here Tuesday to commence limbering up on the local courts. The matches will start Friday. The United States team will be composed of Capt. William T. Tilden of Philadelphia; Johnny Hennessey, the brilliant Indianapolis star; George Lott of Chicago, and Wilbur F. (Junior) Coen, the youthful local sensation. If victorious against the Chinese team the United States squad will meet the winner of the JapanCanada match in the American zone finals at Chicago, June 1, 2 and 4. If successful again the players will sail for England June 9, to be met there by Francis T. Hunter, ranking No. 2 player, now playing in Europe. Four of the players will be selected to represent the United States in the interzone finals with the winner of the European zone play, July 17, 18 and 19. The challenge round will be played July 24, 25 and 26. Tennis critics over the nation are almost unanimous in the belief that Tilden, Hennessey, Hunter and Lott will compose the team, with Coen as an alternate. It is believed by some that Tilden will relinquish his place in the singles play to Hennessey whose play this year has been near-perfect.

Here and There at Speedway

Brisk activity at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Sunday and today marked the start of the last week of preparation for the annual 500mile “gasoline derby" over the local two-and-one-half-mile brick oval. Qualification trials will start Saturday. Several thousand persons Journeyed to the speed track Sunday to witness several of the pilots tune up their chariots. Plenty of speed was exhibited and most of the “jockeys” sent their mounts around the oval at a speed better than 100 miles per. Ralph Hepburn, who will drive Harry Miller’s personal entry in the race, turned in one lap at about 113 miles an hour. His car is a frontwheel drive creation and one of the classiest appearing cars at the track. / Louis Schneider, local boy, wheeled his Armacost Special out and gave his bus a nice run. Schneider’s speed was hovering around the “110” mark. Two of the Marmon specials were out Sunday. The cars entered by Earl Cooper of the Cooper Engineering Company, if you please, are nifty looking front wheelers and apparently are capable of plenty of speed. Pete Kreis is driving No. 32 and Johnny Seymour No. 33. Tommy Milton’s Detroit Special, which will be driven by Cliff Du-

Tommy’s “mystery car” last year attracted a lot of attention and Durant will have a large following on “race day.” Ray Keech, holder of the world’s straightaway speed record, probably will work his Stutz Special out early this week. Keech’s performance at Daytonna Beach qualifies him as a “heavy-foot” artist. Whether Ray can manipulate the treacherous turns of the local track is yet to be learned.
