pu zzpincT'pl ays M® l ! TWO DIFFERENT RULINGS Explain why a hatter is out if a fielder juggles a ball but finally retains possession of it and a bascrunncr is not out cn a touch play in which the ball is juggled? tt tt tt UP until the fall of 1919, when the rules were given a general revision, the ruling on the two plays, the juggling of a fiy ball, and the juggling of the ball after a touch play, if finally held, was the same. At tl\at time the experts revising the playing code .decided that on a touch play the ball must be securely held, not juggled, to complete the out.

Thus, if a runner eliding into second is touched with the ball while still three feet from * he base, only to have the fielder juggle the ball after the touch, the runner is not out if he can reach the base while the ball is still in the air.

Evans

It matters not if the fielder finally retains possession of the ball on a touch play. The moment he juggles the ball after the touch, it renders the same void. In order to retire the runner it is necessary that he again secure a firm hold on the ball and once more touch the runner before he reaches his objective. If a runner after being touched, and the ball is juggled, the play is rendered void and he can be declared safe by reaching the base before the fielder again touches him with the ball. , While it is apparent the rules discriminate between two plays, that on the surface seem much the same, the juggling of a ball that is finally retained before touching the ground, and the juggling i>f the ball after touching a runner, there is perhaps some merit to the attitude taken on a touch play, making it necessary to firmly hold the ball to complete the out.

r T'HE third and best pro-amateur -*• meet cf the year was held at Highland Golf and Country Club Monday when thirty players took part. The regular meet ended in a three-way tie and necessitated a four-hole play-off for final decision. The leading best ball score was 71. Neil Mclntyre and his partner, Bill Umphrey, won the third hole and first money. Bill Diddel and Pete Shaffer won the fourth hole and second money, which relegated Chuck Garringer and Jack Tuittc into third position. a a a V Other scores were: Roy Smith and Jimmy Hamblen. 77: Ralph Btonehouso end George Greem. 72; A1 Hufford and Bud O'Reilly. 80: Wally Wiley end Dave Parry. 78: Dick Nelson ami James Stevenson, 73: Lee Nelson and Luke Lincoln. 75; Wally Nelson and Frank Shields. 71: Rov Robertson and Virgil Robv. 73: C.

Nelson and Lang shot 76, and Paulsen and Beckett 74. tt tt tt SOME one standing at the eighteenth green remarked as Neal Mclntyre came in that if Neal just bettered his. putting he would burn up the golf courses around' here. Mclntyre and Umphrey putted badly to reach 71. Umphrey putted good on the first hole rs the playoff for an easy 4. The others managed to have a 4 in their golf sack and the match was still tied up. Second shots on the second fairway were not so good, and as a result, j Garringer, who came out of a sand trap, was down in 4. Mclntyre was five feet away and Pete Shaffer, 4.

The meet, if held, will be staged in Indianaoolis. Rough details of the meet were taken up today with A. L. Trester, secretary of the Indiana State High School Athletic Association. Trester said he could see nothing wrong with the plans, but declared he preferred to wait and interview the members of the board of control and glance over the rules of the association before giving a final decision. tt tt o Golf, while encouraged by the T. H. S. A. A., is not a recognized tournament, sport and no definite plans ever have been formulated for the conduction of a State meet, Trester said. tt tt tt The meet, according to plans, would be held at the close of school and any registered high school student of the I H. S. A. A. would be eligible. a tt tt Play would be medal, either 54 or 72 holes. Each school would be allowed to enter five men, four of whom would be designated before the meet as the school team. The fifth man would be eligible to compete for the State medalist championship. as would each of the four men on- thf team, hut his score would not apply to the team total. The Times thus would crown a State high school golf champion and also detennine a State high school championship golf team. tt tt tt ROY SMITH, professional ac Avalon, said Monday he believed the board of directors of the club would act favorably on an application to stage the high school meet at that club. Play probably would start on Monday and extend through Wednesday or Thursday with eighteen holes each day. tt a tt The meet in no way would conflict or cause the abolishment of the annual Indianapolis Times interscholastic city tournament held here each year. The city meet is scheduled for June 13. 14. 15 and 16 at Coffin this year and will be staged at Riverside course next year, and will be just before the proposed State meet each year. Indianapolis high schools would be allowed to enter, but one four-man team in the State event, and an extra man for individual honors. In the city meet all Indianapolis high and grade school p.ayers are eligible.

Browns. He batted more than .400. His fielding was flashy. Every Brown fan cheered him. But St. Louis hero worship was divided for Rogers Hornsby was leading the National League hitters, as a member of the Cardinals, and rated as one of the game’s greatest second basemen. There was much partisanship among the fans for the two stars. Now Hornsby, by a series of unique trades, is manager of the Braves and as such had the club’s owner, Judge Emil Fuchs, obtain Sisier from the Washington Senators at the waiver price of $7,500 Hornsby thinks Sisier still has plenty of baseball left, just as does Sisier himself. 800 ATHLETES ENTER Twenty-Fourth Annual Interscholastic Track Meet Attracts Many.

Battle for Lap Prizes Attracts Attention; FrontWheelers Fast. FOUR QUALIFY MONDAY Five Other Cars Eligible for Trial Tests. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Drivers in the 500-mile gasoline gallop at the Ind anapoLs Motor Speedway Wednesday were to receive their final instructions at 4 p. m. today, Central standard time. Lawrence P. Fisher. General Motors executive, who will referee the race, and Starter Lieut. Lester Maitland were to meet with the racing crews in the press pagoda. Qualification tria’s were to be completed today at the track. Rain held up the tests for a time. Five cars rema ned to be qualified and W. D. (Eddie) Edenburn, A. A. A. official, expected to complete the jc’o. The field was brought up to twenty-eight Monday with the qualification of four more racers. They were Eteri DeVore in his ChromoLte Special, who toured the oval at on average tpred of 101.810 for his four-lap tria>, Dutch Bauman, who wheeled his Deusenberg around the track in 103.263; L. L.l Corum. who made 96 172, and Clarence Belt In a Green Special, who averaged 96.026. The five cars, which ivere to be qualified today were the two rernain.ng Deusenbergs, one driven by Ira Ha'l and the other by Bennie Shoaff; the Marion-Chevrolet Special vv.th Jimmy Hill s'ated to drive; De Paolo's Flying Cloud with Wilbur Shaw in the seat; and the Elgin Piston Pin Special with Henry Xchlert driving. Will “Fronts” Stand p? THE race promises to provide plenty of thrills with three contests being waged in the one. First, of course, is the battle for the 500-mile glory; second, the struggle for the lap prize “kale,” and third, but by no means last, the fight between the front-wheel drives and the rear-wheel drives. There is no question but that the front-wheel drives are the faster cars but whether the classy-look-ing creations can stand the gaff as well as the conventional rearwheel type is to be seen. The day of the front-wheel car has just about arrived and many of the experts and critics around the Speedway wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a front-wheel car triumph in the long grind. The clash for lap-money probably will be a great spectacle. Leon Ouray, at the pole. is. doped to make the break and take the lead. Leon isn’t troubled with any lack of weight on his right foot, and the race is bound to be plenty fast as long as he stays in -the running. Then, too. there’s Cliff Woodbury and Cliff Bergere to be considered. One of the features of Monday’s trials was the qualification of the Green Engineering Company’s machine. Clarence Belt qualified the bus at a 96.026 mile-an-hour gait. For four years Green has been trying to put a car in the race and Monday his ambition was realized. After taking an initial trial and running'eighty-three miles an hour en his first lap, Belt came in, made a few adjustments and took a second trial. It is the only *.‘V” type motor in the event.

A H. Means, secretary of the A. A. A. contest bonrd. announced Monday at the track that Charles Mer*. local engineering: expert, has been named official representative of the A. A. A. contest hoard in Indiana. S*th Klein, formerly held the post but reslcned voluntarily because of increased business duties. Bob McDonogh, relief driver for Cliff Durant,' was giving Tommy Milton’s Detroit Special a little joy ride Monday when his motor backfired. Something went wrong in the creature’s “innards” and Tommy had the bus hauled off tc the garage to repair the damage. Norman Batten, hero of the flaming car eoisode last Decoration dav, was out “touring” for a short while and was amusing himself by flying up and down the front and back stretches at a rapid speed. M. R. Dodds’ Sievers Junior Eight, to have been driven by Herman Schurch, has been officially scratched. Others scratched from the original entry list are the Cozette Special, entered by Prince Ghica Cantacuzino, a Rumanian nobleman, and the Bugattl Special, to have been piloted by Shorty Cantlon. There is but little last minute preparation going on at the track and the majority of the drivers seem content to leave their cars stand “as is for the race Wednesday. No driver will be permitted to work on his car between the hours of 8 p. n tonight and 6 a. m. Wednesday. Drivers and team members can sleep in their garages during the night only by special permission from Major Greene.

elevated themselves into third place in the Hickey loop, just a jump j back of the Blues and Brewers, who 1 occupy first and second places, i respectively. The Tribesmen made it three in a row from Casey Stengel’s Hens Monday when they rallied in the eighth, drove Palmero from the mound and Fred Haney cleaned the sacks with a sizzling single to center that bored through 11. Mueller, and Haney scored later with what proved to be the winning marker. Three Tribe Pitchers Speece was knocked out of the Tribe box in the seventh and Swetonic and Boone, relief hurlers, produced the necessary expert toil. A big feature was Johnny Anderson’s inside-the-park home run in the fifth when he socked the sphere to the flag pole. And this same Jchnny, subbing for Russell against left-handed pitching, also clicked off two singles. The Indians went through with-*, out an error and the third consecutive dose of defeat handed Casey Stengel nearly got the goat of the Hen boss. He inserted himself into the fracas in the sixth and delivered a timely single that scored a rur and he was stepping high until the Betzelites blasted his hopes. Expert Pinch Hitter Old Casey has pinch hit for his club six times this season and has delivered five safeties. Walter Mueller batted for Swetonic to start the eighth and reached first when Palmero hit him. Matthews sent Walter to third with a single and Milstead relieved Palmero. Warstler drew a pasj, filling the bases. And Haney connected for the blow, aided by Heinif Mueller's error, that cleaned the bases. Anderson bounced to White, Haney holding third. Layne smashed one at Milstead that the latter cuffed just enough to deflect it to Koehler in time for the out at first, Haney scoring.

A Nervous Ninth In the Toledo ninth, Jacobson i singled off Boone after one out ant' was forced on Veach's hot shot to Warstler. Koehler walked and Grimes caught the ball with a heavy bat, but Betzel got in its path and retired the runner at first. The first out in the ninth took the breath of the fans. H. Mueller got the count to two and three and then poled the ball long and far to deep right. Anderson backed against the fence and waited, while the rooters stilled their voices. Was it going over for a homer? Andy lifted his dukes high and snared the sphere barely inside the low barrier. Indians and Hens were to close their series today. 3 p. m„ daylight time. The rivals have met six times this season and the Betzelites got on even terms by winning Monday, the Hens having swept a three-game series at Toledo.

Reigh Count May Run for Turf Crown Derby Winner Not to Take Part in Belmont Stakes. Bn United Press CHICAGO, May 29.—Although an injured leg will keep Reigh Count, winner of the Kentucky Derby, from running in the Belmont Stakes, it was planned today to enter him in a later race with the Belmont winner for the 3-year-old championship of the American turf. Mrs. J. D, Hertz, owner of the horse, said she believed there would be numerous opportunities for Reigh Count to meet Victorian, winner of the Preakness, after the Derby- winner has recovered from his injury. Reigh Count will be brought from Churchill Downs to the Arlington track here for recuperation, Mrs. Hertz said after a long distance conversation with Trainer B. S. ! Mitchell at Louisville. Mitchell re- | ported that the colt was perfectly sound except for the leg injuries, which were received in the Derby. The trainer did not regard the injuries as serious but their slowness in healing caused the Hertz ! stables to abandon plans to enter j Reigh Count in the Belmont stakes, Ia victory in which would have given | him the undisputed championship in the 3-year-old division.
