A few days ago tye Cincinnati Reds bunted Phil Douglas out of a ball The performance was_ interesting because of its cause rather than its effect. The cause was that once Christy Matthewson had been bunted out of a ball game himself and he never forgot it. This scason when he took charge of the Reds at Shreveport he spent an hour a day teaching his men to bunt. “Bunting is invaluable to a team! when opposed by a big pitcher,” Mat-| ty explained. “Successive bunts rat- tle a big man, who has trouble han- dling slowly hit balls down in his | i and the coolest man in the! y to throw away a! ball game under those conditions. Then Matty went on to explain how | this was brought home to him in a} game at St. Louis a few ycars ago. | | infield didn’t play for it. AL CANT TOIN “FARM ARMY weeewroororcce coocooosoe. Matty Makes Use of Old-Time Defeat To Win Games Against Big Pitchers wececocecccecceoccccccce=. weceoonoocce: The game was enginecred by Miller Huggins, one of the. best guessers in the league. Formerly Matty had had little trou- ble in beating the Cards and Hug- gins fr ad on him. “The f man up vunted perfect- ly,” Matty said. “So did the second nd third. © The second man w thrown out,.but the last thing in the world a ball club would expect was a bunt from the third man and the The fourth and fifth men crossed the club with bunts. 1 working ny head off fielding those little dumped balls, so \ was My | era] other athletes are planning to en- Brothers’ College Team Wrecked by Recruit Demand St. Louis, May 17.—Navy enlistments have wrecked the baseball team of Christian Brothers College here.

Want Athletes To Compete in Scandinavia Unless the war jnterferes it is likely that another American athletic team will visit Norway, Sweden, Den- mark this fall to compete with the Scandinavian athletes in field and track events. The success of the American team that went to Sweden last fail spurred Scandinavian athletes to greater ef- forts and they want another chance at the American track experts Bob Simpson, Ted Meredith, Jo Loomis and one or two other athletes made up the last American team to compete in northern Europe. A. Bolin and Z. Zander gave the Americans their gréatest '¢ompetition and if American athletes’ do ‘not go HUGGINS vi ho . ‘catching me.” The, is “nosrimportant. "St. Louis had a. big-4iming, enough to win the ball’ game. Bunt followed ‘bunt and a wild threw or two told the story. Matty took that experience as a lesson and will work it: out on his own ball club.’ He has: already start- ed and it will’not be surprising if several big National league pitchers don't feel the'string of defeat just be- cause of that fact. ‘ Miller Huggins is a great expon- ent of the bunt. It made him a suc- cessful hitter when he was playing regularly. ‘Huggins was small and did not have the strength to be a slugger, but for years he kept near the top of the list by, bunting and out guessing the opposing pitchers. Pra ly every major league manager will admit that bunting at the right time is the best kind of in- side basenall, yel most of them qnake no attempt to teach their players the ‘bunting ~game. One reason for this probably is that players do not liké to bunt. They want to wallop the ball and it is hard to get them out of the notion. Gossett; Dickerson, Shackelford and DeBerry.

SUFFERS Mile, TLE: ony The latest strategy to be used against spitball pitchers has been in- vented this season by Louiis Guisto, Italian first baseman, now serving his first year in the majors. The big {talian has a formula which will send any moist ball artist hiking to the refreshment stands and is justly proud of his: achievement. Bert Gallia of | Washington Guisto’s first victim. Gaillia had worked with the mois- tened ball only part of an inning when his face twitched in anguish as he moistened his fingers to toss up the pill. As the inning proceeded Gallia’s itorment became more _ pronounced. Tears streamed from his eyes and his was est of heavyweight champions, but he face was contorted, 8 WHEN LOUIE GUISTO INTRODUCES GARLIC IN| CAME LEME SmeLe YOUR BREATH He called Big Jack Henry from be- hind the bat and complained. “They're trying to poison me,” he declared. Henry smelled the ball cautiously jand turned up his nose in patrician disgust. Henry called Tom Connolly, who jWwas umpiring the game. Connolly sniffed the ball suspicious- ly “I see in this the fine Italian hand |of Guisto,” he declared. | Guisto admitted doctoring the ball with garlic. “I didn’t intend to do it, but garlic is my favorite dish and somehow it jet on the ball, | dents who were attendiyg should keep to Europe this year it'/ig likely’ the A.

Football Suspended At Minnesota U: “ mainbiipdiisy May 17—The ‘decision of the university of Minnesota to take no part in football next fall was a blow to. Dr. Harry Williams, the gridiron coach, who took the position that no action should have been taken unti) next fall when the exact conditions un- der which football will be played be- come ‘known. “It may prove to be the right step,” Dr, Williams said, “but I had hoped that the question might have been left open until fall. Just at present, all is ainsettled on account of the enlistments and the coming draft and no one has any time to think about football. By September, the situation may have changed considerably.” Joins Army “I had thought that if the university had continued open it would not only be proper but desirable that the stu- up football. ‘The cream of the present football.team has already joined some arm’ of the service and will undoubt- edly prove to be valuable men Why not then start another crop of athletes who will be ready to go in a year or two if needed? “Football training is one of the best preparatory courses for making a good officer that the university can offer. IT shall cooperate in every possible way to help build up and develop intra- ru- ral football to take the place of the usual ‘big nine’ games.” OPPOSES CUTTING DOWN SCHEDULES OF LEAGUE Indianapolis, May 17.—James C.
