It. means much to get a one-run-advan- tage under the ordinary «conditions, ‘For several years, however, oné run has meant nothing in the life of a ball team, The lively ball ‘atways opened: up Possibilities for getting runs in clus- ters, Fot that reason most teams kKissed the bunt gooqby, placed it se- curely away with the moth ‘balls. ‘With a less lively ‘ball and better Pitching the bunt is sure to return to popular favor during the 1922 sea- son... It's.a grea method to put the opposi-' tion in the air, throw a pitcher off his ‘stride, one of \basdball’s most danger- ous weapons.on offense. —— | Danforth Has Usual Debut | | Allows Few ; Hits, Is Wild, | Strikes Out Many {SES casei SB ‘Dave Danforth, who is nk to make the ‘Browns a strong: pennant contender if he delivers, made: his qMajor league debut against Chicago by pitching one of Ais characteristic games. St.Louis won, 4 to 2. Jowed only seven’ hits, but he was wild, giving nine bases on ‘balls, (How- ever, when he got the ball over he was very effective, striking out seven men, The victory must have been very pleasing to anforth as it was the Chi- cago club that sent him to the minors. Knowing his habit of being wild the Chicago club waited Danforth out to the limit. This, coupled with the fact that -he -was probaly nervous and over-anxious, no doubt had a tendency to throw him off his stride, Danforth hag a wicked fast ball that is hard to hit. Opposing players ‘con- stantly accuse him. of doctoring the ball to get the break on the fast one. DETROIT IS JINX FOR MAILS | S| Danforth al- F 5, Detroit is the jinx tea: jinx team of the Amer- ‘ican League for Pitcher Walter Mails of the Cleveland club. ‘Not since his entry into the Amer- ican League has Mails been able to i victory against the Tigers. | rience that Mails has had against the Detroit clud is Very simi- lar to that of (Cy, Morgan when he pitched for the ‘Philadelphia Athletics in the days when Mack's clubs were winning pennants. Morgan, a very effective spitball pitcher, simply couldn’t win against | that old slugging aggregation of ‘Cobb, Crawford and Company. _ There is no wiser manager in base- ball than Connie Mack, and he. tried. in every way possible .to remedy the. fault, After using “Morgan: about: a half-dozen times or, more ‘against ‘De- troit with the same ‘result—his ulti: mate removal ‘from .'the ‘box—Mack saw the folly of sud} a policy... Morgan, strangely. enough, was al- ways very successful against the Cleveland team. ' On all’ western trips. of ‘the Athletics’ Mongan was excused from pitching against, the. Tigers. Against the Cleveland team ‘he was al- ways selected to open and finish the four-game series, Knowing he was. ineffective against the Tiger's; and very effective against Cleveland, Mack played the hunch of not starting him in Detroit, and using him twice against ‘Cieveland. “And it not an unusual thing for hm to’ twice beat Clevelaid in the same series. It. might-be a wise plan’ for Speak- er to adopt the policy of not start- ing Mails against the Tigers as Mack+ did, Morgan. \ If THIS PLAY COMES UP Here’s Your Decisidn _ ~ If with a runner on third and less than two out,.the ipatsman, interfere with the catcher in an effort to: get the runner trying to score from third, the runner, sual] be declared out. .

The goal after touchdown play -has -|mever’ appealed to me, therefore | its ‘elimination was pleased. : The goal after touchdown was not a difficult play and there was little of the element of uncertainty about it.

Eleven men assist ‘in _ making a touchdown, and the goal after touch- down is put up to. one man.
