It is said that McGraw’s signing | ot Jennings as his assistant was | merely a forerunner of what he had in store for the former Detroit | manager, the ultimate leadership | of the Giants. Jennings and McGraw played to- | gether on the old Baltimore Ori-} oles, They are of the same schpol, | the real fighters. Jennings knows the M yle better than any | other manager in one Serving as McGraw's a to quit | baseball country. sistant for the past few years has merely served .to polish Jennings up. Stoneham, it is said, intends to retire from baseball to go back into the racing game. Such action on} his part™means McGraw for the presidency of the club and Jennings as manager. Five Regulars _ | Fail to Make | Home-Run Drive ‘Last season 524 ome runs were made in the American League. {| Fifty ne players participated in 100 or more games during the geason. Such players are regard- ed as the regulars. | Most of the home runs made | were contrbiuted by the 59 regu-} lars, yet five of them failed to| ‘break into the circuit-swat col-| umn, | This quintet included Johnson of the White Sox dy” Ruel Boston; Bill Wambs- | ganss, Cleveland; Bassler, Detroit, and Mulligan of Chicago. The: first three named took part in over | 140 battles, while Bassler toiled in 121, and Mulligan 103. | Not only did Bassler fail to lace | ‘Out a single four-ply swat all sea- son but he didn’t even get a triple. | The only extra base spokes the, Cobb ‘backstop accrued were 14| doubles. Ruel wasn’t much better, | either, the Red Sox catcher com- piling but one three-bagger, and 15 two-base hits. Bassle, though, ‘was the only one of the five to bat | ‘over .300. | “Of the “big fellows,” Eddie Col- | lins, Chicago star, and “Stuffy” Melnnis, Cleveland, just | escaped the ignomy of not getting a home Tun throughout the season. Each knocked out one “round-the-bases” crash. f Basketball Quiz | TOUCHES BALL. - | If a player who has put the ball in play from out of bounds touches it again before it has been touched by another player, what happens? ~ The ball goes to an opponent out of bounds for such an offense on the| gart of the player putting it in play.

While Cobb dmits this is true to a certain ex- tent, he says that southpaws a whole do not handicap him to any extent. What pitcher, tm his 1% years iu the American League, has been the most troublesome to Cobb? Of hand you might think it was some of the big stars of the game fellows like Walter Johnson, the late Rube Waddellor Cy Young, now liv- ing the life of a gentleman farmer. Nothing doing on that line ot Coby frankly admits that man of the St, Louis who was forced to quit baseball last year because of _poor health, gave him more trouble than u other pitcher in the American Carl Browns, many American was regarded as a “nothing pitche In baseball, ‘a “nothing pitcher” is one who has just ordinary speed and a fair curve. That was the most of Weilman’s repertoife, but in addition he had a by League player change of pace and wonderful con-| trol. “Weilman knew the type of pall I liked least, and just where I didn’t like it. He would proceed to serve me on such a dict through the en-| tire game,” is Cobb’s explanation of why Weilman proved so troublesome. In other words, he always pitched intelligently. ~ sion of the ball immediately places it upon the free throw line of the team entitled to the throw. The throw for goal must be made within ten seconds after the ball has been placed on this line. POSITION, When the ball is being put in play at the center of the court by the referee tossing the ball, what posi- tions are the other players required to take? The other players may take any position they desire, provided they in no way interfere with the jumper, HUGGING BALL. ving pos: 's it close to his body is 1 the ball hug \it regarded a foul? Hugging the ball is not regarded a foul.

If so are there anyyexceptions? If the goal is missed the ball con- tinues in play with but two exeep- tions. - First-—-In case pf a double foul, the ball is dead after the first throw and shall be put in pay at center ter the second, Second—When two or more free throws are awarded a team, the ball is dead after each free throw except the last one, the ball continues’ in play. GOALy If a team having the right to a free throw makes a goal, how 1s the ball put in play?

League. Most any kind of pitching would have stopped them. “The cri said Scott had great speed but any player who watched his game will tell you that his speed was just so-s0. Ordinarily, the Yankees would have murdered it. McGraw can’t bank too strong- ly on him. Really, Nehf is the only certainty. “That stuff of McGraw’s may look great against the Yankees, but it isn’t going to make much headway in the National League. McGraw really needs two seasoned veterans unless some of his young- sters come through in great style,” concluded the veteran star. Evidently John J. McGraw feels just that way about it as he is in the market for pitchers. Dope on Two Wild Men of American League Officiaf pitching ‘averages of the Amer'can League furn'sh an inter- esting sidelight to the argument on the trade that Detroit and -Boston put through at the close of the sea- son and which takes Howard Ehmke to Boston and brings “Rip” Collins to Detroit. Collins and Ehmke lead the league in passing batsmen. Collins walked 103 and Ehmke passed 101. Coll'ns has a wider edge on Ehmke than the figures indicate for he pitched, in less games, These two pitchers are the only hurlers who passed 100 or more batsmen. . Ehmke worked in 45 games, win- ning 17 and losing the same number, for a total of 34, although he is cred- ited with pitching but 13 complete garhes, Coll ns pitched in 32 games, won 14, lest 11, and had 15 completed games, Collins allowed an average number of 3.75 earned runs per game and Elimke allowed 4.21. Collins won eight of his last nine games and scored six victories in succession. £ HIDES IN ARMOR; NABBED Paris, Jan. 8—A thief, seeking to rob an antique dealer, climbed into a suit of armor to hide.

Much of the, new law was taken from the similar laws of Utah and California, and has the endorse- ment of Mary N. Downey, diggctor jand librarian of the state library liminary investigation ‘and survey of such laws. Her wide experience in library matters, coupled with an in- timate knowledge of the workings of ;the county, library law in other states ;was sought in the drafting of the new bill for submissior to the state legislature at this segion. The bill, in part, reads as follows: Section 1. The county commission- ers may levy annually a tax not to exceed one mill on the dollar of all axable property in the county for the establishment -and maintenance | of county public libraries; provided | ‘that on a petition for said library by ten per cent of the taxpayers of the |conut, the county commissioners shal jlevy the tax; provided that the jamount accruing from the tax from \municipalities maintaining free pub- llie libraries may be turned over to the local boards; provided also, that if the local board makes application for and receives the funds raised within the corporate limits, that municipality shall not participate in \the benefits of the county library. |. Section 2. If there is a free pub- llic library in the county that, the board of county commissioners may contract with the board of directors |of such library, upon such terms jand conditions as may be agreed up- on between such boards, forgthe use ,of such library, by all such residents of the county, and may place under the supervision of said library board the county library funds, hereinbe- ‘fore provided for, to be spent by |said board for the extension of tne free use of said library to all resi- dents of the county, excepting those residing in such places as are ex- empt, according to to the provisions of section one. The bill further provides that county .commissioners may contract with the county board of adjacent county library for library service to the whole or any part of the coun- ty under their supervision, upon such terms a smay be agreed upon ex- cept incorporated towns and town+ ships maintaining tax supported 1i- braries. | LIBBY WRITES OFN.P. LEAGUE Professor at University of N. D. Tells of Election 4 “The recall election of Oct. 28, | 1921, resulted in the recall of the | Non-Part'san League officals who composed the industrial commission. | At this election, also, the constitu- tional amendments and initiated laws | which were proposed for the pur- pose of changing or overturning the programme of the Non-Part’san lea- gue were all defeated by substantial | majorities,” is one passage in a 4,000 word report on North Dakota under the “new day” as written by Orrin Grant Libby, professor of American History at the Univers'ty of North | Dakota for the “1921"—three vol- | ume supplement to the Encyclopaedia Brittan’ca which has recently been issued. | Praf.
