Several years ago when basebal? was shocked to its very foundation by the world series scandal and other similar happenings, Benton was quietly dropped from tae roster of the New York Giants. No particular reason was assigned for the action of the New York club in allowing Benton; a mighty good left hander, to. drift out of the majors. s Pitching for St. Paul last year, Benton had a big year of it.

The Boston Braves were way down the list in this ree spect—Horace Ford being high man with but 60 runs batted in. In regard to the Fohl quartet it is interesting to note that of the 867 runs scored by the Browns during the season, Williams, McManus, Sisler and Jacobson were responsible for over half of them, or 469 all told. What Is the Status of Benton? ' Public Shoul Be Informed ‘ the Cincinnati club elected to bring Benton back to the big show. When it seemed as if the deal was about to be closed, President John- son of the American League came forth with evidence. in the case that held up the deal. Now it is said the Cincinnati club has decided to let the matter drop since bdth major league presidents have decreed Benton is undestrable. Whate the big idea? If Benton can’t play in the majors he should not.be permitted to play in the min- ors. If tolerated by the minors, he certainly “has. the right to advance to the majors. , Si Come on with the inside stuff, if there is any, y Just prior to the Ne' Louis series last fall which cally decided the American pennant. ‘Sisler attempted: to’ : an almost impossible play on a bad!

Sisler injured the muscles of the shouldér in stretching to the limit. He played in two Of the games with New York, but was in no-condition to do himself justice. In running he was forced to hold the arm in a rigid jwsition. That greatly curtailed his speed. In one instance he hit into a dou- ble play that changed the result of the game. Sisler is seldom doubled up on a ball to the infield. Had his arm been in shape he would. have ensily beaten the throw. Now comes the report that the Brons sre grooming a substitute first baseman, should Sisler's injury handicap him at any time the com- ing season. It is said the injury ia not improving as hoped by the inter of rest. H. S. GIANTS ARE VICTORS The High School Giants defeated St. Marys high school team at bas- ketball by a score of 18 to 13 last night in the St. Marys’ gym. The game was fast and hard-fought throughout. St. Mary’s led until about the last two or three minutes wh& the Giants rolled in three bas- kets. St. Mary’s defeated the Giants last week, 25 to 10. They are éx- pected to play again soon.

The game was on a platter for either team t grab until the last five minutes a play when but four points separated the teams. The Bisons succeeded in holding Concordia scoreless and in- creased their own total five points :n that period. ——— | Billy Evans Says | ——_——___—_—_— The intentional pass has long been a one of contention in base ball cir- cles. Is it a good thing for baseball to have some pitcher intentionally pass the star hitter in order to take a chance on a less formidable bats~ man? Good hitters are paid a fancy 81 ary for their aility to swat the The public pays to see the good ‘hit- ters do that very thing. Yet a rule of baseball deprives the batsman of the right, and robs the fan of the big thrill, seeing their favorite bata- man hit in a pinch, An intentional pass on thé part of the pitcher can bring about such a conditon. Such an act is usually re- ferred to as baseball strategy. There are many fans who dislike the inten- tional pass. The other day I recéived a vety interesting letter from a well-read) fan, who offers a very unique idea) to eliminate the intentional paés. 1 am taking the liberty of reprinting | the important part of the communi- | cation that deals directly with the| big idea, eliminating*the intentional pass. TO TT “Make a rule that whenever & batsman has received a base on balls he can, at his opinion, continue at bat, and if he then, received another base on balls, he can take two bases instead of one, and still have the op- tion of remaining at at; and if he reéeived a third base on balls; take three bases. o “In order to make this option of some value, it could be understood that if first base were occupied at the time of the first pass, the base runner there could move up a base and other base runners move: shea if focred. This same thing would apply if the batsman gets a second base on balls. “Assume a tie- score in the later innings of a close game, a man on first and third, one out and Ruth at bat. Under, present conditions, an intentional. pass would put three men on bases, make a force play to any base available to the defense; a possible double play at a number of points and a weaker bataman at bat, all factors in favor of the defense. “Under the suggested rule, after a base on balls to Ruth, the man en first moves to second, no force plays are then open anywhere, and the pitcher is still faced by Ruth. A possible second pass (moving ahead the man. on second), would force in a run,’Jeave a man on third, and the pitcher still faced with the problem of dealing with Ruth if the batsmen decides to stay at bat. He can, if he elects, take second and leave the burden of scoring. base runners to the next man on the batting order. “This plan would at once do away with intentional passes and force the pitcher to pitch to the batsman, thereby very much inereasifig the value of the hard hitter to his teain at ¢ritical moments. . e “The situatign would work vitsclf out with only one base occupied if the batsman should exercise his op- tion and take thre passes. Of course if at any time the batsnian hits the ball he muat ablde by the result of. that action in the regular way.” Beulah Coal. now $5.25 de- livereds Wachter Transfer Co., , I TT eetarrmermeremmermecrrmerra UL) r Reach You With- - — out Lost Motion — \ t — A BIG PART OF THE COST OF LIVING TODAY MAY BE CHARGED TO LOST MOTION; TO SLOW, SLJPSHOD DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS, AND TO OLD-STYLE, WASTEFUL SELLING : METHODS. Forexample, every year tons of fruits and vegetables rot on the ground, because it doesn’t pay to pick them. Discouraged growers plant less the next season, and the supply of food is reduced. Meanwhile, consumers in the cities near by grumble over high pxices.. Demand and supply are not brought together. Contrast this with the handling of oranges. $1,000,- 000 a year is spent for advertising by the vo-operative association of the California Fruit Growers! A large _ gum; yet it is only about one-fifth of a cent per dozen— one-sixtieth of a cent for each orange sold. And this advertising has kept down the cost of oranges. To quote an official of the Exchange: : yee el “The cost of selling oranges and lemons through the California Fruit Growers’ Exchange is lower today than it was ten years ago. “In the twelve years since the first campaign was launched the consumption of California oranges has doubled. The American consumer has been taught by co-operative advertising to eat nearly twice as maty oranges as before. “Had the orange industry. remained on the\old basis, there would have been no profit in growing-oranges.
