Byron is known as the most technical man in baseball, not ex-| cepting Terr Connolly of the! Americin League, who is fussy about | the minor features of the game.

This truth was demonstrated in the 1922 world series between the | Yanke nnd the Giants. Sometimes the error is mental, more eften it ih mechanical. | In the second game of the series | Boh Showkey got a curve ball high and inside to Emil Meusel. He hit a home run into the left field bleac ers. Two were on at the time. Those three mms were all the Giants made, The game ended in a 3 to 3 ten-inning tie. Shawkey knew that such a ball| was in Meusel’s groove. He had pre-| viously fooled him badly on low curv outside. The high pitch was | a ph 1 error. Shawkey’s arm| simply disobeyed the command of his brain. | Kelly Likes Fast Ball In the final game with two on the bases and the Yankees leading, Joe Bush and Miller Huggins disagreed over the passing of Young. The man- ager’s s' Ww: final, Kelly, a fast ball hitter, was the next at bat. | Bush either tried to slip over a fast one. or in anger pitched in Kelly's! groove. A single that decided the world ser was result. pitehed balls had the Yankees’ Eddie Plank once remarked to m “A world series ball game is differ- | ent from any other contest, because | you must put much thought back of | every pitch. You can’t take any | foolish chances.” Mack Strong For Plank Last season, while discussing pit- | chers with Connie Mack, I asked/him | who was the greatest left-binded | pitcher he had ever seen. | Mack doesnt’ jump at conclusions, | he weighs his words. He looked off | into space for some time and then | replied ‘ “There never was a greater left- | handed pitcher than Rube Waddell, | never a more valuable one than Ed- | die Plank. “Waddell had unlimited ability, | so much speed that he could buzz! his fast one by the batter, while his | curve was almost unhittable. Plank didn’t have the stuff of Waddell but he possessed a master brain.” | All of which merely proves that it | is an easy matter to toss off a bail | game through a couple of badly pitched balls. In a world series ball game there | must be much thought back of every ball pitched, as Eddie Plank-remark- ed. CHECKER TOURNAMENT Jamestown, N.

That was the cue for the other umpire. “Seems to me you should have hung out the distress signal today when all the brother members of your order were around you at the plate.” “Why so?” asked Hildebrand. “Well, it's just like this,” replied | the other umpire. Last month Ij was working with Dineen, who is a| Knight of Columbus. He got into a jam, and as five or six Knights of. Columbus started to rush up to pro- test his ruling, he made a peculiar pass with his hand; they all quickly returned to their position and nol a single word of protest was utter- ed.” Of course, no such an incident ever happened, but no doubt Hildebrana is convinced that the K. of C’s are a bit more loyal on the ball field. |Cubs’ Star Shortstop Will Take Pointers From His Hero as a Kid The idol of Ch ey Holloche: shortstop of the Chicago Cubs, dur- ing his school days in St. Louis wa Bobby We There were many afternootis wh: Hollocher played hookey from school and climbed the fences at Sportsman: Park to Wallace p! hortstop with the Si Louis Browns The scene changes to hte present hour.

Chinese Seeking to Preserve All Trees Planted at Kiaochow Tsintao, Feb. 12.—Restoration of Kiaochow leased territory to China by Japan has given the Chinese de- partment of agriculture a new task in the preservation of millions of trees planted by the Germans during their occupation. Even in the recent period of transition, when Japan- ese vigilance became relaxed, the Chinese population of the territory began cutting trees, Up to that time the Japanese had protected trees and shrubs with the utmost rigidity—so much so that anyone tearing a root from the ground without authori- zation was subject to severe penalty.
