St. Louis ‘against Philadelphia, aid Detroit against Washington were the two western winners, but the real thrill was furnished by the last place White Sox, who frightened the New ! York Yankees into going 10 innings, finally succumbing in a desperate ef- ifort, 7 to 6. The Yanks having lost. three straight needed the game and they gave every ounce of their power to win, It meant more than a victory | to them, for St, Louis with a stronger | attack than the Sox mauled Ed Rom- | mel, one of Connie Mack's stars, and won over Philadelphia, 10 to 3, giv- ing the Yanks a wider margin. Cleveland dropped the weak Boston Red Sox with a chance to go into second place. They are only three points behind the Athletics who, mo- mentarily at least, lost their punch. The other westerner to win was De- troit, which shut out Washington and collected three runs. The victorv gave Cobb’s team a look-in on the eastern invasion and bunching Phila- delphia, Cleveland and Detroit gave the battle fog second place in the American a more realistic turn. The New York Giants beat the Cubs 8 to 3, batting out a victory over Jack Bentley. The Baltimore star failed to pitch winning ball and was 'yanked. Brooklyn took a beating from the Pirates and relinquished second place to them. The score was 5 to 2, | “Bad Luck” Adolphe Luque, the Cuban star, continued to laugh at his | jing, winning his sixth game out of seven starts by allowing Boston only three hits. The score was 7 to 1. Philadelphia and St. Louis did not play. { Do You Know | Baseball Questions | ONE-—Is there any way an umpire ; can hurry dilatory tactics on the part of the pitcher after he once | gets on the rubber? tWO—When can a pitcher who has been announced to start the game | be removed from the box? THREE—Can a base umpire call 2 | balk on the pitcher? FOUR—If a pitcher while standing on the rubber snaps the ball to | the third baseman without any preliminary step in the direction | of the base, is it a balk? | FIVE—Who has the right to decide ! whether or not a game will be / started when bad weather condi- ; | tions exist? Answers ONE—With runners on the bases the umpire can call a balk if he is of the opinion that the game is unnecessarily ‘delayed. Umpires seldom resort to stich ‘drastic ac- | tion. If no runners are on it is ; @ balk ff pitcher fails to dejiver same within 20 seconds. i TWO— Pitcher announced must pitch until one batsman js retired | or becomes a base runner. THREE — The base! umpire has such a right but he usually leaves | the enforcement of same to plate umpire, FOUR—Pitcher makes a balk in 80 ‘Woing"He must step in direction of the base befere delivering the ball to same. FIVE — Homie, manager has the right as to starting a gathe. The moment it is started #’s up to the umpire. | FREAKISH PRANK OF WIND SENDS GOLF j MARCH ‘TO 218T HOLE.

Prior to taking up umpiring Holmes took a fling at the man- agerial game in the bushes.
