With a runner on first, the bats- man hits to the third baseman, who fumbles the ball, and, seeing he has nce to make a play at second, his throw to get the man at The throw is bad and bounds first. off the first baseman’s glove. The coacher gets in front of the ball so that he deflects it into the home team’s dugout. Under the rules a thrown ball that goes into the dug- out entitles everybody to advance two bases. The umpire thought the coacher intentionally interfered with the thrown ball, purposely getting in the it, so that it might be deflect- ed, throwing off the players who were backing up, as well as the field- er making the play. What about such a happening? THE INTERPRETATION Since the umpire thought the coacher intentionally interfered with the throw, the runners, under the rules, were compelled to stop at the base last touched by them. Instead of permitting the runner on first to go to third and the bat-7 ter to second, since the verthrow went, ifta the dugout, which ordi- narily entities all runners to ad- vance two bases, the runner on first should be held at second and the bat- ter at first. The coacher, for his offense, is pen- alized by being,.ramoved from the playing field.) ++ 5 Kinks o’ the Links | Where did Bobby Jones finish in the national open last year and what was his score? , Jones finished in a tie for second & Cf | > Mays, Hero of ’21 Series, About to Leave Big Show By NEA Service | New York, Aug. 4—Carl Mays, | pitching hero of the 1921 world ser- | ies, is almost, at the end of his career as a big leaguer. A hero two years ago and a bench | warmer today, lucky to start a game! That sums up the story of Mays, Mays’ fate simply proves that base- ball is a mighty fickle playmate. Last year the Yankees asked for waivers on Mays. It was intended to send him to the Pacific Coast League | in a deal for Pitcher Jakie May. All| the major league clubs waived ex- cept the Cincinnati Reds. Failure of the Reds to alone prevented Mays from shunted to the minors last winter. That is almost certain to be his fate before the opening of next sea- son. This year finishes Mays’ three-year contract calling for $15,000 a year. Right now Carl is getting his money for acting as bench warmer and or- casional relief pitcher. Carl sounded the finish of his carcer ‘as a big league star, Cleveland won, 13 to 0, pounding Mays for 20 hits, many of them for extra bases, Fohl Likely to Move O By NEA Service \ Boston, Aug. 4.—Opening of the to find Lee Fohl, now manager of the § Louis Browns, at the head of hi third major league club.

NEA Service Writer, New York, Aug, 4.—When an ir- resistible force meets an irresistible force, what is going to happen? / That is the interesting problem that probably _will be settled soon, when Jack Dempsey, world’s heavy- weight champion, meets Luis Firpo, who, in the short space of one year, has fought himself into the front rank of the contenders for Jack's title, A rushing attack that crushes everything in its way; a terrific punching ability that batters down everything that opposes it; a nat- ural fighting instinct that takes the place of gymnasium taught skill; a joy in combat and a dogged determi- nation that has but one object, the bringing down of the luckless mor- tal tossed into the same ring with them — those are the outstanding characteristics of the two fighters whom fate has seen fit to make con- temporaries, Dempsey More Skillful, Dempsey has the more skill. In his own awkward way he is the better boxer of the two, He is also a shade faster in the ring. His more extensive experience in the ring, the confidence that goes with the knowledge that he is the world’s champion, all combine to give him an advantage that would be hard for the “Bull of the Pampas” to over- ver Boston Way in Spring pts Eee TON SEPM Wa tre A ert eR? Looks Like “Battle of the Ages” When Dempsey and “Wild Bull” Meet LEE FOHL come, were it not for his peculiar mentality. Luis Angel-Firpo feels that he is destined to become the world’s heavyweight champion. That through the possession of the title he is to become a rich man, That was the vision that came to him as he climb- ed the Andes in South America as he set forth to his first fight. That fecling has never left him throughout his career in the ring. It is the secret of the quiet busi- ness-like way he fights in the ring. It is the secret of the never-chang- ing expression that carves his face into a granite mask, a mask unaf- fected by pain or joy, success or fail- ure, Real Pugilistic Classic. It’s uncanny, ‘that expression. The crashing impact of the mighty | Willard’s ponderous fist brought no change. The sight of the fallen giant, brought to his knees by the power of Firpo's own driving fists, left that expression unchanged.| It is the same “brooging look that Napoleon, “The Man of Destiny,” wore, ‘ To Firpo, Dempsey is nothing more than the last obstacle in the way of the fulfillment of that vision of the heights that he had when he climbed the Andes a few short years ago, If the Dempsey-Carpentier fight was “the battle of a century,” the Dempsey-Fitpo fight shoulg be “the battle of the ages.” That of course entitles B to the honor on the next tee. ipa ir Is there a penalty if a player's ball strikes a flag stick which has been permitted to remain in the hole?

Dickson, has many new and desirable features, chief of which might be said to be the fact that it is available for wo- men the same as for men. A woman pat wer is not any more liable to accidents that a man; she pays the same railroad fare, and under this new device her insurance protection Ys at the same rate, A feature of the device is that the insurance is sold to cover short or long trips and the insurance premium is not so much per day, but is fixed at an amount equal to one per cent of the cost of the railroad ticket. Thus, a passenger purchasing a tic- ket for $1.00 or less, can have the in- surance protection while on railroad property about stations or on trains igeident to the trip for one cent ad- tional, An excursion trip to the coast, costing $86 for the round trip, would carry with it the insurance for an a@ditional 86 cents, good until the ticket ia used and the trip complet- ed. Trips to the south or other se tions are covered similarly. The in- surance is suspended if the ‘passen- ger takes a) stop-over and automa- tically goes/ into force again when the journey is resumed. New features of the device are that the insurance covers women, as stated, and covers every accident on railroad property about stations or on trains incident to the trip called for by the railroad ticket. Injuries, fatal or otherwise, inflicted by train robbers or caused by ° maligtous wrecking of the train, are also cov- ered. This accident insurance device is expected to be adopted generally by railways. It is sold at all ticket of- fices of the railroads which have adopted it. The principal indemnity is $5,000 for loss of life, with suit- able indemnities for major injuries, and up to $26 per week for loss of time for ‘total disability, for both men and women. The device has a simplicity that is interesting. A master blanket pol- icy, issued by the United States Fide- lity and Guaranty Company, is issued to the railroad company for the ben- efit of all the passengers who de- sire the insurance when they pur- chase tickets, The passenger pays one cent additional for each dollar or fraction of. his fare and receives a coupon attached to or identified with his railroad tickét, entitling him’ to the ‘benefit of the master blanket policy. Facsimile copies of the pol- icy and other informative matter concerning the device are distributed by the ticket agents at all stations. $130,000 FIRE LOSS AT MINOT Minot, N.
