I have seen batters strike out on a | fast ball that didn’t break an inch, | only to have them insist the ball | jumped a foot. The average batter dcesn’t like to strike out, particular- ly in a pinch. Unquestionably more alibis are of- fered the old home plate than | anyq other base. Let a good hitter | pop up or grouna weakly to the in- field and, while he raves at his fail- | ure to hit, he accepts the situation | ‘a break of the game. However, let the same batter strike out and he immediately seeKs to offer a reason for his failure to hit. Objecting to the ball is always a way out after | a missed strike. If it alled | third strike it is perfectly proper «nd | fitting to~question the umpire's eye- | sight. ~ . In a certain American League game j last season something like 65 new balls were used to play a game. The pitcher working the game had a repu- tation for cheating, and the umpire in order to eliminate any chance for | protest threw out every ball that be- came slightly soiled. For years this has not been an un- common practice among the umpires. Desiring to protect themselves, any htly discolored or ened has been thrown obt of play. This system also offered protection for a pitcher with a reputation for | creating, since the umpire seldom permitted the use of a ball that of- .féred possibilities for the pitcher to resort to tTitkeFy. While the scheme worked out. it. cost a lot of money to do it.

He told a remarkable story of cour- age and energy. Fighting against the current, swimming to the vacil- lating light of the candle, Casteret, in many places of the grotto where the water met with the roof of stone, had to halt, Ignorant as to whether the brook, which in these spots as- sumed exactly the appearance of a huge pipe completely filled with rushing water, would again after a few feet widen and the swimmer find open air above his head, he had to decide whether to turn back or to chance the long swim under water. He chose the latter. “ His courage was rewarded for after a swim ander water, which he reckon- ed ut about 70 feet, he emerged into a dry gallery about six hundred feet long and quite high above his head.
