If only first base is occupied the infield fly rule is not effective. Neither can it be effective in any situation where there are two out. The infield fly rule was made to protect the baserunner. Prior to in- corporating it into the playing code much trickery was indulged in by smart infielders. BASEBALL NINE W. F. McClelland Behind Or- ganization of Diamond Crew Across River ings. Between the wings of the U- shaped company barracks, the ring will be built. It will be raised three or four feet from the sod and will be a regulation affair.

Twenty years ago Johnny Hayes made himself a national idol by his Marathon victory, even though it was gained because of the collapse of the Italian, Dorando, who had led Johnny into the stadium by a sub- stantial margin and who would have won had his stamina been enough to carry him over the remaining few hundred yards. The tragedy in that race over Dorando’s downfall had a comic re- lief in the protest of Hefferon, the South African, who finished second, that Hayes also was helped across the finish. Hefferon was not in- side the stadium when Hayes fin- ished and had no. basis for such a seventh inning but could do little ‘with George Pipgras. Meusel and Robertson hit for the circuit for the Yankees and Barrett for the Sox. The Cleveland Indians bunched hits off Harriss in two innings to beat the Red Sox at Boston, 4 to 2. Bill Carrigan’s crew outhit the in- vaders but Miller was strong in the pinches. Three Washington pitchers could not stop a terrific offensive by the St. Louis Browns who overwhelmed the Senators, 15 to 2, at the Nation- al Capital. The Browns made 17 hits, Manush getting four of them. Stewart gave the Senators six hits, one of them a homer by Van Als- tyne, Washington pitcher.

On three other occasions in the games of 1906, 1912 and 1924, the United States finished no worse than third. Three of the first four in 1908 were Yankees. At Stock- holm four years later the South Africans, McArthur and Gitsham, finished one-two but Gaston Stro- bino came in third for America and ten of the first 18 to finish wore the red, white and blue shield on their jerseys.
