BY LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1925 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—Red Grange is now doing more than carrying ice this summer. He ts studying, And while he studies all of Illinois’ 1 sons are looking to the future with fingers crossed with apprehensive eyes. For before Red can play football for the Orange and Blue next fall, he must pass a special examination. He was sufficiently careless in the spring to slip up in a three-hour course, To be fair, it was not altogether carelessness. At the beginning of the semester, he was taken down with the mumps and this gave him a bad start on his work. Probably not in the history of in- tercollegiate athletics has the result of a scholastig test been attended by significance so great. side from Red's yalue to his ven, he is a drawing card such as never before existed in college foot- ball.

He still has,a comfortable lead over his rivals, however, batting. 398, twelve points lower than a week ago. Ap- parently he hes been swinging harder than usual, and ag a result pulled away from the menacing Gabby Hartnett of the Cubs in their race for the home run honors. Hornsby added two to his string and is showing the way with twenty-six. Hartnett is trailing with twenty- three. Catcher Wilson of the Phillies and Milton Stock of the Dodgers along with Jimmy Bottomley of the rdi- nals have shown inclinations to chal- lenge. Wilson is the runner-up to Hornsby with .384.

Hitting in the Western league has become more conservative among the heavy clouters, the averages showing relatively few changes among the top-notchers. Payne of Wichita stepped out in front again with a mark of .383, dethroning Bliss of St. Joseph, who dropped to second place with .281. Monroe of Omaha is third with .376, The home run hitters did not dis- play their customary activity, Payne remaining stationary with 22 and Griffin of Des Moines trailing with 20; McNally of Oklahoma City and Griggs of Omaha are stringing along with 19 and 18 respective Gorman of Denver added two more bases to his string and is showing his heels to the base stealers with 43 thefts.

BROWN Three years ago, acting on the ad- vice of Scout Pat Monahan, the St Louis Browns, paid $1,000 for young inflelder named Harry Rice. The lad had finished his first sea- son in professional baseball and had won some distinction with the Par! team in the Blue Grass league. Rice reported to the Browns the next spring. He showed promise enough to warrant retaining a string on him so the Brown bosses sent him out for seasoning under option, He played part of the 1923 season with the Terre Haute and Danville el the campaign with Tulsa in the Western circuit, He reported again to the Browns a year ago last spring. Manager Sisler was in need of in- fielders then. He gave Rice a thor- ough tryout at third. Rice showed well at the bag but Gene Robertson seemed to have the edge and as a result drew the assignment there most of the year. Rice wasn't discouraged, however. “ few weeks ago Sisler felt the need of shifting his outfield to im prove the offensive and defensive strength. He decided to give Harry @ chance in the outer garden, Rice took to outfielding lke the well known duck to the water. So great was Sisler’s confidence in the young lad that he left him in against lefthanded as well as righthanded pitching. Rice, who hits from the first base side, pro- | ceeded to smack the lefties as ef- fectively as he did righthanders., Right now Rice is playing a good game afield—and is giving Speaker, Cobb, Sisler and the other Greats of the game 2 race for batting: hon- ors. Which same cheers Sisler might- ily, Last spring the Brown pilot realized that he was face to face with the task of substituting young maverial for the uged wood in his outfield. Tobin, Williams and Ja- cobson, for a span of five years, hit over .300 as a trio. Last year Tobin fell below the .300 mark, Jacobson jumped the traces during the winter and became an earnest holdout. Williams alone seemed ready to car- ry the burden of another year, Jacobson, after joining the team found his stride, however, and has been wielding a mean club, Rice's Spectacular debut has given Sisler a ball murdering outfield once more.

A.—No, The runner on second and originally first who had‘got to third could have returned to second had he wished to do so, and the runner on third had not forfeited his right to that place because he started toward home. The last run- |ner on first who had just batted might also have gone back to first. There were three runners and a base for each of them.
