Opposes Draft Clause. SALT LAKE CITY, February 12.— President H. W. Lane of the Salt Lake <lub is against the proposition of the Coast League accepting the draft clause in the new national agreement. Kauff Signs With Giants. NEW YORK, February 12.—Benny Kauff, New York National outfielder, has signed. He was traded to the Toronto Internationals last season for Vernon Spencer, but was recalled. There were runners on first and third when a batter hit a low liner back at the pitcher. The pitcher was off his stride and had no chance to make a play on the ball. It struck directly in front of the pitching rub- ber, and on the first snappy bound, hit 'the rubber. Like a flash it bound- «d over the foul line between home and third. Had it continued on its way it would have been good for at Jeast a double. The runner on third scored, the runner on first went to fhird, and the batsman reached sec- ond before the ball was gotten back into the infield. What about such a play? ; The Ball Was Fo The ball was foul. The runners should have been sent back to their Tespective bases and the batter made 10 hit over again. a fair hit ball says it must settle be- tween home and first or home and third. or is in fair territory when Bounding to the outfield past first or third. In this case the ball hit the pitcher's box and then crossed the foul line between third and home and finally settled in foul territory, thereby . making it a foul.

Last summer the crews were coached by Clarence Hecox, the same who sat in the boat with Edmonston in 1903, and he still is in charge. Members of the club_expect his boats to accomplish great things before the 1921 season is finished. In most organizations back of what- ever success is attained usually is & powerful influence which seldom is heard from or which seldom is given or gets real credit for work done. That is true of the Potomac Boat Club and John Nolan is the man whose influ- ence has always and unostentatiously been exerted to build up and maintain high standards of sportsmanship and competition.
