They didn’t used to do that much be- fore, and_curving him to death was Jast yvear's plan, which didn't work. This season they are pitching low and fast, and Ruth’s eve is not quite attuned to the zip of the speedy ones as yet." Joe Judge is a great booster for Bluege.

Speaker's Indians, with good hurl- ing by Uhle, bunched their hits oft the Detroit pitchers and won, 5-2.

Youngblood was obtained from the Greenville club of the Texas-Okla- homa League after the local dlamond impresario had recetved glowing re- ports of his mound prowess from various sources.

A base ball lawyer of New York city. who carried cases along when the various wars of base ball were ! waged. takes exception to the state- ment that the recent verdict of the United States Supreme Court upheld the reserve rule. He says the de- cision simply affirmed that base ball is not a trust in that it is a violation of the interstate commerce act. If it isn't a trust it cannot be fined thousands of simoleons for being on the same level as sugar, steel and other things. The reserve rule is another thing. It has to do with the contract of the player, which is an individual agree- ment between players and clubs and comes up in courts of equity: “Let me tell you,” insisted the law- yer, “that you won't find a court which will uphold the reserve rule in base ball, and I'll bet money on it, because it is slavery, pure and sim- ple.” Orioles Still fn Van.
