To_start with, Rice made a plain, garden varigty' of fumble of Me- Manus' fly,” the Brownie reaching sccond. Williams got a life when Picinich grabbett his bunt and tossed wide to Judge, McManus reaching third. He scoted on Collins' single to center. Johnson took Au: s tap, and through some sandlot maneuver ing, with Picinich the chief offender, Williams got Wack to third and Col- lins to second. With the bases filled and none out, Walter emerged from the hole whem Kolp whiffed. Gerber popped and Tobin rolled to Harris. Johnson's Hit Ties Score. Johnson himself largely was re- sponsible for tying the score in the sixth, pounding a double to right center that scored Picinich, who had looped a Texas leaguer to left and stole _second. Kolp was yanked! here, Pruett taking his place. Ric attempt to sacrifice resulted in John- son being flagged at third, and after Harris lined to Jacobson, Sam was caught stealing. In the seventh Judge reached the far corner on_his safety, Goslin's sacrifice_and Brower's death, only to be left when Austin made a sen- sational play on Shanks' whack, and it was the same peppery veteran Who figured prominently in the two runs Johnson was combed for in this frame. Walter walked Willlams at the outset, and after Collins skied, Austin cashed Kenneth with a double and tallied himself on Pruett's single past first. | FOLLOWING HORNSBY. ‘WINTERS, Tex.

'DEPRIVING GRIFFS OF RUN W tionals and St. Louis, is giv tally. In the ninth inning, with Judge on | third and Goslin on first, Brower hit | a long, hard drive to the outfield. | Willlams made a difficult catch, and Goslin, thinking the drive was going safe, left for second at breakneck | speed. He was beyond t>=hag when | the catch was made. Juu_ . the meantime, held his place at third and went home after the ball had been caught. There was no chance for a throw_home to get Judge, but Wil- | lims shot the ball to first to head off | Goslin, which he did by a step for the third out, making a double play. { It was in making his decision on this play that Umpire Moriarty an- nounced_ that Judge's run did not count. Moriarty’s ruling would have been right had the third out been made on the batter, but as it was Judge should be given credit for the Tun, because the hitter was the sec- ond out and the third out was not made_ until after Judge had crossed the plate. The rule governing the s&ring of runs reads: “One run shall be scored every time a base runner, after having legally touched the first three bases, shall legally touch the home base before thrpe men are put out: Provided, however, that if he reach home on or during a play in which the third man be forced out or be put out before reaching first base a run shall not count. A force-out can be mnde only when a base run- ner legally loes the right to the base he occupies by reason of the batsman becoming a base runmer, and he is thereby obliged to ad- vance.” ORDINARY lubricantsin the gears of your car become thin in warm weather and thick in cold weather.

Cobb has a slight margin over Sisler, who led him by three points before yesterday's game.
