Those who recall him say that he was as swift as an arrow both in his infielding and in his base running. But his work at the bat was a sad and sorry sight. One day, by accident, his bat gave the ball a weak tap—hali- hearted, unplanned. It died in front of the pitcher’s box before the pitcher had waked up to the significance ‘of the weak little thing. And when he did wake up, Tim was on first. This set Tim Murname to thinking. He whittled one side of his bat flat—against regula- G. W.-C. U.

Thus- the bunt was born, It must be admitted the base ball records disagree, however, for there are some who believe that Dicky Pearce invented the bunt way back in 1860. Murname later became a writer of authority on base ball matters, and was base ball editor of the Boston Globe. He was one of the historic group that took base ball to England in 1874. Aiter Murname, the bunt fell into disuse, and, as recent as 1889 it was referred to by the sport writers as among the freak stunts of batting.

Championship games be- gan in 1871, in the National As- sociation, when the Athletics were in the lead, and Boston won so continuously thereafter that victory took the wind out. of the sails of the game, and sports- men stayed away, fearing to face a foregone conclusion. The Na- tional League started off with Chicago the winner, followed again by Boston and then Provi- dence and then Anson's Chicago team, with its nside game.” The series that now holds the fans has been holding them for twenty ycars, for the Boston g Sox and the Pittsburg Pirates began in 1903 the brilliant history of world championships. and in those years the public has paid over seven millions of dollars to witness the National and American leagues struggle. There was nothing more hea'thy for base ball than this rivalry. But pennants were not alw the fashion. In 1868, a ser of games held forth to the win- ner a gold ball, presented by Frank Queen, Esquire, of New York Clipper, won by the Ath- letics, and medals were given to individual payers, among them Al Reach and _George Wright.

How Foot Ball Is Played By SOL METZGEI THE QUESTION. How may a team overcome the handicap of a poor punter? by advancing the ball with a runnin IT is difficult to overcome such a handicap. The only possible ways are to have a better team on attack, one that can offset the gains made by an opponent in pnming by cither running back the kicl or by making up the ground lost g attack, or by building up a defense for punting which includes the occasional blocking of an opponent’s punt. This is a hard game to play for we have actually seen teams develop an ability to block kicks and then have the ball, when blocked, rebound into the arms of the man who kicked it. There are odd breaks in foot ball. Blocking punts by opponents is as difficult a feat as any in the game. Nice tifning, perfection in team work and very fast charging Is necessary to accomplish this piay. Few teams cver master it. Those which suc- ceed in blocking punts or drop kicks are only able to accomplish the play two or three times in a game when the contestants are about evenly matched. Toams which bave punters who kick below the average distance should spend .much. time in. perfect= ing this part of their attack. Long ractice In getting off the kick and in having men down the fleld to pre- vent It being run back is a necessity. In_addition, the kicking should oc- casionally be done quickly, it comes in the nature nf a surprise and thus catches the oppcnents off- side. Kick when the .pponents have but one man down the field to re- celve, and practice long at placin, the kick, so he cannot catch it. long, rolling punt is always better than a fifty-five-yard punt that drops into an. ‘back’s srms. Other games on today's card which will attract large gatherings {nclude | the Dartmouth-Columbia contest. at |the Polo Grounds; the Pittsburgh- Penn State affray, at Pittsburgh: Browp-Lehigh contest, at Providence, and Vermont's visit to Milwaukee to engage the Marquette team, which has not been defeated in more than two years. Cornell, high-scoring team of the east, has been installed the favorite over Pennsylvania, and many look for a Cornell victory of a much wider margin than the Ithacans' 9-to-0 tri- umph last year. West Virginia is the general pick in the Morgantown con- test; Dartmouth is favored over Co- lumbia; Penn State over Pittsburgh; over Vermont. Many all-American possibilities are numbered among the players who will perform in today's engagements, and their work in these concluding con- tests is expected to settle rival claims to positions on the honor eleven: The possibility that George Pfann, Cornell captain and high-scoring back of the east, may increase his total of points to 100 or more- furnished an- other element of interest. To date the Ithican has totaled 86 points. FEW GRID PLAYERS HAVE “A BIG HEAD” BY WALTER CAMP. NEW YORK, November 29.—There ‘has been a great deal of discussion recently relative to the effect of foot ball in unpalancing the players’ sense of values and giving them a dispro- portionate idea of the rank of ath- Ietic achievement. * It has been the writer'’s good for- tune to sec intimately foot ball men for many years and that, too, in a way In which all superficiality is missing. This last season, particu- larly, he has seen them even more intimately than for a long time— many teams in many games, and many of the players of these various teams off the fleld. And he thinks the talk about athletic big head is great- 1ty overdone. Take, for example, the Yale team, which the writer saw immediately after the victory over Harvard, which closed their season and brought them to the big three champlonship, and whose members he watched with much interest at a theater the same night. o one could possibly have known they were in the theater, from any conspicuousness on their part, and in fact few in the place would have known of their presence but for the fact that a gentleman on the other side of the house announced it from a box between the acts. A more modest, sober, retiring group of collegians the writer never ‘has seen anywhere, and as for unbal- anced perspective, these, as well as other players he has seen this season, have been simple, sincere, hard-work- ing and very much in earnest young men. the | Brown over Lehigh, and Marquette | Maker of “Golf's most says “Chick” You often wee putters who either hold their hands in advance of the ball when putting, or ap- pear to. If the player who does this succeeds he ix n good deal like the man with a big business who does not advertine—he merely demonstrates how he can be suc- cexnful in wpite of himself. The hands xhould never get in vance of the putter blade. The player must watch this point most carefully for the hands have a way of lending out so that they reach out in advance of the blnde without the plnyer being con- scious of it. Puttx will persistent- 1y be contrary under such circum- stances unless the player, perhaps unconscionsly finds some control method that offsets his bad habit with his stance or hands, which ix hat happenx. Keep the with the blade n xht through the b mparting a_ straight overspin to it. The firxt time you nee onme of your putts, wo struck, scamper straight to tke hole and plop in you will know there isx a proper way to make putts go down—reg~ ularly. (Copyright, John F.

HERE was a time when I thought that I had no lucky plays—that is, I lost important matches by such narrow margins I almost fancied good fortune never would be mine. I think the luckiest single play I ever made was om the Royal Liver- pool course at Hoylake in the Brit- ish amateur champlonship in 1921. It came after a number of bad breaks. The course was dry and fast and when we Americans, after play- ing on water ocourses all spring, struck Hoylake, we were driving the ball miles—often 'into trouble. My fortunate play .came on_ the 2wdifth hole. - Aften & etraight drive I ‘sliced my approach. The ball landed on the left of the green and almost plump against a four-foot stone wall. . The ball lay some twenty yards from the pin and only about a foot from the wall. To get to the green it had to cross a road and a sand trap. It was impossible to make the play in the ordinary manner. Inspocting the wall, 1 discovered that just back of the ball its sur- face was nice and smooth. Taking my mashie 1 turned my back to the green and billiarded the ball off the wall.
