He scored four runs in a game with Washing- ton by clearing the bases with a homer. But for trouble with his eyes he, no doubt. would have continued his record-breaking performance.

Do not permit the catching of bass under a size large enough o that the bass shall have spawned at least once. 3.

LOWERS SWIMMING MARK.

Fifty Years M been found that the pitchers could batsmen. When they had so many edge of the plate, or they pitched The rule still remained in the code that fined the pitcher for hitting the batsman with a pitched ball. - The umpire named the amount of the fine and it ranged all the way from $10 to $50. Of course the pitchers still were up in arms about the rule, and it was equally true that it Was a rule which had nothing to do with amateur base bali, but it made trouble. The pitchers declined to pay the fines and aimost invariably the club owners had to make good out of their pockets to the president of the league. It did not seem to have any particular effect upon the pitch- ers, because none of them would con- cede that he ever hit a batter pur- posely, and most f them were argu- ing constantly that it was the bat- ter who got in the way dellberately. New regulations were Inserted about the umpires. The system of naming umpires for the games never had been good and the new rule was the first step toward the professional staff or umpires, which has been found to work much better than any other plan for prof¢ssional base ball. The rules saw fit to tell the um- pire what was expeoted of him and there was a long declaration of code etiquette which read as follows: “The gentleman selected to fill the position of umppire must keep constantly in mind the fact that upon his sound discretion and promptness in conduct- ing the game, compelling players to observe the spirit as well as the letter of the rules, largely depepds the merit of the game as an exhibi- tion and the satisfaction of specta- tors therewith.

Pick out the best when you want to follow some one. Studied Way to Stop Ty. McBride knew what he was talk- ing about. He was a great shortstop when Cobb was a terror on the base paths. In 1920, my first year as a | regular, Cobb stole only 14 bases. This was his lowest mark, barring his opening season with Detrolt, up to that time. I guess I underrated | him a bit until he fooled me several times. Then I studied out a way to stop him. I figured that for all hi wonderful sliding to get away from | an infielder he had to come back to the bag with his fingers or toes. 1 decided that if I went after him I was lost. 1 made up my mind I'd let him come to me, I would wait at the bag for him to come in and then tag him. Thereafter he didn't steal often on me. 1 don't know whether or not the system would have worked when Cobb was in his prime. Cobb, as playing manager, always kept his men on their toes. He in- spired them by his own deeds. He would never say quit. There was an example of this in 1922. Washington was playing Detroit. We had a long lead going into the ninth. Ty kept a club, apparently badly beaten, fighting all the . Under his driv- ing the Tygers bobbed up in the ninth with nine runs and won by 11 to 9.

For the first time these rules de- fined hindrance by an adversary in fielding a batted or thrown ball. It also was in these rules for the first_time that scoring became recog- nized as part of the game which real- ly meant something to it, and out of recognition of scoring grew the splendid system of base bail records which has- become identical with the. game from those days.
