In league games none but official balls ever are used Tu & general way a bat was about the samie as it Is at present, but the bat has been per focted to a great degree over the bat of old. 1f some of the bafters who could make home runs with the lumsy affairs which were first turned for base ball could pick up one of the ceful and well proportioned sticks ash that now are common in the me, the old-timers would take the ts to bed with them for fear they would be stolen before they had a chance to try them out There was another odd rule in the 014 days. The basg bag was the base and not the stake to which the bag was fastened. The result of that rule was that the runner had to follow the which is not done now. If the| broke away from the peg and | corried 15 feet out toward the out-| field. the rumner had to make it, which he usually did on hix hands and knees. If it was too much ef-| fort—and there were some runners | who thought it too much effort—they would stand still and permit them- selves to be touched out, because one | run did not have the value then that it has now. Fifty runs in 4 game common, and ne run break his heart over nsignificant 15 or runs would | last inning. so why > one was 10st in.the fifth lnning?

In these days. if the runner has touched the base he hes done his part. If the base breaks uway and slips to- ward the outfield or into the infield it makes no difference with the runner. All he need do is to stand by the peg nd let the umpire do the rest. The pitcher threw the ball from a |box & feet by 4. It did not make any ! ifference from which part of the box I he threw the ball. He simply had to | confine himself to the box. He could stand in the rear of the box or in the front. He could come up to the line on & hop, skip and jump, or he could stand still. Most of the pitchers took a running jump with the ball because they thought they got more speed on it, just as pitchers in these days think they throw the ball much more pow. erfully if they take a wind-up witk the pitching arm. After the ball had left the hand of the pitcher he was permitted to get out of the box. That is, if his last step carried him over the front line, t was all right if he let the ball go before his foot got over the tront line. 1f you threw the ball overhand it was a foul balk. How's that, com- pared with now? If the pitcher con- tinued to do that sort of thing after warning by the umpire, the latter | was given permission to forféit the |game, 9 to 0. Of course, if the piteher made the kind of balk what is made now—threatened to deliyer the ball to the batter without going through with the play—it was a balk as it is today (Copsright, 1925.)

TEAMS ARE INVITED BY POTOMAC LEAGUE Important business Is to be taken | up at the meeting of the Potomac | Base Ball League on Friday night at | the offite of the supervisor of play grounds, room 2, District Buflding. All members of the league are Te- queésted to be present, and the inv tlon is extended by President Morton A. Anderson to all unlimited teams of the District that wish to become affi- liated with the organization. As several clubs have expressed a desire to become members of a league playing on week days and Sundays as weli, and others are unable to muster teams during the week, an effort will be made to form two circles. Starting with 18 teams last year, the Potomac League finished the sea- son with but 13 on its roll.’ Divided Into three sections these teams made an unlimited amount of work for the officials and caused a great deal of general dissatisfaction. The plan for the coming season is to form two leagues of eight clubs each and to organize additional leagues if neces- sary. An increase in the amount of fran- chise money is also being advocated by several teams that participated In the Potomac League loop last season. It s thought that by raising the franchise clubs will stay in the com- petition until the close of the season and not drop by the wayside when they seem to be out of the running, thus killing interest and dishearten- ing teams that stay in and continue to play. President Anderson is hoping that the league or leagues that may be formed will be placed under the di- rect supervision of the Washington Base Ball and Athletic Association, thereby bringing the teams into close contact with the directors, who then can take care of protests and other matters that may arige.

Slemp, the President’s secretary, and read: Tt was signed by C.

The latter was the player whose long-distance hi ting with Harrisburg. when I was playing with Reading, showe! me what a job it was to reach the majors.

He one of our loudest-voiced root- ers in the series. A good distant friend in Washing- ton's first successful pennant fight was E. F. Zumwalt of Tulsa, Okla. He is one of those whole-souled fel- lows from a minor league town who supports his home team who, when the major league race gets warm, finds business conveniently calling him somewhere on the major circuit. So it came about during the 1924 season that this Tulsa business man was often turning up in New York, St. Louls or Washington to root for us, He thrilled at our achievements and was disappointed In our setbacks in the ebb and flow of season. 1 don’t believe any one was happier at our success than this loyal west- erner. Loses 14 Pounds in 14 Days. When we finally clinched the pen- nant in Boston. Nick about the most overjoyed member of the club. The strain in the last stages of the nip-and-tuck struggle with the Yankees told heavily on Uncle Nick. He lost 14 pounds in the last two weeks of the season. He turned in those days from a comedian into a tragedian. He became so worked up, in the St. Louis and Boston seriés particularly, that his actions helped lessen the strain on the rest of us. Nick was in fino fettle after we won the opening game of the St Loufs series. We gathered a flock of runs in the first inning and were never headed thereafter. Sisler used six pitchérs in a vain effort to stop our heavy artillery. After that the comedian was sure we had laid the St. Louls jinx for all time. He fig- ured, as we all did, that if we took the series from the Browns we were almost sure pennant winners, But the next day Nick's nerves gave away when the Browns batted in four runs in the first inning. He ran from the dugout under thé stands and paced back and forth with his head in his hands. I went back to see if he was sick before we teok our second turn at bat. “Sick? I'll say I'm sick. all the docters in St. Lo he moaned. “So do our pitchers. I can't stand Watching them throw balls up against those big bats. Bucky, for the love of Mike, get the boss to sock a few!” We gathered three runs in our half of the second. Nick emerged from his retreat when he heard the crowd cheer. But he went under the stands again when the Browns continued their bombardment in their portion of the inning. They scored three runs. I heard Nick and Al Schacht, the veteran's fellow coach and co- worker in diamond funny stunts, in earnest argument back of the dugout when we were starting our turn at bat in the third. Al was trying to get Nick to return to his place on the bench. g “I can’t do it. I can't do it,” Nick declared. “You watch and bring me the news."” “You need a radlo,” Schaeht replied. “Don’t take me for a crystal set.” A Laugh and Four Runs. That gave us all a laugh. We scored four moré runs, and again Nick came out of hiding. He lasted while the Browns came back with four tallies. He was a dejected figure. He perked up a bit when we scored two in the fourth, but retired at the end of the sixth, when the Browns had a two- run léad. We tled the score in the seventh. Schacht relayed the news tp Altrock. The veteran, however, re- fused to come dut into the dugout. The Browns came_back in their half with two runs. We deadlocked the game in in the ninth with two runs. Up to this time we Iad used John- son, Mdrtina, Zahniser and Russell. Marberry whs the finishing pitcher. We counted a fuh in the tenth and then the, Browns bobbed up 'again. They put three on, but one was out when Schacht, I learned later, called I need loyally, but | Altrock was | Nick out, telling him we had the game won. The veteran appeared Just In time to see Marberry make a bad throw to second base when he had an easy double play in sight. The Browns scored two runs and won the game. Nick declared he was through With base ball after that. He dldn't worry much in Chicago, but he lost plenty of weight in Bos- ton until we clinched the pennant. He wouldn't watch the game which settled the race. He wrapped a towel around his head, lay down on the bench and demanded the details from Schacht. Schacht tells the story. “How many are on?’ Nick asked Schacht, “Just one, but there goes another,” sald Al “Bucky ought to get some ome in there. Oh! What I'd givé just to have one game left in my old soup bone. What's happened now?’ Nick demanded. “Only one more walker for the parade, Nick,” sald Schacht. g “I want to g0 to the buil pen and warm up.” the veteran declarsd without making a move to take the towel covering from his eyes. “What's doing now? “Four on seriously. With that Nick jumped up and spent the rest of the game pacing back and forth from the bench to the bull pen. Once the game was ovér and the pennant won, he was just as confident as the rest of the club that the Glants couldn’t beat us in the world series.

Each of the three leaders has five victories and two losses to its credit, but in a championship play off—that will be necessary—if Eastern downs Tech Tuesday, only two of them will get a chance at the title A victory for the Lincoln Parkers over Tech will bring about a deadlock between them and the winner «of Western-Central clash that ends the regular series schedule.
