His family physician stated that it would probably be necessary for him to stay in bed for another day and to refrain from going outdoors for sev- eral more days. Despite the doctor’s orders, Frisch still hopes to join the team in time for the series with the Pirates in Pittsburgh, starting on Thursday. In order to do so he would have to leave this city tomorrow. e probably will decide today whether he will go to Pittsburgh or rejoin the team when it returns to this city to meet the Robins at Ib- bets Field on Sunday. He is still suf- fering from a heavy cold and he has been told by his doctor that he needs a considerable amount of rest.

Parksley is the second club within a week to be found guilty of class vio- lation. Easton, leading the loop by three games a week ago, was penalized 24 games and went to last place. The action of the directors yester- day- results in Manager Winn Clarke’s Spuds_dropping from a first-place tie with Dover to fifth place, just ahead of Easton. Crisfleld also pleaded guilty of class player violations in six instances. Only one game was forfeited, however, as the team was defeated in five of the contests. Dover, winner in 1923, now begins the last lap of the race with a four- game margin over Salisbury.

Answer: If T were a boy player I wouldn't try. There is too much risk to leg, arm and body. you or your opponent and thus handicap the fellow forever in base ball. Question : Answer: he couldn’t lose Question—When two base runners touch third at the same time, and neither is forced by the batsman, which can be touched out? Answer—We'll call them A and B. The fellow who was already on third is A and B runs in on him from sec- ond without being forced to do so. A has ‘a right to that base. B has left his base and can be touched out. If A holds to his sack he is safe. How can a catcher “steady” a pitcher? In the first place by keeping up an encouraging line of talk.
