It was in the last half of the eighath when the Giant left fielder smacked a drive against the left field which was good, ordinarily, for two bases. Boh Bescher, the former Giant, now left fielding- for St. Louis, figured the wallop just that way. Burns was turning first base when he saw the ball rebound from the fence and from the way Bescher started to field it he could tell that Bob valued the hit at a two bagger and nothing more.

The next batter popped out, and when the infieid drew in close Eddie Grant was able to poke a short single over second, driving in Burns. George Burns, hero of the quick thinking stunt men- tioned, won the game for the Gian‘s almost single handed. It was his three base shot in the sixth inning that drove in two runs when the score stood 3 to 0 against him. It so happened that Grant again was the first aid to the injured.

Tell me not in mournful numbers That the Ump's life is a dream; For the Ump is dead that slumbers While an Evers guards the team. ~/ Strife is real, strife is earnest And the grave is soon our goal; Cussed thou are to cuss returnest Stands the token of our role. In the game's broad field of battle, In the bivouac and strife, What are we but driven cattle Branded with the vocal knife? | ( Lives of umpires oft remind us We must sprint to beat the band, Or, departing, leave behind us Pcols of gore upon the sand.

For not only is | the race close, but most of the games fought are closer than usual, as there hag been an abnormai output of one- Tun decision. An umplire’s life is not one of the softest upon this planet even when conditions are favorable. As conditions now are in the National League, St. Peter might well say to each umpirical applicant for a golden harp: “Come 'in, poor soul; your hell on earth.” The Winning System. We notice that a German war gover- 1 nor has forbidden Belgians to fight for their country. McGraw, Robert- son, Bresnahan and Stallings wouid like to adopt the same system and for- bid Alexander pitching any further games for the Phillies, It's a great little system if you can put it through. For Future Internationals. Dear Sir: I notice whnere an Amer- ican sports writer has brought up the matter of England's sporting decad- ence after this war is over. He as- sumes 'the belief that by losing so many of her best men she will be at a loss to refill these gaps. On the other side of the matter, England will have put two million into the fleld at | hard training, where most of them | kpow but little of outdoor life in any | general sense, This war will develop, rather than retard, her athletic re- sources, and I hardly think that Amer- ica will have to wait for any long per- iod after peace is declared to find England ready again to take up her chare of international play. 5 H. H. F., Jr. The Bone Industry, Col. T. R. Cobb desires to know just | what a “bone” play is. The follow- | ing definitions may, therefore, come in handy: 1. “Bone"—Very likely a smart rlay that dosen’t happen to go through 2. “Smart play”’ A boner that very often happens to pan out through a surplus of luck. you've had And a bone play very often assumes ite rank through having arrived at some critical moment. , Some of those raled as the smartest ball players in the game have made ivory plays of colossal magnitude, only to have them escape notice because it so happened that the occasion was unimportant. The suggestion has come from cer- tain quarters that Norman Taber’'s mile record should not count. Why | not? Taber, timed by competent offi- cials, over a standard track, ran a mile in 4.12 3-5. This 1s 5-20 of a se- cond faster than any other mile ever | timed., If it isn't a record, just how does one go about the making of re- cords? 12141915 The Braves started their upward march in 1915 around the same part ! of July 'that the justly renowned i914 drive began. Tt was upon the second Western trip that Stalling’s 1aen developed their flag-winning power, and it will be upon the second Western trip that pennant chances for 1915 must be considered. Even with a rickety start the Braves are no further away today than they were a year ago. Hardly as far back, in fact. And they still have the pleasant memory of that drive to | keep them fighting, which shows how one good habit can help develop ‘ ancther. There is unusual interest PORT LIGHT ahead in observing Brave actions these next two weeks, to ses whether or not the human system 1s capable st housing two such uplifts in successive years, PR WO COMISKEY CRITICISES UMPIREH.\ whi Are Worst on Says Officials Chicago, July 22.—President Com- iskey of the Chicago Americans to- day protosted to President Johnson of the American league againsd the suspension of Manager Rowland, who according to the White Sox club- owner, has been all season the vie- tim of the “worst umpiring he has ever seen in the American league.” The charge was first made that Row- land was suspended for profanity, but President Comiskgy said that later the umpires admitted that the sus- pension was caused by Rowland's lack ' of speed in leaving the field when ordered to do so. - “Poor umpiring has cost’ my club seven or eight games this year,” said Comiskey. “It looks to me as if Row- land is heing made a mark. Umpires have called balks on my pitchers in Detroit, but failed to do so when they made the same motions in St. Louls; they beat us out of a clean triple play when we were at Boston; last Mon- day Mayer was hit by a pitched ball, but was not allowed to go to first, because ihe umpire said he allowed himself intentionally to be hit. “The chasing of Rowland was sense- less. He went out to protest, as he had a right to do, and as 1 would ex- pect him to do. He told me he did not swear until after he had been thrown out of the game.” President Johnson of the American league, when asked today whether he had received the protest from Presi- dent Comiskey, said he had no com- ment to make at this time. He said, however, that the American léeague | umpires needed no defense and that their work this year had been entirely satisfactory. LEADERS WIN AGAIN. Downpour Ends Game In Inning.
