FARRELL te N®Y YORK, July 21.—Speaking [IN of the peculiar features of the {1922 pennant races, a New York | baseball man, who does more thaa | merely look at the games, says: “Wonder if some of these fellows want to win the pennant.” | Money being the ruling influence of most of the players, he points make more money by barnstorming and playing winter baseball than by living on the glory of a world’s | nerten. | He made direct reference to no lelub, but he pointed out that star | players would have more in the long | run with the share of a secorid place lelub In the world series money and a fat winter contract than they couid get out of the winner's cut of the fall clasntc. | He pointed out that it might never enter the heads of the players to throw games, but they might play carelessly without sufficient fight if they felt that they didn’t care whether they won or not. ‘The club owners in refusing to re- peal the ant!-barnstorming rule and in declaring each fall that they made no money out of a short world series might influence some players in believing they were doing no wrong if they didn’t fight thelr heads off for the pennant. The in-and-out showing of the New York Yanks has brought forward the rumors again that Miller Huggins will be decapitated as leader of the American league champions. DULUTH, Minn., July 21.—Wwalter Hoover, winner of the Diamond Sculls, will not row in the national championships at Philadelphia in August, his club announced.

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred the failure to properly complete the play is not due to lack of knowledge but rather to sheer carelessness on the part of some player. Failure to touch a base is the easiest way to create a bonehead play. As long an baneball ts played players will continue to fail to touch the bases. If such failure does not prove cost ly the omission is soon forgotten. Otherwise the careless player goes down in history in the list of “bone- heads.” In all probability the most contly failure to touch a base is charged to Fred Merkle Chicago was playing New York. It was the ninth inning, the score was tied, two were out, and runners were on first and third. Merkle, then play: ing first base for the Giants, was the runner on first. The batsman hit cleanly to the outfield, and the runner jogged garentiy the deciding run. Merkle, jon first, ran within a few feet of second, and seeing the runner had eronsed the plate, dashed for the clubhoune. Johnny Evers, playing second for Chicago, |was thrown to him by Hoffman. the meantime the crowd was surging jon the field. Evers touched second and Merkle was called out.
