queens taste yesterday on Pete Dan

P. J. S.-The question depends wholly
on where the second of the runners
was when the man between first and
second was put out. If the man at
bat made a hit sufficiently long to en-
able MIN to get nearly to second base,

have crossed the plate before the bat
ter was put out. The umpire, however,
must decide.
Second Baseman Nicholson, who
strained some of the ligaments of his
right thigh, is resting easily. In fact,
he suffers no pain SO long as he does
not attempt to leave his bed. Last

for him, but he gave mis- leg twist
and the pain was SO sevex~ that he
tainted and fell to the floor. Dr. Martin
informs him that the ligaments We
not torn, and that he will be able to
move around pretty freely in a week,
but nobody can give him any informa-
ton as to when he will be able to play
ball again.-Detroit News.
