burn, both times. however. with empty
bases, the White Legs at no time made
a serious bid for the game.
Carter exploded again, practically his
third game in succession in which his
work had spelled defeat. On Wednes-
day he lasted but one inning, the Shop
lifters measuring three runs off his
s1antS. Tom Hughes was chosen as his
alternate and took the firing line. in
the second round. Though he pitGhed
good ball and held the locals down, his
teammates behind him could not add
the necessary hits which make runs:
Big Bob Talbot was the artist for
Sedalia. He pitched good ball but gave
way in the eighth to Jimmie Cravens
after practically being overcome by the
heat.
Sedalia's three runs in the first in
ming were the product of Bauer's safe
bunt, Rohn's hit to center, McDill's
double and Lees single. In the third

ABOUT THE BALk RULE.
Pitchers Violate Time and Time Again
in Same Game.

Chicago, July 19.-With all the talk of
unfair advantages which the pitcher with
the spit BALI and foul strike has over
the batsman the one rule which is intend
ed in favor the batsuaan and give him an
even footing with the pitcher when the
ball is delivered is to a great extent unen-
forced. The games in which balxs are
called on the pitchers and base runners
take the bases which are its punishment
are very few and far between
: the improvement in base running on the
other hand have made it necessary that
the runners be kept close to the bases so
close IN fact that offenses against the balk
rules are OF very frequent occurrence
The rules against this display of the
pltcner are unusually stringent, so string
ent in fact that it is almost impossible for
the umpire to decide at times when the
o1ense has been committed. Take two of
the nine definitions of the balk for in

base 10 catch the base runner without
stepping directly. toward such base in the
act of making the throw" and making
any motion OF the arm, shoulder, hip or
body the pitcher habitually makes in his
method of delivery without Immediately

Pitchers often offend against the strict
construction of these two rules Few of
the "left-handers" step directly toward
the base in making the throw to first and
many of the twirlers throw to the bag

present figures, a schedule of prices of
