Ninth VS.. Calvary.
Foundry Finished Strong.

Fifth started out yesterday like they were
going to tear Foundry Off the top rung OF
the ladder. and the bunch OF Calvary root
ers on the north end bleachers nearly went
wild at the prospect of seeing their team
taking jump into first place.
For the first four Innings Hester was
working finely. and only three bingles and
not single run were tailed off his swift
ones. But In the fifth Johnny Sheckells,
who has been out of the game on account
of severe injuries for two weeks, nailed out
a beautiful two-bagger, went to third on
passed ball and scored on Bishops single.
Bishop stole second and tailed on Bryan's
second hit. This tied the score and pre-
pared things for that awful bombardment
In the next inning, when Hester went up
like skyrocket, the infield behind him for
got all they ever knew about the game and
Foundry pounded the ball as they pleased.
Hutchinson started things going by beat
ing out teaser to short; went to second
on a wild pitch and home on Benny Wood 8

There Is not player who gets on base
oftener than Dick and yesterday he reach
ed the initial sack four times, twice on
passes. He will add greatly to Foundry s
strength, as he Is a fast fielder. Atchison' 8
work at short was a brilliant feature. HIS
throwing was exceptionally fast and ac-
curate Billy Warman scraped pretty one
off the screen along third base line In the
seventh. Charley King made sensational
one-hand stop off B. Woods Bat in the
fourth. Hester, although charged with two
errors, made several nice stops of hot ones

Rhinock of Ohio to see Leo Meyer and ask
him to agree to having the wager called
off. Meyer assented, and the bet Is no
more.
This action on Herrmann's part may be
construed two ways-that he feared If the
bet were allowed to stand he would be
forced to resign his position on the
national commission, and that he became
frightened at the fine work the Pittsburg
team has been doing recently and feared
he might lose out Take your choice of rea-
sons for his action.
HerrQnann must have accepted Ban John
son as legal and spiritual adviser, for
it Is alleged that it was at the solicitation
of the head of the American League syndi-
cate that Hermann had the bet called off.

Blanks vs.. Duplex.
Easy Victory for COWBOYS.

The Duplex team clearly showed why
they are in last place yesterday by the
weird exhibition they put UP against the
Cowboys when they were defeated IL to T.
At the bat they were woefully weak, while
their fielding was farcieal. eleven errors
being chalked up against them. Hole was
the chief offender in this line, making five
wild throws. while Herbert threw wild
twice and fumbled another ball.
The Cowboys played superior ball at all
times and simply toyed with Duplex
Brown and Speer were the twirlers and
the former easily outclassed Speer, being
in fine form and had excellent control
Speer was wild and ineffective, and in the
face of his poor support appeared to be
worse than he really was.
Thompson supported Brown In fine STYLE
and Laframbois played his usual clever
game at second, in addition to getting three
hits
Duplex scored three In the first on an err
ror by Chute, singles by Speer, Drum and
Cullen and wild pitch. Brown held them
safe after this until the sixth, when they
got another on singles by Drum and Hole,

started off with four, added five more in

gone out in the sixth Umpire Berger ended
the burlesque by calling the game.

NEW ONE FOR
THE RULE MAKERS
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
Persons who maintain there Is nothing
new under the sun are not conversant with
base ball 1t is true that the game is not
as old as the solar light. heat and power
plant, and that may account for the fact
that something new crops up in base ball
every little while. An "inouisitive fan"
in Keokuk has asked a question which the
rulemakers never heard Of at least for they
have not provided for 1t up to date. The
play happened like this: With the bases
full and two men out, the batsman hit
grounder to the shortstop, who started
throw to first base. but hit the umpire. who
probably was behind the pitcher. The ball
glanced of to the second baseman. who
threw 1t to the plate and the umpire called
the runner out, thereby retiring the side.
The team at bat disputed the decision.
maintained 1t was blocked ball." and
that all baserunners could keep moving
until the ball was held by the pitcher In mis-
position again. The play may have hap
pened before. but not where 1t attracted at
tention, because the professional umpire
would have been behind the plate with the
bases full However search of the rules
discloses nothing but a tangle over the
play. The umpire's decision was not cor
rect, neither was the contention that it
was blocked ball" There is a rule
which says when throw by any fielder
the baserunners must return to their bases.
That makes dead BALI of 1t. But II Is
impossible for the base runners to return
to their bases in this case, because four
men can't be put on three bases, and there
is no authority in the rules for sending
batsman back to the bat after making
hit on fair ground. Yet, the rules are ex-
plicit In saying the runners cannot advance
in such case. The query was submitted
to Umpires Carpenter and KLEIN OF the
National League and to Secretary MERCY
of the American League. and all three
agreed that. in the lack of definite rule
to cover the play, they would have allowed
the runner from third to score. permitting
each man to advance base, Just as If the
batted ball had hit the umpire. This seems
the just ruling. as throw which hits an
umpire supposedly would be too wild to
retire the runner at first. The fact remains
that the situation Is not provided for in
the present code. and 1t gives the rule
makers something to add to 1t.

The game fairly scintillated with brilliant
stops and catches. Monte Cross won big

chances in perfect style Murphy, at second.
did the same with five. while Harry Davis
in the eighth inning made a one-handed
stop and that with his gloved hand. that
was as perfect a piece of playing as this
brilliant leader has ever made.
From the start IL was pretty much
pitchers battle. The elongated Fa1kenberg
held the Athletics down To six hits, which
melted them two runs while Plank allowed
but five safe drives. which produced but
single run. The weakness of Falkenberg
was that he allowed the hits made off him
TO be punched. three, including one double,
coming in a single inning, during which
both of the Quakers runs were scored.
The Nationals locked dangerous in the first
inning, for Mil led off with a slashing two
Dagger to right, and went around TO third
OH Jones neat sacrifice. Schlafly and Lave
Cross flied out to Murphy and the danger
was passed. The remarkable feature of this
inning was that Plank pitched but single
ball TO each of the four men who faced him.
The Athletics looked troublesome in their
half of the first. After Hartsel had been
thrown out at first Lord singled to right
and stole second. But Falkenberg moved
down Davis and Seybold by the strihe-out
route and Lord was left on second. Wash
ington got a hit in the second, but was
never dangerous.
The Athletics scored their runs in the
third. and earned them, too. Powers
started off badly by striking out, but
Plank singled to right. The wind helped
Anderson to capture Hartsers long fly to
left. But Lord singled again and both men
scored on Davis double 10 the right field
wall. Davis hit would have been good for
home run, but for the wind which swept
the ball back that it struck just below
the top of the fence and bounded back into
the field. Davis himself was left at second
when Seybold was thrown out at first by
Nil
Thereafter the Athletics had no chance TO
score until the eighth, the men going out
in order in the fourth. fifth, sixth and sew
euth innings In the final inning the Mack
ties got two singles. but could not score
again.
When Nationals Scored.
The Nationals secured their only run OF
the game in the seventh, on a combination
of two hits and error. Lave Cross. the
first man up. was thrown out at first but
Anderson singled to left. and after Hick-
man hit safely both men completed dou-
bic steal when Knight dropped throw to
catch Anderson at third. Stahl. the next
man up. drove out fly to Lord which the
Quaker center fielder dropped. permitting
Anderson to score. Wakefield who re-
placed Kittridge behind the bat when that
veteran backstop was hurt, flied to Murphy
and knights perfect throw beat Falken-
berg 10 first. The score:
