DIZZY BALL YARNS
ASTOUNDING STUNTS TOLD OF IN MAGAZINE BASEBALL
 FICTION.
HERO MAKES 4 BASE KNOCK
Uncle Ben shibe Tells Good Story on Himseif-When Dad Clarke Was Lost--Jinn DeIehanty's
 Batting Streak.
sY HueH s. FuLLERroN.

Baseball is the great American game. Which statement is bromidisn enough for anyone. used to think that every one knew the basic rules and princi- ples of the gsme-but no longer. I've been reading baseball fiction. The two exceptions to universal knowledge of baseball are magazine editors and mag Rzine writers. to judge from some of the stories printed in the last year.
 The most exciting yarn of all. print ed seriously by one of the second class first class magazines had a wonderful climax. The score was to in the last half of the ninth inning The bases were filled and the hero was at bat with two out. Now what do you suppose he did? The writer had him hit home run. and ended up the game with the score of to 3, and the hero being carried around by wildly ex cited crowd of admirers.
 Immediately after reading another story I released the hero uncondition- ally. It is rather odd, but the hero al ways comes to bat in the ninth inning, and I've never known him either to strike out or hit a fly. Indeed. in seven baseball stories l have analysed within the last week the hero has bat ted 1000 and mostly home runs and. as far as l can learn. no one has even drafted him. But this hero was wonder. He was captain of the team. His great pal and assistant hero led off the Ninth with a two bagger and was sacrificed to third. With one out and run needed to win the game the next batter hit the ball mile to cen ter field The fielder went clear back to the fence, leaped, caught the ball. hit the fence and was unconscious. Now. what do you suppose that runner on third did? Why. he calmly stuck around third base until the center field CT recovered consciousness and re fused to score until the hero made a base knock" Chats what the writer called it.
 The third hero was a pitcher and a wonder. In the ninth inning his team was in lots of trouble. The opposing team had the bases full with one out, and his rival was at bat with three btAAAo f@-4l L1 AE utAJ HANAA- ed him three sweeping outcurves so far from the plate he missed them. and struck him out" Good waiter, that rival The writer even fails to record the sayings of the manager when the rival took his swings at those balls. One of the best bits of judgment in any of the stories was that of the cap-' tain who. in the eighth inning. with the score 5 to 0 against his team, got runner to first base. then sacri- feed, ito save the disgrace of a shut out" The opposing pitcher fumbled the bunt tho wonder if he knew the game he'd be surprised too much to pick it up), and turned the tide, and the hero's team won. Just how he managed 1t I haven't figured out, for, according to the story. he bunted in

SOME SHOOTING BY
 THE ANGELS SUNDAY
Weakest of Rifle League Teams Springs Gigantic
 Surprise on Locals

The Los Angeles Rife club broke all records for POO, 300 and 500 yards in the Pacific Coast Rifle league Sunday in the shoot witt the Southern Ca;ifornil Rifles by running up a score of S19, their op- pobent's score boiES S06.
 The previous high score of the season in the Pacific Coast aggTe- gation was that made by Tacoma in the recent match against Bisbee-- S14. The new pace set by the Angels, however, goes the Tacoma club five points better.
 Some Big Surprises.
 The Angels have never been con sidered strong contenders Tn this neck of the desert and local Tifiemen are at a loss to account for the shooting spasm that took hold of the new champions last Sunday. Bis be easily defeated the Los Angeles club and was headed strong for the wire when Tacoma came along and soaped the chute for the locals.
 The Los Angeles Examiner has the following to say of the Los Angeles Southern California match Sunday:
 Existing rife records for 200. 300 and 500 yards went to pieces worse than the late lamented Humpty- Dumpty when the Southern Califor- mia Rifles and the Los Angeles Ri f1e and Revolver club met Sunday in their concluding match of the Pacific Coast Rifle league series The two clubs are old rivals. albeit friendly ones and something in the weather seemed to make both az gregations outshoot themselves. The final score was Los Angeles, S1s; Southern California, S06.
 Both clubs beat any previous rec ord on their part to small smither- eens. while Los Angeles landed the record score for the Pacific Coast Rifle League for both this year and last with the total of S19. The highest score on record up to this time had been that Of Tacoma made in the last shoot against Bisbee, with a total. s14.
 F. c. Crossman of the Los Ange- les club put up what IS probably record score with 49 at 200, 40 at BOO and 50 at 800 yards, total of lfS out of a possible 150. The score was too high to pass without abso- lute proof, so the markers and the scorers. together with witnesses, were sworn before a notary public and the score will be claimed for a record one. as made in competition, without previous practice on the day of the shoot and with a straight mil itary rifle as issued
 One of the notworthy features of the shoot is the 30O-yard possible put up by Sam Crawford. Crawford is 65 years old and, while he has been a strong performer at the 300 yard range. yet the score of Sunday is one rarely equaled by the Pacific Coast riffenen
 Smith of the Southern California Rifles put in appearance at the Glendale range of the rife club and bored out fair scores with 25-S6 Marlin sporting gun"

MUCH INTEREST IN GAME SUNDAY; OkE
 ALL QUEENS WANT
f Queens Win From the Colts Three Teams Will Be
 Tied
NO DOPE IS AUTHENTIC

The league leaders, the Colts, will be in action again Sunday, taking on the Queens. Although the leaders have a league standing of 1000 per cent and the Queens only 800. the mat ter nay be looked at in another way. The Colts have won two games and the Queens have won one. While the Colts have undoubtedly shown more class than their competitors so far in the season, it is entirely too early to say that the Colts will cop the rag or that the players on the Colts team will walk away with the swag offered for individual records by merchants of the city.
 Nothing Yet Certain
 Those wto have their dope sheets already made up will likely have oc- casion as the season progresses 10 make many corrections, erasures and interlineations. 4 new factor is in iected in the situation by the rehabili- tation of the Calumet and Arizona baseball team. The work of this team will be guided by experienced heads in the future and a steady climb from the cellar position now occupied by the team would not be surprising.
 Big Change Possible
 As showing what change the re- suit of a single game might do at this stage of the season schedule. if the Colts are defeated Sunday by the Queens, the Colts would be tied " both the Bankers and Queens with a standing Of .es6.

LONDON. June 22.-Lord DaTnley, better known for many years as Hon. Two Bligh, a name famous in the an nals of cricket. made an interesting proposal at the Rochester Diocesan conference.

 He felt sure that the old English Sunday devoted to religious exercises and books, such as he recollected in his younger days. would never return. and he suggested by way of comp-o- mise. that there should be different divisions of time on Sundays without any sacrifice of principle.
