Sporting Editor Star:
What penalty, if any, should be imposed
on the pitcher for baking with the bases
unoccupied? IMP.
Depends on the kind of balk Some OF
them count as called balls, others do not
count at all with the bases empty. See
rule 81.
Sporting Editor Star:
There was a man on second and the
batter makes clean single. The man
on second starts home. and as he turns
third the coacher thinks he may be
caught and grabs him and. sends him
back to third base. Is the runner out
for interference Of the coacher?
READER.
Major league umpires usually penalize
the play by sending the coacher to the
bench for not remaining in his box.
Sporting Editor Star:
Would like to know if there is a rule
that on the third strike, if the pitcher
throws wild ball zone that cannot pos
sibly be fielded), the batsman is out IL
he strikes a. it? Would ii make any
difference whether first was occupied or
not? e J. WILSON.
With first base occupied and less than
two out. the batsman who misses third
strike is out, anyway, whether or not
the ball is caught.

turned to negotiate with Pennsylvania
they made renewed appeal to have
Pennsylvania change her ultin4atum
about the date of the game. This con-
cession was finally made and if it is
shown after this years experience that
moving the game ahead one week does
not interfere with the TRANSFORMATIONS
nell contest this may become a regular
date for the two academies.
The argument has been advanced that
by playing the game November %. when
it will conflict with the Harvard-Yaie
game, the demand made upon the author
tiles of the two academies for extra seats
will be considerably reduced because
heretofore the guests of the Army. Navy
and Pennsylvania, between whom the
seats are equally divided, have included
many persons who always take in the
Yale-Harvard contest. 1t is not unlikely
therefore that the new date will go a
long way toward relieving the pressure
for seats, which has been the only rea-
son for thinking of taking the game else
where.
There will, no doubt, be general regret
among foot ball enthusiasts everywhere
that the Army-Navy game will no longer
be the climax to the gridiron season. In
previous years it has put the finishing
touch to the season in a manner that de-
lighted thousands of persons and gained
for it nationwide publicity. Some of
these features it will still retain. but now
the Cornell-Pennsylvania game will mark
the close of the season.

The average business man looks upon the theatrical

The business manager of first class theater has

that all safety appliances exits cleaning heat and

The audience IS his He has nothing to do with
the actors, except in he may act as pay
