HARRY LORD GIVES
BOSTON FAN PUNCHING
FOR MEAN REMARKS
White Sox Third Baseman
Nursed Injured Hand
as a Result.

One Boston bug" at least, knows
that Harry Lord has been visiting
Boston. After one of the Chicago
games, as Lord was walking to the
carriage that was waiting to convey
him to the hotel, this fan informed
Harry that he was playing on a bum
team and that he was no good. Harry
merely said: rs that so?" and landed
a punch on the critics jaw that
knocked him out cold. Harry carried a
damaged hand to show for his trouble
and the bug took home a badly
swollen CHR Mr.. Lord, sr., WAS q
witness of the brief encounter.
Rollie Zeider, of the White SoA,
wants to try an experiment. He Is
| anxious to know what an umpire would
do If a batsman hit n over the fence
and then refused to u around the,
bases. When Rollie clouts one out OF
the park, If he ever does. he Is going
to walk straight to the bench and
wait for developments. That Ia his in
tention now, at any rate. But the
chances are that he will be surprised
into making the circuit If he ever
Furnishes the ball so severely.

cent quarrel Most ballplayers have
one hit-and-run sign for the man pre-
ceding them in the batting order. Cobb
has. our or Ave. Bush got mixed, UP
on them two or three times, at least
Cobb said he did, and Crawford took
the shortstop's part, telling Ty that
his system was too complicated. The
hard feeling that existed between the
two star outielders doesn't appear to
have hurt the Tigers a bit. Cobb is
the same Georgia peach and Crawford
is showing more speed than at any time
in recent years.

lin decided that Jackson couldn't do
