MIKE QUITS STAGE.

NEW YORK. Sept %. Mike
Donlin, the former captain and out
fielder of the Giants. who is covering
center field now for the Boston Ma
1ionals, and is playing in good form,
has decided to stick to baseball and
quit the stage. Mike has come to
the conclusion that he cannot expect
to be good ball player if he fol-
lows theatricals, and on that account
has made up his mind to give his
entire attention to the national game.
A reporter asked Donlin today if he
intended to 60 on the stage again
at the finish of the baseball season,
and he said:
Il am through with the footlights
forever. am going to stick to
baseball in the future, and just
take a little tip from me that next
season will be the best that | have
ever had during my career. l am go,
ing to get into the finest shape, and

claiming that l am all in that they

COMMY LIKES TO SEE
HIS PITCHERS WORK

CHICAGO, Oct. Is. - Charley
Comiskey is greatly peeved when
one of his pitchers fails to cover
first base on grounder to the
first baseman. Commy is a bug on
the fielding of pitchers.
He claims that the twirler ought
to be a fifth man in the infield at all
times Several times he has imposed
heavy fines on pitchers who failed to
get the jump over to first in time to
beat out a batter.
When Ed Walsh Joined the White
Sox he did not consider it any part
of his duty to run over to the base
at full speed when a grounder was
knocked to the first sacker He
was warned couple of times and
then soaked a fine of $25 one day

GREATEST PLAY | EVER SAW !:
BY Lou Ritchie


The greatest play ev saw. of
course emitting the great ones |
have made myself. was made in an
exhibition game at Augusta, Ga The
game was an exhibition between the
Boston club and the Augusta team,
with Ty Cobb of the Tigers playing
with Augusta, and it was Cobb who
made most of the play.
You know Augusta is Cobb's home
and the people down there are
wild over him. never had seen
him work before and rather had
doubts as to whether he was as
good as they said He came to the
gr, undS late and ran out to center
field just as the game started, with
ont a chance to warm up or throw
ball. The second ball hit was a
fly to him and he got it in deep
center and threw the runner coming
from third out at the plate. That
started me to believing the stories
I'd heard about him. but it wasn't
until the ninth inning that he made
the play. His team was leading US
by one run when We came in to hit
for the last time, and we got men
on second and third bases with one
man out. Augusta had a fast clever
ntfia1Jor rrlac no
bly, will be heard of in fast company
some day. and he was in left field
with Cobb in center, when Bates
smashed a hard line fly down the
groove between center and left. The
ball was hit SO fast that it didn't
seem possible for either Cobb or
Coles to reach it. Cobb went sprint
ing across at top speed, going as
fast as | ever saw man run. IL
looked as if the ball would get
past him, go to the fence and end
the game. He saw it passing and
just threw his body through the
air, stuck out one hand, hit the ball
and batted it up into the air. He
didn't seem possible he could keep
his feet, but as he plunged along
he made another grab for the ball.
hit it with his hand and batted it
into the air again, and Coles, coming
from the other direction, chased the
ball and caught it just as Cobb
plunged along the grass.
The play wasn't over even then,
Coles was going so rapidly that when
he caught the ball his back was di-
dectly toward the diamond He could
not turn and throw without losing
too muhc time, SO as he went on
he jerked the ball backward to Cobb,
who was just getting to his hands
and knees. and Cobb, jumping up,
caught the ball and fired to third
base just in time to cut down the
runner who was trying to advance
and end the game.
Now in writing this story | wish to
give myself full credit for my part
in the play My part consisted Of
watching it. and | did the greatest
job of watching ever did in my
life When it was over | had to
screw my eyes back into my face,
| they stuck out so far.

FOOTBALL RULES SiMPtIFIED.
NEW YORK. Sept. 81. - The COM
ing football season promises to be
the most successful one in the his.
tory of the game. The new rules
reduced the number of accidents to
minimum last year, and the rules
as now modified promise TO practical
ly eliminate all danger of players
being hurt
There have been no radical change
made in the rules from those of last
year A simplified wording OF the
old rules is about all that has been
done.
1t was the forward pass that came
in for the most attention from the
rule makers, and there is much spec.
ulation as to whether in its new
dressing it will be a success
According to the new ruling
forward pass is illegal when the play.

When forward pass is declared
illegal it will be returned to the
place where il was originally put In
10 play. The same goes on an uncom.
pleted forward pass, which is one
that hits the ground before being
touched by any player on either side
This year when player catches
a forward pass the players on the de-
fensive can tackle him as soon as
he catches the ball Under the
rules last year he had to wait till
the man took at least two steps.
There was much confusion and argu.
ment as to whether or not the rush.
er had taken two steps when the
tackle was made.

code is that which lessons the time
