In a drizzling rain, ON d gridiron
besmeared with mud two inches deep
at Alumni field, Saturday afternoon.
Colby slid through Boston College to
the tune of eight touchdovns and
seven goals from the field, piling up
a secre of IS points. The game was
practically duplicate of the one
played with Fort Mckinley, last Sat
urday afternoon. which was won by
Colby, so 10 0. The game. owing to
the very muddy condition of the field,
was at times quite loosely played by
both teams. Colby however, exhibit
ing most of the fumbling and suffer
ing most from penalizing. Not once
during the entire game did the Bos-
ton team come within striking dis
lance of Colby's goal; only once did
the Boston eleven make first down.
Before the game was completed Colby
had nearly every man on the squad
in the scrimmage, and many men
were returned for the second time.

Courtenay sat up and stared duly about

lighted on the bottle left standing on the
table. Mechanically he reached for it. With
some difficulty he succeeded in getting the
neck of the bottle to his lips and raised 1t to
a level with his face by bracing his elbows on
the table With eyes half closed he per-
litted the liquor to trickle down his throat,
fitting the bottle more and more until at last
it slipped from his fingers and crashed to
pieces on the table. Then with deep drawn
sigh of satisfaction he pillowed his face in

pires, players and rule makers
themselves are more or less at sea
regarding its exact limitations and
demarcations, whatever they are.
If a pitcher has no motion" or
wind-up, he can hardly hope to sue
coed in big league time" The
movements of his delivery are sup
posed to keep the base runner
guessing, and at the same time
must still be within the limits i'm
posed on baking ."..
Unless a pitcher can violate the
spirit of the balk rules without
tnansgressing the common inter-
probation of their wording, he has
lot to learn. Let any team fig

its players can guess with any de-

Stdestepping all the DELICATE
points and shades of points on
which good authorities differ, there
is a great deal of prevalent mys-
terry regarding the balk which can
be dispelled. To begin with, there
are nine kinds of balks. Probably
you thought a balk was simply
bluff to pitch or to throw to base
without going through with It.
Sometimes a bluff to throw to a
base is a balk and sometimes it is

times to throw to a base is balk.
and sometimes ball pitched
squarely over the plate without
any pause in the motion is both a
balk and a ball for the batsman.
balk is not a balk unless there
Is a base runner, but some balks
are called balks il the bases are
empty. Here are the nine ways of
making a balk:
Nine Ways To Make Balk.
1. The pitcher starts to de-
liver the ball to the batsman or
to throw to first base when
there is a runner on first base.
and does not complete the pitch
or throw unhesitatingly.
,. If the pitcher throws the
ball to any base occupied by q
runner and does not step di-
rectly toward that base making
the throw.
3. If the pitcher delivers the
ball TO the batsman while either
foot is back of his slab.
4. If he bitches the ball with
out facing The h1tsman.
