Sheehan Is Best Individual
Bowler, with 101.37.

The six teams of Carroll Council Duck
pin League have completed the first thir-
ty-three games OF their seventy-five-game
schedule, and although the Ninas are
still leading. the race for the pennant
will be very close. Sheehan has bowled
in every game scheduled for his team.
and leads the league with an average OF
lel-d. The Columbia team is fighting
hard for first place. and at the same
time three of its members-Callahan. Nc
Donough, and Smith-are leading for
prizes offered for various individual
records
Beuehert and sheehan are the only
members OF the league that have rolled
the fun number Of games. McDonough
was robbed of this honor by being COM
PEELED to drop out 10 give way for a
substitute after bowling a game of 81.
The rule reads that when two extra men
appear TO bowl the two low men OF the
first string drop out McDonOugh hap
peRed TO be the second low man.
The Carroll Council League has fve
members from Lowell, Mass. During the
holidays a team consisting OF Daddy,
Meehan. Mccarthy, Donovan. and Slat-
terry bowled under the name Of Carroll
Council against the AIl-Stars OF the c.
Y. NJ. l. League, Of Lowell. Each team
won three games and no extra set could
be arranged All games were rolled at
the Bowlaway at Lowell. and were at
tended by large crowds. The Bowlaway
has nine alleys downstairs and ten up
stairs, with a seating capacity In the

say that Carroll Council was well ad-

Will Be Accommodated.

New York, Jan. 6-More than S950o,ooC
is being spent on new baseball plants for
the fans Of Greater New York. New
stadiums are either under way or under
contemplation for the Giants, the
Yankees. and the Brooklyn Superbas.
These and their cost are:
Giants stadium, $1.0OO,OOO
Yankees new park. $4,000.
Brooklyn's new park, $4,000.
Within n year the three fields In
Greater New York will be able TO seat
10000 fans in one afternoon. The Polo
grounds will seat 5000; the Yankees
new park will seat 5000. and the great
stadium to be erected in Brooklyn will
accommodate $1,000
Should the United States League get
into operation in 1919, and invade New
York. two more big stadiums will be
erected, one in New York proper and the
other in Brooklyn. However, the paths
of new baseball leagues are filed with
trials and tribulations.

GETS HOME RUN ON
BALL HIT TWO FEET
Leather Sinks in Mud, Bat
ter Makes Circuit.

Baseball is filled with freak plays. ones
that sometimes bring about seemingly
impossible feats, says an exchange. One
Of the freakIest on record happened in
Minneapolis some seasons ago.
The Minneapolis club had as its short
stop Andy Oyler. who was a corking
good infieIder. but wasn't much on the
heavy hitting. He was one OF the small
est men in baseball, and, to make II
worse, when he stood UP to the plate, he
crouched all in a knot. II was horrible
on the pitchers TO have to throw to
oyler.
One day Minneapolis was playing St
Paul. II had rained the day before the
game. and the ground was sopping wet
The base runners fioundered like chickens
with their feet tied Minneapolis needed
one run to win the game when little
Oyler came to bat.
Andy crouched down in his peculiar
way. and the pitcher wound up The
twirler let a hot one go straight for
.Oyler's head. Andy ducked down, bending
his knee and leaning his bat over his
shoulder. The ball hit the bat a crack
and every one At the park heard II.
Where the ball went no one knew. It
hadn't gone up in the air, for the St
Paul catcher was gazing around the
sky and wishing for q telescope The
first baseman was looking under the bag
to see IL the ball had got stuck there,
and the pitcher was shouting unintelli-
gible things at everybody. and the third
baseman was accusing the umpire Of
standing on the ball Every one on the
st. Paul team was crazy mad.
What was OyIer doing? He was going
like a streak OF lightning around the
bases. Some one in the bleachers yelled:
He's got Il in his pocket
When the second baseman on the st.
Paul team heard that he started after
Oyler. who had just rounded second on
the dead run. Andy had the start. though,
and he left the second baseman far in
the rear. Oyler rounded third at top
speed and pulled up at the home plate.
scoring the winning run.
What are you trying to DOR screamed
the catcher. Gimme that balI!''
Il haven't got the ball. There II Is
right In front Of the plate. 1 got a home
run on a ball that didn't 90 two feet"
Sure enough. there was the ball stick
ing IN the deep mud in front of the plate
II had gone OF Oyler's bat so quickly that
no one had seen II land but Oyler. The
umpire, OF course. had to allow the
homer, for the ball had hit on fair
ground.
