IN the seventh inning of a game play Il ed by the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals in St. Louis re- gently an unusual incident occurred which has given rise to an argument as to whether a batsman is entitled to a double chance at the bat in the same time at the plate.
 Pitcher Tesreau rolled a grounder to Smith. and in his effort to make a fast play the fielder unfortunately threw so accurately that he hit owens, the field umpire. in the head and knocked him unconscious. Hartley who was on third at the time, was sent back to the bases and Tesreau was ordered to bat again
 Section of rule 66 reads: The base runner sEau return to his base with out liability 10 be out if the person or clothing of the umpire interfere with the catcher in an attempt to throw or the umpire be struck by a ball thrown

Germany May Spring a
 Surprise In the OIympiCS

Rau belongs to the Berliner Sports club He is considered the best Ger man runner at 75, 100 and 220 meter distances.
 The doughty German showed he was to be classed with champions in the sprint line and hurdles by scoring the most points in the international meet ing held at Stockholm early last Sep tember. He captured tirsts in three eVents-the 100 meters. 200 meters and 11O meters high hurdles.
 His time for the first event was 10 3-5 seconds aided by a strong wind For the hurdles he did Is 9-10 seconds and running with the wind was clocked in 22 3-10 seconds for the 200 meters.
 These are only q few choice wins Rau has to his credit.
 Then there is Braun, nicknamed Smiling Hans," who also holds a vic tory over an American. none other than Harry Gissing. Braun trimmed the former American half mile cham pion in the English champs in the SS0 yards run. Gissing declared upon his arrival home last summer that he con sidered Braun the equal of the best crack middle distance runners in our set. The German did 49 seconds but had he been pushed a little harder he would have fared better. As it was. he clearly showed he was to be con sidered among the best in future com petition.
 For the 300 meters he has done 4 minutes 14 3-5 seconds two or three times. He is a member of the Munch- ener Sports club.
 Pasemann is the German and English title holder in the jumps and pole vault Next to Braun, Pasemann performed second best in the English champion ships. He won first places in the run ming high jump, with a jump of feet and the pole vault with F feet. He is a consistent feet inch man for the high jump.
 Germany has never scored a first in any event of the four Olympiads we have had to date.

NHE contention that America
 will clean up in most approved
 style and score even more
 A points than at the four pre- vious Olympiads is considered by those who have studied records from abroad somewhat unttmely. Though they may win for the firth time, il doesn't follow that Uncle Sams boys will wipe up the sod with their foreign brethren as easily as they did before.
 The Swedes, for instance figure on capturing the championship trophy, while the Germans. too. are brimful of confidence. Ernie Hjertberg. who has been preparing the Swedish material for the last year or so, says America must be on it's mettle.
 But what we want to bring out forci- bly, is the fact that Kaiser Wilhelm S subjects are dangerous cOntendeTs for the leadership of athletics in the world. Germany's foremost stars who are de- pended upon to score many points. in clude Ralph Pasemann who won the Harvey cup for scoring the greatest number of points in the English cham pionships: Hans Braun one of the best middle distance runners to be found anywhere. and Herman Rau, one of the most consistent winners of sprints from 75 to 220 yards.
 You cant help but admire Germany's nerve when her newspapers chronicle what these star athletes will do to our best in several of the most important events on the Olympic program.
 Pasemann is an all around athlete of ability. He is a high Jumper of note and can pole vault several inches over twelve feet. He is also q good broad Jumper and has been credited with over twenty feet a number of times.
 Pau defeated Tex" Ramsdell in the 200 meter sprint at the English cham pionships. Braun and Rau have never been put to a real test, so that we can not say much about them except to elaborate on their records and from what has come to us secondhand from the other side

HERD TO HIT LOW SETTER

TTHE spitbaI is and is not a difficult

 Baseball fans who have seen Ed Walsh Russell Ford, Marty O'TOole and others twirl may regard this as an absurd assertion. Possibly they would not, knowing that it came from one of the cIeverest and wisest infelders in the game-Johnny Evers. Knowing that Walsh. Ford and O'Toole are ef- fective with the spitball fans may think Evers errs in making this decla- ration. but the way the clever Cub sec ond saCker explains it it can easily be conceived how the moist ball is and is not hard bail to hit

MINOR LEAGUE AVERAGES

MINOR league baseball averages ar " ceasing to be held in high regar. by the owners of the major leagE clubs. A player may have big hit ting average in the minors and fal down as soon as he reaches the majors The difference in the pitching and tn fielding has much to do with this.
 There are play CTS in the minors wh, have fat averages for long hits. oftai due to the short fences, over which n balls travel safely which would be eas outs in the majors. Then. again, 1t i quite often the case that a player ha. his average padded by friendly score keepers. An these have set the mai,s league managers to thinking. and the. are instructing their scouts to pay lit tie attention to the averages.

 There is nothing in this rule which says the batter shall have a second time at bat, nor would the intent of the game seem to imply that he should have second time as a privilege, for it amounts to that, or incur a second time as a penalty, for there is no req sonable right to penaliZe a batter for what is technically the fault of the fielder

1 INDICATIONS are that the New York
 Giants will have an even easier task of winning the National league pennant this year than last. McGraw has his team working in wonderful form. and it does not seem possible for any of it's rivals to stop it's rush to- ward the championship.
 Base running is again the feature of the Giants play. and critics insist that the team is more proficient in this re- spect this year than it was last, when it easily led all the other teams in the league in this regard Then, too, Mar quard appears to be an even better pitcher now than ne was in the last campaign, and he seems to do better work every time he appears. Mathew son is rounding into form again, so that it can be figured that this pair of twiriers will take part in but few de- feats this year

 TACK JOHNSON is not going to make the mistake that ruined Jef- fries-that of emitting boxing practice. The champion has already started hard road work and is sparring seV- eraI hours every day After a two year layoff he will need it too. If Vol gast can miss badly after only six months rest. four times that period ought to make even Johnson rusty in his foOtwOrk. timing and distance.
 Johnson. superficially at least. is in better shape than he was when he started training for Jim Jcffries. The champion began work for the Jeffries show about the middle of May He weighed 240 pounds then and is now ten pounds under that mark. Unless Father Time and John BarleycOrn have two timed his stomach there is really no reason why he should not be in better shape for Flynn than he was for Jeffries.
 There is just one thing to be consid- cred as legitimately in favor of Flynn and as giving him an excuse for hop ing he will do better against Johnson than when he suffered that virtual knockout at the hands of the big lad in November, 1907 That is the undOubted fact that Flynn will undergo better and longer. training and conditioning than he ever had before in his life. He will have all sorts of sparring help and the best of artists handling him. He has d right to hope that he will do better than on his first appearance against Johnson.
 That's the theory, but those who saw that fight insist that Johnson was un- der wraps all the route and only turn ed loose his splendid battery when Hymns biting remarks stung him into ending the battle in hurry.
 Johnson may be right when he says that Flynn ought to bring his entire training camp into the ring with him July A.

 If you analyze Walshs record in the last few years you will find him the equal Of any twirier Year in and year out he has pitched good ball. He neV- CT has an easy game during the sea son, but his opponents always save their best pitcher to oppose him.
 During a season Walsh will compete wich pitchers like Bender, CoOmbs Johnson. Ford, Cicotte, Donovan, Pelty and Gregg. He will never get any weddings.

IT ANK O'DAY is being given credit
 for displaying much ability as manager. though of course it stands to reason that he has the ball team with which to make a showing, but there is nothing surprising in the fact that he gives evidence of knowing the game.
 After having been a player for many years, he has been identified with the National league in the capac- ity of umpire, which gave him an op- portunity to observe much and learn more. For years O'Day has been able to study all the systems employed by the various managers, and, being man of intelligence, he has been able to adopt what ne considered best of all he saw But, for all that he was for tunate to drop into a team which had been built up for years and which was virtU. lily completed when Griffith turn eG it over.
