MANY FUNNY SITUATIONS
TURN UP IN BASE BALL
Umpire Evans Writes Of Peculiar Case
Where Everybody Sleeps on
the Play.

Mayes is one of the mysteries of the play.
Another mystery is what happened to
Mayes He must have been having an
awful pipe dream to have remained on
first during all this confusion. OF course,
if the fly was short one. then his po-
sition can be understood. Then it would
seem that Wheeler purposely ran to sec
ond to draw the throw. Yet there was
no necessity to make the throw. for if
the ball had not been caught Wheeler
would have been out Immediately on
passing Mayes. Fillman. of course, no
ticing the mistake, should have followed
the proverb Take nothing for granted in
base ball. and there would have been
no argument. 1t certainly was a crazy
incident from every angle. brought about
by no clever bit of thinking. but simply
by the failure Of everybody to have their
heads up.
Keeping heads up. by the way. will
solve most of the puZZling situations i'll
base ball. after all. OF course. there are
times when the rules are not clear.
admit that there have been plays that
have me guessing to this day. but back
of the rules lies primarily the intent to
give square deal in the game. Some
times a decision may not appear that
way. but when you analyZe its purpose
deep enough you will find the same Old
principle.
How about the tricks that are play
ed?" some one will ask. Well. later we
will take up some of the tricks that
shrewd managers ''get by with and see
if we can't prove, after all, that there
was no mean advantage in any of them.

Leading batters in the National League
were unable to reach as high averages
as those in the American. Cobb STOOD
out above all of them. and the top mem
bers of the base hit brigade in the
younger body had it on those of Lynch's
outfit.
But as sluggers the swatsmen of the
American League must take OH their
hats to the National. For some reason
or other the Johnsonian smiters were out
walloped. They broke about even on
three-b base hits. but when it came to
doubles they were far behind, while as
home-run smashers they were outclassed.
Individually they do not stand so badly
when it comes to extra base hits, but
teams they look pretty sick. Speaker and
Baker are behind Wilson in the total
number of added cushion wallops, but
they rank we'll up. But against total
base record of 6.111 for the National the
American sets j, 1872.
Wilson High Man.
Owen Wilson landed high in the Ma
tional League because he had the great
est number of three-basers made during
the season.
Heine Zimmerman of the Cubs, who
was second to Wilson with $50. had the
greatest number of two-Daggers in the
National League when he hammered out
forty-one. while he also led banging out
home runs with fourteen. Frank Schultz
Of the Cubs. who pushed out twenty
three the year before. hit only twelve
during the 1912 season. He was fourth
among the National Leaguers, with Es1
total bases.
While Wilson was the chief three-base
knocker, the American League carried OF
the record for doubles, when iris Speaker
Of the champion Red SoX hit ffty-three.
Jackson, with twenty-siX, was the lead
ing three-base hitter. and Baker, the
leading home-run hitter, with total of
ten.
Sox Led Doubles.
In hitting doubles the Red Sox landed
with the hefty total of 26S. The Cubs
and Phillies were high in the National
with 245, while the Giants came next
with 231. Cleveland was second in the
American League with 30
The Pirates landed right side up hitting
out triples. In the 1J2 games played by
Fred Clarke's charges 1919 of the bingles
went for three bases. which eclipsed the
total of the Cubs and Reds who were
second by 80 less. Philadelphia topped

liked about his new neighbor was the
fact that Veach hit at the right ball.
The chief fault he had to find was that

The well had been abandoned and
the machinery grown rusty, but
about two weeks ago the tenant heard
creaking, as of the walking beam
raising and lowering the rods. TAX
ing his lantern he fastened toward
the well, but when he reached it the
operations ceased. He found that the
boiler was warm but there was no
steam in the valves nor was there fire
or any evidence that there had been
fire recently.
The neighbors were informed of the
freak actions of the well, and after
being shown the oil in the tank they
were convinced and began watching
it night by night, but whenever they
approached the pumping ceased.
Such crowds began to gather to
watch the work of the "spooks" that
the tenant found his production re-
duced from five to two gallons a night
and he was forced to insist that visit
ors were not welcome.
No explanation for the mystery has
been found,

WATER MAIN DYNAMITED.
New Attempt to Shut OFF Kansas
City's Principal Supply.

Kansas City.-By an odd coinci-
dence two sections of the big water
main that supplies Kansas City were
dynamited for the second time in two
months on the land of widow who
had had trouble on account of right
of way.
The break will require three days
to repair, and meanwhile the city will
have to depend on a five inch pipe
for the water furnished ordinarily by
the big twenty-four inch main.
The other dynamiting occurred July
l9, near the point destroyed. A
short time before the explo-
sion took place two men were seen
running from the scene. The police
are unable to assign any reason for
the dynamiting.
