FRANK HAS FIND IN
PALMER SNEDECOR

It was Charlie Franks astuteness ard
his knowledge of the inner workings Of
baseball legislation that enabled the lead
er of the Peiicans to secure Palmer sned-
ecor, the promising young first sackor
now covering the initial sack for the New
Orleans club, says the Memphis CONNER
cial-Appeal.
Last year Mike Finn picked UP the
young player from the University of Ma
bama, but did not use him and turned him
over TO the Greenwood club of the Cotton
States league. When the Cotton States
season was over Snedecor joined the Mo-
bile team. Snedecor had finished the sea-
son with Greenwood and had not been
sent to the club under the optional agree
ment whereby he was TO be recalled BY
August 20
When Frank fourd out these facts he
put in a draft for the first baseman, and
after several arguments il was finally de-
cided that Frank had acted entirely with
in his rights and Snedecor became the
property of the New orleans club.
Snedecor is a son of a minister and is
a great favorte with his teammates. He
has steadily gained confidence in him
SELF since the opening of the season and
has made steady Improvement in all de-
partments of the game. Frank is one Of
the hest posted managers in the South
ern league on the legality of claims
drafts and purchases, and II is seldom
indeed that any associate leaders ever
succeed in putting anything over on the
willy German.

Largest Stone Ever Quarried

From the Technical World Magazine.
One of the most interesting proofs Of
the wonderful civilization of the an
clients is afforded by the great slab of
stone at Syria. This huge monolith is
60 feet long, IA feet broad and II feet
In depth. 1t is said to be the largest
Piece of stone ever quarried, and its
estimated weight is 1900 tons. 1t is
thought by archaeologists that this
builders to adorn the Temple of the Sun
how in ruins--near by. Here, in one
OF the walls which still stands, are to
be seen huge slabs of stone, which
careful measurement show to be 63
feet long and 3 feet high More re-
rnarkable still, they are placed In posi-
tion 10 feet above the ground level
Moreover, although no sign of any
cementing mixture is to be found in
these ancient buildings, the stones have
been squared and polished so evenly
that only after the most minute search
can the joints be found, and when
placed it is impossible to thrust the
blade of pocket knife between them
How these things were done is a stand
Ing mystery to the scientist.
If necessity is the mother of inven-
ton, the needs of the ancients must
have been very pronounced indeed when
they devised ways and means to so
perfectly fit together these huge stones
Religion, a tremendously compelling
force in the lives of the men of an
tiquity, perhaps is the best solution of
the source OF the inspiration that in
spired them.

Barons Meet Lookouts Again Today /
From the Angle Of the Bug

little bonehead play" is needed 10
make the situation possible. Now,
according to the answer published
in The Age Herald as the correct
one. no bonehead work is needed
1t is merely a peculiar. but thor
oughly probable combination of
circumstances
The first batter up hits for three
bases. He is out in attempting to
stretch the same into home run.
An example of this appeared in
Birmingham Saturday. Iii E. Mar
cans failure to pull this stunt
cost the Barons a game in Nash
Vile. The next batter up follows
suit. Two hits, two outs and the
bases unoccupied. Then follows
three short singles, filling the
bases. Five hits. two outs and the
bases crowded. The next batter
hits bounder which touches a
out, but the batter must be cred
tied with a bingle Three outs. six
hits. no scores.
Mr.. Croy in arguing against this
situation stated last night that in
asmuch as three outs were made
before the last batter reached first
base he should not be credited with
a hit. And Just here Mr.. Croy's
argument is sadly lacking.
If interested fans viii take the
trouble to look up the ruling on
such situation they will find that
in rule Sc, section l., when base
runner is out, the ruling Is this:
when a fair hit ball strikes him
tthe baserunner) before touching a
fielder and, in such case, no base
shall be run unless neces-
STATED by the batsman becoming
a base runner, and no run shall
be scored or any other base rum
ner put out until the umpire puts
the ball back into play"
Rule 81. section 4. relative to
the scoring of base hits says In
all cases where a base runner is
retired by being hit by a batted
ball, unless batted by himself. the
batsman should be credited with a
base hit"
This surely should settle the dis
pute as to whether the batter in
contention should be credited with
a hit. This rule may not be in har-
mony with Mr.. Croy s views on the
matter, but as it is laid down in
plain black and white it is not
for the humble scorer to change
things otherwise.
The last batter must be given
credit for a hit, although the side
was retired before he reached first
base and the six hits without a
run are made, coming as a result
of a perfectly naturally combina-
tion of circumstances without the
assistance of any "bonehead" play
Must Mr.. Croy press the suits?
The two explanations are above
anaylzed. Which is the best? Let
the fans take their choice.

WORDSWORTH TALKS
A BIO U T STRENGTH
OF PRESENT TEAM

TFRANK o. cRoY of the Win
ston Tailoring company,
i who. according TO the opin-
ion of the sporting editor of The
Age Herald. has gotten himself
into trouble by offering to press
four suits of clothes free of charge
10 any individual who could sug-
pest a better answer to The Age
Herald's question as to how teapl
might make six successive hits
and yet fail to score a single run,
has registered strong protest re-
garding the best answers to the
question as published in The Age
Herald Saturday morning.
Mr. Croy visited The Age-Her-
aid last night and presented his
argument favoring his solution of
the problem, as the most suitable
answer to the question. He based
his argument favoring his answer
as the correct solution of the prob
lem on the ground that such Incl
dents as described by him could
possibly happen. This We admit, is
true His argument. attempting
To discountenance the answer as
set forth by The Age Herald
sporting editor is, however, very
weak.
Now,let's look at the answer as
given by Mr.. Croy. As it appeared
in The Age Herald Saturday morn
ing it is as follows:
Sporting Editor, Age-Herald:
Dear Sir-Answering your in
quiry regarding the possibility of
six successive hits being made of
which two are triples and yet not
a score made, can be answered as
follows:
Jones triples-one hit, one triple
Jones caught off third-one out.
Smith triples-two hits, two
triples.
Smith caught off third base-two
outs.
Brown singles-three hits.
White singles-four hits.
Black singles, Brown held on
third-five hits. bases full.
Green singles-six hits.
Brown out for falling to touch
home pIate-three out, six hits,
two triples.
Just a little bonehead work is all
that is needed to make this pos
sible

pressed free of charge to the man
who can give a better answer to

Herald.

In the American league, Washington

The fine work OF the Cleveland team

Chicago only split even last week and

Tyrus Cobb plays a large part in these,
