president makes a decision. In the
case in point, Mr.. Lynch was sur
prisingly alert. He has other pro-
tests that have not been acted upon,
and won't be, until the annual league
meeting. The umpire's, not the
presidents, decision governs the Star
pool and should govern all pools.

A says that Myers got home run
this season. B says that the only
Newark PLAYERS to get home runs
this season were Eddie Zimmerman,
w. Zimmerman and Swacina. Who
is right. A FAN.
Myers got a home run against
Rochester, at Rochester, on May 10.
Lew McCarty also had home run
at Rochester, SO B has erred very
much in his contention.

How much is a penny worth, dated
1858. with an eagle on it's face? Also
please decide the following: With
runners on first and second bases,
batter pops UP a fly to the pltcner.
A says it is an infield fly, and batter
is out even if pitcher muffs the ball.
B saws pitcher must CATCH the ball to
retire the batter. Can the base run
ners advance on an infield fly?
R. S. T.
Your penny is worth ten mills. The
infield fly rule is in effect only when
there are less than two out. It's OBJ
ject is to prevent a double play
Therefore, the batter was out If there
were less than two out when he hit
the ball Otherwise the pitcher had
to catch the ball to retire the bats
man. Runners cannot advance on an
inffeld fly.
Which is the greater, twenty square
miles or twenty miles square?
E. w. M.
A lot twenty miles square would
contain four hundred square miles,
while lot containing twenty square
miles contains twenty square miles.
In other words, pigs is pigs

We made up a pool Friday on In
ternational League games. Three
we did not know that two games
would be played at Toronto between
Baltimore and Toronto. Therefore,
there were seven numbers. Baltimore
and Toronto played a double-header
A claims that he is entitled to all
the runs his team Baltimore) made
in the two games. B says he is en-
titled to only the runs they got in the
first game Who is right? S.
1t was agreed upon, as I understand
it, that each man should have one
team in one game, otherwise you
would not have split the double-head-
ers, would you? A is entitled to only
one game, and as the first game
played is counted the legal game he
should get only the runs credited to
his team in that contest.
