Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-06-16

CldDDy would De most QeSlraple just
now. Mike has been picking so many
soft ones over in Gotham that the
fans would like to see him extended.
And just taking his fight with Young
Ahearn the other night as an exam
pie. 1t wouldn't require such-a- much
of a man to beat Mr. Mike just now.
He seems to have lost much of his
snap, lot of his punch and appears
to be red ripe for a good licking by
a man who will forget who Gibbons
is and go in and fight him fast for
a few rounds. OF course, Mike will
hand out few black eyes and a
bloody nose perhaps, but he can't
stand much roughing, and that's the
way to get him. A golden opportu-
nifty is in store for some one. It's
all up to who will discover Mikes
weakness first.

JPN:
Man on first base attempts to steal
second. Pitcher throws to the catch
er, who steps up to the plate and
throws to second to get runner. OPP
posing manager claims a balk and
says batsman should take his base.
Is that right? E. P.
If the catcher interferes with the
batsman, on a legal delivery, the
man on the bases is entitled to adj
vance one base, but the batter cannot
go to first base The umpire should
call it ball. In case the pitcher was
not in his box, the catcher has right
to take the throw any place, whether
it be in front of the plate or not.
