once asked the same question of the
great Mordecai Brown. He averred
that the point was covered in the
rule book. | handed him the book
and asked him to kindly show me
where il was. He looked and looked,
but never found it, and had to give
up the case except to remark that
he knew well enough it was a balll
all right, and so it is everywhere con-
strued
BY the way. it is worth noting that
balk does not entitle the batter ever
TO his base, but only such runners as
are already on base. With no runner
on a pitcher may make all the balks
he likes and nothing will happen.
1t is perfectly possible, though, for a
pitcher to have a very puzzling way
of throwing either to home or to a
base without one being able to tell for
certain Just where he is going TO
throw, and that without committing a
balk. This is easier for left handed
men than for right-handers; but ]

the waist, after starting a seeming de-
livery to the plate. that they were able

foot around SO as to thrust 1t straight

this is true, "all right, all right" it
has always puzzled me immensely
why they don't go on and include here
another way of violating good pitch
ing manners that umpires will every
where be shocked over but which is
not stated in the rule book anywhere
1t is this: If you get in the pitchers
box without the bali in your possess

7 ONCE asked the lamented Harry
Pulliam, then president of the
National League, how he could con-
strue this a balk when there was
nothing specific in the rule book
about it, and he replied that he sim
ply construed such an act as PRIMA
FACIE evidence Of an intention to
commit a balk. l regret to have to
say that in my opinion this is no
answer at all, for the simple reason
that no pitcher ever has an INTEN-
TON of committing a balk.

has had to so retard the final move

himself time to step out toward first

Today you learn Of failure that was a
great success. To come within 200 feet
of the summit of Mount Mckinley and
then to be turned back by gale was UNI
doubtedly disappointing to the conquerors
of this great peak, but the mountain msy
now be considered as subdued. The two
men who dared all dangers to accomplish
this were Prof. Herschel c. Parker and
Belmore Browne.
Mount Mckinley is the highest peak In
North America. The United States gov
eminent has measured this mountain by
triangulation and found it to be 20,30o
feet high. In their ascent Parker and
Browne estimated its height to be 2o,450
feet. Mount Mckinley, rising on the west
abruptly out of a marshy country, offers
obstacles of magnificent, inaccessible
granite to the mountaineer.
Mount Mckinley is also the highest
peak in the world above the line OF per-
petual snow. Almost every high noun
tain rises from a high base. Mount Nc
Kinley, however, rises from a base OF
only 1000 or 5000 feet. Thus, 5000 feet
of snow and ice has to be climbed over
to reach the summit.
In 1906 and 1910 Parker and Browne
made attempts to find routes up the side
of this great mountain. The highest al
titude reached was 10000 feet. Last year
they made their try. this time from the
northeastern side of the peak.
On April %, 1912, the bast Of Mount Nc
Kinley was reached by the Parker Browne
party. After a short journey Of explora-
ton, finally on June S the ascent was be-
gun A heavy snowstorm held the party
up several days. but on June Is an alti-
tude Of 11,0Oo feet was reached. A fierce
storm held them there for two days, but

which is ten and a half inches high. is
designed to be mounted on the store
