Mohammed said the ruler, meaning
the ruling power, who appointed a

in the kingdom better qualified for

DID NOT LOSE MUCH.
Moran, of Phillies, Claims He Did
Not Want Snodgrass.

The signing of Fred Snodgrass by the
Boston Braves led to the impression that
the Phillies had been a bit too slow in
going after the former Giant. In a state
ment issued last night Pat Moran says
that the club did not overlook great
ball player in falling to sign Snodgrass
and that the former Giants record Is not
equal to any of the players on the Phils.
Moran's statement follows:
THE Philadelphia club does not feel
that it has missed any important oppor-
tunity in falling to secure the services Of
Player Snodgrass. 1t was only with the
idea Of having him in case anything
happened to our regular players that he
might come in and take their places.
Snodgrass' record this season Is not
equal to any of the players on the Phila-
delphia club The team as constituted
today started the season. and its work,
while at times 1t has been little ragged.
has been right on the top ever since the
season opened. and IL the pennant Is to
be won we want those players who have
been loyal-and by that mean every one
on the club today-to get the credit for 1t.
The management will not miss any good
opportunity to strengthen the club in or
der to help accomplish this"

HREE-CORNERED ASSIST.
Pitcher Given Credit for Play When
Ball Strikes Head.

New York, Aug. 3o.-Claude Berry.
catcher Of the Pittsburgh Feds, tells
this one:
.'One day while 1 was catching for
the Dallas, Tex, team a runner on hrst
started to steal second. l pegged to-
ward the base but our pitcher. Walker,
had moved out of the box after he de-
livered the ball. and walked right into
the throw.
The ball hit Walker on top Of the
head. and as Walker dropped to the
ground the ball bounded high in the
air. The runner had reached second
by that time. and not seeing the bail
in play raced for third. But our short
stop saw the ball. caught it as it came
down and whipped it to third in time
to put out the runner.
The official scorer credited three men
with an assist. He gave me an assist
because 1 had made the original throw.
he gave one to the pitcher because hts
head had DETECTED the ball to the short
stop, and, of course. he gave one to the
shortstop for making the throw to third.
