Ing prior TO his coming TO the
Browns, his performances are truly
remarkable.
And yet Hickey says this young
man may be expected TO do even
greater things. And leave II to
Georgia to do them.
BY practically every baseball
critic who has seen him play, sisler
has been called the greatest young
player who has come into the big
tent since Ty Cobb's admission 10
years ago.

tween the Browns and the Tigers,

The score was tied and a Brownie
was on second base. Sisler hit q

land on n line. The ball carried so
rapidly and with 40 much force that

ly to the right fielder that only BY
q great slide was Sisler able to
turn this otherwise easy triple into
a two-base hit.
He later reached third. and on
the first pitch, deliberately ran
down the base line half way to the
plate. On the second pitch. he
went through with what he had
threatened TO do the first time---he
made clean steal OF homo.
II is this daring on the sacks
that has made Cobb the wonder

In Sisler.
Il want you to be nervy on the
base lines Hickey also told Sisler.
1T doesn't make much difference
whether you are successful In your
attempts this year. II will be good

you can take with different pitchers

THIS SITUATION HAS
THE BOYS GUESSING

Base runners cannot score on the
third out. no matter II they cross
the plate before the out Is made.
providing IL is a force out such as o
play at first or a force play with
men on the paths.
But here's a situation that might
come up which this rule may or may
not cover. Suppose the bases were
full and two were out The batter
grounds TO shortstop. The runners
ell have big leads, and two cross
the plate while the man on hrst
rounds second Just as the shortstop
clutches the ball. II he throws 10
frst 10 get his man. no runs count.
Supposing the shortstop tags the
man that has come from first to sec
ond and Is bound for third. There
are three out. but would the two
runs count,
The play was suggested by sit
ua,ion Of that sort at 81. Louis this
week. and a number OF authorities
were consulted. The majority de-
clared that the runs would not be
runs. but Umpire Bill KLEIN said
they would, and gave his reasons.
Since the runner who had started
from first had passed second. he
would not be forced. because he
could have stopped al second II he
had so desired and held that bag
safely. regardless Of the player who
hit the ball. But a lot OF smart
baseball men couldn't see II that
way.
