that the last time these teams met
was when High made a trip to Silver
city about a month ago, and that the
girls barely managed to win, while
the boys were defeated in the only
game which they have lost this year.
This time the Silver City girls promise
that their rivals viii not retain its
record Of nothing but victories while
the El PasO girls declare they viii give
the Normal girls a Sound defeat for
the scare which Normal threw into
them in the last game.
The High boys team has improved

great T. NJ. c. A. team would have to

the "H' boys into real team;

individuals and the best team in the
history Of the school; although Tatum

most If not quite the equals Of any
forwards iu the city; although Kill

the best team at that position in the
southwest Yet High school will have
TO fight from first to last to score
victory. For while High school has
shown great Improvement since its
last game with silver City it must
be taken for granted that the Normal
team. too, has improved vastly. While
the eli" players gained a world Of
experience in the Commercial league
the Normal boys have been playing
against some mighty strong teams.

the game knew that Cotter had batted
out Of order and illegally driven the
winning run across the plate. He re-
NAMED in his position a few moments
awaiting an appeal from one of the

decided that he would stick to what
he believed was the strict interpreta-
ton Of the rules.
Ruled Umpire In Error.
A few minutes after the game was
over the mistake was brought to the
attention of the Pittsburg team and a
protest was at once filed. Mr. Lynch,
who at that time was the head of the
National league, ruled that the UNI
pire had erred in not taking action,
since he admitted he knew that Cotter
had batted out of order. The umpire,
OF course insisted that since no ap-
peal was made he was within his rights
in not taking any action. Mr.. Lynch
held that there was no chance for an
other batter to come up, since the IL
legal hit meant the game, and such
being the case. it became the duty of
the umpire to enforce the rule without
an appeal. There are a number Of au-

ruling. and there are a number who
do not. Those who do not contend

He Once Lost Pennant For Cleveland

By FRANK G. MENKE.

YEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The reen-
n try of Big Biz Hinchman into
4 the big leagues recalls the mem
orable bone" which he pulled back
in 1908-the bone" that cost the Maps
the pennant. Hinchman, who ,gradu-
ates this season from the American as
ISOLATION to the PittsbuTg Pirates, was
with the Maps in 1908 when they lost
the pennant by half a game On the last
day Of the season the Maps played two
games with the Browns. Had they won
both they would have won the pennant.
But they won only one, losing the other
because of Hinchman's mental lapse
With a runner on third in that game
which the Maps lost, Hinchman damned
a grOunder over second base. It looked
like a sure hit to him. Instead OF
sprinting to first at top speed, he sim
ply loafed. The runner already was
crossing the plate with the winning
run. So why hurry? That's the way
Hinchman figured
But Hinchman 1oafed without taking
Bobby Wallace into consideration. The

Of his career hurled himself at the ball
made a miraculous stop. and while
three feet off the ground heaved the
ball to first. 1t went straight and true
and it beat the numbering Hinchman
by a step.
Hinchman's out made the third out.
The side was retired and the run that
had crossed the plate didn't count. If it
had counted the Maps would have been

earned decisions over Luther Mccarthy
and Arthur Pelkey in 10 round bouts in
New York in 1912; that he knocked out
Sailor White in one round and Sol
dier" Kerns in eight rounds, both at
New York during the same year; that
he Knocked out One Round" Davis in
two rounds at Buffalo during the past
year. They further show that in 1914
he knocked out George ROdel "the
Fighting Boer,'' twice, the first time
at New Haven in nine rounds early in
the year and the second time at At
lauta in five rounds. This is only
very little OF the record made by the
giant cowboy during the four years he
has been in the game, and the news
paper decision registered against him
is the only one to his discredit since
he has been fighting.

In addition TO other charges made
against Willard some writer's charge
him with refusing to fight. Yet VIII
lard has fought no less than 80 fights
during the same period than most

eight fights year. or about one every

a man accused of lodging instead OF
fighting. Certainly a far better record
for the number of fights engaged in
during the same period than most
heavyWeights can show. And a better
record even than most of the little TEL

"a ual batting out-of-order play
4 \ came up in a game played in
the National league between Chicago
and Pittsburg. The aftermath of the
play caused just asemuch discussion as
the play itself and even at this late
date il is impossible to get anything
like a unanimous verdict as to what
would have been the proper thing to
do under the conditions that existed.
In the game in question, in the sew
enth inning, I believe. the Chicago club
decided to send a substitute by the
name of Cotter to bat for the pitcher.
Cotter came through with a hit even
ing up the game. At the close of the
inning, the Cub manager decided that
he would send COtter in to do the
place OF the twirler for whom Cotter
had batted. In the ninth inning, with
men on the bases it was the turn of
the Chicago catcher to bat. Now, since
Cotter had been sent originally to bat
for the pitcher and then had been con-
tinued in the game as a player, his bat
ting position was that Of the pitcher,
even though he assumed the role of the
catcher. The pitcher who had been
sent to the relief of the player for
whom Cotter had batted was forced
then to take the position of the original
catcher in the batting order

After having hit in the ninth position
in the seventh inning. COtter went to
bat in the eighth position in the ninth
inning, The pitcher should have bat

would have it, Cotter came through
with another hit sending the winning
run across the plate The moment the
Pittsburg club saw that Cotter's hit
was going safe, they scampered for the

despite the fact that fancy admission

One other thing noticed in the perusal
of the English papers was that little
mention is made of Freddie Welsh.
a British subject Other boxers. even
the most mediocre, get mention here
and there, but Welsh is ignored. Pos
sibly the reason for this is that Welsh
is in America and little news about him
gets back to English papers.
It seems probable, however. in some
quarters, it is felt that Welsh ran away
from what seemed to be his duty-en-
listing in the army and making himself
a target for the German shells.
Over in England when war broke
out, they figured that Freddie should
have been among the first to enlist.
