That is the title of one act sl<it by McCreery. Produced just before the fateful contest yesterday. As follows:
 We were playing Tacoma One of our hitters slugged the ball straight down to second about seven thousand miles minute. The fielder had sense he did. Didn't try to put his hands to it. But in getting out of the way, he got his foot out there. the ball smote his toe, bounced into the hands of the first baseman, who made a double out of it

And how is this for an odd play? This happened in a college game this very years. Tufts and Dartmouth were ciashing on May 2S. With a Tufts man on third, the signal was given for a squeeze play. The Dartmouth pitcher started to wind up, and the man on third dug for home. The Dartmouth catcher jumped out of his position, and yelled to the pitcher who had just time to defect the ball to the left. As it came the batter moved out of his box and stretching around, hit the ball. The runner came rushing in and the ball hit him. This was fine mix-up for the umpire. He called for a balk on Wa namaker the Dartmouth catcher for being out of his box and allowed the runner to score. The batter was ord cred back to bat the bal counting nothing against or for him, being dead on account of the balk. In addition to this decision, which was the logical one, two other plays might have been called The batter might be out for Jumping out of his box and batting the ball, or the base runner might be out for being hit by a batted ball. The balk occurred first, and therefore took precedence. It was play that could not come up again in years. Not all baseball fans realize that a ball1 can be called on a catcher as well as a pitcher.

CHICAGO AND BRAVES WILL

Says Big Ed WaIsh-White Sex Have

There's a question in the minds of

between Boston. Chicago and Detroit is
going to end up. In one fellows opin-

thinks.
And Ed believes every word he says.
You can tell that by the enthusiasm he
shows in talking. He got all bet up

team and that we wouldn't be sur

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED STRONG.
Railroad Issues Revived and Their
Strength Spread to the IndustriaIs.

New York, Aug. ct was an open
question during the greater part of
today's trading in stocks whether The
market would retain unimpaired it's
large gains of the last few weeks, or
was on the verge of a reaction. The
list was soft in spots during the
morning and there were signs of a
tendency to sell freely. Although a
few OF the popular speculative issues
made further gains others fell back
and the movement was irregular and
confused In the later dealings, how
ever, the market lost it's uncertainty
and advanced generally, closing well
up on the day. Total sales were
TIE, 600 shares.
Anlunusual circumstance Of the aft
;ernoon rise. in market which has
been given over so long to the war
stocks, was, that the upturn began in
/ the railroads. St. Paul, Canadian Pa
cif1c, Reading, -Lehigh Valley and
Southern Pacific were taken up by
traders and wares advanced with no
great difficulty. Their. strength spread
to the industria1s before the close. al
though these issues did not reflect the
urgent demand of the earlier days Of
the week.
New high records were Bethlehem
Steel, up 10 to Bill Crucible Steel up
Ii to SO; General Motors up to 1913;
WHY'S Overland up to 143 and Con-
tinental Can preferred up 1-S to 1o3.
Steel sold at 7s 3-S, the best since
1912. Oil shares and various others
of the industrfalsz participated in the
rise. Before the close a selling move
ment was attempted and prices gave
way, but a recovery followed. Beth
lehem Steel was singled out for pres
sure on this movement and was forced
back to about on a level with yes
terday's close.
The speculative situation remained
practically unchanged.
Reports of crop prospects and trade
conditions were good and sentiment
was cheerful
Known improvements of money dur
ing the week indicated another in
crease in cash for the banks. Gains
were made from the interior and on
gold imports, suggesting an addition
to cash holdings of about 100000.
Irregularity developed in the bond
market. Foreign selling was heavier.
Total sales, par value, SO, 100000.

HamS method OF procedure at the out
set was to rush his opponent to such
an extent that the Californian would
be unable to get openings, but the lat
ters defense was so tight that Will

defense.
No important tennis match probably
was ever played under worse condi-
tons of weather and turf. A light rain
fell during the afternoon and the play
ers literally ioundered about, often
sprawling on the grass. 50 insecure
was the footing. McLoughlins' ter
rife forehand drives from the back of
the court were largely responsible for
his victory. The game developed lit
tie or no lobbing, and Mclaughlin did
not go to the net more than half a

COLONIAL LEAGUE
USED AS A BLIND.
Feds Get Rid of Surplus Players viii
Supposedly Good Contracts.

More evidence of the manner in
which the Federal league is using
the Colonial league as blind to
help it get rid of it's surplus players,
who are supposed to have iron bound
contracts, but which contracts do not
have to be lived up to on the part Of
the Federal league, comes to light
by the action of the Buffalo Federal
league club in connection with Pitch
er Woodman Of the Springfield club
Of the Colonial league. Woodman
has received notice from the Buffalo
Feds that his contract will be null
and void, he having received a ten
day notice to this effect. and the time
Of the notice expiring at this time.
This is only one of other instances
Of this nature that have cropped up
since the opening of the Colonial
league. Both Cannon and Texter,
who were sent to Hartford as catch
ers by the Newark Federal league
club. had their contracts abrogated
before they were told to go there, or
at the time that they were sent.
Boucher. the Pawtucket infielder, only
few days ago was given a similar
notice to that which Woodman re-
ceived last week, and Boucher said
he was going to fight the case The
chances are that Springfield will lose
a good man in Woodman, as he prob
ably will not care to continue at 800
month, the Colonial league maxi
mum.
Such actions on the part of the
Federal league are interesting just
now. It will be remembered that IL
was a ten-day clause that they OBJ
jected to when they began their raid
upon the major leagues or organized
baseball, and made much of the fact
that such clauses did not appear in
their contracts. Later IT was charged
that they were making similar con-
tracts with ball players. but the
charges were never proven. Now,
however, their own action in the case
Of Woodman makes IL appear as II
they have forgotten all of the high
principle which they shouted for
when they attempted to break in as
a third major league. And this Is not
the only change Of heart on their
part. as recently they have been
forced to give up a couple OF contract
jumpers, and they claimed that they
never would tolerate contract Jump
ers in that league.
The Worcester Telegram has a spe-
cial story under a Fitchburg date TO
the effect that baseball in that city
of the New England league Is fast
growing into disrepute because of
syndicate baseball, like that in the
Colonial league, only on a smaller
scale 1t is a repetition OF the charges
Of 1914 by which the Lawrence club
won the championship after buying
up the Haverhill franchise.
