|, That" ayers one, "is another hit for Eddie"
 "A hit?" protests the other. Why, man, that's a boot. How're you going to figure hit out of that?'
 This is what the code says in section of rule 85:
 "A base hit shall be recorded in the following cases: .-.. When the ball from the bat strikes the ground on or within the foul lines and out of reach of the felders, provid- ed the batter reaches first base safely. When a fair hit ball is partially or wholly stopped by a fielder in motion, but such player cannot recover him. self in time to field the ball to first before the striker reaches that base or to force out another base runner.
 When the ball is hit with such force to an inf1elder. or pitcher that he can- not handle it in time to put out the batsnaan or force out a base runner. In case of doubt over this class of hits a base hit should be scored and the fielder exempted from the charge of an error.
 When the ball is hit so slowly to- ward a fielder that he cannot handle it in time to put out the batsman or force out base runner"

Say That Pope Sent No Message
 Regarding Peace

Rome, Sept. 6, via Paris, 12:4o D. m.-The Giornale D'Italian says: Having obtained authoritative lnfor- nation, we are able to state that the Pope sent President Wilson no auto graph letter. no message concerning peace, and not even the original copy of the Pontifical letters to the heads of the belligerent peoples"
 This newspaper says further that Washington reports to the effect that Cardinal Gibbons presented to Presl- dent Wilson a letter from the Pope are open to debate especially in view Of the fact that the Osservatore Romano, the organ of the Vatican, suppressed that portion of Washington despatch es which related to the message Car dinal Gibons is said to have presented to the president.

Interesting Controversy
 Over SwirnninQ Strokes

F. MEYNELL, one of Great Brit
 aims leading swimming experts, is the author of a recently published article in which he expresses skep- ticism regarding the value of the American developed trudgeon-crawl stroke and attempts to prove it's weak points. A controversy has sprung from the attack
 MT. Meynell begins by criticising the style of his own countryman, J. H. Hatfield, who has adopted the new stroke and broken many records with it, including the worlds record for one mile. Then he goes on:
 T want now to say few words about the added crawl kick, which changes the leg drive of the trudgeon, with it's well known scissor, into the advocated trudgeon- crawl action.
 Tt is admitted by Americans that the secret of success in any form of physical effort such as dis tance swimming, is constant relaxation of the muscles between applications of

the short sprint" These views were recently offered for com- ment to Alex Meffert, who was the all around national swimming cham pion in the late eighties, and has for twenty years been one of our most successful coaches.
 Meynell argues against himself" Meffert said recently, when he tells of Hatfield's faults of action. If a cer- tain stroke enables a swimmer to break worlds records in spite of poor form it is obviously superior to any other.

Basis For Conflict.

washington. Sept. 6-The appar- ent conflict between Rome and Wash ington despatches regarding Pope Benedicts peace message to Presl- dent Wilson is regarded here as rest ing solely over whether the Pope ac- tually addressed a personal message to the president Cardinal Gibbons on his visit to the White House last Thursday said he had delivered message from the Pope to the president but could not divulge it's contents. It was learned that the message, which came as a cablegram from Rome, addressed to the cardinal last Monday, contained congratulations of Pope Benedict to President Wilson for his efforts on be- half of peace and expressed the views of the Vatican, which are well known. Thus, technically, the message was to Cardinal Gibbons, although he was commanded to express certain views to President Wilson. That is the course generally pursued in diplo- matic relations.
 Belief of Catholics.
 Tn Catholic circles here 1t is be- lieved the Vatican intended Cardinal Gibbons should express to the presi- dent what he knew to be the pon- tiff's position and that the Pope, while ,probably believing that the time was not one for direct personal com munication, took the opportunity for preparing the way for such mes sage. It is believed here that the statements from Rome were prompted by requests for the text of what was believed there to have been formal communication from the vatican to the White House and that they were not intended as denials of the story as it had been published in this coun- try. .-'

What Is a Base Hit?

WHEAT is base hit, and why and
 when? asks a baseball writer.
 It is one of the surprising things of the frequently surprising game of baseball that fans always differ in their opinions on this question.
 Two followers of tho game are sit-. ting together. The batter knocks a grounder to short field territory. The sl1ortstop and third base1nan rush for it. Tho ball bounds into the short stops hands and out again. He throws too late to get his man at first.

TOES gsod manager make ball
 club, or, on the opposite side of the debate, does good ball club make a manager?
 With the unseemly trouble sustained by McGraw, Mack, Griffith, stallings and others this season the old argu- ment as to the comparative value of manager and material has returned in force. Part of the experts insist that good ball club makes a good mana ger, and another part still contends that a good manager means a good ball club, as the manager is over 50 per cent of the combination.
 Just as there is a blend in the value of batting, pitching and fielding, So is there a blend in the value of a man ager and his material A bad manager can soon wreck good material. And a good manager can never hurl poor ma- terial to the front. McGraw, Mack and Stallings can do better with aver age material than most others, but not even McGraw, Mack and Stal1ings can win pennants with poor material, un- fit for the skill and speed and power needed in a pennant drive.
 S"V VI SSSt <NnS"STSs
 But the main answer is here: A poor manager will rarely ever build up winning club, whereas a good man ager in time will get the material and instill the needed instruction and mor- ale required to finish in front. This is proved by the records that show McGraw and Mack with five penrlants won with different lineups. where after ho able to build up another fast enough tc go the distance.
 One point at hand is the case of c. Rowland and the Chicago White Sox Have the Sox made Rowland look like great manager?
 Rowland had little to do with the building up of the White Sox machine. He was lucky enough, to start with a winning combination. But on the oth- er paw, having started with this com bipatien, he has shown ability at di- rectirs it's ways.
 Which proves again that it takes managerial ability plus the material to - n and tha- neither can arrive where "ne ot, 1T is missing.
 Both NJ # Be Go~d.
 There must 5n z. nigh average b'ec" .etween the man .ger ana his mate :al. just as baseball -t'H is a blend of bat ting, fielding, pitching, base running and team play.
 Hard hitting clubs have finished in the second division. So have clubs with fine pitching and good fielding, The winning club is the one that has the best of the blend, not the best of any one or two departments,
 Connie Mack has had ball clubs f1n- ish as low as sixth place. whereas Jake Stahl has won a world cham pion- ahip. Which is one answer as to man.

THERE is whole lot more psychol-
