ODD PLAY COMES UP
IN MACK-DODGER FRAY
Oldring Sent to First When
Catcher McCarty Touches
Bat With Glove

DAYTONA, Fla, March 27.-One of the
oldest plays in the history of baseball oc-
Cured in the Athletics Brooklyn contest
yesterday. Oldring was batting in the
first inning when Pfeffer cut n fast ball
straight over the heart of the plate. Old
ring quickly turned to Umpire Rigler and
started TO kick To the amaZement of the
crowd Rigler sent him to first base. The
fans could not understand the play, but
last night Bill KLEIN, Rigler's running
mate explained the play.
Here is Klems version
Just as Oldring started to swing at the
ball Catcher McCarty, who was standing
too close to the plate, tipped Oldrng's bat
with his glove. Oldring was wideawake
and claimed the base, which Rigler was
forced to give. In all my career as an
umpire 1 have seen the same play come
up but once, and that was when | first
broke into the National League, Frank
Bowerman, who has been out of the league
almost 10 years, had a habit of pulling
the trick in a pinch, but always got away
with 1t until Bob Emslie called him one
day.
'As a rule players will kick TO the
catcher when they think the catcher pulls
this play deliberately, and forget that the
umpires attention should be called TO it.
Rigler tells mo that he never saw the
play before, and l doubt II 1t has come
up more than once or twice in the history
of the game"
Another odd feature of the play Is OBJ
tanned by looking at it from the scorers
standpoint There is nothing in the sCor-
ing rules to cover the point. 1t is certain
that the batsman cannot he charged with
a time at bat, yet he has not reached first
base by being hit by pitched ball, sac
rfce or on four balls There also is no
way to account for the interference in the
box score or pitching records, as there is
nothing in the scoring rules covering this
point KLEIN is not so sure that the play
ing rules cover the point with men on
bases, He says he really does not know
what would become of the base runners
II there were any on bases at the time.

DAYTONA, Fla, March II.
TTJHEN a team Is beaten to 0 one gets
w the impression that It is almost hope
less. particularly after the beating follows
three crushing defeats, such as the Mack
men sustained at Miami at the hands of
the Braves, but In this particular instance
such is not the case The Athletics really
showed signs Of Improvement in the first
game against Brooklyn.
There Is still room for greater improve
ment and one or two changes will be
necessary before the Mackmen will be in
good enough shape to put UP a strenuous
fight against American League teams.
However the general work of the team
yesterday, barring one inning, was much
better than 1t has been to date.
One inning in which the Dodgers tailed
sx runs, only one Of which was earned,
appeared to awaken the Mackmen and
thereafter they played excellent ball.
Three misplays were made after the six
run inning, but the men went after the
ball as If they really meant to get 1t,
and displayed dash and snap which
heretofore had been sadly lacking.
NTinot Crowell was the victim of the
slx-run affair and was really responsible
for large part of his trouble, though he
would have gotten away with but one run
II his mates had done their part. Crowell
pitched well enough, although he did not
have as much stuff as he has shown to
date The young man has the proper
spirit however. and last night asked
Harry Davis to allow him to oppose the
Dodgers again today. Davis told him that
he intends to start "Chief" Myers on the
mound, but may allow him to work the
last four innings.
Tom Sheehan, who was injured Satur-
day. and who was thought to have been
badly hurt, took UP the pitching burden
in the sixth and the Dodgers went score
less during the remainder of the game.
Several balls were hit hard, but the Mack
men made sensational plays which robbed
Brooklynites OF apparent safeties.
"Stuffy" Mcrnnis more than atoned for
a wild heave in the third by making sew
eral miraculous plays at first. "Shag"
Thompson made two circus catches of
terrific line drives. Malone made two
brilliant stops, while young Bill Meyers
broke up the double steal twice and made
swell catch of a foul off the grandstand
screen.

Fake Medicines and Child Plague

correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle speaking repeated warnings against using fake medicines in of infantle paralysis, and commenting upon the seeming inability of regular practitioners to the disease up his remarks in these words: None doubt the wisdom of preventing the sale of medicines when they do not cure but wherein lies the difference between them and those used by the board of health?"
 This may be easily answered. While yet there is no specific infante paralysis still science is progressing in that direction Engaged in the search for such a remedy men of profound learning and experience who bringing to the task ripened in telligence In time they will locate what they looking for.
 Those who promoting fake medicines at the expense of the gullibe and impatient public have neither learning experience. There is nothing in what they sell will sell that have any value as a cure for the disease or as a moder of it's results. Worst of al those who succumb to their al- turing claims give the only hope there is for their children under existing conditions-scentfic help in minimizing the after effects of the disease.
