Poor Base Running

His cast supported Alec fairly well
with the bludgeon. But on the bases
with the Phllies there was nobody
home" One Of the most peculiar dou-
bic plays of all time helped make
Philadelpha's fifth inning of this bat
tie classic for the book.
Psskert opened the round with a
single to TIT and took second on Ban
croft's single to right centre. Stock,
raised a Texas Lacquer, for which
George Burns called. The left fielder
came away in just behind Fletcher for
the ball. The two Philadelphia runners
Rugged their bases, seeing which
Burns, instead Of making the catch,
trapped the ball. AS Il was an
outfield and not an infield fly, the run
ners consequently were obliged to pro-
coed TO the station ahead.
Burns threw the ball TO Herzog, who
touched out Paskert near second base
All Herzog then was obliged TO do was
10 tag the bag, which would have forced
Bancroft. Instead of doing this Her
zop threw 10 Holke, but the mistake
was not costly, and Bancroft iinally
was nipped for the double play on me
first baseman's return throw 70 the
captain.
moment later, when Schultz sim
gled 10 left field Stock stumbled gong
into second base and fell beyond tne
bag. Before he could right himself
and scramble back to safety Burns
whipped the ball to Fletcher for the
third out.
E5pa Jephtha Rixey had a more
Legitimate kick over a triplc-plated
"bone" that ruined his well-pitched
CANA against Ferdie Schupp. This
time n couple of the New York stars
furnished the "bones" Of omission;
Catcher Adams that of commission:
Rariden opened the sixth inning OF
the second game with a triple TO rignt
centre. Rixey struck out Iesreau'
then passed Burns.
There is a well-known rule IN base
ball that unless two men are out the
third strike automatically retres a
batsman il first base is occupied,
When Herzog famed Adams mUtted
the third strike. HerzoG was out
without further ado But, whether
through ignorance or design, the
Giant captain sprinted for first base.
Burns, who had shown such craft IN
trapping the fly ball in the earlier
game, was bilkcd into setting sail for
second. He wasn't obliged to run. II
did not appear sound judgment 10 do
so. A good throw would have cut him
down readily and assured Rixey a
shutout. for the ball had dropped just
A step in front Of Adams.
Adams. on the other hand, was
clearly as confused as Burns. with
two out he had no reason TO take
undue chances. But he acted as II he
entirely overlooked the fact that Her
zog had been eliminated. for he threw
hurriedly. The ball carried ten feet
over Niehoff's head, Rariden scoring
and Burns taking third. Herzog, who
ran on 20 second. was sent back 10
the bench, of course.
Giving Herzog the benefit 81 the
doubt. he pulled very foxy play to
draw throw from a young and OK
citable catcher. SO much cannot be
said either Of Burns or Adams. Adams
Great mistake was In not taking his
time on the throw. Burns, with smart
catcher, would probably have tossed OF
New York's only chance. as he could
never hope 70 get the slow Rariden

Sherrod Smith and Rube
Vanguard Are Badly
Battered by Braves

BOSTON, Sept. III the baseball
season lasted until November IL would
probably find the Brooklyn Dodgers,
champions of the National League for
a few weeks more. battling with the
Pittsburgh Pirates for the cellar posi-
ton. The Braves had no difficulty at
all to-day in capturing double header
from the Flstbush aggregation. The
scores were to and to 2.
The first game was featured by the
clever pitching of Don Carlos Patrick
Raglan, who in the olden time was one
Of the many jinxes the Giants were
forced to confront. Don Carlos held
the visitors to six scattered hits and
nary run did he allow tc trickle
across the plate.
Giants Jinx On Mound
Sherrod Smith opposed Raglan on the
mound and nine safetIes were gathered
from his southpaw slants. Three errors
aided Raglan considerably in scoring
his shut-out victory. Hickman, Miller
and Smith were the offenders. Zach
Wheat and Smith were the only
Dodgers 70 make a half way decent
showing at the bat against the offerings
OF Don Carlos. Each made two hits.
In the second game Rube Vanguard
started on the mound for Brooklyn. his
pitching rival being the veteran, Tom
Hughes. The RUDE who has slumped
sadly of late was hammered for FIVE
runs in the first three innings and gave
way in the fourth 70 Colby Jack
Coombs. Jack was found for three ad-
ditlonal runs which made the final
count very lop-sided.
The Braves did not hesitate bit in
the second conflict They got after the
Rube in the first inning Kelly opened
the onslaught with a single, but was
caught off first and run down. Rabbit
Meanwhile tripled 10 centre field and
scored when Jimmy Hickman mufed
Powell's drive. Rehg fouled out 20
Daubert. Rawlings kept up the attack
by doubling to left field, tallying
Powell.
The Braves finished their slaughter
of the RUDE in the third inning. With
one out the lively Meanwhile singled
and stole second. Powell went out 70
Daubert unassisted, Rehg hit safely and

lyle Smith walked and the bases were

Braves in both games smashed out en-

There will be delay enough in getting

But Des Moines having landed the

PLAYING PATRIOTIC AIRS.

1
The mayor of New York issued an
order recently prohibiting the playing
of the national anthem Of the United
States and those Of the allied nations
as dance music. Any restaurant, hotel
or dance hall which fails to observe
this edict will have it's license revoked,
he said. This Is sensible. No good
reason exists for allowing every galoot
to fiddle, loot and pound out distorted
samples of national airs. Public SEN
timent demands that public respect be
shown to the national hymn and other
patriotic airs: equally important is it
that they shall be played in a proper
manner. and not like jigs or horge-
podged into patriotic medleys. An AM

ing placard or diverted to other I'M
worthy uses. The same care should
be exercised in behalf of our national
airs.
