INFIELD FLY
RULE COSTS
h.A.c. Gam E

Because the umpire who Of
ficiated at Lacey Sunday was
not familiar with the infield
fly rule, the Hopkins Athletic
club Of Tacoma lost a close
game to st. Martins college.
With Wright on first for
Hopkins, Hill hit an infield
fly. Wright started for Sec
ond but ran back to the bag
when he saw 1t was an easy
out. st. Martins End base
man Intentionally dropped
the ball, and then threw it to
the shOrtstop at second, who
returned the ball to first for
what seemed to be a double
out.
The umpire called both
batter and base runner out.
1t was the third out, and "a
man running from third
would have scored but for the
decision.
According to baseball rules
when a batter hits an infield
fly, the umpire must an
nounce enfield fly, batter
out" as soon as the ball has
started rising. The batter is
out whether or not the ball
is caught. This rule was
adopted a few years ago to
prevent just such trick plays
as st. Martins team staged
Sunday. Fred Pfeffer, in the
majors, used the trick play
SO effectively that the rule
was passed to stop him.
In Sundays game the bat
ter was out, but the base rum
ner safe. The score should
have counted. As 1t was, the
game ended 2 to 1 for st.
Martins.

EAST AND WEST ARE
STRUGGLING TO-DAY

and west. in the National league
will be staged today.
With first division honors in
the circuit split between the coun-
try's two sections, the Cardinals
will battle at Philadelphia, the
Cubs at Brooklyn, the Reds at
New York and Pirates at Boston.
The Cubs and Cardinals have
proved themselves we'll equipped
to take care of themselves. The
Cardinals are pressing the Giants
for the league leadership and the
Cubs are only slightly behind il
third place. The Pirates have
played only mediocre ball SO far.
but the Reds have performed IN
vastly different form from the
Cincinnati teams that used to visit
around the circuit.
The Cubs, under the leadership
OF Fred Mitchell, have been doing
things. Despite Injuries
to men who were believed to be
essential to the teams success,
Mitchell has been charging along
without let-up. His team is hit
ting better than the Cubs have
done for some time. His pitchers
are delivering in way that re-
calls the performance of George
Stallings' famous trio when they
flung their way to a worlds cham
pionship.

SUTHERLAND GETS
NICHE IN TACOMA
HALL OF HEROES

HARVEY SUTHERLAND, pitch.
or de luxe, champion twirler OF
the league In 1916 and candidate
for the big leagues this year
Jumped into the limelight at Ath-
leue park yesterday afternoon.
He pitched the first no-hit game
of the season in the Northwestern
league. With the entire team
working in mid-season form, do
ing all manner of sensational
things, Sutherland put over a de-
0isive no-run, no-hit victory on the
Great Falls Hesterics, second best
team in the circuit.
o o O
1T WAS AS pretty ball game
as anyone would care to witness.
For that matter, Tacoma is seeing
better ball this season, even II We
are only In the third week, than
local fans have enjoyed In many
years. Bert Hall, popular native
son, who pitched for Salt Lake
in the Coast league last year, did
good work for the Electrics, but
Tacoma's classy hitters were too
much for him.
THE ONLY ATTACK resemb-
ling hit came in the sixth, when
Charity slammed hot one to
Tealey Raymond. All scorers
agreed that the ball was within
easy fielding possibilities, and
gave Raymond an error on the
play.
No Great Falls runner reached
third base during the battle.
O o o
THE TIGERS landed on Bert
Hall yiciously in the first two in
nings. Harry Harper hit a long
double to center In the first, but
couldn't score on it. Downey dou-
bled to the right fence in the Sec
ond and was scored on another
double to left by Thompson.
Thompson was caught at third on
a fielders choice when Stevens hit
TO Hall, but Sutherland drove
Steve In from first on another
double to the center gardens. Ia
coma didn't have a chance again
until the seventh, when Harper hit
home run over the right field
fence. The bags were empty.
O o o
HERB HESTER, manager of
the visitors, occupied seat in the
grandstand yesterday. Hester
was fined 100 iron boys for his
run-in with Umpire Eckman at
Spokane last week, and refused to
pay. So Jumps Cusick ordered him
off the field. Boeckel paid up
IS fine yesterday for bad language
used on the ball field.
O. o o
SENSATIONAL PLAYS marked
yesterdays game. In the third
Bert Hall hit hot one to the left
field fence, but Joe Connolly
speared 1t with mighty one-hand-
ed jump. Bogart did a flip-flop
In the seventh to catch Messenger S
burning grounder, but got 1t in
time to beat Messenger at first.

change for the sensational out.
fielder. Harper Is hitting q
meager .4S1 today.
O o o
UMPIRE CUSICK shut his eyes
in the eighth. Daniels and Stew
ems attempted a double steal. Stew
ems slid under Byler at the plate
and wasn't touhced by the ball,
but his Jumps, who was on the 9TH
er side of the play, called him
out. We didn't need the run,
though, so why rave?
o o o
TODAY is A special ladies' day.
The fair fans are turning out
splendidly this year.
O O o
A TIP FOUL smashed through
the grandstand screen yesterday
and hit a scorer on the nose, al
most scoring a knockout. 1t might
have been recorded as one of the
bright spots of the game.
The scorer is recovering today
from his loss of blood.

WOMEN AROUSED BY
 COURTS SENTENCE
Indignant at WOrkh0uSe Term for
 Birth Control Advocate

New York, Jan. 23.-Women inter ested in the spreading of birth control propaganda expressed surprise and indignation yesterday at the sen- tencing of Mrs. Ethel Byrne, sister of Mrs. Margaret Sanger, to thirty days in the workhouse for breaking the law. Mrs. Byrne has been assisting her sister in the birth control clinic at No. 46 Amboy street, Brooklyn. Sentence was imposed by Justices Garvin, O'Keefe and Herman.
 One hundred women, many of them of social and political prominence, have banded together to help in the birth control movement. They have organized a committee, with Mrs. Amos R. E. Pinchot, of No. East Eighty-frst street, as chairman and recently they held a meeting to de- eide what to do in the event of the arrest or sentencing of Mrs. Byrne. The committee, which keeps it's meet ings secret, has been organized to support this movement as far as it can.
