Every year some bright young man
announces that the team with which
he is connected isn't going to use
the hit and rim play any more-the
old ham-ah6-eggs, as the boys In the
small leagues used to refer to the
play One would be led to suspect
that the play is Of recent origin; fad

months and dropped as impracticable.

any team which employed the play as
a regular thing. The Detroit Tigers
are supposed to have used 1t more
often than any other team in the
American league. But If figures were
available it would probably be shown
that all the clubs use the play with
more or less frequency.
OF course teams with clever place

Baseman Foster for instance. and the
Tigers with Veach, Cobb and Bush.

naturally employ it more often than
others. But just as no team has ever
used the play As Stedus ulel, Hoi
will there be any organization OF
smart players that will forsake it en-
tirely It's primary virtue lies in its
unexpectedness. 1t is one of the pref
test plays in the game. To eliminate
it entirely from teams offensive
scheme would be to rob that team of
color and variety, qualities essential
not only to success on the diamond
but at the box office as we'll. Our pri-
vate bunch is that the hit and run will
be with us as long as the game itself
exists.

Year of Christ's Birth

History tells us that for 800 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they belonged The Roman Christians
used the ANNA Urbis Conditiae" or
year of the founding of Rome. to count
from; others counted from the reign
of Diocletian. calling it 1.-THE Era of the
Martyrs" and sthl others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century, Denis the Little, a Greek
monk living in Rome, made calendar
counting from the Incarnation. the
date of which he fixed at 753 A. U. G.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded in 1913 B. c. At the beginning
of the eighth century, the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was an his
torical blunder. But no general no.
tice was taken of his criticism. and the
error has continued to this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schol-
lrs to determine. without much DOS
sibility of doubt, the exact year of the
birth of Jesus. and to place it at what
we call B. G.
