CREDIT LOST FOR HOME RUN
Batsman Winning Game by Knocking
Ball Out of Park Should Be
Given Home Run Hit.

When the baseball rules are getting
their next revision, whenever that
may be, an effort will be made to
change the present Interpretation in
regard to home runs which decide ball
games. Under the system now in
vogue a batsman may hit the ball
outside a park, but if the runners on
bases settle the game the hitter does
not get credit for his home run, and
it does not go into the records as
such. This is an injustice to the
batsman, says writer in an ex-
change. While the run does not score
in the game, since it is not nee
essary, there is no reason why 1t
should not go into the summary OF
the game and into the official records
as home run. It is the most timely
Of hits and important enough to set
tie q game. Babe Ruth recently hit
into the stands at Boston, one of his
longest hits Of the year, yet it does
not show in his record Of home runs.
Pipp hit into the stands at the Polo
grounds recently and broke up ball
game, yet is not credited with home
run. This feature should be changed
so as to give the batsman credit.

jim Dunn was the first magnate to

after Secretary Baker announced
that bail players must either don a

There was no clubbing on Dunn's

That was Dunn's philosophy.
Dunn offered the use Of his great
construction organization to the gov
eminent early in the war.
eff they want me-" he said, 'I'Il go

The government decided that the
Dunn construction forces would be
more use at home.
Baseball was more or less of 8
mania with Dunn. He had owned
several minor league clubs before he
decided to get into the major game
and bought the Cleveland club. HI

The following account, taken from

the way in which the Red Cross OF
America is helping the women and
children of France:
The American Red Cross has placed
at the disposal of General Petain, COM
mander in chief of the French armies,
the sum of 5,65O,O0O francs ($1.13O,-

and "reforme" French soldiers and
their needy families.
It extends it's aid to the repatriated
children coming in conveys from occu-
pied France and Belgium by way OF
Evian-les- Bains. Four thousand chill
dren have been examined and nearly
1000 treated at the American Red
Cross hospital where also acute and
contagious cases are treated. More
than 10000 have received dispensary
treatment, and those in need of con-
yalescent care or those suffering from
tuberculosis are sent to the Red Cross
hospital near Lyon. The thousands OF
old folk, women and children without
homes, who leave Evian each week for
the various departments to which they
: are designated. find there the repre-
sentatives of the American Red Cross.
There are more than fifty distributed
in forty-four departments, who take
part in the work of rehabilitation, sup
plying furniture, clothing, fuel and
| food.
In Paris, twenty-six houses for the
lodging of refugees have been turned
over to the bureau. These will take
care of 700 families, or $3.50 indi-

cases advances money to cover the ex

which four runs were scored on
four pitched balls. He played
in the contest, which took place .
in the New York State league in
1913, between Troy and SYRIA
cuse. Owens pitched for SYRIA
cuse. CranstOn hit the first ball {
pitched for home run. Move,
the second batter, smote the first
ball delivered to him for a sim

on the first pitch to him. Hart

and swatted the first ball for
homer, making a total of four
, runs. Burchell then relieved

5 to A, in 13 innings. Hartley
