"a usual thing; IT, not. ehe uses his legs
and feet to obstruct the spike-clad
runner. There, is always a poss. bility
that the runner will snap a bone in
his leg in the inevitable collision, and
the same danger exists as far as the
catcher is concerned.
Time after time in the American
league parks We have seer a runner
who apparently had the throw beaten
to the plate as far as ten feet be called
out by the umpire for the simple rea-
son that he didn't touch the plate. The
catcher had completely blocked him
Off. There wasn't a chance for the
runner to get to the plate without
literally cutting his way through the
enemy receivers body. ~
The play at the plate is always of
a. highly dramatic nature. So much
usually depends upon it. Always a run
is at stake. sometimes the result Of
the game itself. But the odds are al
ways against the runner, especially If
the play is close and it is necessary
to- slide. Obviously this is grossly un-
fair. We should think the umpires of
the leagues would pass a rule calling
men safe who are blocked at home
just as they do at other bases.

(By Joe Williams.)

The shin guard is an ancient insti-
tuition in baseball. 1t has been used by
catchers in some form or other for
many years.
Even the pretentious article Of to-
day with its steel ribs, leather trim
mings and felt interior is far from
new. Roger B%resnahan introduced
his type of leg protector ten years
ago. At that time he was the star
catcher of the New York Giants.
Bresnahan gave the fans a terrible
shock when he walked out on the
Polo grounds attired in the first set
of Composed pillows baseball ever
saw. The Toledo Irishman suggested
nothing so much as the gladiator OF
We olden days.
1t wasn't long before every catcher
In the majors was similarly equipped
and in q. seasOn or SO all the 1.no,
league backstops adopted the fad.
One of the greatest evils in base.
ball can be traced back to the. day o1
Bresnahan's innovation--the system
Of blocking runner off the home
plate. There isn't a. catcher in base,
a who doesn't do it. And there
isn't a, catcher in the game whc
wouldn't give half a dozan base hit.
If he didn't have to do it.
The play is as dangerous to tn.

Summary

Allied troops are not only holding
the Germans in check on both sides of
the Champagne salient but American
marines and French troops have
thrown back the enemy to a depth of
more than one mile on the sector

were advancing on h village of
Belleau. Further details have not yet
been received.
Since the marines entered the al
lied line northwest of Chateau-Thierry
they have participated in bitter fight
ing. Having withstood successfully
strong German efforts to outlank Retz

French comrades in improving con-
