TAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS
Practice in Vogue Today Has Come
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

The Christian oath on a copy of the
Gospel seems derived from the late
Jewish oath taken holding in the hand
the scrool of the law Tor the phylac-
terles), ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was to lay the hand on
the Gospel, and it was kept up to a
modern date in the oath of the Uni
versity of Oxford. The practice of
kissing the book, which became so
well established in England appears
In the Middle Ages. The book was
often laid on the altar, or latter tbe
manner Of ancient ROme) the swear
er laid his hand on the altar itself or
looked toward it, above all, it became
customary to touch the relics of saints
on the altar. Other objects, as the
cross, the bishops crozier, etc., were
sworn by. An oath ratified by con-
tact or inspection of a sacred object
was called a corporal or bodily oath,
rs distinguished from q merely spo-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath Is taken is 'halidome.
The "halidome" on which oaths are
sworn In England is a copy of the
New Testament Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament; the sacred books
OF other religions are used in like

IN the last nine campaigns, since he
first gained recognition as a regular
player in fast company, McInnis has
failed but twice to bat better than 300.
His successful campaign last season
with the worlds champions witnessed
his lightest hitting performance. He
batted only .272 in Boston. Once be-
fore, only, he failed to qualify in the
charmed circle. That was in 1916.
lie dubbed for .295 that year as
member Of the Athletics. But it was
only a remnant of the old machine
with which Connie Mack had won four
championships and three world cham
p!onshtps. McInnis at the time was
the sole survivor of the illustrious
hundred thousand dollar infield."
Best Hitting Year.
In 1912, the year Jake StahPs Red
Sox nosed out the Athletics, McInnis
had his best hitting year, 1927, and
that year, too, he stole the most bases,
q. The next year, when the Ouakers
beat the Giants for the second time
in the worlds series, McInnis hit
3326. In 1911 he dubbed 321. He hit
.314 in each of the seasons of 1914
and 1915, and 1903 in 1917, his last
year with the Athletics. 1t can be
seen, then, that Stuffy is a consistent
as we'll as a brilliant hitter.
McInnis was one Of many brilliant
phenoms unearthed and schooled by
Connie Mack for the purpose Of re-
construction after his great team of

Giants in the worlds series-had gone
to seed. The list included such other

John (Stuffy) McInnis, first baseman
of the worlds champion Boston Red
Sox, has been for many years now
past one of the striking wonders of
the game. If one were looking for
q fist baseman among a crowd of uni
formed men on the bench McInnis is
about the very last man he would sus-
pect Of class for the position. PHYS
lcally he is living refutation. in ap-
pearance, of everything a good first
sacker is supposed to be in these
times of highly developed specialties.
10 begin with he is a chunky look
ing fellow who bellies his five feet ten
inches. He is somewhat deliberate of
action off the field. His arms are
short and he does not appear possessed
OF the reach or "stretch'' which has
come to be associated with the first
base type. He is right-handed throw

demand for the position.

10 begin with McInnis is one of the
niftiest and surest infielders of the
game, for if he lacks any way in phys

up for the deficiency in agility. And
If he foozles wild throw now and
then that bigger mana Chase or
a P1pp-might get he more than makes
up the difference in the deadly punch

the word.

batting, too; bui I was positive
that first base would not be so
easy. l didn't ask many ques-

fellows in the league. I thought
if I could catch them with one
hand like Stuffy McInnis I'd be
satisfied. I saw how Walter
Pipp shifted his feet and
stretched for yards, and I saw
how Chic Gandil went in the dirt
