Right of the reel shall settle the
argument and explain later. by
stating that the 8 to l defeat OF the
Sox was not the most lopsided con-
test ever staged by two world series
contenders. The eight-run margin
that separated the Reds and White
Sox at the close Of the first game has
been surpassed three times and equal
ed once in series of previous years.
The New York Giants in 1911, in the
series with the Philadelphia Athletics,
sustained the worst defeat staged

difference in runs. The Athletics won
the sixth and deciding game Of that
series at Shibe Park in PHILADELPHIA,

the seventh inning the Athletics made
seven runs. one of the biggest innings
ever staged in world series game

teams, resulted in a to victory in

In the first game of the 1919 world
series the Cincinnati Reds trimmed
the Chicago White Sox. 8 to 1. This
was one of the biggest surprises of
any series game ever staged. as the
Sox with Eddie Cicotte in the box
were hot favorites. In scoring five
runs of Cicotte in one inning, and
sending him to the showers. the Reds
treated Eddie more unkindly than did
the 1919 season. If you recall, the
final game of the 1919 series. which
cinched the pennant for the Reds.

Cincinnati team made one more run

The pitcher who impressed Frank
Chance as the greatest performer on
the mound during the several years
which the famous manager was in the
ajors was a hurler of the American
League, not of the National. where
Frank did most OF his managing. Ed
Walsh is Franks choice. In recent
tanning bee Chance had the following
to say about the pitchers whom he
had observed:
Il am not picking Walsh because he
smashed the hopes Of my Cubs in the
world series and city series time after
time, but because of the wonderful
way in which he swept through the
American League. A manager must
have pitcher who can work and WIN.
He must be able to take his turn on
the mound, and, if necessary. to take
the burden off some one else. That
was Ed Walsh. No pitcher was more
anxious to get on the mound than he

laurels to him. In Chicago there is a
saying that Walsh is the man who
built Charles Comiskey's famous base
ball plant. He did not drive a single
nail into the structure. but he helped
draw the money in at the gate. which
was more important. He was the man
who made the spit ball famous. I be-
lieve that but for the remarkable
work of Ed Walsh the spit ball would

ing the runners would have been
forced to hold their bases until the
second fielder got his hands on the
ball To allow such a thing would
have made it .possible for tielders
purposeiy to pulN such plays to the
discontinue of the base runners. Any
plays involving leaving a base on a
fly bali are now clearly covered by
the new rule. which says:
base runner who holds his base
shall have the right to advance. the
hands of a fielder"
In an important major league
game several years ago a pinch hit
Ter was sent in to bat for the catcher.
he tailed to so announce his entry
INTO the game to the umpire. The
plnch hitter made base hit scoring
two runs. The team in the field then
realized the man who made the hit
was new player. not in the regular
ilne-up. They asked the umpire if the
player had made known that he was
substituting for the catcher The
umpire admitted no one had apprised
him of the change. The team in the
field then made the contention that
the pinch hitter was an improper
batsman. that the proper batsman be
called out and the hit and runs rem
dered void: Several times a change
has been made in outfelderS without
the umpire being notified. Often the
presence of the new man in the game
is not discov ered until a fly ball is
hit jim his direction aud he makes
the catch. Then the team at bat
makes the contention the catch is il
legal, that the player making it was
never actually in the game. In the
ajor leagues it has always been
ruled that any time a player entered
the game without being announced
he merely took the place of the play
er for whom he substituted. The
majors could take such version. but
among the amateurs. college teams
and semi-pros such play caused
dispute. The rules specifically said a
player did not enter into the game
until he had SO advised the umpire
and his name was announced. No
longer will there be any argument
Formerly a fine of S. went with such
a violation. This has been increased
to S25. The rule reads:
play shall be suspended while an
.nouncement is being made: provided,
however. that. if through oversight.
such announcement is not made the
substitute player will be considered
in the game as follows: If pitcher.
when he takes his place on the rub
ber: if a batter, when he takes his
place in the batsman's box: If field
er. when he takes the place OF the
fielder substituted for: If runner
when the substitute replaces him on
the base he is holding. and any play
made by such unannounced substi-
tute shall be legal under these rules
Evening star., 1920-03-06

Once more the rule relating to a
base has been changed The rules
committee, in a sense, has gone back
to the original Interpretation. allow
ing the umpire to say whether a play
is being made on the runner. The for
mer rule made it imperative that the
runner be called out If coacher
touched him as he rounds third base.
The new rule is different and reads:
III. in the judgment of the UNI
the coacher at third base by touching
or holding the runner, physically as
sists him in returning to or leaving
third base. he shall be called out. The
runner, however, shall not be declared
out II no play is made
The coacher also comes in for con-
sideration on another rule, being hit
by thrown ball while standing in
his position on foul territory. When
this happens the ball is to be con-
sidered in play, unless the umpire
believes the coacher has Intentionally
gotten in the way of the ball. If the
umpire believes such to be the case.
he must send the runners to the base
last touched by them. and send the
coacher from the playing field. The
rule:
IF thrown ball strikes "A coacher
on foul ground the ball shall be con-
sidered in play. Provided, that if in
the opinion of the umpire the coacher
Intentionally interferes with such
thrown ball, the runner or runners
must return to the last bases touched,
and the coacher penalized by his re-
moval from the playing field
Every base ball fan knows it is
one of the cardinal principles OF the
game that runner who holds his
base on a fly ball has the right to
advance the moment the ball strikes
the hands of the fielder making the
base until the catch was actually
completed, fielders could keep base
runners in the air and make it prac-
tically impossible for them to ad.
vance by simply Juggling the ball
and keep running toward the inheld.
Despite this knowledge that every
fan has. there was nothing SPECIFIC
in the rules as to the rights OF the
base runner who held his base on a
fiy ball.

There was much argument as to
when the runners on the bases had
a right to advance. Some contended

How n Golf Ball Flies.

|. How a COLI Ball Flies.
Before ending this topic there are
some other points of great inteRst
brought out by TAFT and interpreted
pass on to my readers. With some Of
them old golfers are familiar. al
though they probably never before
understood the why of these golf
points.
For instance. many golfers believe
the highest point in its flight half
way between the spot where it was
driven from and where it lands. AS
matter of fact the ball reaches It's
highest point long after 1t has reached
the halfway mark IN it's hight.
well driven bah. says TAFT. that has
total carry of 1ay 16a yards is. under
normal conditions at its highest point
about 135 yards from where 1t was
struck and thereafter falls rapidly.
This fact is the result of the under
spin which helps the ball neutrailze
the down pull Of gravity and hence
keeps the ball in the air longer ana
gives greater distance. If there were
no underspin the ball would have
no help against gravity and the resuit Z. I
would be that the highest point OF its
flight would be halfway between the
it alighted. :.
Quoting further. .. TAFT says in
Braid's article: "It is well to- call at
tention to a singularly erroneous no
ton very prevalent among gol1ers'
namely, that following wind car
ries the ball onward. Such an idea
is, of course. altogether absurd. ex-
cept in the extremely improbable case
Of the wind moving faster than the
initial speed of the ball. The true
way of regarding matters OF this klno
IA to remember that there is always
resistance while there is relative mo
ton of the ball and the air. and that
1t is less as that relative motion is
smaller. so that it is reduced through
out the path of fight when there Is
a following wind"
Another very important point to
bear in mind. limited at in one of the
quotations already made. is that the
resistance Of the air or wind to the
ball, as the speed of the ball is in
creased, is In much greater than sim
ule proportion to that speed. What
is meant is that if. say. the ball is
travelling at the rate of 100 feet a
second the wind resistance may be
ten miles an hour, but IL the ball were
going at the rate of 200 feet sec
and the resistance would be equal to-
say, forty miles an hour. This is a
simple scientific fact which we have
to take for granted.
Then it is clear that the resistance
