The United States geological survey
has been charged with the vast task
of mapping partially explored areas
of the country and has been at work
for the past thirty years on its stupen-
dous job, but to date only 43 per cent
of the area of the United States has
been covered by standard Topographic
maps and it is estimated fifth of
these now need revision.
Therefore, the need for standard
topographic map and series of de-
tailed maps is held to be the biggest
work Of the new board. according to
its chairman, O. @. Merrill.

Running Play Turned
out as Planned.

The queerest play known to base
ball was pulled off by Harry Davis, the
first sacker of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
Players often steal second base, but
few steal first base; yet that Is what
Davis did, and here is how he did 1t:
Dave Fultz, the crack base runner
of the American league, was on third
base and Davis on first.
With the motion Of the pitchers
arm Davis started for second, attempt
ing to draw throw from the catcher,
so that Fultz could score. The catch
err, however refused to try for Davis,
and he was given credit for stolen
base.
On the next ball Davis started back
toward first base, and the catcher lost
his head, thinking that Davis thought
there were three outs, and snapped
the ball down to first base in rapid
style.
With the motion of the catcher's
arm. Fultz, who was watching the play
from third base, at once hit for home
and the first sacker, seeing Dave
