With Akron Abruptly by Sensa-
tional Catch Fly.

In the ninth inning of the game be
tween Buffalo and Akron international
League teams on August 81 Walter
Heating, the Buffalo captain and short
stop, made a triple play unasssted,
which ended the struggle abruptly
after the Akron team had started a
smuggling rally which threatened to
land it in front Two runs were in
when both Shields and Walsh singled.
ShortstOp Webb drove liner that APP
peared to be going safely and it set
the base runners skipping hOmeward.
But Heating made a great catch for
the first out. Shields was we'll on his
way to third and Heating had but to
run over and touch second. Walsh
could not pull up and he was tagged
two feet from second. The play was
made so quickly that the fans did not
realize the game was over until the
players left the field. Buffalo won
to 4.

Chapman IntentionaIy-First
Fatal Accident.

There is a controversy on in the ma

death of Ray Chapman.
Some of the players claim that Mays
'beaned' Chapman Intentionally and
that he should be barred from the ma
jOr leagues forever in consequence Of
his act.
There have been more than Fifty
years of professional baseball, and in
all that time there has been but this
one fatal accident.
Time and again major league bats
men have been hit on the head with a
pitched ball, but with no after effects,
and time and again players have been
injured by the pitcher.
But with all these accidents, in the
fifty years there has been but this one
fatal occurrence.
For my part, | put the sad incident
in the accident column and will let it

than that and cite an instance to

ONLY A SCRATCH HIT

Walter Morris, president of
two Texas leagues, tells this
story of game in the West
Texas league:
The winning runs were on the
bases when Manager Jim Gal
loway of Ranger came to batsin
the ninth Manager Pop Boy
Smith of the opposing team or
dered the pitcher to walk Gal
loway, a mighty hitter. The
pitcher shot a fast one in the
groove, just shoulder high!
Wham and the ball disappeared
over center field fence into
corn patch.
"Whaddye mean pitchin' to
that guy?" yelled Smith.
THAT was a scratch hit"
calmly answered the pitcher.
Scratch? Scratch me eyei
Whaddye mean a scratch hit?'
demanded Smith, who was on
the verge of apOplexy.
81 mean it was a scratch" re-
peated the pitcher firmly. THAT
guy only scratched up two rows
of corn in that patch"

WOULD BAR HIS BROTHER

1t is nice to have a family and
all that, but it's best to keep
them away from ones corner
when you're boxing, says Benny
Leonard. Bepay says: 'My
brother Charley will have to stay
out of my corner after this.
They say he helped me back in
the ring at Benton HarbOr and
nearly gave the referee chance
to disqualify me.
II didn't know exactly what
he had done until the fight was
over, but when they explained to
me it almost took my breath
away Charley is more than
brother to me- and all that, but
this proves he is a bad man to
have in my corner, especially in
a fight that is an important one"

Buck Freeman, With Babe Ruth in inset

"Hftting home runs is on the same
principle as successful trapshooting,"
said Buck Freeman, now an umpire in
the American Association circuit. You
must hit the center to get the breaks"
Buck is as well qualified 70 talk of
knocking home runs as Babe Ruth,
the Yank slugger who has broken all
records this season besides establish
ing new one last year. Freeman is
man below average height and his
home run record stood for 20 years,
or until Babe Ruth bobbed up last sea-
son. Ruth is almost a giant in size.
Freeman, during his career as a
baseball player two decades ago, was
a natural long distance siugger, al
though he was not as large as many
of the other famous sluggers. This
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1920-10-09

proves conclusfvely that hitting home
runs means more than the giant
strength which frequently is attrib-
uted to Ruth. Freeman, in 1899, made
his record of % hOmers in one season
while playing with the Washington
club, then in the National League
Conditions, too, have changed, CIV
ing Ruth an advantage over the con-
ditions that prevailed in the batting
days of Freeman. Ruth uses a 5S-Ounce
bat 40 inches long, while Freeman
used 80 ounce bat only 80 inches long.
Freeman probably could not have
welded such large bat as Ruth's,
which in itself is a good argument that
there is something in the knack of
hitting hOmers other than that of brute
strength.

URGES HIGHER RATES
FORMER FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
RAPS POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM
FAvORS ESTABLISHMENT OF IN
STlTUTION ALONG LINES OF
FARM LOAN BANK.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, Sept. 2i-Herbert Hoov-
er, who testified before the Senate
committee OF reconstruction, declared
lie believed the aggregate of national
savings would be stimulated if the
government stopped profiteering" and
paid something like an adequate rate
Of interest to depositors.
Reports showed, he said, that prof
its obtained by the government in 1918,
chiefly from r%edeposit of postal Nv
lngs bank funds in banks at 212 per
cent interest were S l,l35,00O, while, he
added, examination Of any annual
postal savings bank report would show
that depOsitors do not receive much
more than ! per cen interest.
IF IA complete balance sheet were
made from the beginning" he said,
THE return of the government as in
Dictated by the profits during 1919 on
postal savings bank deposits, proba-
bly, would represent at least 100 per
cent profit per annum on any capital
invested by the government in sup
porting the scheme in its early stages
or any capital extension that has
been necessary in the POstoffice De-
partment. Such an operation in pri-
waite banks would be dignified by the
term 'p~rofiteering' and a public de-
mand would require investigation by
the attorney general. The deposit
ors are the poorest and least wise of
the community and deserve especial
care"
Nj. Hoover declared that 1t would
seem only justice" if the whole
method of payment of interest
should be reorganized so as to APP
proXimately distribute the profits
back to the depositors. He said the
postal savings banks were estab-
lished for the prime purpose of en-
larging the area of national savings.
He asserted the stimulation to saw
ings was not interest return but
merely the inducement of safety.
'The real question at ISSUE" he
shlu, appears 10 me 10 be mol only
To depositors but also whether
he aggregate of national savings can
be increased by offering n larger re-
urn on postal savings deposits, wheth-
ar more savings can be pulled out of
stockings, waste and luxuries and
Wildcats every dollar so saved is a
to national welfare"
While Mr.. Hoover said he had no
of the validity Of the principle
hat the government through the pos
al savings banks, should not compete
With mutual and other savings banks,
le said the first thing that should be
is to pay interest at the rate of
4 per cent quarterly on average de-
'oslts. |
This" he added, sis only a matter
4 justice and Is the application Of the =,
NV at the rate Of . per cent per an
