May Use Bean Ball.

1t has been pointed out by some
baseball critics that the pitchers prob
ably will attempt 10 substitute the
bean BALI for the intentional pass.
AS far as the National league is con-
cerned they will not get away with It,.
"There will be no bean ball pitching
in our league" said President Heydler.
"If the pitchers entertain the idea that
any such thing will be tolerated they
had best get rid of it. Our umpires
will start the season with Instructions
covering a number of possible emer-
gencies of this kind and the National
league will back up their actions to the
limit.
1T may sometimes be difficult for
an umpire to determine whether a
pitcher is trying to give batsman a
base on balls or whether his mac
curacy in pitching is due to poor con-
troll. But any time a pitcher aims
the ball at the batsman several times
there will be no mistake about what
he is trying to do. l am sure that a
fine and an indefinite suspension would
soon eradicate any such practice"
Klem's tour of the camps calls for a
visit to every National league train
ing haunt with the exception OF Pasa-
dena, Cal, where the Cubs hold forth.
But KLEIN will have a chin-fest with
the Cub pitchers in Chicago prior to
the opening of the season

M'LARRY SCORES KAYo.

Polly McLarry, Chick first baseman,
scored a knockout Thursday afternoon.
Polly was at bat and several carpen-
tiers were at work on the rightfield
bleachers. At the time one of the car
penters was in the act of getting a Gin
der or some sort of debri out of the
eye of fellow nail-driver and was
looking down into the optic.
McLarry hit high foul that came
down directly upon the bean of the car
penter, who dropped to the ground
where he remained for the count OF

following are some of the pertinent
excerpts
THE Tri- State field is now believed

1917, Missouri surpassed Oklahoma i'm
zinc production. In 1918. however.
Oklahoma led by a wide margin and.
in 1919. Missouri produced less than
one sixth of the total for the three
states, when Kansas replaced Mis-
souri, in second place in the produc-
ton. The district is now producing
third of the zinc of the world and
twice as much as ever before at the
present price.
During the war, the price of zinc
concentrates in the Joplin district
was $3.50 per ton for 60 per cent zinc
for short time, and remained at
500 for some months; it averaged
about $9S for the year 1917 With an
average of $50 for 1916 and $S7 for
1918. there was a stimulus to drill
