FREAKIEST PLAY OF SEASON
Umpire Allows Runner to Score Who
Left Base Before Fly Ball
Had Been Caught.

Del Howard, manager of Oakland,
Cal, team, tells of the frealziest play
that has happened In the Coast league
this season.
The Oaks were playing Seattle on
the latter's field. Casey was umpir-
ing the bases and Jimmy TOman ham
died the balls and strikes.
Jack Knight Of the Oaks was on
first base when Pop Arlett hit a fly
to left center. Bill Stumpf made q
great catch of it. Knight, who thought
Stumpf couldn't get near the ball,
had passed third base.
Stumpf threw to Kenworthy and the
ball went through his hands, passing
by several other Seattle players. It
hit the bats in front of the Oakland
bench and was picked up and thrown
to second before Knight could return.
Umpire Casey ruled him out. Then
Del Howard claimed the runner should
score, as the ground rules allowed the
man to advance If the ball hit the
players dugOut or bats.
Casey reversed his decision and the
run counted. Then ensued a 10-min-
ute argument.

PLANE DROPS BALL

A novel kickoff was witnessed
at an international football
match which took place In Vi
emma recently between Austria
and Hungary.
Both teams were lined up,
ready for the start, but it was
noticed they had no ball. An
airplane, however, suddenly APP
peared on the horizon, lowered
over the playing field for short
time, and then, to the huge de-
light of some $4,000 onlookers,
slowly glided down until it was
80 feet above the center. Then
the pilot dropped a football, and
as soon as the ball touched the
ground the referees whistle
sounded and the match was on.
Having got rid Of its bomb,
the airplane mounted again and
made off amid the cheers and
laughter of the crowd.
