The judge will be benefited by his
friendship with the ball players prob
ably as much as are the players. He
wants the boys to regard him as their
friend and confidant to whom they can
go with suggestions, complaints or
troubles at any time, SO that any mis-
understandings can be ironed out be-
fore they become serious.
Magnates Hold AIoof.
1t iS the theory of Judge Lands that
if all the magnates associated more
with the players instead of standing
on their dignity and remaining apart
from the men there would not be as
much trouble. The aloOfneSS main
tanned by many magnates, he thinks,
gives the players the impression that
the employer is not only not in sym
pathy with them, bat that he is against
them.

feats a first baseman is called upon
to perform, but in this respect Shelly
is without an equal for a right-handed
first baSeman. His long reach and his
ability to switch his feet makes him
an ideal target and gives the infield-
ers added confidence. They can cut
loose with their throws and rest as
sured Sheely will stop them if it is
within the bounds of possibility
With a player like Eddie Collins
alongside of him, Sheely will not have
to cover so much ground, and he can
give ell of his attention to playing the
bag.
Shelly is a good hitter who makes
the pitcher put the ball over before

Some say the heavyweight cham

There are many who say that if

Judge Lands shows the right idea
In wanting TO make the personal &C
quaintance of every ball player in the
major leagues. If he is to be the high
priest of baseball he ought to know
the men whose destinies he is to rule
and he shows his wisdom by getting
acquainted with them. He goes 20
either the Cubs or White SoX park in
Chicago every day and visits the bench
of both the home team and the visitors
and chats with the players In this
way he gets to know what manner of
men he has to deal with, writes II. c.
Walker in the Detroit Times.
Popular With Players
1t is likely that Judge Lands will
become popular with the players and
he has already won their respect. He
doesn't want his presence to awe any
of the players and so he gets ac-
quainted with them to prove to them

fer the following lucid explanation:
"a sock back of the neck with the
fist and forearm. Dempsey gets his
opponent into position for the rabbit
punch with a left hook to the body.
This doubles up the victim and then
Dempsey steps to the right and lets
go back of the neck"
To our own knowledge Jack Demp-
sey pulled this same stunt against
Homer Smith at Racine one night
when he won in the first round. He
also repeated in his first battle with
Bill Brennan at Milwaukee in the sec
Ond round, when he pulled Bill for

TWIRLER Is AMBIDEXTROUS
Pinkey White Could Pitch With Either
Wing, and Was Mighty Hard to
Beat Either Way

Probably every young pitcher has
wished that he could throw both right
and left handed, but the instances are
extremely rare. Turner Barber Of the
Cubs ran up against that kind of a
twirler, however, when he was playing
with Union university in Jackson,
Tenn, and later when he was with an
Independent ball team.
1.-THE pitchers name was Pinkey
White who was with the Armley (AIisS.)

Independent nine," said Barber HE
would pitch right handed against a
right handed batter and left handed
against a sOuthpaw hitter. He had a
fair fast ball and a good curve when
throwing left handed, but was still bet
ter when working with his right wing.
In fact, he was mighty hard to beat
either way. 1 batted several times
against him back in 1914, but haven't

UNUSUAL BASEBALL RULE

A rule seldom called on was
invoked in the game between
Giants and Braves on May 2.
Burns hit a grounder to Barbara
and the Boston man booted it.
In his anger he threw his glove
at the ball and hit it. Umpire
Barry Mccormick gave Burns
three bases on the hit, which
had landed him at first base
originally. That scored Barnes
from first and gave the batter a
triple on what should have been
an easy out.

Norman was crushed with a sense
of his culpabllity. He felt like flying
from home, town and all the peo-
pie he had ever known. He skulked
behind hedge as a group of girls
came along. They were discussing
the fire SO excitedly that they paid no
attention to n lone member of their
group trailing on behind them. Nor
man noticed her, however. She was
Milly Daniels. He startled her by
stepping directly in her path
Just linger for moment, will you,
Milly?' he spoke under high agIta-
ton, "or I'll walk with you bit I'm
in terrible trouble, and I'm going to
leave town for good" and Norman re-
cited the entire story of the evening.
There's only one way out, don't you
see it, Milly?" he said. II don't dare
to face Farmer Logan; I'm going away

fire in his eye.
Norman marched out of the house,
hung around downtown until eight
o'clock, and then repaired to the
agreed-on rendezvous of the crowd, an
old buggy shed attached to a great
barn owned by Farmer Logan. He
felt uneasy, stubborn and nettled. Re
Gently he had been dared by his com
panions to smoke a cigarette. He
had met the dare and now, with two
of them in his pocket, he lit one. and,
in sheer rebellion against his fathers
system, was about to puff out his re-
sentiment when the signal cry of his
comrades echoed forth. Carelessly
throwing the lighted cigarette into
corner of the shed, he bounded out

to the town common; they got up into
