Batter hits bail over the fence
and makes tho circuit OF the bases
on his drive. In rounding third base
the coacher slaps him on the
back 1t was merely slap Of
praise as the ball had passed out OF
playing territory when the coacher
so performed. A claims the runner
should be called out for the coach
er's interference while B claims he
is entitled to a home riln.
B is right the batsman who hit
tho ball over the fence is entitled
10 home run regardless Of tho
action of the coacher in slapping
him on the back.
The rule governing such o play,
says no penalty should be inflicted
when there Is no chance to make a
play on the base runner. When a
batter .hits tho ball over the fence
'or into the stand tho presumption
Is that no play is possible and he Is
entitled to home run.
The coaching rule was made
with the intent TO inflict q penalty
when the action Of the coacher had
direct bearing on the play.

Comet Golf Is
Latest Stunt
sy BILLY EVANS.

When the old golf germ gets you,
It hits hard.
1t is no longer a six months
sport, but an all.year.round game.
Those fortunate enough to be able
to go south or TO the coast during
the winter find plenty Of inviting
golf courses. ~
The city Of Miami, Florida, boasts
five courses. and, as a result. gets a
big play, since the climate OF Miami
Is always favorable for golEing.
There are some dyed -in,the-wool
golf bugs who play the game up
north the year round by using the
red ball. This is possible unless the
snow gets too deep.
From Portland, Oregon, comes a
tale OF new way to overcome the
snow hazard. In that section OF the
country there seldom is enough
snow to prevent golfing all winter.
Recently severe. snow storm
temporarily halted the golf game.
1t was too deep for the use OF the
red ball, which usually answers tho
purpose Of winter goif.
E. T. Parker, OF Portland, is a
golfer who hates to have even the
snow interfere with his game. He
set about to invent a contrIyancc
that would overcome the snow
hazard.
Parker conceived the idea of
driving a tack into the ball and ty.
ing red tYine about two feet long
TO the tack.
The ball was teed with the tail OF
twine in front, so that II would not
catch the shaft OF the club lin driv.
ing. The improYiscd tail dIagramed
the course Of tho ball after It struck
the snow covered ground.
Eighteen holes were played and
not ball was lost. As a matter OF
fact. not even time was lost in
hunting the bali, so clearly was its
course outlined In the snow.
The game has been tabled Comet

he will be in condition until the

absolutely necessary for Pierre
Hill to stick out through the two
Tech clashes and the Grove City
game. Pierre is still very weak,
but Coach Stadsvold does not have
"a capable forward Bubstitute TO

West virglnia's footing Is very
uncertain at the present time and
the slightest mistake or an injury

cherished tri-state championship.
With the exception of Hill the
squad is in fairly good condition
and they will be able to play their
ugual good game at Pittsburgh and
Grove City this Friday and Satur'

will cripple them for good and
ruin their title hopes.

In his day Terry McGovern was

fighter, who never gave an inch,
who carried the fight to his op-

Nc Govern was q popular hero.
Ho was regarded as invincible.
And then there came out Of the
west a young man by the name OF
William Rothwell who had taken
the name Of Young Corbett as his
ring monicker.
Young Corbett was matched
with Terry McGovern. No one con-
coded Corbett a chance. Terry
would surely knock him out, was
the verdict Of all the experts.
The bout was staged at Hartford
Conn. Corbett knocked out Meow
ern in two rounds. It was one oil
the most sensational bouts in the
history Of the ring.
| He had come from the west prac-
tically unheralded and in two short
rounds had beaten down the great
NIcGovern, Terrible Terry" He
was offered fabulous sums by pro-
moters to box and fancy salaries
by rival theatrical producers.
In a few short years Corbet,
made perhaps a quarter Of a mil
| lion dollars. That was some money
in those days. He lost most Of his
money us quickly as he made It.
So-called friends found him easy
to touch. He bet on horses that
ran last. and was a fall guy for the
wheel. When he lost to Jimmy
Britt It was the turning point in
his career.
From then on he didn't seem tc
