various Ines of athletics immediate
~ made him popular favorite with

ketball player at the state meet. but

|BQh,, h,o,,,,l|

During my II years in the major
leagues | have seen a number of ul-
usual plays.
1t has been my good fortune to
witness triple and double plays un-
assisted. Likewise / have seen dou-
BILE plays made in many freak ways.
once saw Derrili Pratt of the
New York club literally drop kick
double play. He overran the ball
slightly. and before he could get his
hands down. his right foot had come
into contact with the ball.
Derrill Pratt was with New York
at the time. Roger Peckinpaugh
PLAYING short for the Yankees, ran
over to second to take the throw.
as a man was on first at the time
and the hit and run was on.
Instead OF throwing the ball, how
ever. Pratt kicked it for perfect
field goal into the waiting hands of
Peckinpaugh as he stood on second
thereby forcing the runner at that
base. A fast snappy throw to first
retired the batsman.
1t was freak double play if there
ever was one. will never forget it.
However, in a game at Philadel-
phia recently. | saw perfectly exe-
GATED double play in which the
pitcher did most of the execution.
In all my career ! have never seen
its like. A description OF the play
will show it's unusual features.
Detroit was the opposing team.
Lu Blue. the fleet first saclSer of the
Tigers. had reached tho initial sack.
hit and run sign. and Blue was off
with the pitch.
Cobb lashed a sizzling grounder
between second and first. which Doc
Johnson. playing first for the Ath-
letics, barely grazed 1t slowed the
ball up a trifle however and de-
Elected it in the direction OF Pep
Young at second. Now for the big
thrill of the play:

dashed over to cover first base.
When Johnston merely grazed the
ball no play seemed possible. but
Moore continued on his way to first.
Young recovered the ball in short
right field. and by a great throw
to Moore. who covered first. nipped
the fleet Cobb by inches.
In the meantime Blue was dashing
mad1y for third. Most pitchers
would have been content to get Cobb
and forget about Blue. but not Moore.
Pivoting on the bag. as he received
the throw from Young. Moore
wheeled in the direction of third and
by beautiful throw to Jimmy Dykes
got Blue at that base by a scant
margin.
It is the first time in my career
that | have ever seen a pitcher act
is the pivot man in a double play.
that started at first and finished at
third.
Another remarkable feature is that
two fleet runners like Cobb and Blue
should be the victims.

FRENCH HAVE GREAT
DIFFICULTY RAISING
FUNDS FOR OLYMP|CS

PARIS. June 2-The preparations
for holding the 1924 Olympic games
in the Colombes stadium, which ap-
peared to be progressing smoothly,
struck another snag today when the
French Olympic committee informed
Premier Poincare that subsidy of
10. 600, 900 francs was insufficient to
organize the games and the commit
tee might have to turn over the
games to the international Olympic
committee unless the subsidy was
raised to 100000 francs. The
notice to the premier was sent after
the Olympic committee had been Of
ficially informed that the finance
commission of the chamber of depu-
ties had appropriated only 100000
francs for the games, 100000 of
which would be advanced to the rae
ing club of France in order to inn
prove its stadium at Colombes, and
build a swimming pool, the amount
10 be repaid to the government by
the club from gate receipts of the
Olympic games. The other 100000
would be placed to the credit of the
French Olympic commission by the
ministry of finance. Thus the gov
eminent would be disbursing only
100000 francs.
The finance commission OF the
chamber has invited sporting soci-
eties and private individuals to sub
scribe the remainder which the
Olympic commission insists is neces-
sary to organize the game. The
stand of the Olympic commission in
demanding 15.000,000 francs created
an unfavorable impression in the
chamber of deputies tonight.

Salary Dispute Is
Ended AS Romnel
Shows His Class

Baseball aboundS in unusual stu
ations on and off the ban field.
The case of Pitcher Ed Rommel of

out.
Last winter Rommel and Connie
Mack disagreed over salary Rom
mel was of the opinion that he was
worth much more than Mack offered.
II am through pitching major
league ball for minor league sal
arv,p. is the way Rommel put it. Il
will never play ball for Mack again =
Connie Mack. who is always there
with the retort courteous. came back
IF Rommel has been pitching
major league ball since he Joined the
Athletics, he has kept the matter
secret"
Then to end the argument Mack
advised Rommel to take his salary
grievance TO Commissioner Lands.
The Judge politely refused to listen,
saving that it was no affair of his.
Romnel finally decided to join the
Maekmen. What salary he received
no one knows.
However, there is no denying the
fact that Rommel has pitched major
league ball, since the opening Of the
season.
Rommel won six of his first seven
stars and bids fair to have big
season.
sRommel has been pitching the ball
N which he is capable" says Connie.
He should win many q game for

the most promising boys ever deyel-
oped in Phoenix. He has a world OF
speed and is a terrific hitter for
boy of his age and experience. His
two battles against Refeld estab-
lished him in the hearts of local ring
followers and they have been anxious
ly awaiting his return.
Refeld viii prove a mighty tough

fully for several weeks and assures
his admirers that he will be in tiptop

LOOKS LIKE HOT RACE FOR HOME RUN
'H0N0RS IN BIG LEAGUES THIS YEAR

Ken Williams. the spring sensation
Of the American league as home-run
hitter extra aordinary, had best look to
his laurels.
Williams first jumped into fame
by whaling out three home runs IN
one game. He continued his mad
hitting spree for about 10 days, dur
ing which time he piled up 10 home
runs.
At one time those 10 home runs
made his performance stand out
much better than Ruth's 1921 record,
when Babe amassed a total of So. AT
one stage williams had his 10 home
runs a. week in advance of Ruth S
record of last season.
Williams at once was hailed as
Ruth's successor as the home-run
king of 1922. Critics and fans were
united in the opinion that Ruth could
not spot so good a hitter as Williams
six weeks start.
The first nine home runs made by
Williams were on the Browns park
at st. Louis. The club then started
on it's invasion of the east. first
playing a series at Detroit
In Detroit williams raised his to-
tai of homers to 10 by hitting one
into the right field bleachers, which
is a real home-run swat.
In the east Williams has failed to
continue his home-run orgy as the
fans hoped he would.
In four games at Washington he
failed to come through with any
homers. However, the breaks were
against him in that series. Two OF
his drives. which netted only two
bases, failed to clear the right field
wall at washington by scant mar
gin. Either of them would have been
home runs at st. Louis or on the
Polo Grounds.
Coming into Philadelphia Williams
hit one over the right field wall at
Shibe Park and later in New YORK
he scored still another, bringing his
total up to II. In two games at
Boston nothing happened, nor did ne
produce the action that was hoped
from him at New York in the way
of a batting duel with Ruth. In
the Detroit series, Kenny clouted ms
18th homer off Cole, and yesterday
he brought his total up to IA by con-
Meeting for a long one off Schupp OF
the White Sox.
Williams has been In home-run
slump. Probably he has been try
ing too hard to live up to his Ruth
reputation. In the eastern games
Ken was cutting a little too hard at
the ball, with the result that he was
losing some of the accuracy of his
stroke.
Williams, however. Is a natural
hitter and will make many home
run before the close of the present
season.
At the present time Bing Miller of
the Philadelphia Athletics is basking
in the home-run spotlight.
He has IL circuit swats to his
credit and soon hopes to overtake
Williams.
Miller is a right handed hitter who
takes a nasty cut. He was secured
by Mack from the Washington club
in the trade that involved Peckin-
paugh of New York and Dugan OF
the Athletics.
Other hitters who are on the heels
of williams are Hornsby of the ST.
Louis Cardinals with 13, and Walker
of the Athletics with s.
williams is not discouraged at his
slump in the home-run market. He
aims to hit 40 home runs and is con-
fident he will turn the trick. He
thinks such a total will lead the
American league in that department.
