There is a runner on second, and
two strikes and three balls on the
batter. on the pitch the runner on
second starts to steal third. The
batsman swings at the bagl and
misses II. The pitch is close and
inside. The ball ticks the shirt OF
the batsman as it whizzes by. The
catcher catches the bail and throws
the runner out at third. There is
one out at the time. Does that COM
plete a double play and retire the
side?
When a pitch at which the batter
swings and misses comes into con-
tact with the person OF the batsman
the ball becomes dead. In the case
cited II. was the third strike. retir-
ing the batsman. However, when
the ball licked the shirt OF the bat
ter after he had swung and missed,
the ball became dead. No bases can
be run on such a play. Therefore
the runner thrown out trying to
steal third should be sent back to
second. II was not a double play

OF all the photographs Of this dis
tinguished man, we have never seen
one that was not thoughtful, stern, in
some cases even severe. In contrast
to his pictures, his friends say he is
one Of the most genial of men, with
a wonderful smile that is more habit
ual than any other expression.
His writings exhibit fine thought,
but certainly they are never gloomy;
indeed they abound in the choicest
humor. The greatest comedians sell
dom smile when at work, and Tar
kingdoms pictured poses convey the
impression that being funny is seri-
Gus business.
Every story he writes is different
from every other story, and there
are more facets to his genius than
to a diamond. Twice since 1919 he
has won the Pulitzer prize for the
best novel of the year. Indiana,
famous for celebrities, proclaims him
her favorite son.
The most delightful Christmas
story that has come out in years is
his "Beasley's Christmas Partv"
which will be printed serially in
