In summer.
Second-Banks of streams shouio
hear trees or tall shrubs to PROVIDE

Third-Remember that in a man

cities - sewage, mill and other
refuse pours into many OF our
streams. 1t is useless TO put trout
in such waters.
Fourth-The best places for plant
ing are the rivulets and spring feed
ers. The trout will work their way
into the larger streams as they grow.
FIfth-Rearing pools or the

BILLY EVANS SAYS

1t has been my good fortune TO
witness triple and double plays I'M
assisted. Likewise I have seen dou-
BILE plays made in many freak ways.
i once saw Derrili Pratt of the
New York club literally drop kick
a double play. He overran h 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.

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 to a 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 10 nrst
retired the batsman.
1t was a freak double play IL there
ever was n I will never forget It
However. in a game at Philadel-
phia recently, I saw a perfectly exc
cuted 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 its unusual features.
Detroit was the opposing team.
Lu Blue. the feet first sacker OF the
Tigers, had reached the initial sack.
Cobb was at the bat. He flashed the
hit and run sign. and Blue was on
with the pitch.
Cobb dashed a sizzling grounder
between second and first. which Doc
Johnston. playing first for the Attn
letics, barely grazed. II slowed the
ball up a trife, however, n de-
Elected it in the direction OF Pep
Young at second. Now for the biz
