not important enough to call a special
Joint session of the major league COM
mlttees to frame a rule to cover the
play because it probably never will
happen again. Still you never can tell,
and just for the sake of satisfying q
nations curiosity it might be fitting for
the rule cobblers to make a shoe to fit
this odd sized extremity next winter.
Four Frequently Retired
Four men have been retired in a half
inning before frequently, as everybody
knows who has seen a team go hrough
the motions of completing a double
play" after two were out already. Oc-
~casionally four outs have been made
in a half inning, and it has never been
discovered outside the press box. But
in all such cases the additional out has
been made on the bases. where it could
not affect the batting order. Some
times only two men have been retired
in a half inning, but without affecting
the next batsman.
An Illustration occurred in Philadel-
phia as long ago as when the late Harry
Steinfeldt was with the Cubs. Chances
men had the game cinched and were
hurrying through the ninth inning tc
catch a train. They had the bases full,
with one out. Steinfeldt was on first
and was forced out at second when the
next batsman hit ID to short. In at
tempting a double play the second
baseman threw over first base against
the stand. The two Cubs ahead of
scored and SteinfeIdt kept
right on running for the plate. Brans-
field recovered the ball in time to
throw home. where Steinfeldt was
waved him out and the Cubs went
the field for the final half. Just
if Steinfeldt had not been put out
twice.
They caught the train and it didn't

PRECEDENCE
OF MEASURES
Question of Whether Farm
or Ship Bill Shall Have
Right of Way.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Administra-
ton leaders in the senate today faced
a battle to keep the shipping bill be-
fore that body.
Pending before the senate when it
convened after an over Sunday re-
cess was the motion made Saturday
by Chairman Norris of the Agriculture
committee to lay aside the shipping
measure and to take up his bill de-
signed to relieve agricultural distress
through creation Of a government
capitalized corporation by buy and
sell farm products.
The motion will be opposed by
Chairman Jones of the commerce
committee in charge Of the shipping
bill, and others who have been most
earnest in support Of that measure,
and will be pressed by foes of the
shipping bill including the almost
solid Dem ocratic membership, by the
progressive Republican group, and by
others who believe that action should
be taken without delay in the matter
Of agricultural. belief.
Both Sides Confident.
Both sides in the impending battle
said Sunday they were confident OF
success. Those supporting the move
to lay aside the shipping bill and be-
gin consideration Of the Norris meas-
ure said they would have at least halt
"a dozen more than a majority. Those
opposing the move said they had made
no poll but were certain Of enough
votes to prevent substitution Of any
agricultural relief not. having a con.
siderable unanimtty of support, which
they assert the Norris bill does no,
have.
Meanwhile the senate; banking com.
mittee will continue with its hearings
and study of the various rural credit
bills. Its members hope to conclude
the hearings Wednesday,
