Last Day for Voting.

Today was the last for the NIL 81
to vote on the strike issue, and re-
ports received at union headquarters
here indicated an overwhelming ma.
jority favoring a walkout unless a new
wage contract is signed by April /.
This vote. however, was not regarded
as necessarily final, for the conyen-
tion in creating the policy committee
gave it broad power, declaring that
the committee lis authorized to take
such action for the protection of our
best interests as circumstances may
require, and to advise the union mem.

DanfOrth Has
Usual !. a Debut
Allows Few Hits, Is Wild,
Strikes Out Many

.a
Dave Danforth, who is expected to
make the Browns a strong pennant
contender if he delivers, made his
major league debut against Chicago BY
pitching one Of his characteristic
games.
St. Louis won, 4 to ?. sDanforth al.
lowed only seven hits. but he was
wild, giving nine bases on balls. How.
ever, when he got the ball over he was
very effective, striking out seven men.
The victory must have been very
pleasing to anforth as it was the Chi
cago club that sent him to the minors.
Knowing his habit of being wild the
Chicago club waited Danforth out to
the limit. This, coupled with the fact
that he was probably nervous and
over.anxious, no doubt had tendency
to throw him off his stride.
Danforth has wicked fast ball that
is hard to hit. Opposing players con.
stantly accuse him of ioctoring the
ball to get the break on the fast one.

Bunt Is Due For
Comeback
Passing Of Lively Ball Will
Change Style Of Play

. & To- . r
The bunt in baseball is due to come
back
The season Of 1922 is certain to see
q revival Of the bunt as an offensive
weapon.
The lively ball and a desire to
emulate the deeds of Babe Ruth has
crowded the bunt off the baseball map
for several years.
The hunt is a one run play. It
means much to get a one-run advan-
tage under the ordinary conditions,
For several years, however, one run
has meant nothing in the life OF, a
ball team 5"si
The lively ball always opened up
possibilities for getting runs in clus-
ters. For that reason most teams
kissed the bunt goodby, placed it Sc
curely away with the moth balls.
With a less lively ball and better
pitching the bunt is sure to return
to popular favor during the 1922 sea-
son. ~ -' -a
It's q grea method to put the opposi-
tion in the air, throw pitcher off his
stride, one of baseball's most danger
GUS weapons on offense.

QUERIES
OF All Sort About Sport

.4N
+ What is your opinion Of the new
football rule which eliminated the goal
after touchdown and substituted a
scrimmage play on the five-yard line
The goal after touchdown play has
never appealed to me, therefore its
illumination was pleased.
The goal after touchdown was not a
difficult play and there was little of
the element Of uncertainty about it.
Like the foul rule in basketball, it
called for the development of q spe-
cialist The element of teamwork in
no way entered into the play.
Eleven men assist in making a
touchdown, and the goal after touch
down is put up to one man. The new
rule putting the ball into play from
scrimmage opens UP possibilities for
the entire team to swing into action.
Certainly it should contain the ele-
ment Of surprise, and that is always
interesting.
Those who condemn the play should
wait until it is tried out. Progress is
never made by standing still, and foot.
ball as game is not so perfect that
it cannot DE improved.

Two Players On Club Are
Wealthy Bank Pres
idents

Most Of the experts have figured
the Philadelphia Nationals as certain
to finish in last place.
Possibly the Phillies will fall to
that lowly position and mako the ex-
perts look good. Even if such Is the
case the Phillies have, a claim to dis
tinction.
On the club this year are two
small l-town bank presidents, Fred
"Cy" Williams and Arthur P: Flet-
cher. Fletcher has been out of the
game for a year looking after his bus
mess interests. This season he was
prevailed upon to return and help out
the Phillies. E.s
Cy Williams is a Notre Dame grad
,uate and a mighty fine ball player.
He is certain to be equally successful
in business.
Williams is president of q bank at
Three Lakes, Wis, and also Is heav-
lily interested in Florida real estate.
Playing ball this summer is more
or less of a vacation for both.
