Albany. April 2s.--Comulissioner Landis yesterday continued his war on baseball pools and pleaded with the mayors of i've cities for cooperation to stamp out what he termed an evil. Judge Landis came here for the open- ing of the Eastern League when AL bany played Waterbury.

 Great Exhibition Last Year
 Playing a lone hand in the British amateur of 1920, Gardner gave one of the most courageous exhibitions of his career in storming his way to the final round against Cyril Tolley. Three down at the 32nd hole, the American squared the match on the 36th. He drove the green on the 275 yard 37th and lay six feet from the pin. The Englishman also drove "carpet" 12 feet from the cup. Tol- ley sank his putt for a birdie" two and victory, while Gardner's ball stopped an inch away.
 Gardner. however. earned the dis tinction of being the only American to reach the final of the British title event since Travis triumphed in 1904.

Questions

One-Is it possible to make a sub stitution for base runner, and still have the original player remain in the game?
 Two---In case of rain or muddy field who is the sole judge as to whether or not the game should be started?
 Three-In case game is stopped by the umpire, because of rain, is there any time limit as to when the i game can be resumed? Four--What happens when the bat ter strikes at an illegally pitched ball ?
 Five--Is it necessary that the team at the bat make an appeal for the calling of balk? Answers One--Only by consent of the cap- tain of the other team. Two-The manager or captain of the home team is the sole judge as | to the fitness of the field for starting play.
 Three--The time limit form erly was B minutes. Now under the new rul- ing the umpire can wait as long as he sees fit.
 fOuT-lI COuIllS lOT SLTlh0 or whatever may follow.
 Five--A balk rests entirely with the judgment of the umpire. There is no necessity or reason for an ap- peal. although the team at bat often raises the claim.
