Talk by Manager Of lettering
Giants Seems to Have a
Good Effect

Chicago, July 1O.-Report of seri-
Gus talk by Manager McGraw to his
tottering Giants on Sunday after
their second defeat by Cincinnati
bore the fruit Of victory yesterday.
Though the PITCHING efforts of Art
Nehf were in vain and the defense
was ragged in spots, the New York
ers answered the words of their lead
crs individually when they came to
bat against CINCINNATI. Kelley,
Frisch, said it with homers and the
team as whole drove in enough
runs to bury the wcsterners, Ii to 6.
With only the two Chicago teams
to uphold the part of the western
clubs in the victory column the east
ern teams in both the American and
National League won the majority of
victories in the inter-sectional class
es.
The Yankees, at St. Louis, contin-
ued their victorious romp, winning,
8 to 3. Boston took the measure OF
the Cleveland Americans, to l,
while Philadelphia trounced Detroit,
6 to 5. The Chicago Nationals were
victorious at Boston, to 1, while
the Chicago Americans pushed Wash
ington further back in the second d.
vision by winning, to 1. John
"Shano" Collins, former favorite of
the Chicago White Sox and now a
member Of the Boston Red Sox, will
not be able to, play for several days.
Collins was hit by pitched ball in
Sundays game at Cleveland.

Pirate Swat King
Was Overrated,
DOpesters Fear
BY NEA Service

BY NEA Service
Pittsburg, July 10.-What's the
matter with "Reb" Russell?
Have National League pitchers
made good on their vow to check
the stellar batting of the Pirate
star?
These are questions which are be-
ing vehemently discussed in base
ball circles these days. And rightly,
too, for Russell, one of balloons
sensations of 1922, seems to have
"flivvcred."
Mayhap it is only temporary
slump, and it is quite possible that
when the hot summer days arrive,
the former American Association
celebrity will again cast fear into
the hearts of opposing hurlers. But
to date, Russell, counted upon to
keep the Pittsburgh gang in the race,
has been a big disappointment.
Last season, in GO games, "Reb''
cracked the pill for 1853 average
many of his blows being good for
extra bases. He busted out an even
dozen home runs, splendid per
centage for less than halfseason's
work.
This year, though, the tale has
been different, and Russell hasn't
hit, the size of his bat having fallen
below the 200 mark. And that's
why critics are, beginning to wonder
if the former White Sox hurlcl
wasn't just flash, in the pan-ar
overrated star.

Stop Work On
Heart River Dam

Work on the Heart River dam has
been abandoned. This decision was
reached at meeting of the Park
board held yesterday. Supervisor j..
A. Hedlund has been engaged to sal
wage such materials as he could
from the coffcrdam.
While it has not been decided to
blow out the part of the dam which,
has withstood the waters up to the
present time, it has been decided to
remove the cofferdam part of the
project and the north abutment of
the structure will be used to rip-rap
the cut to protect the county bridge.
For the past week members of the
park board have been undecided
what action to take, the members
differing. At the. meeting the four
members of the board present, Black,
Gill, Miss Richie and Mrs. Simpson
voted to discontinue all work on. the
dam for the year. The cost of COM
plotting the work of repair would be
about $4,000, about $1,000 having al
ready been spent in pulling steel
piling.
Miss Anna Stcgner who for the
past week has been visiting with her
sister, Mrs. Frank Bingenhcimcr of
Thinner, left yesterday for Seattle.
From there she will sail for the Phil
lippine Islands to join her brother.

tieth season.
1t was in 1902 that Becker, just
out of military school at Lexlng-
ton, Mo-, reported to the Oklahoma
City club in the Western League.
For five years he pitched and then
became an outtield fixture.
He went from Oklahoma City to
Little Rock, Ark, and thence to
Wichita, kas. 1t was there that he
was shifted from the mound to the
outtield. Jack Holland was the man
ager who picked him for an out
fielder.
In 1907 Becker was purchased by
the Pittsburgh club and from there
he went to the New York Giants for
three seasons.
Becker shared in the world series
money in 1911 and 1912. From the
Giants he drifted to Cincinnati and
in 1916 went to the American Asso-
citation in Kansas City.

Puzzling Plays
BY Billy Evans

THE PLAY
Two teams agree on ground rule
that on any overthrow of first or
third base, runners shall be entitled
to one additional base, if the ball
went into the crowd that fringed
the playing field. If the ball did
not 20 into the crowd runners had
the right to advance at their peril.
A number of automobiles were park
ed around the field in addition to
the crowd.
In the eighth inning, the driver
of an auto desiring to get away
before the finish, drove his machine
in front of the crowd that was seat.
ed back Of first base. While SO do
ing an overthrow of first base that
would have easily gone into the
crowd, struck the machine and
bounded back into the direction of
first base.
The runner, believing that the
ball would certainly 60 into the
crowd, took his time about going
to second. The first baseman re-
covered the ball, threw to second,
where the runner was touched out.
The team in the field maintained
the hall did not go into the crowd
as agreed upon and was actually in
play. The team at bat insisted that
the passing machine alone prevented
it from so doing.
What is the proper ruling on the
play?
THE INTERPRETATION
While the ball did not actually go
into the crowd, the umpire should
have SO ruled. The passing auto
alone prevented it from so doing.
The moment the ball struck the ma
chine the umpire should have ruled
the ball dead and permitted each
runner to advance a base. Had the
ball lodged, in some part Of the ma
chine and been carried away, the
same ruling should have been made.
That Is merely common sense.

Modern Legislation
10 Stop Blindness
Needed Says Carris

New York, Jan. 4.-The need for
more modern legislation dealing with
the prevention of blindness and the
| conservation of vision, and for a
greater number of state and local or
CARNATIONS devoted to these causes.
is emphasized in the annual report Of
Lewis H. Carris. field secretary of the
National Committee For the Proven
ton of Blindness, made public today
at the headquarters Of the committee
in this city.
Mr.. Carris' findings are based on
a survey of the blindness situation in
the eastern half Of the United States
conducted during the past year. Spe-
cial attention was given to conditions
in Indiana, Illinois. Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama and
New. York, in which states the Ma
tional Committee .co-operated with To-
cal agencies in conducting educational
campaigns.
'The most effective work for the
prevention of blindness and for the
conservation of vision" Mr.. Carris'
report says, "can be accomplished
through the aggressive work Of state
and local organizations. There should
be volunteer organization for the
prevention of blindness in every state
and territory and such organizations
should be closely affiliated with the
National Committee. A survey of the
field shows that California, Kentucky,
Illinois and New York are at present
the only states having volunteer or
CARNATIONS for the prevention Of
blindness. though number Of other
states have associations for the blind
doing some preventive work."
Declaring 1T is apparent that a very
considerable part of the activities for
the prevention of blindness must ulti-
mately become governmental, and in
consequence there must be basic state
legislation providing for such action"
the report of the National Committee
calls attention to the need for the fol-
indirect preventive legislation, school
medical inspection laws, laws provid-
ing for the establishment of conserva-
ton Of vision classes. factory laws
providing for the safeguarding of
vision. laws governing the sale Of
wood alcohol and laws governing the
practice of midwives.
In the field of direct preventive
legislation. laws for the prevention Of
babies eye disease commonly called
ophthalmia moratorium: laws pro-
Viding for the control and elimination
OF trachoma and other conta gious eve
diseases. and laws providing for the
establishment of state commissions
with authority and appropriations for
work In the field of prevention, such
authority. usually being given to q
state commission for the blind.
