Pratt has since passed from the
Yankee lineup. Eddie Plank never
reported to New York, retiring from
the game. Shocker is today one OF

Allowed to Drift.
Shocker. pitching prize with To-
ronto in 1916, was allowed to drift
from the Yankees year later. Since
departing he has won gobs of glory.
Certainly there is no smarter pitcher
in baseball.
The star Of the Browns staff is
master of the spitball, one of the
the remaining curvers to rely on
the damp delivery. He has every
thing else in his repetoire.
Shocker is a master strategist. He
makes careful study of every bat
ter, learns their weakness and then
pitches to it. Always the possessor
OF uncanny control, he works the
corners rarely cutting the heart of
the plate.
The Yankees certainly missed a
pitcher Of Shocker's type in. the
clash with the Giants. The star of
the Browns pitching staff is at his
best in the pinch.

PEOPLES FORUM /

Editor The Tribune:
With reference to House Rill ~

an acre to one cent, would ask the
Legislature and others to consider
| carefully the significance of such q
step at this time.
considered in connection with the
many complaints Ind the criticism
so frequently and justly made that
the-State Hail Insurance was of
doubtful benefit as long as 1t could
not pay its losses within reasonable
time, forcing the farmers to dispdse
OF their warrants at discount, it
seems hard. to believe that an at.
tack should be made now to prevent
or at least retard the upbuilding of
the fund which would remedy the
very defect complained of.
Insurance journals and even some
OF the Insurance Commissioners of
other states have had for their
sport to shoot darts of ridicule and
criticism at our attempt to- furnish
hail protection without paying our
losses until year or two after
they occur-if at all oetc., as thew
put it.
And now that We are in a good
way to overcome that condition
someone is ready to apply the axe.
1t is argued that we do not need
this fund now, that the hail war
rants can be sold at such a rea-
sonable discount. This is no areu.
ment since it is evident that the
concerns bidding for this business
consider it profitable investment.
Why should not the state fund
make this profit, when it is in the
business anyway?
1t should be borne in mind that
this tax has dual purpose. first
to raise fund large enough to in
sure prompt payment of losses and
secondly to make nonresident spe-
culative landholders contribute in
some measure to the welfare of the
state IN return for the unearned
increment they enjoy on their hold.

citizens. To accomplish this the |
Legislature of 1921 amended the law
by setting aside, in a permanent
fund, the three cent flat tax for tho
years 1921 to '25 inclusive, then to |
automatically cease. 1t is estimated
that by that time there should b |
established fund OF. between four |
and five million dollars, just large
enough to cover any average loss
year.
Another point in favor Of such a
fund is that the interest accruinp
on daily balances would 20 long
way toward paying the operating
expenses of the Department. Just r
how anyone can oppose the present
arrangement and at the same time
claim to be working fof the best in
terests OF the farmers of our state
is hard to understand. Il

Insurance Commissioners.

Mistakes are a part of baseball.
The players make them on the ball
field.
The club owners and managers
make them in the seclusion Of their
! Offices.
During the last two years the
owners of the New York Americans
have made a number of big deals
of star players. Price has been no
obstacle if it was believed the PLAYER
would help the club.
Babe Ruth, Carl Mays, Wally
Schang, Joe Dugan, Waite Hoyt, Joe
Bush and Everett Scott are just a
few Of the stars purchased by the
Rankees. These players have played
prominent part in the success of
the club.
No player in baseball has placed
more obstacles in the winning ways
of the Yankees than Pitcher Urban
Shocker of the St. Louis Browns. To
make matters worse Shocker was
once member Of the New York
team.
Not on the Field.
The passing of Shocker from the
Yankees to the Browns was one of
the errors not made on the ball field
by the New York Americans.

BULLSEYES OF
BASEBALL
By BILLY EVENS
The Most Unusual Play l Ever Sa'

The Most Unusual Play l Ever Saw
! Ray Schalk is one of the greatest
catchers the game ever produced
{ largely because he does other things
J aside from the mere giving of sig
nails, catching and throwing the ball
Ray Schalk is thinker. There
is a reason for everything he does
on the ball field. He gives thought
to every ball pitched. He is con-
stantly looking over the playing
field to see that infielders and cut
fielders shift properly for tnc style
of pitch he signaled for.
When Hal Chase was playing first
base for the Chicago White SoX, he
and Schalk pulled many Ii remark
able play. While Schalk featured
two of the most unusual plays l ever
saw a catcher make, assistance from
Chase played a prominent part.
One Of the plays was the result Of
fast thinking on the part of Schaik,
and a perfectly timed THROW by
Chase. TIE other play was the re-
suit of plan that Schalk and Chase
had worked out. .
Ray Schalk is the only catcher !
ever saw get a putout at third base
on throw from the first baseman.
The only catcher to get a putout at
first base on throw from an out
fielder. AS to the play at THIRD:
With visiting runner on first
base and on one out, the batsman
laid down bunt, which both the
third baseman and pitcher went
after. The pitcher handled the bunt,
getting the runner at first base on a
close play. The third baseman, in
order to get out of the pitchers way
IN fielding the ball, had purposely
fallen to the ground.
The base runner originally on first
very fast man noticed that
third base was uncovered as he
rounded second base. He decided to
try for third. Ray Schalk had
OWNED the intention of the base run
ner before he reached second, and
had raced down to third base from
his position back of the plate.
Hal Chase had also sized up rhe
situation. He held his throw until
Schalk was able to get into position
to receive it. Then he made a fast.
accurate throw to third. Schalk re-
rceived the throw fraction of a
SECOND ahead of the runner and
managed to get the ball on him by
making a dive for the runner as he
started his hook-slide into the base.
It was most remarkable play
because it required quick thinking
on Schalk's part, and even faster
execution for him to reach third
ahead of the runner. To complete
the play it required a perfect throw
by Chase.
On the other play, it seems Schalk
and Chase agreed that when a bats.
man singled to right field with no
one out, Chase would continue to
play deep first base and nav M
attention to the runner. This was to,I
cause the runner to round first and
take big lead toward second in case
the ball was fumbled.
Schalk's part Of the play was to !
rush to first just behind the runner.
1t was the duty Of the right fielder TO !
make snap throw to Schalk. in |
order that he might get the runner |
II he tried to get back to first. or he |
IN position for a throw to second |
m case the runner decided to ad- |
vance.
The play was tried perhaps q score
OF times but only was completed
once. Yet, as after events proved.
7 saved the ball game.

wonder who Ogden is.

SHOOTING PAR IS TOUGH JOB


Knowing that you must shoot par
or better in order to win, is the most
difficult thing in all sportdom, ac-
cording to professional golfers.
Shooting par is touch job with
nothing at stake, but when such q
feat is necessary to win a champ
ionsnip, it is the toughest job in
all the world, say the leading golf
ers.
This feature Of paly was brought
out in the national open last year
which was won by Gene Sarazen. 50
After Sarazen had finished With
the low score of the tournament, 'the
word was passed that the veteran
John Black, had an excellent chance
to beat him. Sarazen simply SMILED
and replied. -
II have already, made my low
score"
The logic of Sarazen's remark
was proved when Black, who seemed
certain to beat him out, just failed
of the mark.
