When one considers that Donovan
was pursued by a jinX during the
latter part Of his career, it is rather
remarkable that his optimism never
deserted him.
Twice when managing the New

certain to win, only to have the jinx
assert itself and ruin his chances.

Puzzling Plays
BY Billy Evans

THE PLAY
What constitutes interference by
the batsman when his bat is the
weapon of interference? Must it be
intentional to be penalized?
There is runner on first. The
batsman attempts to sacrifice the
runner to second. His effort is a
bunt down the thirdbase line.
The catcher dashes out to make
a play. As he is about to nick up
the ball and make play on the
runner, the batsman so throws his
bat that it hits the ball, making
it impossible for the catcher to COM
plete the play. The runner on first
went to- third and the batsman
reached first.
When the batsman threw his bat
he had his back to the play and
probably had no intention oe inter-
fering Should that fact receive
any consideration?
What is the proper ruling?
THE INTERPRETATIONS
The batsman should be declared
out for interference.
When his bat cama into contact
with the ball, preventing the catcher
from picking it up and making a
play, he created an interference.
No consideration can be given to
the fact that he had his back to the
play, and had no idea his bat would
prevent a play by the catcher.
If serious consideration was given
to the intent, the umpire would al
ways be in trouble on an interfer-
ence play. The player would in
variably contend there was no in
tent to interfere.
The batsman should have been de-
clared out, and the runner who went
from first tothird sent back to first,
as no runners can advance on such
an interfereYce. Yss

left field in the seventh inning.
Walker made an effort to nip the
ball and argued cloquently when Nal

SHEERLYRANKS'
HIGH AMONG
FIRST SACKERS.
Chicago White Sox Man One
of Best of Fielding
First BaSemen
BY NEA Service.

BY NEA Service.
Chicago, July Is Who is the best
fielding first baseman in the majors!
George Sisler would no doubt be
an almost unanimous reply to such a
question. Others might select Stuffy
McInnis of the Boston Braves. Some
no doubt would favor Charley Grimm
of the .Pittsburg Pirates. - r.
Probably very few would pick Earl
Sheely of the Chicago White Sox.
Yet American League players ali
have a high rating Of Sheely's value
as fielder.
"Sheely is a WONDER" remarked
Stutfy McInnis recently. II doubt if
the value of any player in the Amer
lean League is less appreciated. He
is great target for the infielderssto
throw at. He gathers in with ease
high throws that would 60 for two
bases with the average first Jacket
"On short bound he is anexpert.
Without a doubt he is the best firsl
baseman I've ever seen when it
comes to taking the ball one-handed
when it is thrown directly in the
runners path.
"This l consider the hardest play
in baseball. And Shelly is without
peer at it."
i That's some praise from. so great
fielder as McInnis, the maR> who
in one season made only q. single
error at first base, and that q very
questionable one. 'saI'
While it isn't generally known,
Shelly has not always been a first
tacker. An injury forced the posi-
tion on him. He began his career at
second base. In touching runner
on an attempted steal, he suffered q
broken ankle. It was badly set, and
when the cast was taken off it was
believed that Sheely's days as
player were over.
Shelly refused to give up and
since he could hit the ball, more
stationary position was sought for
him. He tried catching and did
pretty we'll. An injury to the first
J. oaseman on his team caused him to
be shifted to that position. =
There he found himself. He was
with Salt Lake of the Pacific Coast
League at the time.
Despite his bad ankle, which
slowed him up, the Chicago White
Sox made a deal for him because he
could hit and field. He has proved .
most valuable man for the ,Sox.
Few players would have come back
after the mistake the surgeons had
made in setting the bad break he
suffered. So when prone to criticize
Shelley for his lact Of speed, glance
at the. bad left ankle, and, think Of
the, courage required to overcome
such physical handicap.

Friday at the local ball park, the
management announced today. Ladies
will b. admitted free to the Valley
City-Eismarck game ut 6:l5 p. m.
Friday of this week.
Valley City began siX-gamc series
with the locals last night.
The Bismarck battcrs enjoyed one
of those days SO sweet to the play
CT whose eye is on the next publica-
ton of the hitting averagcs-.for they
slammed out 10 hits in the game with
Valley City ut the local ball park last
night, all but one Of the 10 players
the locals had in the game hitting
safely once or more times.
1t was a homecoming for the local
team, after Il series in Valley City,
and although the management had
failed to advertise the series put in
under a new schedule more than Il
few hours in advance, the local play
ers had a warm reception prepared
for the visitors, and the fans that
were there were with them on the
committee.
1t might not have been bad game
if Ramage, the visitors short stop
hadn't hurt leg, which caused a
shift in the lineup. Errors in the
first inning put Wagner, who started
pitching for Valley City, in hot wa
ter, and the locals followed this with
hits. Cantin relieved him in the
third but the locals garnered five
hits before man was put out and
Manager Schanlaub of the visitors,
regular first baseman, playing short
Bismarck only got two runs off his
weak curves, but then they were tir
ed out by this time.
Joe Day started pitching for Bis
marck sand was going in good shape.
Charley Boardman got the only hit
off him in three innings. After Bis
marck had piled up a big lead, Shan
ley called AL Bcrnlcr to the box and
let Day go home and rest. 1t also
gave Bernier q chance to try his
shoots. Two years ago, as pitcher
and outfielder, he won nine games
and lost six with the Mitchell club
of the Dakota League but he's been
shining in the field and at bat in
stead of the box this year.
Valleys two runs came in the sixth.
Kennedy and LAUDER hit safely and
Schanlaub scored them with a two
base drive.
Starting the game for Bismarck,
Newt Randall went out, second to
first. Dougan hit safely and was
forced by Stanley, short to second.
Bcrnier walked. Stanley and Bernier
executed double steal and catcher
Wallin, throwing to catch Stanley,
put the ball in left-ficld, Stanley
scoring. Reider hit safely and scor-
ed Bernier, took second when Valley
fielders failed to get Zimmerman S
man scored when Kennedy fumbled
Condon's grounder and then threw
over first.
The slaughter came in the third
Bernier started the inning with g
hit. Reider sacrificed and the Val
ley players balled the play, he reach.
ing first. Zimmerman walked. Con.
don, Fart, Day, Dougan, Stanley
Reider and Zimmerman hit safely
with one out and base on balls
mixed in. When the dust had rolleC
away Bismarck had 10 runs, and hac
made nine hits.
The two teams play again today
Throckmorton or Taylor have the cal
to pitch for Bismarck, while Charley
Boardman may get in the box for the
visitors. The game is called at 6:1!
