Chicago, Sept. 4.-The trick bat is
taboo in the American League. Babe
Ruth's four-piece bat which started
all the agitation over the trick bats
has extended to many other quarters.
Ruth believed that his bat would
pass inspection since it is made of
hard wood, round, and within the
proper dimensions.
The rules says the bat to be official
must be made Of wood, which Is
singular and not sections of wood.
Ruth's bat is plural, made Of four
separate pieces glued together. 1t
has been decreed that it will not pass
muster in the American League.
That's final.
With Ruth's four-piece bat goes
the plugged bat This style bat is
used by Kenneth Williams, slugger
Of the st. Louis Browns, as we'll as
many other crack hitters in both
major leagues.
Desiring to get bat as large as
possible at the desired point of con-
tact, players have been having the
bat factories make their bats to the
desired dimensions. Such bats usual
ly are trife too heavy.
In order to get them to the re-
CURED weight, hole is drilled in the

;center of the bat, removing as much
of the wood as necessary to get the
stick to weight that best suits the
batter. The bat is then plugged with
a piece of wood or cork.
The plugging Of q bat makes it
possible for player to get much
larger bat without being handicapped
by the extra weight.
Several years ago, filling the bats
with small nails was s popular pas
time with the ball plaers. One
player in order to get more drive
into his bat drove about 100 steel VIC
trola needles into his bat within a
certain limited space. regarded as
the best possible point of contact on
the bat, when properly held.
The Ruth bat has started q war on
trick bats in the major leagues. From
now on all bats in the American
League must be round, of one piece,
of hard wood and conform to the re-
CURED dimensions. The use Of any
bat that fails to come within the
rules, will automatically suspend a
player for five days without pay.
Since great many National
League players have been using four
section bats like that of Ruth, also
the plugged variety of the Williams
type, similar action will no doubt be
taken as to the trick weapons.

Billy Evans Says

WHAT is the greatest asset for a
young pitcher just breaking into the
major leagues?" / put that question
TO Jack Ryan, veteran backstop, now
dong duty as coach to the Boston
American League pitching staff.
THAT'S an easy one" replied
Ryan. Control, of course. Control
is not only the greatest asset that
recruit could possibly possess, but
1t is equally valuable to a veteran
star. No matter how much stuff a
pitcher has, it isn't worth penny to
him it he can't get the ball over the
plate. Any pitcher who can get the
ball over the plate, thereby forcing
the opposition to hit their way on.
always has chance to win"
THAT afternoon the Chicago club
sent recruit pitcher by the name of
CLEARWATER against the Boston Red
Sox. I wondered how he would make
out. Remembering what Ryan had
said about control. I decided to put
his theory to the acid test.
CLEARWATER is q right-handed
pitcher. He is side-arm twirler
and starts his ball rather low. II
was evident that his peculiar delivery
would be to his advantage, as his
styie differs from the majority Of
Pitchers. Clearwater delivers the
bail much after the manner of Ho-
waTd Ehmke, who it SO happened was
the Boston Red Sox pitcher that day.

THE INTERPRETATION
When the runner on first failed to
touch second base while advancing
to third, he made a force play pos
sible at second. When the ball was
thrown there and the umpire ruled
the runner out, it made force play
for a third out.
The rules state that no run can
score on play in which the third

On August 20, Governor McMaster,
OF South Dakota, issued the following
statement
AT a meeting with Colonel Stewart,
Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
and other Standard Oil Officials, held in
Pierre this morning, MIR. Stewart ex-
pressed unquaifedly the willingness of
Standard Oil to comply with the wishes
OF the consumers of the State of South
Dakota in so far as those wishes could
be expressed and Interpreted by the
governor of this state. These Standard
officials, although they contend that the
present prices do not properly reflect
the costs Of production, refining and dis
tr!butlon, plus reasonable profit, were
willing, at my request, to do one of two
things raise the price of gasoline imme-
diately in the State of South Dakota
where it would represent six and six
tenths cent reduction over former prices
or maintain, for the time being, sixteen
cent gasoline in the State of South
Dakota, using Mitchell as base.
latter due consideration, the Standard
Oil officials were asked by the governor
to maintain the present price of Is cents
tor the time being. / wish to accept full
responsibility for this situation and state
that Standard Oil, by deed and act. is
working in fullest cooperation with the
governor of this state and therefore can
in no respect be blamed for 16 cents
gasoline from this date.
Il realize that the independents who
have viciously assailed and attacked me
will raise bitter complaint against this
condition. However, after due con-
slderatlon and investigation, l wish to
say that If the former gasoline prices of
TINS state were excessive, the indepen-
dents OF this state were just as respons-
IDLE for that condition and were Just as
guilty of taking excess profits as was
Standard Oil.
AT no time during the period which
former gasoline prices prevailed did any
independent OF this state raise one objec-
ton or bring one complaint to this office
in an effort to bring about any reduction
in price but they were perfectly willing
to profit to the. fullest extent. y
Il realize that all sorts of charges will
be made against me because of this &C.
ton, but in view of the fact that gasoline
can be purchased at various refneries
today tor approximately seven cents a
gallon, it will not work injury to the
public cause if the Independents are
forced for the time being to do business
on a small margin of profit. There is no
particular reason whythe State Govern
ment should guarantee to the Independ-
ent Oh Dealers of this state, at least for
the time being, fixed profits, especially in
view of the fact that they were perfectly
willing and were d party to take ex-
cessive profits from the people"
This clearly defines the position
which the Standard Oil Company Ind
lanai has maintained throughout this
controversy.

various kinds of animals which inter-

one TO make any presiding genius of

There are bears which mistake the
humming of wires for the contented
song of a hive of bees and which
climb the pole to rob the imaginary
insects of their store of honey; there
are squirrels which chew holes in the
leadsheath of cables, for no reason in
particular there are ants and beetles
equally "metalivorous"; there are
spiders which fling their webs across
a pair of open wires, thus causing
