and there have been some hitters who
could place hits for Texas leaguers.
1t would be manifestly unjust to
punish them by trying to figure that
such a fly should be caught.
1t may be extremely annoying to
the scorer to see one Of his home
team become mixed up on one Of
these bona fde or near Texas
leaguers, and he may feel 50 indig-
nant that he would like to punish
some player for not catching the ball.

game on the theory by which he thinks
1t should be played. but as a mat
ter of record. When there Is any
confusion on the part of the fielders
as described he is not to be permitted
to say that this or the other fielder
should be charged with a fielding
error because he made a mistake in
the head"
For quite some time there was q
disposition on the part OF scorers in
some cities to put plays down as
they thought they should have been

IN 1921 the Sox finished seventh In
the race. No one expected anything
better than that. 1t was a wonder
they kept out Of eighth position. but
the reliable Connie Mack and his Ath-
letics saw to that. In 1922 the Sox
were within an ace of finishing in the
first division, but one OF those last
game spurts on the part or the CleVe-
land Indians relegated the Chicago
club to leadership of the second divi-
sion. Even so. the showing of the

New Talent Abundant.
New talent has come TO the Sox in
greater numbers this year than In a

months ago when he bought Wine
Kamm. the crack third sacker OF the
San Francisco club in the Pacihc

seen the dark Celtic lad work at the
hot corner, but Willie soon dispelled
any doubt as to his ability when he
donned a uniform. pulled on his glove
and went to work at Seguin. kamm

It Is apparent that Danny Long. the

Kamm to affix his name to a contract.

and created one sensation after an

SheeIy a Smart Player.
Earl Sheely, acquired from the Salt

thrown balls in the American League

him invaluable to the Sox. The Sox

When this happens there are times
that 1t is the fault or the player CIV
ing the signals. 1t is very dangerous
for men to run together in the out
held. and when they see that there is
danger of collision many times the
ball Is permitted to drop to the
ground rather than take a chance OF
a broken leg or split head.
Most young scorers are prone TO
put this down as an error on the part
Of fielder and then they are pug
zled as to which fielder should be
charged with the error. They want to
give II to the shortstop II IT looks as
if he could have got the ball, or to
the left fielder IL the ball went far
ther out than the limit of the infleld.
The play should be scored as base
hit. and not as an error, and II the
batter actually can run 1t our and
make two bases on IL he should be
given two bases. That has happened
under unusual conditions when the
ball bounded badly and to one side.
1t is quite true that many such flies
should be caught and could be caught
II a mix-up in signals did not happen.
It Is not always because OF a mix-up
that the players fail to get the ball,
as high wind may take II away from
q player just when 1t seems as if
he is bound to reach it 1t also Is
true that a fielder will misjudge such
a hit, and misjudge 1t badly. because
the wind has twisted the bail around
while the fielder was trying to
gauge 1t.
No matter what may have happened
the short fly which is the equivalent
of g. Texas Lacquer should be entered
in the score as base hit
A sun hit Is the same thing. II the
folder runs squarely into the sun as
he is trying to catch the ball he loses
sight of 1t and he is not to be pun
ished for some natural cause which
he could not avoid.
