Puzzling Plays

THE PLAY.
Ground rules involving overthrows
into the crowd often make trouble.
In major league game this sum-
mer the usual rule of two bases on
a ball thrown into the crowd that
surrounded the field Of play was in
vogue.
With runner on first base, the hit
and run play was flashed. The run
ner on first, very fast man, was
off with the pitch. The batsman hit
sharp drive to the left Of the
shortstop on which he made a great
play. .-4ev!
The shortstop elected to try for
a force play at second base, but the
runner from first beat the play and
was declared safe by the umpire.
The second baseman, who had COW
cred the bag, then wheeled in the
direction of first and made wild
peg to that base, the ball going into
the crowd. When the throw was
started the batsman was perhaps 20
feet fro mthe base and good throw
would have retired him.
What about the advancement Of
the runners? Is the runner on first
entitled to third or should he be
nermitted to score? What about the

Johnsons batting prowess.
Since joining the Yankees, john
son has had little chance to show in
the field, because Scott seems cap
able OF going on forever. 1t is at
bat that Johnson has starred.
When speaking OF pinch hitters
extraordinary, don't overlook Ernie
Johnson. In that most difficult de.
partment Of the game he has been
the outstanding figures of the season.
Johnson's debut in New York was
most auspicious. Sent in as pinch
hitter, he drove the first ball pitcheo
into the right field bleachers for a
home run.
Since that time, in Is trips to the
plate, Johnson has hit safely II
Zines. In that collection of hits are
numbered singles, doubles, triples
and a home run.
Pinch Hit Beat Tigers.
His most recent noteworthy feat
in the pinch hitting line was staged
august II at the Yankee Stadium
against the Detroit Tigers.
With the score z to in favor of
Detroit, runners on first and second,
| and two out in the last half of the
ninth, Johnson was selected to do
his pinch stuff.
Johnson tripled, tying the score.

have swung at the ball in the same
old way but somehow the ball seems

ing. You just got to be lucky and
hit 'em where they aint."
| If Johnson continues his great
work he will lhave more than earned
fat cut in the word series, if the
Yanks are out of the contcnders.
And that seems likely now.

New York, Aug. 23.-Fate plays q
leading role in the career of many
baseball stars.
Fate seems to have decreed that
Walter johnson, greatest pitcher OF
all time, is never to play on pen.
nant winner.
Johnson has spent his entire big
league career with the Washington
club. During the greater part of the
aggregation.
1t has been Johnson's bad luck to
have cast his lot with consistent
loser. The ambition of his life, to
pitch in a world series, probably new
err will be realized.
While Fate frowns on some of the
noble athletes, it smiles most bland
ly on others. Take the cases of Ernie
Johnson of the New York Yankees,
for instance.
White SOx Ask Waivers.
Johnson began the season with the
Chicago White Sox Salary differ
ences delayed his spring training
Lack of condition got him away to a
bad start. To cap the climax, the
White Sox asked for waivers on
Johnson.
Now for the big break in his ca.
reer.
The New York Yankees lacked
substitute infielders. Fear tn a
Everett Scott might break, made il
necessary that the Yankees secure
an understudy. The Yankees de.
cided to clai hutchinson, feeling that
the veteran shortstop would be q
very handy man to have around.
Enter Johnson in decidedly new
role.
Always good fielder; it was fig.
ured that he would be able to fill the
gap at shortstop if Scott faltered

The runner on first had become

Ideas regarding cleanliness have
