WESTERNERS

Make it Hard Shedding for
Eastern Rivals

Chicago, June 6.-The western
into the parks of their eastern rivals
yesterday not as q gentle breeze but
as cyclone, winning two games and
coming within an ace of taking a
third.
st. Louis against Philadelphia and
Detroit against Washington were the
two western winners, but the real
thrill was furnished by the last place
White Sox, who frightened the New
York Yankees into going 10 innings,
finally succumbing in a desperate eff
fort. z to 6. The Yanks having lost
three straight needed the game and
they gave every ounce Of their power
to win. 1t meant more than victory
to them, for st. Louis with a stronger
attack than the Sox mauled Ed Rom
mel, one of Connie Mack's stars, and
won over Philadelphia, 10 to 3, CIV
ing the Yanks a wider margin.
Cleveland dropped the weak Boston
Red Sox with chance to GO into
second place. They are only three
points behind the Athletics who, mo-
mentarily at least, lost their punch.
The other westerner to win was De-
troit, which shut out Washington and
collected three runs. The victory
gave Cobb's team a look-in on the
eastern invasion and punching Phila-
delphia, Cleveland and Detroit gave
the battle for second place in the
American more realistic turn.
The New York Giants beat the Cubs
to 3, batting out victory over
Jack Bentley. The Baltimore star
failed to pitch winning ball and was
yanked. Brooklyn took a beating
from the Pirates and reiinQhisbed
second place to them. The score was
5 to 2.
"Bad Luck" Adolphe Luque, the
Cuban star, continued to laugh at mis-
jinx. winning his sixth game out of
, seven starts by allowing Boston only
three hits. The score was Z to l.
Philadelphia and st. Louis did not
play.

Matthews is just an ordinary hit

Do You Know
Baseball

Questions c.
ONE-Is there any way an umpire
can hurry dilatory tactics on the
part of the pitcher after he once
gets on the rubber?
TWO-When can a pitcher who has
been announced to start the game
be removed from the box?
THREE-Can a base umpire call 4
balk on the pitcher?
FOUR-lf pitcher while standing
on the rubber snaps the ball to
the third baseman without any
preliminary step in the direction
OF the base, is it a balk?
F1VE-Who has the right to decide
whether or not "a game will be
started when bad weather condi-
tons exist?
Answers
ONE-With runners on the bases
the umpire can call a balk if he
Is OF the opinion that the game is
unnecessarily delayed. Umpires
seldom resort to such drastic ac-
tion. If no runners are ON it is
balk IL pitcher fails to deliver
same within 20 seconds.
TWO = Pitcher announced must
pitch until one batsman Is retired
or becomes a base runner.
THREE - The base umpire has
such a right but he usually leaves
the enforcement of same to plate
umpire.
FOuRTPitcher makes q balk in SO
doing. He must step in direction
OF the base before delivering the
ball to same.
FIVE - Home manager has the
right as to starting a game. The
moment it is started IT'S up to the
umpire.

coming season.
Major league pitchers are also
giving some thought to the same
question.
1t has been rumOred that the ball
would be toned down bit this
year. The 1922 brand was the
lveliest ball ever manufa ctured.
The materials used in making it
were the best and always uniform,
50 that a superior ball was always
in use.
AS a rule the batters have the
edge in the spring. The pitchers
round into shape slower than the
batsmen. Bad weather i'm the early
spring seems to affect the arms OF
the pitchers more than the eyes of
The batters.
The usual bad weather that
strikes the teams after leaving
their southern camps has again
been experienced this year. ItNas
an excellent idea to start the sea-
SOD a week late in 1928. Otherwise
many postponed game would
have been piled up during the first
week Of play.
The first month or so of the sea-
sen invariably serves as barOme p.
ter OF what is to follow. If April
and May show high in the home

An argument arose as to whether
Hager should lift his ball and per-
nit Sweet to play. Sweet was also
on the green in four. Before the dis
pute was settled Il sudden gust of
wind blew Hager's ball into the cup.
The official ruled that Hager hol-
ed out in four, which won the hole
for him, otherwise it would have
been halved. Winning the ninth hole
in this extraordinary manner caused
the two players to be all even at the
end of the eighteenth, three extra
holes being necessary before Sweet

ured that Holmes, the former Sag

t'cnal card as the umpire. A wire
was sent, offering him a hundred
and expenses to Officiate.
Holmes declined thusly:

You don't have to engage in any

And it doesn't make any difference
whether he "already has plenty" or

your gift be duplicated.
A man can smoke up lot Of tobacco
between this Christmas and next;
while the humidor jar, in which we put
up pound of Edgeworth, keeps the
tobacco in prime condition indefinitely.
Edgeworth is tobacco that practi-
cally every pipe-smoker likes; it's
safe choice.
The 16-ounce jar sells for $1.65 at
