Question In a league where you
have resident players and non-resi-
dent, what constitutes a resident play
err? Is there a ruling anywhere that
explains it!
Answer: There is no official ruling
as to a nonresident player. The By.
laws of any league which recognizes
nonresident players should state ex.
plicitly from just what localities play.
crs may be drawn.
Question: Can baseball players,
such as Speaker, Cobb. Keller and
other good batters, or any major
league player, place his hits? Or do
they just trust to luck, or does a right
handed batter hit to one field and 4
left hand batter to another? In the
hit and run play are the batters sig.
nailed to hit through the infield where
the player is drawn away from?
Answer: Any high-class batter car!
place hits some of the time and many
try to do SO. A free swing at the ball
means luck. A right hand batter as 2
rule hits to left field and h left hand
batter to right field. In the hit and
run play it is the duty of the batter
to hit behind the runner.
Question: Can you tell me how
many consecutive games, since the or.
ganization of baseball. has any one
pitcher player. and what was his
name?
Answer: Charles Radbourne, 1851
DO.

AUTO POLO PROVES
TO BE EXAGGERATED
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT
Cars Turn Over and Are
Wrecked and Thrilling
Time Is Had by All.

Auto polo is simply an exaggerated
traffic jam. The thrills of smashups
on the downtown streets are intensi-
fled in this sport, introduced to San
Antonio Friday afternoon at the San
Antonio Speedway under the auspices
of Alzafar Temple of the Mystic
Shrine.
Speed fans and thrill-seekers saw
four specially-cOnstructed cars ram
each other, crash and turn over as
the drivers manipulated them and the
mallet wielders hung on with. one hand
and welded their sticks with the
other in an effort to knock, dribble or
roll n little red ball over their re-
spective goal lines.
The game was a part of three-day
auto polo and racing carnival being
held at the speedway under the auspices
of Alzafar Temple. Another program
is being held Saturday afternoon and
the final exhibition will be given Sum
day afternoon beginning at = o'clock.
The Lone Star team with two cars
on its side and the Red Ball team
with similar number of iron steeds
were the contenders Friday with the
Lone Stars winning out by a goal in
the fourth period. There was genuine
| fight in the game with the score tied
at three-all at the end of the third
period.
Wrecked cars were far from uncom-
mon. An extra car was rushed in on
several occasions when wheels broke.
rear ends were torn off or similar
accidents put the iron mounts out of
commission. The four cars BECAME in
terlocked at times and were unable
to separate. The rear end of one car
suddenly was lifted on the rear end of
another and one pushed the other away
from the ball while third took it off.
In furnishing a little additional
thrill after the game one of the cars
spceded before the grand stand and
took short turn. throwing the mallet
man clear by many feet. The driver,
protected by iron hoops stayed with
the wheel until the car turned and
spilled hot water from the radiator
over him.

New York. April 12.-The resound.
ing crack of the base bit and the shrill
cry of the bleacherite will soon echo
through the land. for within a few
days baseball fandom will thrill to the
arrival of Opening Day.
The battle between rookie and vet
cram, the long exhibition grind and
the arduous conditioning processes vir-
tuaky are completed. The hopes of
a vast majority of recruits. inevitably,
have been blasted and they are on
their way back to more or less OBJ
security. Veterans ere rounding into

pastime are taking stock of the
chances of their favorites in what
promises to be among the most keen
ly-contested big league races in re-
cent years.
BY today, many of the big league
outfits will be on their home grounds
for final tuning up. Next Tuesday
the American League. will inaugurate
its twenty-fifth season and the Ma

Seven times in the National

dangerous rivals.
The Philadelphia Athletics and Bos-
ton Red Sox belong in the dark
horse" category. The Mackmen,
greatly strengthened by several ex-
pensive recruits and with steadier
pitching, promise to set lively pace,
while the Red Sox, after several sea-
sons of floundering. appear rejuve-
mated under Lee Fohl's leadership, the
addition of several capable veterans,

The showing of the st. Louis
Browns depends largely upon whether
George Sisler. after full season of
idleness because of eye trouble, is able
to resume his brilliant form in the
field and at bat. plus his managerial
duties. Washington, under the guild
ance of youthful new pilot, Stanley
Harris, does not loom much stronger
than last year, when the club finished
fourth. but the Chicago White Sox,
now under Frank Chance, figure to
improve on their seventh-place finish
of 1923.
National big Three"
The Giants, partially rebuilt by Nc
Graw, after their stunning defeat in
the last worlds series, base their
pennant hopes on better pitching and
the ability of several youngsters TO
come through. The Cincinnati Reds
suffered bitter blow in the death OF
their manager. Pat Moran, but, with
the best pitching staff in the league,
and veteran cast. they share with
Pittsburg. another experienced. hard
hitting outfit with good twirling, the
position of leading contenders.
This outstanding trio will be most
closely pressed. experts believe. by the
Chicago Cubs. who bank upon an
excellent mound corps; the st. Louis
Cardinals. with their formidable at
tack, and the Boston Braves, who
also boast brilliant and youthful
pitching staff and have taken on
new energy under the aggressive lead
crship of Dave Bankfort.
Brooklyn and the Phillies both have
been strengthened but their chances of
escaping second division depths are
slim.

Polishing up their teamwork for

devoting much of the time at their
