MISTAKEN SCORES N0T ENTIRELY NEW Recent Giant White SoI Game
 Has Real Parallel
(By Billy Evans)

That was queer situation down south the other day when the New York Giants left the field, believing they had beaten the White Sox 10 to 9, only to later learn that the game had ended in a g to g tie. ., -.
 In great many of the smaller minor league parks boy looks after the score board. Usually he has no connection with the press box so he must do his own scoring.
 That created all the trouble. Tn a certain inning in which the Giants made a bunch of runs he gavs them more than they were entitled to. =
 The surprising feature is.that none of the players or umpires noticed the mistake. The fact that it was merely an exhibition game probably explains it.
 The game between the Giants and White Sox Is not without its parallel. Such a thing happened in regularly scheduled game in one of the bigger minor leagues several years ago.
 The boy operating the score board was the town oracle on baseball. How ever, he misinterpreted rule that cut off run which decided the ball game.
 Early in the game the home team had a batting rally, putting over bunch of runs. The inning ended in a double play, a runner passing over the plate while the play was being completed. That was the all i'm portant run that was lost.
 This was the situation just before the side was retired. Runners ou first and third and one out when the batsman hit a long fly to the right fielder. Now for the fireworks:
 The runner on third held his base believing the catch would be made. He was also of the opinion that he could easily score whether or not the field CT caught the ball.
 The runner on first didn't think the fielder would make the catch and ran wild.
 The fielder caught the ball. ThD runner on third held his base and crossed the plate while. the fielder va, doubling up the runner at first.
 The runner on third crossed th plate several steps before the final ou' was made and, Of course, was entitled to score. since there was no force third out.
 
 The scoreboard boy decided the rni didn't count, believing no run coulJ score on a double play. He didn't put it up.
 The home team left the field al tll' colse of the ninth believing it had beci beaten when as a matter Of fact th score was a tie.

Capeoiul to The IIelald.j

D ritisiicid, Mass, April l5.--"Wop'
 Aanolcum ut Boston, who claims New Britain, Conn. as the old home town, kissed the canvas and heard thc birdies sing In the eighth round of his scheduled 10 round bout with Tracey Ferguson of Northford, Coun., here last night.
 | Whether or not this is the first time the "Wop' has been kayoed in his professional career is not de6- nitely known, but it is fact that il is the first time that he has been put to sleep in the cast. and it was especially sweet of the Northford boy since in a previous meeting in this city Manoleum all but put him away and easily earned the decision. Then, il couple Of weeks ago in Meriden, Ferguson staged a great come back and, according to ringside fans, , earned the decision from the "Wop" only to be robbed Of it by the ref , cree.
 Tracey Changes style Ferguson adopted different style toward his rival and got the desired results. Only the fourth and sixth rounds could be given to Manoleum and they go to him by a scant margin. The first was even as both were bit cautious and busily engaged in feeling each other out. The second, third, fifth. sixth and last were Fer guson's rounds by the proyerbial mile.
 Much has been heard here Of Manoleum's left hand and of its power. It was seen here in action the first time the men met and the south paw sent Ferguson down twice in the tenth round. But the Nutmeg state leather-pusher showed right hand last night that is to be feared and respected as it spelled Manoleum's downfall.
 The Fatal Round
 Tn the eighth Ferguson came out of the corner and after exchanging series of blows with his opponent | caught Manoleum with a right hano | smash, flush on the jaw. Manoleum | kept coming in for more and the right | hand was sunk in the stomach. A | third right hand 10 the jaw sent him [ to the canvas. dead to the world and | beaten.
 With tho exception Of cut over the right eye, received in the fourth, Ferguson was practically unmarked.

Boston, April i5.-The sensation oi the spring training camps is Short stop Dudley Lee Of the Boston Red sox.
 This young man seems 'to have oyershadowed the score or more high ly touted recruits. taken south by the majors.
 Dudley Lee halls from the Tulsa tokla.) club Of the Western league. He led the shortstops of that organi- zation in fielding, batted .340 and stole a2 bases. Rather an imposing It ord.
 Let us go back about four years. am sitting in the bench Of the St. Louis Browns in that city, watching the home team take its final practice before starting the game. notice n wee bit of a chap making all kinds of sensational plays at shortstop.
 Who is that playing shortstop'' l ask ed Manager Lee Fohl.
 'Just kid from the sanJlots but hc may some day be one Of the great est shortstops in the game. He's a bit light now, but will grow huskier. Maybe he will hit and maybe he won't, but he sure can field"
 Ice Returns to Fohl.
 The scene is shifted. Lee Fohl is now the manager of the Boston Red Sox Dudley, the sandlot kid of few years back, is his shortstop, lohl says Lee has fuihlled his great est expectations.
 It's some job. however, that Dud- Icy Lee, spring sensation, has been called upon to play as the Boston Red sox shortsiop.
 The diminuti,e Dudley must fill several large sized pairs of shoes. The Boston fans have become ac- customed to seeing real shortstops in action.
 Hearken back to other days and your memory reminds you that l5 years ago the Peerless Freddy Par ent cayorted around the short field of the Boston Americans.
 Parent was one Of the outstanding figures of that great infieid, Collins, Parent, Ferris and La Chance.
 Then along came Heinie Wagner. Like the great ffonus, lislnle was not grace pcrsonifed hut how he could grab those nasty bounders and what a wonder he was in putting the ball on the runner.
 Tough Job to Fill.
 With the passing Of Wagner, Ev- erett Scott. the little ''iron man" made his appearance. The sale of Scott to New York was far from relished by Bostonians. He was prime favorite.
 Scott holds the world record for consecutive playing with l1Ss games 10 his credit. He says he expects 10 20 the entire route. Since the passing Of Scott inc short uop shoes have been badly filled st Boston. Enter Dudley Lee 10 win fame.
 Shades of the brilliant Parent. the great Wagner and the sensational Scott.

Jack Hendricks, new manager of the Cincinnati Reds, is minor league leader of wide experience and at one time managed the St. Louis Cardinals.
 Hendricks is creature of fate. Signed to assist Pat Moran in han ding the Cincinnati club, the death of the Reds popular manager put him in line for the position.
 It will be decidedly interesting to see what affect, if any, managing a club has on the three new leaders, who are player-managers.
 Sisler at first, Bancroft at short and Harris at second are among the leaders at their respective positions, outstanding stars. Will the worries of managing a club slow down their play?
