In these days it is the home cup
that furnishes the ball, and the oall
rnust he n real Lacquer unless tnere
is some agreement between the teams
nv which another ball may be useo.
In league games none but ofhcial oaiis
ever are used.
IT. a general way the dennltion loi
a bat was about the same as II Is at
nrAs.nt. but the bat has been per-
fected to a great degree over the bat
of old. If some of the batters VINO
could make home runs with the
clumsy affairs which were first turned
for base bali could pick up one or the
graceful and well proportioned sticks
of ash that now are common In the
game, the old-timers would take the
bats to bed with them for fear they
would be stolen before they had
chance to try them out.
There was another odd rule in the
old days. The base bag was the base
and not the stake to which the bag
was fastened The result of that rule
was that the runner had to follow the
base, which is not done now. If the
base broke away from the peg and
carried Is feet out toward the out
field the runner had to make after
1t, which he usually did on his hands
and knees. If it was too much eff
fort there were some runners
who thought it too much effort-they
would stand still and permit them
selves to be touched out, because one
run did not have the value then that
it has now.
Fifty runs in a game were not un-
common, and no runner was going to
break his heart over an insignificant
''one." Maybe Is or 30 runs would
be scored in the last inning. SO why
take on because one was lost in the
fifth inning? They We're not thinking
of 1-to-0 games very much about that
time, and if some one had said there
might be. maybe. twenty 1-to-0 games

George Washington. Catholic Uni

The College Parkers meet Wash

George Washington meets one of
the trio. that game being with Wash

These games constitute all the col

anything but easy for the local outfit.
Notwithstanding the Bronx players
have not made such brilliant records
as the other three mentioned. Yes
terday's decisive victory scored by
Fordham over Army at West Point

just in time to see Marberry make a
bad throw to second base when he

Browns scored two runs and won the

He didn't worry much in Chicago,

He wouldn't watch the game which
settled the race. He wrapped a

OF the Series.

in a single season "some one" would
have been ridiculed off the field.
In these days. if the runner has
touched the base he has done his part.
If the base breaks away and slips to-
ward the outfield or into the infield 1t
makes no difference with the runner.
All he need do is to stand by the peg
and let the umpire do the rest.
The pitcher threw the ball from a
box 6 feet by A. 1t did not make any
difference from which part OF the box
he threw the ball. He simply had to
confine himself to the box. He could
stand in the rear of the box or in the
front He could come up to the line
on hop, skip and jump. or he could
stand still. Most Of the pitchers took
q running jump with the ball because
they thought they got more speed on
It, just as pitchers In these days think
they throw the ball much more pow
erfully if they take wind-up with
the pitching arm.
After the ball had left the hand of
the pitcher he was permitted to get
out of the box That is, if his last
step carried him over the front line,
it was all right if he let the ball go
before his foot got over the front line.
IL YOU threw the ball overland 1t
was a foul baIk. How's that, COM
pared with now? II the pitcher con-
tinued to do that sort of thing after
warning by the umpire, the latter
was given permission to forfeit the
game, 9 to 0. OF course, IL the pitcher
made the kind Of balk that Is made
now-threatened to deliyer the ball
to the batter without going through
with the play-it was balk as IT ls
today.
