 PUzzLING PLAYS
Explains When It Is Possible to
 Score on Double Play

Under what conditions is 1t
 impossible for a run to score
 from third base while the team
 in the field is executing a dou-
 ble play that retires the side?
 The rule relating to the scoring of runs says that run shall not score If the runner reach home on or during a double play in which the third man be forced out or be put out before reaching first base.
 Thus if is impossible for a run to score on double play in which the final out Is a force-out or a play that retircs a runner at first base.
 For instance, if with the bases filled the batsman hits to the third baseman, who touches that base for a force, making the second out of the inning and then throws to sec ond, forcing the runner coming from first, the runner from third does not score, even though he crossed the plate considerably in advance of the final out. In this case the third out was a force play at second.
 In the same play, If the third baseman touched third and then elected to throw to first, retiring the batsman, the runner from third would not score, even though he had passed over the plate in ad- vance of the third out. In this case he crossed the plate on play in which the batsman failed to reach first for the final out of the inning rendering the run void.
 There you have two examples Of situation in which q run cannot score on a double play that retires the side; one play where the final | out is a force, the other where the | final out is due to the failure Of the | batsman to reach first.
 Tn situations where q double play | is made other than described above | 1t is possible for a run to score on such a play that retires the side

FOUR FACTORIES
 ENTERED IN MEET
Enthusiasm For Industrial Meet
 Runs High in tue City

Representatives of four manufac- turing concerns of New Britain met last evening and talked over the coming industrial athletic meet which is to be staged at Memorial Field in Willow Slook park next month. The factory men were en- thusastic over the preparations for the affair and all state that they arc sure of q large number of entries for the events which are to be staged
 Jack Hartnpy Of I.aNdpra f'rary X Clark, George Rawlings of the Stanley Works and many others who We're interested attended the meet ing or came in later and all look back to their plants large number of entry blanks which they hope 10 return filled out.
 It vas decided to change the date of the track and field meet from Saturday, September to Saturday, September l2, This was done be- cause of the fact that the 5th is the Saturday before Labor Day and because of the three successive holi- days it was feared the track meet would interfere with other pleasures anticipated.
 The date no" set for the meet will be good hll-in for the dates between baseball and football and 1t is expected that the meet will meet with an unheralded success. Entry blanks are out now and o5 cents for an entrance fee will be charged.
 E. Vernon Read displayed the silver cups which are to be awarded for the first three places in the events and these will be placed on exhibition in the windows of B. C. Porter & Sons within the next few weeks with suitable engraving upon them.
 It. was decided last night to have a trophy for the factory scoring the most points in the meet. This will tend to bring out that strong, prev alent rivalry that has always exist ed in the games between factories in town.
 The concerns which had represen- tatlves at the meeting last night and who plan to put teams in the field are the Stanley Works, Landers. l'rary X Clark, American Hardware Corporation and Skinner Chuck Co, Work will be started immediately on the signing of entries and these will be turned in not later than Sep tcmber 12 10 the Herald office.

The biggest md or the year Tn the majors?
 On the surface that appears to be rather perpleXing problem.
 However, a majority of the ex perts seem 10 think that Catcher Mickey" Cochrane of the PhiIa- delphia Athletics is entitled to that honor.
 Few backstops in the history of big league ball have jumped from the minors to Ahe position of first string catcher in one year. Mickey" Cochrane has that distinction.
 All the more surprising is the fact that Cochrane had only one year of professional experience prior 10 coming to the majors It was with Portland Of thr Pacific Coast league.
 Beat Perkins fur 'ob l Some idea of CoChranc remark i able ability can be gained from the | fact that he stepped ahead of Cy ! Perkins, one of the very finest cachers in either big league.
 Three years ago Cochrane was a student at Boston university, win- ming glory for his alma mater on 1 the gridiron as well as the dia- mond.
 In some way he escaped the eagle eye of the scouts of the two Boston clubs. However, that is not un- usual, for it seems 10 be hard for a local boy to make much headway with his home team,
 Literally, Cochranc arrived over night. In spring training, while he gave evidence of much ability, there seemed to be a lack of the me- chanics of catching to his play,
 Had One Bad Weakness
 He had habit of fighting the ball. In baseball, such an eXprcs- sion means failing to give with the pitch, there being stiffness 10 the arms that results in many dropped balls.
 Dropping pitched balls is fatal weakness for a catcher. It seriously handicaps his throwing out base. runners Tho time lost in regainine the ball, after once dropping it, in, f variably causes the loss of the run, nor.
 "I cant mako up my mind or
 him." remarked Connie Mack to m, , al Ft. Myers, Fla, this spring wher
 wo were discussing Cochrane.
 He can hit He has a great arm
 He is fast. Best of all he likes tn, game and his spirit IS an inspiration . 10 the rest Of inc boys.
 "OnCe he masters the techniqu , Of catching he is going 10 be a stai
 At present he fights the ball terri e bly,, but I am hopeful he wills lover a come that fault That, by the way :. is his only weakness" Cochranc Arrived Overnight
